    Starship Troopers: Invasion. Back in 2012 when a Japanese Studio did a CGI take on the film franchise. First of two films animated in Japan, with the second being Traitor of Mars.

    Yeah the original film was meant to display the Terran Federation as a Fascist Utopia or as others (and meeee) have stated, an anti-Star Trek style Utopia. But a lot of the fascist overtones are stylish due to it being satire and not of substance. There are scenes which remind a viewer of...

    They're similar but the teacher in Starship Troopers refers to the dissected bugs as the Arkellian Sand Beetle and then brings up the 'Arachnids' as a separate species as an example of Bug superiority. The bugs that drag around the Brain Bug are called 'Chariot Bugs' which in all honestly look...

    Taking an "apolitical" stance regarding military events is a pretty common thing of course. It was actually a theme of Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down in how apolitical a lot of the soldiers were and emphasizing the brotherhood/fraternity amongst those serving together. And it's a pretty common...

    Roughnecks is pretty high quality for Western Kids Animation. I'd put it on a similar level to like Exo-Squad or the like. If it had more time to be seasoned, it'd be top tier. The show was good but it was obviously stripped down of much of the political/social commentary that you see in the...

    Archcast did a great video takedown of some nitwit journalists trying to dissemble Starship Troopers. This one comes from the geniuses at some website called The Ringer. https://www.theringer.com/movies/2022/11/7/23443711/starship-troopers-movie-25th-anniversary-cult-classic Here's one of...

    "Beat feet troopers!" I think that the Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles was one of those wondrous cartoons that appealed to juvenile teenagers and the like who didn't want their Western cartoons too rounded at the edges and still not too stupid. It was literally young adult military...

    Careful. I just realized its topics like these covering its return to Netflix that have created a bit of Media Buzz about Starship Troopers now. The Verge, Screen Rant (I had no idea they did actual articles, I just know them for their Movie Pitch comedy videos) Guardian and even the f'ing New...

    Yeah when this film came out it was either to triggered or simply shallow negative reviews, the former for people who missed the point and the latter for thinking Starship Troopers is somehow exceptionally worse then Total Recall or Robocop. While personally I think those other two Verhoeven...

    I dunno. It does feel like an anti-Trek Utopia. The fact he chose beautiful people to do fun things in a 'utopian' society while you get these random bits of Nazi imagery, criminals being executed within 24 hours and scenes of kids stomping cockroaches to the cheering of their Teacher is fairly...

    https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/327839/starship-troopers-hits-netflix-in-june/ This article is from May... but you get the idea. Starship Troopers, one of the finest fascistic films to ever grace the silver screen is now hosted on Netflix. So while Netflix's library of old crap might be...
