Less RoboCop and More RoboHomer

I didn’t ask for this…

Did he even get paid after they brought him back?

[–] Honse@lemmy.dbzer0.com 60 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No he became property, an asset owned by the corporation.

This concept makes CEOs cum

In fact, they killed him to save money, but still get the labor.

Except Robocop. The moral being: Only cops that are treated like property are good.

No, no.

It's because Robocop is a dead cop.

Except Robocop

Robocop fights his programming at the end.

So he can shoot an unemployed man.

I think it was a vice president, not a CEO, though really at that level they're all kind of the same.

Edit: upon reflection, I dont think he even shot the guy, the murder robot did.

Edit2EB: upon further reflection I'm probably mistaking it for an earlier scene where the murder bot goes on a rampage, which leads to them making robocop. Clearly I have to rewatch it.

It's been ages but if my memory isn't lying to me...

Hidden in case anyone hasn't seen or is going to rewatchyou're right about the bad guy end up being a VP, the whole story unravels in front of Robocop and the company's board, and the dude is standing there smugly because one of Robocop's core directives is he can't kill an executive of the company. The CEO in standard 80s action movie style says "hey ... you're fired", Robocop pauses long enough for the bad guy to realise what just happened, then shoots the guy

Also the above is for the first movie, I think the second movie is where the sentry thing does the deed.

I should dust these off and watch them again lol

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

The second movie has a pseudo robocop where they put a sociopathic criminal in a brain suit, the first one has the murder robot. I know that at least.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, also I've had nightmares about the time they chopped him up and dumped him in front of the station and he still wasn't dead.

Go back to work and never do anything else but work, even.
