In the beginning in the arcade scene then later all the kids that were stealing from the eletronics shop and also the ones who were playing with the hydrant i know he was acting like an idiot and all but come on its Robocop .... not to mention Hob
They all hate Robocop . Why ? I know this film wasn't made for kids but come on ......Why make all the kids hate the main hero ?
That movie treated kids as kids really are. In a city with so much human garbage running the show, the children would reflect that. The kids would be wild, undisciplined, selfish, cruel, and barbaric. South Park does the same thing. It doesn't treat kids as inherently innocent or angelic. It treats kids as kids really are. Kids need to be shaped by society to turn out right. In Robocop 2 Detroit was portrayed as a place devoid of civilization. The portrayal of the children was spot on in that regard.
sharemakes sense
shareBut it is kind of inconsistent with the original where the kids loved Robocop and in the news interview they were excitedly jumping all around him with wonderment.
Plus what the hell was it with the LITTLE LEAGUE COACH leading the gang of kids who were supposed to be his team into robbing that store? That is the OPPOSITE of what he is supposed to do he is supposed to be a ROLE MODEL, I could not get past that, its classic "contributing to the delinquency of a minor". How the hell does a sleazbag like that get a job being a sports coach?

Not inconsistent, other kids can hate RoboCop because their mothers teach them to hate cops.
I suspect he wasn't a real little league coach - everything he and the kids wore was a disguise.
shareI despise all the disrespectful little brats in this movie. They nearly ruin my viewing pleasure every time I watch this film.

Kids suck...….nothing new there lol. Who the fuck would want to have kids anyways? I think you'd have to be a little insane or just very lonely IMO.

I quite liked the Little League kid who says "It's Robo!" and "He's fucked up!", as he was the same kid who played young Eddie Kaspbrak in the IT miniseries, and Eddie was always my favourite character there.
kids hate cops..... especially the non white kids.
movie was not allowed to show that however.
but otherwise, realistic
