BTW guys did you know that Starship Troopers was a very subtle and ingenious deconstruction of fascism? I bet you didn't, it's so subtle only a real scholar could pick up on it (you should watch my 12 hour video essay to fully grasp it). The author was actually laughing at the likes of you! :soyjakanimeglasses:

People believe that because that cute twink Paul Verhoeven made the movie that way as he refused to even read the source material saying it was stupid, then you'll see redditors claiming the film is better :marseybigbrain:. Speaking of which, I doubt Starship Troopers will ever get a faithful adaptation due to hollywood wingcuckery.

It is really quite a bad book. I asked Ed Neumeier to tell me the story because I just couldn't read the thing. It's a very right-wing book," Verhoeven said. :marseysoylentgrin:

He could have been based had he said he didn't read because it was nerd shit, instead he came up with this :marseysoypoint:

Agreed! But I'm biased since I love the Starship Troopers movie. I tried but couldn't get into the book.

It's one of my favorite movies but all the characters were changed to be white and blonde, and the secret service literally dress up like Waffen-SS.

He did not

Best you can get is a Daily Wire adaptation that misses the point but by a lesser margin.

I'm sorry, have you, @neoconshill, ever made a movie?

Do YOU know how hard it is to make a movie?

I don't think YOU of all people should be criticizing other people's movies...

The CGI Cartoon was pretty good. Definitely not a pure adaptation, but way fricking better than Verhoven.
