And if it blows holes in walls and doors and other giant robots (every other episode would feature a giant robot) then why would it not blow apart a human? The main focus of every episode was to have contrived, annoying characters who serve no purpose other than to make poor stories happen (Lt. ![]() ![]() Then, a few seconds later, they are alright and alive as Robo arrests them. And how the hell can Clarence Boddicker be in it if he died in the movie? Remember that massive gun of Robo's? Well when he shoots it in this cartoon there is no entry or exit wound, no blood and the baddies fall down and die anyway. Making a kid's of RoboCop is just as moronic as making a kid's show of Freddy Krueger. Movies can often make great kid's shows (The Real Ghostbusters, Batman) but not when it means compromising everything that made it so good in the first place. But someone, somewhere thought that castrating Robo of all that was unique to him and selling it off direct to the kiddies was a good idea. But I knew the difference between fiction and real life, I could tell that the film wasn't meant to be taken too seriously and, to tell the truth, upon repeat viewings I was more interested in RoboCop's tragic afterlife/rebirth than anything else. Yes, the violence was the main thing that attracted me to RoboCop. Even though it had limbs getting blown off, melting men, buckets of gore and satire that would, no doubt, go right over the heads of kids, it was still yapped about in every playground. I mean this was an R-rated film and loads of parents let their kids see it. RoboCop was an awesome movie and could have been a great franchise.
