       tonight's watch was Robocop and some thoughts:I thought it was more of a teen movie than it turned out to beit's also interesting how the status quo doesn't change at all by the end of the moviealso I feel like two different people could draw entirely different conclusions from the movie. It doesn't feel that far away to draw a "capitalism is good, you just need to get rid of the few corrupt executives, also the police is underfunded which causes crime" from it even though it intends to say the opposite...in that way it mirrors my feelings on Starship Troopers, which could also be seen as a "infantry fuck yeah, love military rule" even if it's about the oppositeI guess that's the price of subtlety not spelling things out explicitly

       @mpk yeah exactly like ST, some people will not get the idea at all (especially when having a scene where all the police turn against the protagonists without a second thought)They are supposed to be rogue at this point... but then things kinda return to normal (which is what they did on the awful sequels 🥴)

       @maestrafenix @mpk well the sequels are just misguided, different staff and allthings rarely work out once your goal is to pump out sequels to cash in on a franchise
