Okay, so my dad wrote this piece of music the year I was born and here is his recollection of composing the piece, "I was stuck until we had a house guest who started playing Beethoven and that was my 'Aha!' moment." I pressed him for more details and here is something cool, the voice over radio in the background at the very beginning , is JFK's 'ask not' inauguration speech. He explained "The point of the original movie and book was that 'in order to beat the bugs humans had to become Fascists.' There was all kinds of Nazi imagery in the movie and I thought misappropriating JFK's quote would be a subtle inside commentary. Think Man in the High Castle. But you'd have to be a true nerd to notice." It definitely hits different after living through the current state of American politics He thanks you all for digging his music and please ask questions if you have them :)
also does your dad know where to find like background score music for the show? if it still exists somewhere. I've recorded audio off the dvds music i like and inverting it to cut the voices out but it doesn't have the master effect listening to the source music on its own
Is it possible for you to ask your dad to make a clean track and have it uploaded to YT? I have been looking for a clean version for years now without any luck and so far no one has even made any cover of it yet.
In my country there was this animation block would change monthly between some cartoons, this and Clone Wars were on that list They didn't showed all of Starship Troopers and only the first 2 seasons of Clone Wars But boy did i loved Clone Wars is my favorite cartoons and i could only watch those when growing up
Our late son was one of the main motion-capture performers on the show - he had a blast doing it! Foundation Imaging was a great company that just moved a little too slowly for weekly television. With some patience - not notable in show biz - this could have been an epic long-running show.
You're son helped to influence me ma'am. I grew up loving this show and the whole starship troopers lore...Thank you to the late and the fallen. His contribution is still in my heart.
I also thank you and your son for his works. Starship Troopers inspired a great deal of my creative side, and was one of the shows in my formative teenage years that inspired me to write and create - the storytelling and intricate characters getting me hyped up every day. It wouldn't have been possible without him. Thank you.
I can say for certain that your son had a huge impact on my life ma'am. This was my FAVORITE show when I was in elementary school, which grew into a life-long love of science fiction. A passion which most certainly led to me becoming an engineer; I wanted to make all of the cool fictional tech like powered armor and mech suits a reality.
"A struggle against the common enemies of man." "A day which will live in infamy." "Ask not what your country can do for you." "A grand and global alliance... for all mankind." Man, I will remember this series until the day I die. What a time to be alive.
@@doransshield9176 It's the game I always wanted as a kid, combining ODSTs and the Roughnecks. Sadly, it's kinda mired in controversy now, and the community is on fire constantly.
@@NTAD Most people dont understand how vastly different the book is from the movies. And yeah, Starship Troopers is the progenitor of the Power Armor afaik.
@@Raquya One of the reasons I enjoy this series more than the films is because it sticks a bit closer to the source material. Hell we didn't even get Skinnies in the CG anime films. But here? We got Skinnies.
What I loved about this show is that, aside from the excellent CGI animation and how it made its own story using elements from the movie and the book (the Marauders, the drop pods, the Skinnies, etc.) was the consistent tone: - Despite the fact most people would've known the source material by then, and the show's PG rating, the show doesn't shy from showing war for _what it actually is,_ without 40K-type grimderpness or cheesy PSA's about how war is bad. We as the audience see people die, campaigns lost or marginally won, and the ruins of once-beautiful cities, leaving us with the certainty that, even if SICON wins, the conflict will leave many scars for years to come. - While it's understandable why the themes of the book and the movie were omitted (even with Verhoeven as executive producer), the show shines on its own and uses its source material with respect, making us care for the characters and the world it presents without insulting the fans or turning into blatant propaganda (I'm looking at you, Disney Star Wars!). - Even with the lack of gore, the Bugs were a constant, horrifying threat instead of mooks or icky things to shoot at. They win many times, they manipulate and/or kill some important characters, and even managed to send their Queen to Earth! - The atmosphere evoked (at least for me) feelings of melancholy and despair without being obvious or too bleak. A prediction that despite all the victories, some of those planets might not be habitable for a long time, and surely all of them are modern or long-past battlefields with many Bugs inside of them, waiting to fight another day.
That eps where Rico got trapped in a pit alone. Makes me realize that you can't just drifted alone in the space but you can also left behind in some unknown planet to die.
I too love this series. It’s one of my favorite TV shows to this day. The creatives behind this performed a triumph of CGI animation (for its time!) and story telling. Well put dude. I pray that one day I’ll find or somehow get/buy copies of the unproduced scripts for the missing episodes from the Homefront arc/campaign. I would love to hear the voice actor recordings for those episodes as well. I know that they did all the VA work and they exist somewhere. 🖤🙏❤️
Who would've thought slowed down version Beethoven's sonata 8 would sounded so fittingly epic as an opening for this show. Also the iconic speech at the beginning of this op is a nice little touch.
They showed this in the UK in the very early 2000’s loved watching this before school but had to get up ridiculously early as they would put it on early in the morning
I was lucky enough that I had the exact opposite situation here (I'm in the US btw). This was airing when I was in middle school which had a later start in the day than our elementary or high schools did. I'd have just enough time to finish watching an episode of this and then get ready for school each day.
I remember getting up extra early at 5am before school to catch this show. Early timeslot but worth it. 5:00am Starship Troopers RC and from 5:30am to 7:00am Zoids, and re runs of Captain Planet, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Good times.
If you're wondering why it stopped airing on TV they stopped at the episode where that bug shredded that guy's kidney and they actually showed the blood therefore the sensors at Fox in the sensors at Warner Brothers in kqca 58 entertainment decide to pull the show from airing on TV because the rest of his episodes went straight to DVD because how graphic it got cuz when I used to watch it I woke up every morning at 5:30 to watch it on Fox a part of their bkn lineup but in this day and age this will not fly as a kid's cartoon along with X-Men the animated series in the real adventures of Jonny quest
I remember watching every season, every episode, right here on RUclips back in 2007 Life was good. I missed this show. Power armour, orbital deployment, Pelicans... What's not to love?
Imagine... A starship trooper series like "starship troopers chronicles" with the graphics from the two great movies "starship troopers invasion" and "starship troopers traitors of mars"!!!
starship troopers needs a CGI netflix show. it could be R rated and 1000% times the visual quality of this show but hoipefully just as well written but with no rating ristrictions in mind this kind of show would be amazing to see redone or continued in the way the japanese CGI movies did i hope one day there could be more starship troopers but its owned by sony and they only care about anime
Maaaaaan, those weekday mornings before school as a child were so much more exciting with this show--one of those things you just happen to tune into and then eventually get hooked on it. Now if only getting a hold of the complete series on DVD didn't cost an arm and a leg...
The series was SO badass. It took everything great about the Verhoeven film, cut out most of the brutally-graphic violence (among other things), added in a bunch of stuff from the Heinlein novel Verhoeven skipped, and made it work. Although the production company only got through 90% of the 40 episodes that were ordered before calling it quits, they created something awesome.
I found this series thanks to my local Library which had most of them on dvd for check out. Was already a fan of the movie, I had yet to read the book and so I picked this up was instantly hooked. skip ahead some years and I now own the boxset of the whole thing and it is money well spent.
I love the intro because it reminds me of a bad part of my life, or rather the fact that I escaped. I was addicted to online poker and would watch episodes of this show on youtube in the background while losing thousands of dollars. Now this music always reminds me that I managed to get out of that.
Good god.... I remember this, i watched it when i was still a kid. This show was as gritty and hardcore as it could have been for me at the time. You woke up some great memories.
Bingewatching this was not something I regret ever doing. I'm disappointed that it ended on a cliffhanger, but this iteration of Starship troopers was one I could get behind.
i would stay up to midnight to watch this at 6 years old. shame it didnt go on longer. But ima rewatch the series right now lol. Also, 0:41 is my fav part!
Part of me agrees, and part of me worries that they'll make an absolute mess of it. Also, being from the UK, I like the unintentional cliffhanger ending which is reminiscent of The Italian Job and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Man i miss this show, i watched it as a little kid and language barriers nor shitty tv signal could stop me from enjoying it (it was dubbed and broadcast in hungarian i think) and just by chance i caught it one day after school, now years later imma rewatch and know dafuq they talkin about :)
It seemed like all the Richard Raynis-developed stuff was really enjoyable. This, Godzilla, Evolution, Men in Black... I'm surprised to see Paul Verhoeven was an executive producer on this!
I think it's hilarious how at the end when they're walking to the dropship one of the guys waves at Higgins like "Okay, you got your closing shot, camera boy, let's get outta here."
Not just Kennedy, Roosevelt and more aswell but yes a combination of various famous speeches very fitting plus the line at the end for a grand and global alliance for all mankind.
I was hooked on watching this, thanks to the plot. Think it ended on a cliffhanger of Earth in jeopardy, which was a shame. Wanted to know what happened after that, but think it got cancelled? I dunno.
Great series but the original quality just doesn't cut it nowadays, it badly needs a remastering and the series incompletion's also such a pity overall
The music and some audio stings in this opening reminds me of Starcraft. My childhood thanks this series and the original Starcraft for getting me into the grittier side of sci-fi.
I was looking at starship troopers Terran command gameplay and this blast ti the past came up in my recommendations, IT looks outdated, but I'm gonna marathon through this show like I did when I was a kid. This also looks like it could've been a great oh xbox title, what I'd give for a star ship troopers fps with a good story.
There's the 2005 Starship Troopers shooter game... but you said you wanted a good story so thats out of the picture, oh and the 2005 shooter game is pretty mediocre unless you really *REALLY* like the starship troopers film and want to shoot bugs from a first-person view.
If you can look past the lackluster animation, there's a fucking excellent show under here. We need a new series of this with a better budget and current day artstyle.
Agreed. This show was more accurate to the book than any of the movies (save for the anime) were. To this day I still consider the 2 animated movies sequels to this show rather than the live films.
My brother and I enjoyed this cartoon. The character we made fun of the most was Higgins, the journalist. We would have a laugh when he would be actively a soldier and we would say, "Hey! Higgins killed something!". Good times.

It was even cancelled before it got a proper end and then got that "end" later with some unreleased material like Clone Wars.

I think that was Rico doing that, as Johnny was put in charge of keeping Higgins alive as well as teach him basics he missed out on.
Nunca me olvide de esa intro cuando era pequeño 🔥
This series was underrated and needs more attention to it
The intro song is a bit odd, but i remember this show. It was pretty dope.
Anyone else notice that’s Kennedy talking at the beginning?
Not just Kennedy, Roosevelt and more aswell but yes a combination of various famous speeches very fitting plus the line at the end for a grand and global alliance for all mankind.
I miss this show
I was hooked on watching this, thanks to the plot. Think it ended on a cliffhanger of Earth in jeopardy, which was a shame. Wanted to know what happened after that, but think it got cancelled? I dunno.
Great series but the original quality just doesn't cut it nowadays, it badly needs a remastering and the series incompletion's also such a pity overall
The music and some audio stings in this opening reminds me of Starcraft. My childhood thanks this series and the original Starcraft for getting me into the grittier side of sci-fi.
I was looking at starship troopers Terran command gameplay and this blast ti the past came up in my recommendations, IT looks outdated, but I'm gonna marathon through this show like I did when I was a kid.
This also looks like it could've been a great oh xbox title, what I'd give for a star ship troopers fps with a good story.
There's the 2005 Starship Troopers shooter game... but you said you wanted a good story so thats out of the picture, oh and the 2005 shooter game is pretty mediocre unless you really *REALLY* like the starship troopers film and want to shoot bugs from a first-person view.
This is closer to the novel… i’ll pray until they put this on netflix, maybe with italian subtitles
I still have all of the episodes on my computer, and I'm pretty sure my dad has them on DVD

If you can look past the lackluster animation, there's a fucking excellent show under here. We need a new series of this with a better budget and current day artstyle.
Agreed. This show was more accurate to the book than any of the movies (save for the anime) were. To this day I still consider the 2 animated movies sequels to this show rather than the live films.
I hope by "current day artstyle" you just mean updated CG. If they rebooted with the artstyle cartoons have today, i would puke
@@fortressonahill5860 Yeah, current CGI was what I had in mind, something like how they did Traitor of Mars and Invasion
My brother and I enjoyed this cartoon. The character we made fun of the most was Higgins, the journalist. We would have a laugh when he would be actively a soldier and we would say, "Hey! Higgins killed something!". Good times.
I remember this
This Starship Troopers series and Spiderman TNAS are underrated gems!!!
Beethoven "Pathetique" Sonata 1st movement
I remember knowing of this, but never remembering what happened during it.
