Robot Copulator: Rough Justice
Dead or Alive, you're comming with me
and yes by today's standards that's a really dated and stupid design
like i don't think people understand what the whole Deal is if they read that spoiler and think it's stupid
that shit is the entire Deal with robocop
Let's step outside!
anyone here seen it?
Oh fuck off, twitter guy, the original design still fucking rocks.

READ MY COMIC ^^
I don't think anybody here's seen it yet, but it's got 90% RT/69 MC so far, so I'm pretty sold
So yeah there is gonna be a decent amount of red on the suit via post production, probably
Yesssssssssssssssssss.
If that's really how things go down, though, it's not looking great.

I'm not particularly hopeful about any more remakes of iconic 80's action movies
Moreso than the '80s one which I really didn't like much at all
the most generic, insipid, boring, poorly lit movie i've seen, first movie i've walked out of
read the wiki synopsis for the rest of the movie, don't regret my decision
a more action oriented Inception, sort of thing
but instead it was just a dull, C- movie
Psh
Chronologically speaking, maybe
that almost takes talent
If so, please direct me to the movies you're seeing because I thought it looked pretty unique outside of the context of video games
i could point to anything from will smith's i, robot to star trek '09
there was not a single original thing it did and IT HAD SUCH SHITTY LIGHTING AND WRITING AND ACTION HOLY SHIT I HATED THAT MOVIE
Please tell me you're talking about the new one. I haven't seen it so I don't know if it's good or not, but I love the original so much.
But, and I know it might look better with CG, in motion, all that, this design really doesn't work for the modern angle either. I mean, let's ignore things like Iron Man's film design still having a nice heft. We're talking the sleek Ipod stuff, right?
Suit doesn't sell for that either. Too much breaking up the lines, too much meat from obviously having a human in it to get that EVE-from-WALL-E, Portal Turret, spindly limbed mech feeling.
I mean, if it looked like Apple's ICop, then I'd still be put out, but I'd see what they were going for. Heck, it'd offer a lot of different ground for satire, which is always nice. (And having all the organs shot out would be an excuse for aesthetics not matching human proportions).
This? I know people will say "That's what they're going for!", but it feels like a shoddily put together "badass" design. It doesn't look like it's supposed to be a production model. Old Robocop did. Had a big, chunky feel to him which said "Our product is sturdy! It will keep the streets safe!"
New Robocop looks like he's supposed to be individually badass (fails at it in my opinion, but that's the impression I get), which doesn't work so well if they're trying to sell this to a city for mass production. Old Robocop may have been a beater design, but he was a beater of a police car . New design feels like a personalized road rocket.
Why I fear the ocean.
I have seen it, you should also probably go and see it on account of it being pretty great.
I mean it doesn't exactly push the boundaries of cinema or anything but it is Judge Dredd which is really all the excuse you need.
Sticks pretty close to the comics, nice visuals, action scenes are well done and various peoples heads explode, occasionally in slow motion.
you keep saying things like this but I don't think you actually know what you're talking about
"guys why is a remake of a satire poking fun at concepts in the original that seem dated in comparison to what we have now" is p dumb sorry
To be fair it did not some sort of design change if the movie wanted to be anything more then an affectionate recreation of the original
Nobody expected this, we hoped for a new design that would be an evolution on a pulpy robotic design and instead got a dude in body armour.
Like I said in the fiction thread the new outfit doesn't feel at all like a robotic cop, and if that tweet is accurate
Seriously that doesn't help matters at all.
the original Robocop wasn't designed as a pulpy robot man
it was made as a super futuristic looking cyborg
it just looks like a pulpy robot man now because it was made in the eighties
if Robocop was made now for the first time, then it'd look like the new Robocop does
a.k.a sleek and matt and stealth bomber-y in a twenty-minutes-in-the-future-way
He has normal proportions
He should either be a bit bigger than a normal man or spindlier
the first movie, and presumably the new one, are all about satire
and yes by 2012 standards that is a really dumb, clunky design. it's iconic because of the movie, but in a world where robocop the movie doesn't exist, if you showed that to someone in 2030whatever they'd laugh at you, because it looks like teh 1980s vision of the future
there's a difference between actually making fun of it and thinking its dumb and satirizing it
i would be more disappointed if that scene wasn't in the movie
there's almost certainly going to be some CG work around the edges
one of the promo shots on the omnicorp website, you can see his shoulder, and it's way too sleek for a normal arm to fit in the socket
so i'd expect shit like that
