I think Starship Troopers is understood well as a satire of fascism(and an awesome bug-shooty movie), while I have heard every 4th of July parade unironically blasting pro-war songs alongside born in the USA.

There’s also a first person shooter that goes from early access to release soon. I’m a huge fan

oh what! i didn't know about that one, thanks!

I've actually watched all the companion movies and tv shows-which mostly suck-but have enough ST attitude and creativity that they're still fun.

especially when the original actors show up.

Traitor of Mars was great at showing more of a power armor and a slightly less subtle message of the political problems.

I usually skip the 2nd movie when I feel like watching Starship Troopers.

did you watch those wacky TV shows too?

The actors are doing the voices for at least one of them, I think Casper Van Dien did both.

I have them on my Plex, I haven't started them beyond the Invasion movie.
