>this made boomers cum their pants
>>223920700boomers didnt know what that is
>>223920700RoboCop was for millennials.
So you didn't like RoboCop?
>>223920700yeah in your mother's vagina. then you were born, sonny heheh
>>223920700unironically one of the greatest movies of all time.
>>223920700DEAD OR ALIVE YOU ARE CUMMING WITH ME
>>223920700Just about a perfect action movie. Really impressed by how well paced it is. There's never a scene that drags or doesn't move the story forward.
>>223920767The very oldest millennials were only 6 years old when it came out, so no it wasn’t
>Female robot gets her own Dreamworks film.>Male robot gets destroyed by Rosalina in the SMGM trailer.I hate this continent..
>>223920882Silly Z boy. 6 years old were watching movies meant for 18-years-old back in my day. It was a rite of passage. Age Ratings only exist so "concerned parents" and similar lobby groups don't damage the image and reputation of corporations.
>>223920919Either way, it wasn’t meant for them. 6 year old boys can’t cum - it’s biologically impossible. They can get hard, but they can’t cum.
>>223920989You think about 6 year olds’ penises a lot?
Wait, am I the only one who finds human Murphy hotter than cyborg Murphy?

Robo got the worst treatment of all the 80s action franchises.>one okay-ish sequel that suffered from tonal problems and an annoying child actor>the next film was kiddy toy commercial and everyone hated it>cheap TV show with no violence or swearing. Again, kids were the audience and again, they didn't like it>a series of "Prime Directive" TV movies so shit that most people don't know they exist>the obligatory 2010s reboot film that no one gave a fuck about
>>223920919I’m a millennial and we sure as shit weren’t the fucking target audience. Seeing it young doesn’t mean it was made for you
>>223920919The oldest ones were 6. Most millennials hadn’t been born yet. Think, man
>>223920919The fact you said 18 and not 17 suggests you’re in the UK where seeing it that young when it was brand new wasn’t even an option
>>223922609Yes and no. I'm a millennial too. They did have age ratings back then. But remember: they same corporations made money made toys and merchandising for children for the very same 18-years rating films. Seeing mature on TV, even as preetens, was a common experience, even if sometimes you were hiding under the table or running to another room, only to resume watching it afterwards or literally hiding one of those toys as a cursed object (magical thinking) deep amongst your stuff so it wouldn't magically turn to live and hurt you.
>>223922568The videogame was fucking great though.
>>223920700No. Scene 27 did.https://www.vimeo.com/86014703
In the 1980s and 1990s, adult/R-rated franchises were aggressively marketed to children:>RoboCop (extreme R-rated violence) had animated cartoons (RoboCop: The Animated Series), Kenner action figures, and lunchboxes.>Terminator 2 (R-rated) had massive toy lines produced by Kenner.>Aliens (R-rated horror/sci-fi) had action figures and play sets marketed directly to 8-to-12-year-olds.>Toxic Crusaders was a kids' cartoon directly based on The Toxic Avenger, an ultra-gory B-horror film.Before streaming parental controls and strict age gates on digital platforms, broadcast TV, late-night cable, and VHS rentals made it very easy for kids to watch movies WAY above their age tier. Peeking from behind couches or watching through cracked doors while parents watched TV late at night is a universally relatable Millennial memory.The practice of aggressively marketing adult, R-rated franchises to young children gradually died out between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s. Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, parent-teacher associations, advocacy groups, and news programs voiced outrage over this. The turning point came in September 2000, when the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed that Hollywood studios, video game publishers, and toy manufacturers were intentionally targeting kids under 17 with advertising for violent, age-restricted media.To avoid government censorship or mandatory legislation, media companies tightened their internal guidelines. The practice of making Saturday morning cartoons or mass-market toy lines directly tied to R-rated movies effectively ended overnight.By the late 1990s and early 2000s, studios realized that making PG-13 blockbusters was vastly more profitable than making R-rated ones.As a child from this era, I saw fuck these "concerned parents" lobby groups and governments for that. These movies and toys were the coolest shit ever.
Moral advocacy groups rarely understand how kid culture actually functions. They view a Terminator toy as a direct pipeline to real-world aggression. Kids, on the other hand, view a Terminator toy as a robot with a cool metal skeleton that fought other robots.Moral panic over kids watching edgy stuff is mostly an American puritanical thing. The American-style "Moral Majority" or hyper-organized parent watchdog groups simply doesn't exist outside of America or don't have the same political clout. Parents generally viewed cartoons and movies as harmless fantasy rather than a threat to society's moral fabric.When Western media retreated into ultra-safe, corporate-approved territory in the late '90s and 2000s, Japanese animation stepped in to fill the void for anyone who wanted mature themes, actual stakes, dark sci-fi, and stunning action.
>>223922669I've got a two of these
>>223920915What continent exists where adults take movies for little children seriously?
>>223922669None of that means the movie was for millennials, it very obviously was not made with that generation in mind
Watched all 3 movies and still have no idea what the hype is about. All of the not so subtle commentary about corporation greed and authoritalian get thrown out of the window when you see this stupid baman looking robot.
>>223920700Every time the zommettes know Robo they know he's great. Just show a zoomette
>>223920700OPs leave
>>223924374He’s got nice abs
