    *Fun Fact:* the original Japanese version had the main character named as "8 Man", as he is considered an extra member of the Japanese police force. There are seven regular police precincts and 8 Man is treated as an unofficial eighth precinct.

  • @thesupremenecroticdakimakura

    So a cop (kind of) faced with murderous criminals who are killing by the tens, does not kill every one of them and just destroys their arms, making them enable to harm others (his visor shows the football players' heads and upper torsos as green) is a monster worse than murder-hungry psychopaths.
    You can't get more self-righteous than that.

      What about Batman killing the Joker? No matter how may times Batman had tossed the Joker in to the Asylum to be helped, he just gets out and causing more deaths. By letting the Joker live, he leaves people threatened to being just another victim. I mean, how many lives have been laid to waste because the Joker was allowed to live?

    • @samwill7259
      @samwill7259 Před 9 lety +7

      JohnMasterCheif Not as many as Batman has saved over the course of his career. And I will point you toward The Justice Lords. An alternate reality version of the JLA. They decided they had the authority to kill ONE supervillain, they they began considering themselves above the law, the took over the world and basically all but enslaved us all. You have to remember, superheroes in the DCU are NOT law enforcment. The actual law enforcment lets them run around in tights and catch bad guys because they mean well and most of them know they're not judge and jury and DEFINATLEY not executioner. Which is why "heroes" like the Kate Shaw Manhunter and Peacemaker arn't really considered "superheroes" they're considered serial killers and are treated as such.

    This reminds me of a conversation I once had with an old school Valiant comics fan and how he was upset how after Acclaim took over they basically started replacing certain hero characters in inappropriate ways. So similar to 8 Man After, Jack Boniface was replaced with Mike Leroi in Shadowman with the previous character being unceremoniously being killed offscreen. Miles Morales and Pre-Flashpoint Wally West is how you do legacy characters right everyone.

    This is why the 90's were bad. Trying too hard to be brutal, and not at all capturing the charm of the original series.
    If I were to be in charge of a remake nowadays, I'd keep the transformation being triggered by lighting up a smoke. 8 Man would stick a special cigarette in his mouth, light it, and say, "Showtime!" while it dangled from his lips.
    Then he'd use all kinds of cool robot kung-fu and fight robots and mutants alike!
    Meanwhile he'd juggle a romantic relationship/rivalry with a femme-bot that has the mind of the daughter the man who turned him into a robot. She also has cool robot powers, too, like laser beam eyes!
    I think this could be a good series. Now we just need a good setting, a wisecracking (but charming) sidekick, and a reoccurring badass villain that makes all the panties drop.

    And also, there's a question that was often overlooked. How does Eddie know that Azuma is dead? Remember, Azuma was NEVER seen again since he disappeared. And there's no way Hazama could have traces of Azuma's essence unless it was the exact same body he was inhabiting. And from how I see it, that's completely impossible. Think about this for a moment; Azuma simply vanished and was never seen or heard from again. And I don't think even Professor Tani even knows where he ran off to. And besides, Tani would have had to create an entirely new cyborg body from scratch in order for Hazama to become 8-Man at all. There's just no way Azuma could have been deleted from the brain's memory unless someone was able to catch him. So for all we know, Azuma could still be alive. But sadly, that was never resolved since there has never been any other anime adaptation of the series since 8-Man After. But at least the manga 8-Man Infinity continues the legacy. So contrary to what Sage said in his review, this is not where the series ends.

    • @ShadowSonic2
      @ShadowSonic2 Před 5 lety +1

      I think the idea is that only Sachiko thinks he was never seen or heard of again. What really happened was that Azuma couldn't handle he was a cyborg and went to the Professor, but he couldn't help him...so he erased his mind to put him out of his misery and kept the body.

    The 8th Man films were not dark. That was from a copy of a copy of the original. Some of the episodes out there today are English dubs that I made in the 1980s using the original Japanese episode videos. I had recorded 8th Man on my reel to reel tape recorder right off the TV when it was originally aired in the 1960s. Fortunately, I had these audio recordings because after the 1970s most of the 16mm prints used to show the series in the 1960s were lost or destroyed. With the advent of the internet, more original 16mm prints started to show up in the early 2000s. I do have to take issue with the comment that the 1960s episodes themselves don't hold up today. There were many classic episodes touching on important and challenging themes. Some examples are found in "The Battle of the Brothers"', "Intercrime's Invincible Robot", "The Nuclear Witch", "Countdown to Zero", "Seven Days of Terror", "Belligerent Bodyguard", "The Living Statue", "Menace From Outer Space", 'Pounce, the Robot Tiger", "The Valcouns", "Mechania City", "The Solar Satellite", etc. One must not have a Woke mindset when watching these today as that mindset didn't apply then.

    I thought Sachiko's voice was fimiliar, its the same actress who does reporter Summer Gleson's voice on the classic Batman the animated series. She turned in a bad performance here.

      hey, cut the reboot some slack; at least Murphy's consciousness was never unceremoniously deleted.

    • @ChristianNeihart
      @ChristianNeihart Před 7 lety +1

      In the OG Robocop, Murphy did have his consciousness somewhat erased.

    So.... if he was called "8 Man" because it was the 8th time they had attempted that procedure, shouldn't the new guy be "9 Man"?

    idk why but abbreviating "tobar the 8th man" into "8 man" just sounds so fucking hilariously janky and off

    Casting brand recognition aside, if this is supposed to be a sequel to the original anime, shouldn't it be called *9* Man?

      It's the same 8man's body, just with a new brain. Not a wholly new model.
