It was originally two movies, one I, Robot and another one about a robot
revolution with lots of cool fights and action. They got the second one
and put Susan Calvin and I, Robot on as names, made reference to the 3
Laws, and released it. Has nothing to do with Asimov at all, not even
'inspired by.'
Seeing as Asimov wrote I, Robot in *reaction* to the plethora of "robots
are going to take over and enslave/kill us" stories at the time...
It has _less_ to do with I, Robot than the Starship Troopers movie had to
do with the book.
[ob-topic] Now, if a myth got rewritten (in as many sources as possible, of course) before a group got to heroquest it, what's going to happen to things? You'd have to go heroquesting for the true story - and if that was also different to what you knew, where are you? Reality hacking by 'social engineering' and sneaky document substitution... Who'd do a thing like that??
