Forget the fact that the scientists had the red core in the testing area, forget the fact that someone not assigned to the project was allowed to directly interact and influence it, forget the lax security that allowed Toby to be there in the first place. The most unbelievable part about this scene to me is that Tenma didn't instantly fly into a psychopathic rage and beat the SHIT out of Stone there, because he was advised not to use the Red Core and he did it anyway, knowing explicitly that it was an "evil energy". It can be proven that he knew it was malicious energy after he himself described the blue core as "sweetness and light, save the dolphins, give peace a chance and so forth?". With that comparison what else would he have thought the red core to be if not the exact opposite: evil. If I was Tenma, I would have kept punching until he stopped moving.

[@mikemagnus9447]

bingo.

[@littlemoth4956]

1) They were testing both cores. 2) He sponsored it. They were showing him their progress. 3) It’s Tenma’s son. All of the guards were focused on protecting Stone should something go wrong. Also, they’re idiots. 4) Sorry bud, that’s not how emotions work. If your son fucking DIES in front of you, the first thing you do isn’t blame someone else.

[@DJFlare84]

@@littlemoth4956 1) No, they objectively were not. They scheduled this demonstration for the mayor with the explicit intent to ONLY use the Blue Core. They may have developed the red core there and were testing it in other experiments but THIS experiment was ONLY meant for the blue core, and again it was a demonstration planned in ADVANCE, meaning they had time to move the red core to another area. 2) He SPONSORED it but he is not qualified or authorized to use the scientific equipment and why the fuck would he be? They have no idea what training, if ANY, he has with the controls. He barely manages to just guide the robot over to the red core. If you can honestly say you would allow the mayor to hijack control of the project and mess with the controls you don't understand how basic safety protocols work. 3) This is the only fair point you made specifically because I agree they're idiots and that's the only viable explanation for what happened. 4) If you wouldn't violence the man directly responsible for your child's death I don't know what to say to you. Better to simply agree to disagree.

I mean cmon Nicolas Cage as a mad scientist that’s like everything I could ever want! But he plays it too subdued and somber while it’s sympathetic it’s just making his only problem being he never really knew his son that well so it has to be a failure. Cage isn’t the only massive star hardly used to full potential either, Samuel Jackson is ZOG and while his lines are awesome being the original Baymax in this movie he’s not utilized much either aside from bringing Astro boy back.

I like that in these kinds of movies where you have the positive and negative energy, they don’t do anything to hide the obviously evil energy or lock it away, they just Have it sitting there

[@purple-eyesgreydragon]

Personally I love this movie! I always thought Astro was very cool! This was even my first interaction with him. My mom thought the story was too depressing with his son dying and him later giving up Astro. Yet she’s watched and loves the Never-Ending Story. Also this has always been the story of Astro Boy. The ways Tobio dies may be different but the rest is the same. Plus it has great cast, Arthur, Ghost Rider, Princess Anna (before Frozen too!), Nick Fury, etc.

Original thought: I thought it would be cool, that if a second movie would have been made, that the original astro would come back from a negative energy dimension as a villain. Like, it might not follow the OG story, but a biological being with red energy consuming him sounds awesome.

The peacekeeper played a really good good role in this movie, but there’s one thing I find concerning about its character.

[@Silver_S847]

@@internetduck1114 I just don’t like how unlike all the other robots in the movie like Zog, Tobie, Orrin and Trashcan, they refer to the Peacekeeper using the pronoun “it” instead of “he”. I feel like if they used “he” instead of “it”. It would make the Peacekeepers character more specific or accurate. I mean you understand what I’m saying, right?
