    While exaggerated, OCP is sadly realistically believable as a successful company. Including acts like not even caring if absurdly expensive projects work. (Have you seen the downright broken money sinks that have been real US military projects within the last century?) The only part of OCP that doesn't hold up today is that the top execs actually seem to care about OCP continuing to exist, rather than pocketing as much as they can before golden parachuting themselves into another company.

    The idea behind OCP moving into non military civilian areas, was so that they could test their weapon concepts before they marketed them as weaponry, and save themselves some R&D as well as government oversight. Basically the same idea they reused for the Fallout games with Vault-Tech.

      " Basically the same idea they reused for the Fallout games with Vault-Tech."
      Except not really. Originally the Vault Experiments were sociological experiments done to gather data in the event that the nuclear war f***ed the planet beyond salvation and the Enclave had to temporarilily relocate in a space base.
      Then Bethesda took control of the IP and transformed the Experiments into "everything goes", Which makes no sense because the experiments started AFTER the bombs fell. And at that point what are the results good for?

    I think the reason ED209 was useless in an "urban pacification" role was because OCP always intended it to be for military application - anti-infantry/anti-material role. Trying to jam this walking tank into a policing role was just a way of squeezing more profits. Verhovens satire is incredibly smart and prescient and often gets ignored because his movies are also Bay-level explodey.

    • @xenon3990
      @xenon3990 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      That’s one thing I like about the remake. They showed ED-209s in the pacification of Iraq, and those things were absolute beasts. The only reason the robocop project took off in the remake was because they were too lethal and didn’t have an accurate Civilian/Hostile system, prompting OCP to go with the human part as a fallback.

      Ken was a fun guy. I used to lift weights with him, and I know he thought us cheering him being shot was good natured.
      I actually have a story about lifting weights with him ...
      We were doing squats one time, and I was on my last rep, which as usual was the hardest to finish. As a dutiful partner, he was coaching me on.
      Suddenly, he blurted out of nowhere:
      "C'mon, Bill, get it up there! Ya gotta have _biiiig_ legs to take curtain calls!!"
      I burst out laughing and damned near killed myself trying to not collapse under the weight.
      Another time, we were auditioning for a musical, which means you have to sing. Ken chose the song "I Get a Kick Out of You" from the musical _Anything Goes_ .
      The second verse of the song begins with, "Some get a kick from cocaine." Well, Ken was a recovering addict, something he made no secret of. When he hit that verse, he really over-sold it, and those of us watching couldn't help but start cracking up -- which was his intent.
      I have a lot fond memories of Ken. 😁

    • @rainer1980
      @rainer1980 ปีที่แล้ว

      And no corporate tax cuts from the government going to the renovation program, and spare parts because it all goes to inflating the value of company stocks a.k.a. stock buybacks, and CEO bonuses, which is what happens in reality. So, when Dick Jones said Ed 209 might not work, and nobody would care, that's why.

      An arrogant mistake was the first thing to come to mind(it's pretty cliché though).

      A earlier character that was forgotten about(though you may not have someone like this and even if you did he'd need some high social standing and leadership skills to assist judging by how powerful I'm guessing your villain is).
      Some sort of weakness like a prostitution or drug addiction.
      A power up for your protagonist.
      A really clever bluff from your protagonist.
      Sometimes the good guys lose.(though these endings are difficult to do and you may be better off with mutual destruction)
      And the best of all
      *the power of friendship*
      I just listed some endings I've read and seen in the media I like. In all honesty you may have to rewrite your story a few times, getting a good ending is very difficult and the longer your story is the more difficult finding the right ending could be. I'd recommend looking at short stories from different artists, or looking at some forms online as I am just a heavy consumer of narratives so my opinions should be taken with some salt. I do wish you the best of luck with your writing though, what's it about anyways I may have some interest in reading it.

They say early on that the only reason the Robocop project even exists is because of problems with the ED 209 project. The CEO doesn’t know how corrupt Dick Jones is so he’s not worried about Robocop coming back at them because in his mind they’ve done nothing wrong. Dick meanwhile tries to kill the Robocop project at every opportunity.

    Here's an interesting group of Villains, if you're into literature, or animated shows - the various Vermin Horde leaders of the Redwall series by Brian Jaques. 22 novels, and three seasons of animated shows based off of three of the books.
    The series is usually centered in a region known as Mossflower, specifically in a location called Redwall Abbey. Most of the characters are of the rodent variety, mice, moles, voles, shrews, hedgehogs, rats, stoats, weasels, ferrets, with hares, badgers, foxes, wildcats, wolverines, and various birds and reptiles thrown in as need be.
    Redwall is a place of plenty - food, water, shelter, healing knowledge - and it seems that every villain that shows up, wants to take it over. Some have come close, but it always seems like, at the last possible moment, the Warrior of Redwall shows up with The Sword, and a whole lot of friends, and soon the Horde is lucky if any survive the Retreat!
    Now, Redwall, by itself, has no standing armed forces, with the Sword of Martin the Warrior being picked up by whomever the Spirit of Martin chooses to take on the role of Warrior in times of need, for the most part. But, nearby are the Gousim Shrews, and the local Otter groups, plus various squirrel bands, who act as something of an effective militia, specializing in hit-and-run tactics, and basically convincing small vermin bands that "Coming here is your Death!" Against more serious foes, there is the Long Patrol hares from Salmadastron Mountain, who are basically the RAF on foot, always saying "Wot, wot?", but it can be something of an adventure getting there and coming back.
    Then there's the Vermin Hordes. Oddly enough, the ones who are pirates and corsairs must have access to decent technology, as they have access to ships, of the sort that can hold 100+ crew members of various ranks. Also, they tend to show up in numbers. Thing is, they tend to be filled with scheming backstabbers, ones who would kill the fella next to them, if they thought that they could get away with it. They also seem to think that if you kill the Boss, you become the Boss. Horde Leaders also tend to be cruel, killing loyal followers for no reason beyond something as trivial as "You dropped your shield while on Inspection!"
    Thing is, it seems that the Rank-and-File Vermin would be content doing things like farming, fishing, and generally living peacefully, until someone decides "I want to make a Name for Myself" and forcefully drags all the other vermin under their leadership under the threat of "Join, or Die!". Beyond joining to keep the Boss from killing them, and the promise of Loot and Plunder, or a desire for power, there's usually no motive for the average horde member to stay, aside from threat of a horrible death. In fact, some of them do occasionally pull off an effective "Screw this, I'm outta here!" and desert the Horde, surviving the book at any rate.
    The smartest Horde Leaders I've noticed are Verdauga Greeneyes, a Wildcat who'd taken over the area prior to Redwall being built - after crushing the local resistance, he was smart enough to forge a truce/peace with the Woodlanders, and used his forces to keep other vermin bands away, and collect "taxes", and while the locals didn't like him, they tolerated him. However, his daughter, Tsarmina, ruined this peace when she murdered Verdauga, and became a tyrant. Funny enough, her brother, Gingivere, wasn't a bad sort, who actually assisted the woodlanders, after they rescued him from a false imprisonment when he was framed for the murder of his father. He became a farmer after the war.
    Another smart Horde Leader was Bowfleg the Warlord. He was an overweight ferret who didn't do much, but was content with the area that he and his band had settled in. Then he got murdered by Swartt Sixclaw, who wanted to use the band for his own purposes.
    Then, there is Tramun Clogg - a pirate stoat, whose crew actually liked him. His problem was that he had made a few mistakes in the battle with Badrang, his former partner-turned-enemy, least of which being that his ship was destroyed, and Badrang eventually captured him and the crew, enslaving Clogg and giving the crew the choice between death, slavery, or joining his horde.
    Other Vermin Horde leaders are sometimes smart enough to go "Wait, attacking Redwall is a bad idea. Let's just kidnap someone and demand what it is we want, or terrorize the countryside." Doesn't always work out the way they want it.

    This is actually one thing the new 2014 Robocop did well and "fixed"

    They only needed to turn a human officer into a cyborg because they needed
    A living symbol people could feel like they're safe around and rally behind.
    They also anticipated that Murphy would turn against them and tried to
    Implement multiple failsafes, to the point where Murphy only won because
    He had help from others including some of the scientists that made him.

    Is the Prophet of Truth of the Covenant from the Halo games to stupid to win considering how he rashly causes a civil war by rushing his plans and he forcibly replaces his most effective fighting force the Elites with the highly aggressive Brutes who probably never learned how to efficiently run a military campaign properly with discipline, cunning tactics, resource management, and coordination before. And Truth decided to do all of this when they were so close to victory against the humans that he and his fellow prophets were focused on destroying.
    He was so close to the finish line of the Human-Covenant war and he intentionally trips on a banana peel thinking it will secure his victory for sure but ended up screwing up so badly.
    I would argue his biggest mistake was demoting the smartest and most brilliant Admiral of the Covenant navy Thel Vadam to the Arbiter because he's wasting the greatest military asset over a failed mission that wasn't actually Thel Vadam's fault but the Prophet of Stewardship who's the guy that screwed Thel Vadam over in protecting the first Halo ring.

      We need MORE eyes on the police so we can punish the rule breakers instead of just pushing the money into creating a new police force with a different name and media optics or else logically the new system will fall victim to the same problems as the old one.
      the police should not be breaking the law to enforce it, and we need the court of public opinion to force the courts of law to do their job and punish the bad guys....that means more funding and more transparency due to more observation.
      you cant solve crime, there are people like me who have no confidence in the government or law enforcemnt and will sooner throw a 3 lb can out my car and try to evade than pull over for a cop. You CAN restore confidence in the system by focusing on ending corruption and treating people fairly under the law.
      Charging the DA's and FBI officals who dropped the rioting charges agaist the BLM activists with obstruction of justice would be a good start IMO. But right now I can see the law only applies to one side of the political spectrum and I refuse to comply until confidence is restored.

    I'm from a third world country where the police of a province did a strike for a day due to wage issues, and that day became a looting fiesta, with shop owners injured, home owners barricating themselves, and looters who actually died as a result of forgetting to unplug the electronics they were trying to steal. There's stories of people seeing their former clients now breaking windows to steal all they can find. I don't know US as a whole, but I'm sure the same would happen with Detroit without police.
    Also, you'd be amazed at the things the executives could do under pressure. The business I worked for before, which had branches in several countries, completely fucked up it's own information management system (which, agan, worked across countries) just because the executive in charge of improving it didn't want to acknowledge the new system was still not ready for work even after delays. It wasn't even that he was going to get fired or anything, he just didn't want to lose face.
