What do you prefer: Lewis OR Madigan??

[Sgt. Reed]

To quote Robo1 "Can I have them both?!"
If I had to jump in sack with one of em, I couldn't decide. Id take both even if I had to pay more than a dollar!

But seriously, I prefer Lewis because Madigan kind of dresses like a trucker
and she's too much of a TV character. You know, lame jokes and shit..

I think Lewis had a bit more attitude.

Ann Lewis will always be the best part Nancy Allen ever played, even Peter Weller thought so! Nancy's dad was a cop in real life and I think it helped her role turn out great!
Madigan was good for the tv show, but once she became a Detective, she and Murphy seemed to do there own thing at times. Plus, with the exception of Murphy being reborn as Robocop, Lewis was most likely the only cop to get shot up by Clarence and live to talk about it!!

It depends...besides R1, Lewis didn't really do much, unlike Madigan who handled cases on her own in The Series...If it was just R1, it's a tie for me, if it was just R2 and R3 - Madigan.

Scarlett Johansson as the new lewis, or female lead for me. Then I may like Lewis in all her downfalls.

But in general it is hard for me to like the lewis character because she is what she is. But I don't know enough about the series to pick the other girl. So I pick..... Death for both of them and bring in Scarlett. I like all of HER characters.

Wow, annmurphy brought up an oldie! But a goodie! This is one I've never commented on...

Lewis, while Murphy's partner before his death, was (God strike me down now) almost useless. Okay, she rescued him from the parking garage, and uttered the words "murphy, it's you".

But (I know I'm going off topic a little bit, but bare with me, I have a point) Even without Lewis showing up and saying anything to Robo, He would still have found out who he was. Let's not forget that the dream was the first glitch in the RoboCop operating system. That was the catalyst for his quest, Lewis just kind of stumbled along and broke his stride.

"But Sean, what about the parking garage?" Yes, I'm getting to that. Now, had Lewis have not ran into Robo and called him by name, chances are good that the two were meant to run into each other again in their present courses. Lewis had witnessed Robo spinning the gun before the dream even happened. Thus planting the small seed of knowledge that RoboCop was Alex Murphy. Therefor, She'd still be just another trigger in Robo regaining some of his memory. And thusly, making it to the parking garage just in time to save Robo from being turned into swiss cheese.

Madigan, on the other hand, was a common foot soldier who wanted to be more. She wanted to be a detective. In the Series Pilot, Madigan was "going up for detective", So she did her homework. Meaning research, on RoboCop, and discovered that he was Alex Murphy. She didn't have the close relationship (starting out anyways) that Lewis had. Madigan didn't know Robo AS Murphy.

Now, while Madigan was a good enough character in the Series, she's less than amazing when it comes to delivering the kind of Balls Lewis had throughout the Franchise. Madigan always seemed to force how much of a badass she WANTED to be. Brilliant detective or not, Madigan doesn't really add up to being the best Robo-partner ever.

Ok, I'm one of those guys that have read all the Marvel Comics issues, and have found that even in the comic, Lewis still kicks more ass than Madigan could ever dream to kick.

Summation: I'm going with Lewis all the way. Madigan, while a good character for a shit-based series, just doesn't add up.

Lewis is the best Partner Robo/Murphy ever had, or will ever have. (Unless Mick Turner turns out to be Lewis' male equivelent).

I like 'em both, though I'd probably give the edge to Lewis overall. Madigan worked alright in the Series, but wasn't original - Indeed, she's mostly the Lewis character in a different wrapper.

Like Sean said, character-wise, one could say Madigan posed more on-screen significance than Lewis, but she did lack actual strength in her character. She never had the same attitude or stoutness that Lewis had, Though that was due to the show itself more than anything.

Lewis of course was the original partner, and who helped Robo find himself again. Lewis was the important next domino to fall in-line with Robo discovering Murphy, and though her role was downplayed significantly in the sequels, she still remained a fairly important and memorable character to support Robo.

That said, I like Demise's thinking, though I'm not entirely sure I'd like to see Scarlett as a Lewis replacement. But her for another leading female character, that would be alright.

Lewis, hands-down. Madigan was based on her in the first place, and was a knock-off. The original gets the vote from me. Nancy Allen was one of the few who could play a tough female character and still be hot doing it.

I always thought the writers did a good job at least in playing off the latent sexual tension between Lewis and Murphy, and we all know IT WAS THERE but they didn't go down the typical route and have Lewis going obviously goo-goo gaga over him. I think the relationship they had and what Lewis did for Murphy, being his emotional anchor (and even possibly vice-versa), was much more intimate and effective. They both loved each other, I think that came across in all three movies in subtle hints in how one was highly-protective of the other.

Murphy and Lewis' last scene together summed that unspoken love aspect of their partnership beautifully. When Lewis managed to get out "Murphy..." just before her passing, it's not much of a stretch to guess what she meant to follow that up with.

The problem with Lewis is that she lost her reason for existing after RoboCop 1. While the character was there in the two sequels it served little purpose other than having a established character there. She didn't evolve and could have as easily been replaced by someone else.

In the series Madigan got more to do and evolved in some areas, she got promoted, had drug problems, almost got crippled for life etc.. stuff that made the character grow. Lewis got very little of that and after 3 movies we know pretty much nothing.

Also, Madigan is prettier......
