They prolly thought Thanos did nothing wrong either. Or that Joker is a monster society created.

They were rooting for Captain Marvel and they cheered when all the female avengers assembled.

They hate all the male characters though. They think superheros are a display of toxic masculinity.

RoboCop is a movie about unrealistically good cops and unrealistically cartoonishly evil criminals. In terms of romanticizing and mythologizing police work it's up there with the TV show Cops itself.


Eh, I always figured it was mainly a warning on themes such as media influence, privatization and gentrification.

its a satire on corporate greed and power and the popular action movies of the time. i mean i guess you could throw fascism in there, but i think that pretty far down the list of takeaways
