It was made as a satire to show how zany fascism is. It flopped because stupid critics thought it was actually being pro fascism.

@@wildkeith Yeah, Paul Verhoven actually wondered if putting NPH in an SS uniform, yes really, would be too obvious, but nobody got the joke.

I mean they are a propaganda machine. Some video of a scientist casually defeating a giant bug with only a few bursts of fire would give troops a false sense of hope and confidence to fight

They should’ve aimed for the nerve stem. 🤷‍♂️

Did you not hear NPH? He said, Aim for the nerve stem.”

They do actually kill them effectively later in the movie, the first battle was at night and with fresh troops. By the time they get to the brain bug cave, they're killing the warriors just like this.

TBF, he is a powerful psychic

Buenos Aires is in Argentina. Rico, Dizzy, and Carmen were all suppose to be hispanic. Don't know about Doogie Howser.

Rookies shoots the wrong parts Those who survive one battle or more shoots the stem Veterans like rico kills bugs by the dozens by himself

The first battle it takes 3-5 troops mag dumping, by the end of the movie they are doing what is depicted here. I guess the first time a bug charges you, it throws your training for a second and you panic. By the nth time, you do the right thing. If you live long enough to try again that is.

They’d be praising this movie about how satirical it is against fascism

To this day I'm still baffled. Seeing the second one, I laugh more than I should at how serious it was about what it was doing.

The animated series did it right taking the more serious route, since it did keep the intelligence and wit, but the movie sequels should have kept the same formula as the first.

Same thing happened to ToboCop. First film had a point about a dystopian corporation turning a dead cop into their product. Yeas, the action is cool, but that world is meant to be viewed as all around terrible.

​@@wildkeithTobocop is quite the typo.

awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome AWESOME! AWESOOOOOOOME!

Yeah he does like nazi-esque doesn't he.

That's Hugo Boss. The nazis had a nack for fashion.

+Eliot Barley what is the joke? can you tell me?

+Anuraag Biswas (Jeet) it's a how I met your mother reference

Eliot Barley yeah, I know, but can't recall the lines.

83%

Whenever Barney makes up a statistic he always uses 83%

That's the point. The Federation in Starship Troopers are basically a mix between Space Marines and Space Nazis.

The screenwriter or director, I can't remember which. Felt the original novel was pro fascist. I guess because only those that serve in the military are allowed to run for office or vote in the novel. So they turned a good scifi novel into hollywood satire. Sure it's funny. But it's not as good as it could have been. Also 40K was probably inspired by Starship Troopers. And 40K in term inspired Starcraft.

It's not pro-fascist. It shows fascism but doesn't endorse it, with or without Nazi uniforms.

@@Rawsilver it was the author Robert Heinlein. In the history of the Federation armed veterans groups seized control of all the national governments and had a constitutional convention that created the Federation. Civillians still had basic human rights but to participate in the political process mandatory national/military service was required as it was felt those people showed they had a genuine commitment to the betterment of the Federation

Even if it is pro fascism you people are too dense to realize that fascism is extremely viable as a form of government. Don't lie to yourselves the only way we'll ever get to space and survive to tell the tale is through hardcore authoritarianism.
