amazon owns robocop? I would think they'd use him somehow but I think Robocop has a limited audience, he was only ever popular in the 80s basically and all attempts at reviving the concept have failed. The few original shows I've watched form Amazon like the Tick live action show are a mixed bag, they have the budget but the writing is a bit weak.I've never watched robocop but I'm interested in checking it out one day.

The idea of "cops" just weren't cool in the 90s or the 00's when I was growing up, people wanted to be the "anti hero" not be part of a corrupt organization. Even in wrestling the cop character was a bad guy in the 90s, only did I later find out he used to be a "good guy" back in the 80s. A "cool" cop is a hard sell, even if he's a robot, but this is how someone who has never seen the movie thinks of the character, I know it's a beloved franchise so perhaps the original movie really is that good, that's why I want to check it out.
