RoboCop was the worst of the remakes because they actually hired a writer/director who COULD have made a film that was compelling.

Jose Padilha did the Elite Squad trilogy, which is a fantastic series of films that I would rank right up there with the original RoboCop or Godfather. The second film especially is just about perfect -- highly violent, too (also one of the things that stood out to me the most was what happened to some SJW journalists in the film that ran afoul of the local cartel. There was no deus ex machina or woke safe bet to intercede. Film was brutally honest about what really goes on in those situations).

I remember Padilha's production notes that everything he wanted to do, the studio execs shot it down because they wanted to maintain a PG-13 rating.

A real shame, because had they let it be R and let Padilha work his magic, it MIGHT have been decent. Hints of brilliance was on display, especially with the opening and the ED-209's being used to wipe out the terrorists.

As for your assessment -- I fear you're more right than wrong. It will be a "Drumpf bad!" movie with Marvel-tier "comedy".

The Twitter list isn't bad, but I think they're way too optimistic. I also think with the power armour, less is more. It needs to be showcased as an ace up the sleeve rather than a regular part of the armament. I think the animated TV series did a decent job of finding that balance, I think they later got jetpacks? I know in one of the animated films it was cool how they had Rico show up at the end in a decked out power suit. That's definitely how it should be treated, but meh, it's Hollywood... it's best left alone since there's no way they're going to make anything half as entertaining as the 97 film.
