Remember when RoboCop shot that dude in the dick?
Wasn’t this more or less the premise of Chinatown (1974)?
Well, in our reality corporate America less directly aids crime and moreso lowers the populations quality of life until crime becomes a viable career path.
depends on what you consider crime. if we go by actual money stolen through wage theft or unpayed taxes, then corporate America simply is the criminals.
third world countries where multinational corporations have been buying up land and propping up and collaborating with authoritarian governments for decades: first time?
I swear people don’t realize that Robocop and Starship Troopers is satire. Like how do you not see the obvious social commentary
I don’t know how people don’t realize being robocop would be terrifying and these movies are more akin to horror. Your consciousness trapped in a machine, your body parts stripped away leaving you with nothing but a circulatory system. Castration to the highest degree where your only sense of touch is limited to a few scraps of skin stretched across a metal frame. You’re primal urges to eat drink and breath all suppressed since you’re barely even human. In the new robocop most of your brain has been replaced with a cybernetic brain, you wouldnt even know if you were ever human at all. I’m sorry guys nothing about robocop is appealing.
This was my first thought. Maybe if you’ve only seen either movie as a child, I guess…
