    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.
