"21.4. It never ceases to amaze me how many good ideas they were able to squeeze nto this thing, like the revealing truth coming from TV, Robocop being like a sheriff of the town, the tone being more optimistic than anything, loss of humanity, the corporate villain literally falling from the top to his death etc. "
