Oh, I didn't mean the book. Sorry about that; didn't mean to seem aggressive. It was the movie I was talking about.I haven't read it in a while, okay?Apart from the numerous references to the Nazis, particularly in costumes, live executions, soldiers handing out guns and bullets to children, mandatory classes where the teacher tells you about how democracy failed and war veterans overthrew the government and created a society where you only get the right to vote if you serve in the military, the media under reporting the massive casualties they suffer, the war against the bugs being clearly an expansionistic thing, destroying one of their own cities with an asteroid to incite military fervor (because there is no way that the bugs, no matter how smart, could shoot an asteroid out of orbit in their own star system halfway across the galaxy with enough accuracy to hit Earth), child soldiers, trying to Zerg rush the Zerg equivalents, not much really.I just saw Starship Troopers the movie.What would give you that impression?
Wow they're totally not idiots ruled by a fascist government.
I'll probably enter this with my Mag (warframe. A protoss sentry would make poor interaction...). Details soon as I'm on my phone.Aww, c'mon! A Protoss would be fun to interact with!
It's both really. The officer's uniforms are basically lifted straight out of Hitler's laundromat.I always thought the original was 100% obvious satire and was quite surprised when I found out it is not. Haven't seen the sequels I think.It is satire. To non-US citizens, it was even a satire of the US in particular (in the US people like to believe it's about nazi's, not about them). Where did you learn it's not?
Lived my entire life in the U.S., and I saw far more in common with my own country in that movie that with what I know of Nazi GermanyI was also like 15 when I saw it. I'd probably pick up on a lot more if I saw it again.
Yeah, besides the horrible implications of everything in the movie, Micheal Ironside made that movie badass.No it's not. The original is awesome, and there's a special place in hell for everyone who worked on any of the sequels.I just saw Starship Troopers the movie.The sequel is much better.
Wow they're totally not idiots ruled by a fascist government.
((Yay!!! WOOOO!!!! I am rotting ninja! D:<))

Not so sure. How much of what the Zerg do is technology based? 'toss? X-Com wins in the end.PROTOSS tech?
