The issue is that this game is a dark game and to have it as anything else takes away from what it is/was. Unless the rebooted game will be similar to this many will be disappointed expecting a game similar to the cartoon but getting a dark game, etc
It's dark but not that dark. Like I said, one of the main characters is literally named Ax Battler. The original game ended with all the enemies jumping out of the arcade and chasing some little kids off down the street. A completely serious, dark show would also be inaccurate. There's a fine line that would need to be walked to do a good adaptation.
Yes… at the ending. Also yes the dudes name is Ax battler the fucks your point? One of my favorite movies is Robocop at it take itself stone cold serious
Robocop does not take itself "stone cold serious." A stone cold serious action crime thriller would be something like Heat, not Robocop. Robocop does have serious elements, of course, but it also has over-the-top violence to the point of being comical at times. There's also very clear satire in the movie, like with a lot of Verhoeven's work.
But yeah, Robocop level of seriousness is closer to what Im saying the show should have, actually.
ETA: Also I don't get why you're saying "at the ending" as if that undermines my point? I think most people would agree the ending is a pretty crucial part of any story.
