why don't they just make a video game if they aren't going to even bother trying

I notice they all have Elsa Disney princess faces, they don't emote at all to retain their beauty

Will this movie have nudity too?

Good job, Sony.

>>93967884
HA NO they tripped all the Satire that Verhoeven used. Now it's just the book set in the same universe as the first movie and invasion

>>93967922
The book had like five pages of action. The rest was just a pre-show newsreel propaganda story set in space, with bugs instead of communist Chinese.

Forever War movie when?

>>93967956
But the book had power armours that can launch nuked and did orbital drops.

>>93967479
I am not sure what to think about it, it looks nice except when they focus on the face of people.

>>93970838
Given how SnK occasionally manages to feel a lot like Starship Trooperers, I think the naming of that character was a deliberate nod.

Childhood is when you idolize the Mobile Infantry
Adulthood is when you realize that klendathu was right

>>93971336
How does that even make sense? Klendathu's a planet, not even a sentient one. And it's people are named as pseudo-arachnid, or colloquially referred to as bugs.

It's a planet anon. If you're thinking of the giant ass bug in Marauder, that was on planet OM-1 and it wasn't given a name.

>>93972376
Was Marauder any good?
I only ever watched the first and second movie.

>>93972356
>>93972376
if you accept marauder as cannon there was a scene where they discussed that klendathu might be a giant bug planet It was also discussed as a possibility in the animated series before it got axed

>>93972421
Isn't Marauder basically the prequel to the first animated movie, since the power armor appears for the first time there?

>>93972472
no because rico is already a col. in the movie

>>93972514
So what would the order be?
Figured I might as well watch the movies again before the new one.

>>93972544

>>93972596

Johnny was a Col. in Marauder, yeah. But he's a General in Invasion and Traitor.

>>93972667
It's either that or he's having PTSD of all the years fighting, which might fit since something must have happened since him being on Mars is actually him being demoted.

>>93972421
Wasn't Klendathu but a different planet called OM-1, and they destroyed it with a planet buster.

Marauder was pretty fun to watch despite being on a low budget. If you liked the humor of the first film 3 is extra zany.

>>93972871
The Sky Marshall called it "the Brain of Brains", though there could be others (maybe regular Brains evolve into that over time).

Whatever happened to the powerful brass section? Now it's all woodwinds and strings

why the fuck do they melee combat with this tech Level, just sit out near pluto or whatever and throw a few relativistic coke can at bug area end off the horde, then maybe send mop up crews.

and by mop up crew I mean rail canoos in space remote controlled or just iron rods. Fuck drone with ak 47's could do a better job, and cost a lot less and you could probally voneum probe them from various asteroids materials.

Again end off bugs....

hell you could probally make a bug specific virus at this point or nano control their brains nd have them fight each other

>there are people who don't realize that Heinlein seeded the novel with subtle hints (and some not so subtle ones) that history is wrong

Heinlein was an arch-libertarian, whose ideal protagonist is Lazarus Long and who really disliked the government and ideals expressed in Starship Troopers EXCEPT for the principles of Man Strength.

The distortion of history in Starship Troopers itself is subtle in some bits and blatant in others. For example, Dubois' lecture regarding why there has never been an uprising against their government.

Heinlein was cheeki as fuck.

>tfw you realize in 2017 there are 4 movies that sequel the events of the original Starship Troopers.

>>93972742
No, that's the Forever War. The people you quoted were talking about Starship Troopers.

>>93975429
Because it talks a lot about civil service, leadership, and the doctrine that the army should follow in how it trains its soldiers.

For a long time, armies relied on poorly trained and poorly equipped conscripts - an example of which would be the WW2 'GI' or 'General Issue.' Draft some farmboy from Nebraska, give him a gun and train him to use it, then slap him on the butt and send him to France. There's your GI.

But Starship Troopers argued a different approach. The idea of an army composed entirely of elite well trained volunteers using advanced technology and valuing the life of every squadmember. There's a debate in the book on whether to leave a soldier behind, and the book reasons it is immoral due to the suffering and loss of intel undergone during torture. Better a man be killed than taken prisoner, and better a hundred men die to rescue one POW than let that POW remain in bondage.

Yeah, it's science fiction about smashing a bunch of bugs with power armor, but it gave the US Army one hell of a goal. Our current military doctrine IS Starship Troopers. No conscripts, all volunteers, and highly mobile through the use of technology and training. It certainly has its downsides - expensive, for one - but it probably helped us win the Cold War and why your draft application is pretty much never going to be used.

Think of it like Animal Farm, but for the US Army.
