It's a Starship Troopers problem. Most people recognize it as satire and have fun with it. A few loud people don't, and end up occasionally making the whole fanbase look bad as a result.
- Vecr 3y agoI think the humans in Starship Troopers (even in the (first) movie) are the good guys. What do you expect a humanity fighting an existential war to look like exactly? Current-day Ukraine under what is pretty much martial law is not exactly a liberal utopia.
- babypuncher 3y agoMy reading of the film was that the aliens did not pose an existential threat to humanity, UCF propaganda just made it seem that way. Verhoeven draws clear parallels between Earth's military government and Nazi Germany throughout the movie.
