RoboCop: The Animated Series ep 01 Crime Wave

[@iamfiefo]

I love how, in the 80s and 90s, you could make a cartoon based on a R-rated movie.

[@southlondon86]

I love how in modern days dumb cgi kids fests about people in costumes flying off to save the world for the billionth time are classed as ‘entertainment’.

1980s: "Let's make an ultra violent action sci-fi movie for adults with blood gushing everywhere, hands and limbs being blown off by shotguns, and people literally melting." Also 1980s: "Now let's make it a cartoon for kids!"

[@Johnlindsey289]

They made toys for kids in 1988 based on Robocop and in 1985 they did merchandise for kids based on Rambo II and in 1991 they did Terminator 2 merchandise to kids even in 1992 Aliens figures

Crime Wave. It's the best episode of The Robocop Animated Series, by far. Certainly my personal favourite. Masterpiece. A work of art. :) It's also my favourite thing about Robocop, apart from the classic original proper film from 1987.

They nerfed the hell outta him ..movie version was way stronger lol

These old stories hold up better than today reboots.

[@DocMicrowave]

It's a pretty low bar.

[@southlondon86]

And today’s dumb cgi superhero crap fests

[@jaydub7386]

In the next reboot, they will gender-swap Robocop! Toxic masculinity! But if Robocop is a woman behaving like a man, it’s all boss babes and girl power!

[@DocMicrowave]

@@jaydub7386 That is very likely what would happen.

[@DocMicrowave]

Not to mention, current day reboots are nothing but quick money grabs and platforms for virtue signaling. With no heart or the entertainment value that the originals had. Often times just laying waste to formerly successful franchises.

[@warnerokereke4259]

The animation is top-notch for it's time! I had never seen this before today and I'm an 80's baby. This in the era where they took the time to make quality cartoons

[@JazGalaxy]

People always say crazy things like this. No, the animation was not top-notch “port time“. Things just used to be better. The art and animation in most cartoons, especially in the early episode, much better than what you get now due to computers and a generally lower, work ethic

[@WindupAtheist]

This looks like shit compared to things from the 90s and onward, what are you talking about?

"Kiss my big toe, copper!" Oh, I'm definitely stealing that. The Ed-260 traffic scene is quite funny, and quite a neat little demonstration of the fears surrounding AI.

[@AldenRDavis]

Opening Narration: "Detroit, the near future. Officer Alex J. Murphy and his partner, Anne Lewis, fight to rid the Motor City of the criminal element which infested. After being mortality wounded while in a line of duty, officer Murphy is outfitted by O.C.P. with bulletproof titanuim robotic parts, and the computer-enhanced motor and sensory capabilities. He has become the ultimate supercop...ROBOCOP!"

Very few of later serials, cartoons etc after the original Robocop menaged to do it justice. This whole evil corporation thing is hard to pull off and everybody seems to think it's easy and that's the problem!

RoboCop is certainly more agile and flexible here, if still a little robotic in his movements. Because this is a cartoon, he is not hindered by the clunkiness if the suit Peter Weller wore.

I haven't seen this in decades and forgot most of it. I'm surprised how much they hit the tone of the original film while still softening it up for kids. Human cops resenting Robo's existence, OCP corporate drama, humanity vs. programming, the baddie enlisting the aid of criminals. Huh.

I also remembered they had Rambo merchandise for kids and a cartoon! i also remembered in the early 90s they did Terminator 2 toys as i had a few T2 action figures, lunchbox, t-shirt, poster and all and they also did Demolition Man toys as well and Alien action figures as i had a couple of aliens action figures when i was 10.
