Who would do a better job of cleaning up Chicago, Judge Dredd or Robocop?

Which Chicago? IRL? If so, government would hunt Robicop down for the tech, and Dredd for vigilantism.

They're the same person.

This is the early design for Robocop, they were ripping off Dredd top to bottom

OFF TO THE ISOCUBES

Dredd would, robocop is too clunky, slow, and doesn't really adapt well to change

Robocop.

He is a lot more sensitive towards civilians.

Dredd...would start riots that he would then break up with a motorcycle that shot flames or something claiming they were blocking traffic.

mind blown

...

dredd

Robocop has done more and more impressive stuff
Dreddit is just a meme

>On the Criterion Edition audio commentary (available on both the LaserDisc and DVD versions), Verhoeven recalls that, when he first glanced through the script, he discarded it in disgust. Afterwards, his wife, after picking the script from the bin and reading it more thoroughly, convinced him that the plot had more substance than he had originally assumed. Repo Man director Alex Cox was offered the opportunity to direct before Verhoeven came aboard.[4] Kenneth Johnson, creator of television series V, The Bionic Woman, and The Incredible Hulk, said that he was offered the chance to direct, but turned it down when he was not allowed to change aspects of the script that he considered to be "mean-spirited, ugly and ultra-violent."[5]

>Before Peter Weller was cast, Rutger Hauer and Arnold Schwarzenegger were favored to play RoboCop by Verhoeven and the producers, respectively. However, each man's large frame would have made it difficult for either of them to move in the cumbersome RoboCop suit, which had been modeled on hockey gear and designed to be large and bulky. Weller won the role both because Verhoeven felt that he could adequately convey pathos with his lower face, and because Weller was especially lithe and could more easily move inside the suit than a bigger actor.[7]

>In the DVD director's commentary, Verhoeven explained that he intentionally chose to cast Kurtwood Smith and Ronny Cox against type by making them the central villains. Cox was an actor who, until then, was primarily known for "nice-guy" roles, such as fatherly figures. Similarly, Smith had been cast as more intellectual characters.[citation needed] Verhoeven chose to outfit Smith's character Clarence Boddicker in rimless glasses because of their intellectual association, creating a disparity in the character that Verhoeven found akin to the similarly bespectacled Heinrich Himmler.[10]

thats a kinographer to you. a man with a vision and a plan.

Dredd because he murders everyone.

RoboCop would actually take people into custody.

>Peter Weller had in the meantime hired Moni Yakim, the head of the Movement Department at Juilliard, to help create an appropriate way for him to move his body while wearing the RoboCop suit.[citation needed] He and Moni had envisioned RoboCop moving like a snake, dancing around its targets very elusively. The suit, however, proved to be too heavy and cumbersome. Instead, at the suggestion of Moni, it was decided that they would slow down RoboCop's movements in order to make them more appealing and plausible.

>It's meant to look very speedy and aerodynamic. All the lines are measured to go on a slant – forward, forward, forward! All the lines were geometric, and complement every shape on the body from all angles. When Verhoeven came on the project, he requested numerous design changes, additions to the suit which looked more like machine than man-like. I've never done so many conceptional drawings for a director in my entire life – changing it, and changing it, and changing it![19]

Yeah most of the time dredd creates much more carnage than he stops. Robocop actually helps out.

Dredd and the judges are legitimately the best possible solution to the issues present in the megacity. Chicago does not have the same tier of overpopulation and overcrowding that the megacity does, meaning his effectiveness in such a scenario would wane. But, ultimately, if the government released someone like him to clean up the city, he would do a really fuckin good job of finding the gang members responsible for all the violence, and fucking their shit up. His results seem less impressive in the megacity only because of how massive it is - even if he killed a thousand gangbangers, there's ten thousand more waiting to replace them.

>Acussing a Judge of unlawful murder
That's 10 years in the cubes, punk

A Mega-City is much worse than Detroit, so Dredd has more experience.

Neither, really. They're good at handling the criminals, but they won't bring the societal change that would reduce crime dramatically.

Robocop is stone age technology compared to Dredds universe.

oh shit did not know this

>fear
>not a good tool to shock people awake

The sorts of people who are causing the carnage in Chicago view prison as a badge of honor.

They've gone through several decades worth the coddling and being told that they're not responsible for their own lives or the state of their own community to get them to this point. The only thing that can save Chicago at this point is for society to unapologetically reject their victim narrative and hold them to account, violently when necessary.

Dredd only works because the law in Megacity one is retarded

if he worked anywhere else he would have to follow those rules instead

I think a bunch of niggers could do to Robocop what those junkies did to him in 2, and Dredd is not bulletproof so they both get rekt.
