Her given name is actually Nadia Makita, Quellcrist Falconer is the pseudonym she goes by after she starts her revolution. This pretty much only comes up in passing during the show. I think it's mentioned like... once, that Quell is not her given name.
resubmitting because i forgot a picture the first time, sorry!
big fan of Quellcrist Falconer from Netflix's Altered Carbon (not necessarily an endorsement of the show). she invented a way to transfer consciousness via technology, then spent the rest of her life as a revolutionary trying to destroy the tech, once she realized it would only be used to maintain inequality. She led a group called the Envoys, and (among other things) taught them how to use their minds to hack/break free of VR simulations they might be put in.'
Quellcrist Falconer. Hell of a name. Damn lmao what did the show do 🤣 actually no don't tell me. It's Netflix. Oooooooh that concept is always interesting. That whole "what have I done, what has my brilliance created." Like Oppenheimer except, you know... Nvm let me not. This is definitely something Hot Chocolate would like, I'll show it to him.
Hot Chocolate: Ice was right, I LOVE this. Like she said, Quellcrist is a hell of a name... I ain't gone lie, it kinda sounds like it came from a name generator. Regardless! Black woman invents immortality? Realizes corporations are using it for evil and builds a revolutionary force to take them down? Sign me up for her army AND this show. We are Envoys! 💪🏾 I've heard this show was good but never heard anything of the premise.
#fucking love quell#ONLY the show version tho. the book version is a radfem. i put aside my plans to read the books when i discovered that.#having not read the books i genuinely dont know if shes Black in them as well but i think the casting for the show was phenomenal#i fucking love altered carbon but i also wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone#they also just. canceled it. at the end of s2. hahaha.#the books are ENTIRELY different plot wise from the show. the show took many creative liberties.#book readers didnt necessarily like this but i hadnt read the books and rly enjoyed it so#it DOES sound like a name generator was used i agree. idk what the author was doing with that.
