I don't know what's sadder the fact that he made a perfect replica of his son to replace the boy that died or that he was so upset over the fact that he didn't actually know his kid that he convinced himself something had gone wrong instead of him just not having been around his son enough to actually know about his likes and dislikes

[@shinethief3785]

There was the scene from with the blue core saying it was "unpredictable" (whatever that means). That makes me think that the blue core had some effect on Astro's personality. Probably making him less reserved, more out spoken around his father. Not changing his personality from Toby, just enhancing the more "positive" aspects of the original's personality. Your point is also super sad if that's the case. Also I do believe is a major contributing factor to the father's disconnection to Astro and inevitable breakdown.

[@yusufkurdi3582]

Yeah it was really sad but it's life full of death and disaster 😔💔

[@dreampiper]

The sad thing is that...it didn't create the perfect replica of Toby... He had a different personality and different interests. Toby was dead, and what he created was a new person with Toby's memories, something the doctor didn't want to accept as true. You can't bring back the dead, and Astro was proof of that. However, Tenma could be a better father to this one instead of his late one.

He wouldn't have thought anything because heaven isnt real. He was disintegrated. He is dead. So he was cloned and everything he had experienced had an impression on his DNA. That DNA was used to create a new Toby. This Toby is still the old Toby, just not a weak meat sack anymore. Still very much his son. I dont appreciate you being dismissive of robotic lifeforms. Consciousness is consciousness and needs to be respected regardless of how it came into existence. Of course since you're obviously Christian I'm going to assume you dont understand the beauty of quantum physics, genetics, and how AI furthering human life via extended consciousness via cybernetic links to artificial avatars. The vessel you call a body is nothing more than a meat sack containing your memories and experiences that you misinterpret as individuality or true consciousness. When in reality all you are is very easily mimicked and projected onto an AI which is just as much you as you are you. P.s. how does a father desperately trying to cling onto the shred of his son that he has the power to bring back into existence make you feel like Toby was "expendable". I tell my grandma everyday that I promise I will bring her back one day and show her the beauty of what this world becomes and that she shouldn't fear death because death is an illusion and that we all exist inside a black hole as information stored on the event horizon and within the black hole and worst case scenario she will just relive her life over and over.

Nic Cage as Dr. Tenma was an amazing casting choice. Shame that we never got a chance to see him go crazy and become a villain, Cage's manic energy in acting can actually match Tenma's insanity.

[@noahmeyer9756]

I don't know if I'd call Tenma a villian in the source material. In the 2003 version, yes. But in Osamu Tezuka's manga, no. Tenma was always portrayed first and foremost as a man who allowed his grief to consume him and drive him to make relatively understandable but still abhorent actions. At most, Tenma is a conflicted, tortured man. His rejection of Astro was always, even in the original manga, motivated by a brutal reminder that the Tobio who died would never come back. The CG film just spelled it out the most blatantly, which wasn't really Tezuka's style. I do agree that I would've loved to see more of this version of the material, as it was my introduction to Tezuka's storied body of work.

@@jsmaster4779 I know, right? I never realized it until a few days ago.

[@cirrusB612]

So I read somewhere that Cage didn't want to play this originally because he was a father with a boy around Toby's age. Could be completely false, but it's something to think about.

The fact that he made an exact replica of his dead son out of grief- Its actually kinda sad when you think about it ;-; When I first watched this movie I didn’t get it but now I realized it’s kinda messed up a bit-

[@Tenshii_Artii]

I only just realized that I think it was a genius idea casting Nicholas Cage as the voice acting role for the father. If we knew anything from the original series, and even from the 2003 animated series. The go in some adaptions basically does go crazy. Nic Cage was always known for perfectly capturing this sort of unnerving craziness that for a moments in time, hides behind a calmness. Before he ultimately snaps.

[@Don_Chettos_2007]

aun recuerdo cuando tenia 3 años, me gustaba mucho su serie y aparte tambien era mi favorita película, ojala algún día este personaje regrese nuevamente para recordar esos viejos tiempo donde era un niño muy feliz :,)

Astro Boy the one who started anime's existence.

[@SonicTheHedgehogsChannel-bn5st]

Yep

[@n0tic333]

We need to think deep about this. I’m his actual son is dead and is in heaven watching him make his son a robot. What does the actual Astro boy that is in heaven thinking about in that moment. Is he sad that he is not actually sad for his actual son that is dead and now in heaven. This shit is deep

[@OcnarfPro]

I dont think religion is a thing in this futuristic society

[@xMrBubbles]

His actual son is dead and no longer exists because god and heaven isnt real. The only way for his son to live again is through science. "Heaven" what are you 12?

[@giscavazos7326]

[@masteredautononomus_fighter]

It has also been said within this movie that this Astro Boy has programming and is bound by Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics. Movie Astro Boy isn't immune to the laws of robotics; it's his biggest weakness is the factor of his being Bound by Limited programming parameters within his electronic brain, which will kill him

I hate the fact that in the rest of the movie the original kid is just dead, gone and never gonna come back, maybe if they make a sequel where the kid's somehow back and is sad and angered about the fact that his father simply replaced him and moved on

@@Doriburu8380 actually Astro isn't your run of the mill robot can he actually eat, sleep etc practically almost do what a human can do. the only things that he can't do having the need to go to the bathroom, reproduce (well after reading Astro Boy 2 chapter probably possible) the ability to naturally grow up (so you practically need to build him a completely different body or just upgrade him every single year like reploids in mega Man) and also I don't think he can dream well this depends on which version

[@OmanAMNOTGOODWITHCOMPUTER]

I was honestly surprised this film was a box-office bomb and made the company lose over $20 million. Objectively it's not the best film, but it has some charm, but I'm still biased towards it as it was a significant part of my childhood. Such a shame, really.

[@espionheart6780]

It's really sad that tenma thought it was going to work, he may have built astro to look like toby and think like toby even giving him toby's memories but he wasn't toby, also I don't think tenma truely knew his son due to being such a workaholic, flaking on spending time with toby and seemingly only cared about his studies, it's clear he only made astro to get a second chance to be a present dad to make up for all the neglect, but when eventually realised he wasn't acting the way he wanted him to he quickly gave up and wanted to shut astro down, until eventually he excepted astro for who he was and accept him as his son.
