This is easily comparable to the relplicants of Blade Runner. The technology during the time within the film allows the replicants to be made to look identical to a human. Not only do both False Maria and replicants look like humans though, they act, and seemingly think, like them too. Ultimately, as was also seen in Frankenstein, the replicants too meet a violent end. .
The theme of the replicants is not the only inspiration Blade Runner gained from Metropolis. Arguably most famous is the environment we see in Blade Runner. It is an extremely dark, dense and urban, with tall skyscrapers stacked in close to one another and flying cars zipping about. Looming over the city is the absolutely massive Tyrell Corporation building which seems to resemble a pyramid. Within the city it clear that those who live and work on the ground are part of a lower class. The streets are dark and filthy, overcrowded with downtrodden looking folk. On the other hand, when we catch a glimpse of where Dr. Eldon Tyrell lives, high above the city, it appears as if he lives in an entirely different world. He clearly lives a life of luxury, enjoying the sunlight which illuminates his living space. There is an obvious separation of wealth in the city where all of the power lies with the big corporations, or the "thinkers" if you will. Everyone else is to fend for themselves, powerless as the "workers." These images originate in Metropolis almost identically. Although they may not physically look the same, the symbolic meaning is certainly consistent. The "Tower of Babylon" that rises over the city of Metropolis inspired Dr. Eldon Tyrell's building. In the same way that Dr. Tyrell was the head of the replicants (in the way that he was their creator), the man that inhabited the huge building of Metropolis, Joh Fredersen, was the city's founder and master. Its "creator" if you will.
