You just made me realize that the real life equivalent of the Robocop Films would actually have the bad guys plans work way better because manipulating the public into wildly unethical decisions through disingenuous tech hype is super effective.
We had a president whose administration acted like the the most unbelievable supervillain criminal gangs comic books could come up with. So it's not surprise a good movie couldn't compete with reality.
