What is really left Of Murphy? Do we care? Thoughts 🤔
What is left of Murphy?? Just How much of him was actually left inside of the machine?.. Do you even care?.
Does anybody else feel like the first RoboCop is cannon and then everything else is just Someone's interpretation of what and who he is.. For example RoboCop 2 fax line about "you're not even a corpse". There's plenty in the movies that state he's more than a corpse, heart, lungs, organics, brain, face?..
There are a lot of blank areas in the first movie which I personally like better because it makes us the audience think 🤔 and question his creation, but we are more interested in Murphy we can feel pity and understand him but we are also really curious.. It's never really fully explained to us on screen, he has a face? Eyes? Mouth? He has organics? A brain, He eats etc etc They even had his arm attached and functional at some point.
It just raises a lot of questions. If He needs to eat, has organics, and a brain he would have to have oxygen and other stuff to function.. now I would assume from watching the first movie that was his actual head and face.. stapled on top of a metal skeleton. But after the movie we're led to believe It is not murphys head, it's just his face and skin that is stretched over a metal skull.. Does he have bodily functions, pooping peeing? Does he need to drink water?
R2 "They made this to honor him" is a little vague. A throw away like to hurt his wife and make her realize her husband's dead, but in the same movie we learn he has a brain, heart, organics etc and in RoboCop 3 he has even more and has a heart transplant..
The construction of RoboCop is kept very vague in R1, I understand people want to know how RoboCop works and functions, but it annoys me when people act all scientist and technical and tell us how they think it is as facts. If we take R1, R2 and R3 as canon, there's nothing that suggests anything is concrete.. And there's still lots of debate about, So does anybody have anything directly from Edward Neumeier or from Paul Verhoeven.? Part man part machine was all I needed to know back then.
