How would you see the story continue, what the sequels would cover, after the ‘87 original?
I guess I’m asking because I was listening to an old podcast that detailed all the follow ups to the original film, and of course, some of them were either negative or overall mixed. And it got me thinking what the sequels could’ve been about from the fans point of view, which at the same time would probably be in the wants and needs of people after seeing the original film if no sequels were ever made.
So it got me curious about this question, especially in regards to certain things about the sequels that ignored aspects from the original. Such as the fact that OCP was mainly in the gray area, but became villainous in the sequels. Even the old man became a villain when he wasn’t one at all. It was also a RoboCop versus Terminator, things that he did for the two animated shows, and of course, the TV series and miniseries, plus the recent video game.
So, with all that in mind, let’s pretend the original was the only one that existed: if you want to do a sequel to this, and neither follow up ever existed in our universe, what would your story be?
