Robocop in review

Trust me, It’s not you, it’s me.

In the original Robocop, Murphy was considered property and that was justification for OCP to do whatever they wanted with him. This was part of the satire, a corporate sponsored (owned) police force and the OCP employees doing what they’re told, ethical considerations be damned!

Now we have a new movie where these considerations are a given.

So, given that the most outrageous things we thought a corporation could do 25 + years ago are now commonplace (corporate owned prisions, military outsorcing and unethical behaviour accepted as the norm from corporations), are corporations beyond satire now? And is the new Robocop movie saying this should be meekly accepted by not being even more outrageous?

If I was not able to make this idea at least comprehensible, I apologize :wink:
