OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
RoboCop Makes the Police Body Corporate Property
The body horror is institutional. Murphy’s resurrection turns policing, labor, branding, memory, and privatized violence into one corporate product.
Why it works
The transformation and directive logic make the body a contract. Action scenes matter because they reveal who owns movement, memory, and authority.
