I love total recall, but it made inception less fun to watch because they parallel so hard and total recall doesn't feel all hoity toity about the nonsense. Just look at the endings -

Inception: Was it all a dream? Is he still dreaming? Oooooh the top wobbled and you'll never know because we immediately cut the scene.

Total Recal:
Annie - but what if all of this was just a dream
The movie - who cares? Shut up, kiss the girl, and enjoy it either way.

What’s weird about Robocop 2 is that they make The Old Man a villain when he’s a neutral force in the first, one whom the executives are fighting over access to rather than being a character actively involved in making the plot.

The old man is absolutely a villain in robocop 1. He is the man in charge of OCP and all the horrendous shot they're doing is done with his rubber stamp. The deliberate underfunding of the cops and sending them into dangerous situations with no backup in sight is still traded back to him. He's painted sympatheticly the same way Hammond is in Jurassic Park(movie), and in the same way he's still the bad guy at the root of it all even if the conflict is driven by dick Jones/Nedry going rogue.

The cops repeatedly talking about striking is a plot beat for a reason.

He'll, robocop ain't exactly a good guy either. He's a police brutality machine that defaults to using excessive force. When he apprehend the ex mayor by grabbing him through the wall, robocop then flung the captured man out a window to his death.

The movie is designed to make you cheer for robo as he walks around as the cyborg embodiment of excessive force.

His lesson for soot is "don't gently caress with the money" so thats exactly what I think he brings.

And everyone calls him the new guy because that's what aforementioned idiot named him while trying to get his attention. I'm pretty sure soot didn't know his name at that point, just that he existed and wanted to do nebulous crime.

Now, why they kept calling him that after he revealed himself and gave his proper name, I have no answer.
