The Many Looks of Robocop
Your favorite and mine, the Tell It Animated guy, returns with a new Robocop episode! Turns out, everybody’s favorite law enforcement cyborg has had a couple of different looks over the years.
Does anybody else remember that Robocop animated show from 1998-1999? It was called Robocop: Alpha Commando. It’s the one in the video with the really tall shoulders. I watched that show! It was about Robocop in the future and it was…honestly, I don’t know how it was. I have no memory of the episodes or the storylines or the style. I know there was a female cop partner, but that’s about it. Wild, man, wild!

Apparently the First Trailer for the Robocop Remake Arrived Just in Time for My Birthday
Is this your present to me, Internet? The first trailer for the new Robocop movie? I’ve never been a big Rococop fan. I never even saw the original Robocop when I was a kid in the 80s. I waited until I was well into adulthood before watching a marathon of Robocop movies. Why do you think I care, Internet?
The trailer looks barely OK. Looks like a basic Robocop movie that randomly stars Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson and Gary Oldman. How is a stellar cast like that appearing in Robocop?
Whatever the level of Robocop nostalgia, I think we can all agree that any movie coming out on Feb. 7 is already pre-ordained to fail. January and February are a crappy movie dumping ground. Everybody knows this, yet Hollywood keeps releasing movies in that season. It’s a never-ending cycle that won’t be broken with Robocop.
Oh jeez, I think I’m becoming a crotchety old man already…
