IN THE EMPEROR'S NAME

Is desire to know more a heresy?

What a movie that was.
It pained me to see the main actor having to do stuff like being Roasted in place of Captain America for Screen Junkies.

>have air superiority, don't use it at all
>spaceships can't move out of the way of those relatively slow moving plasma shots and/or counterbattery those big slow moving plasma bugs
>no armored vehicles ever
Not even the Imperial Guardsmen are this wasteful with their dudes.

Did they improve in the other movies? I only watched the first one and remember a mind control plot about the second one.

Having seen Starship Troopers 3 most recently, it's the only one I remember fairly clearly. Basically, they're investigating a thing with a confirmed psychic woman whose powers aren't really anything to write home about on board, only to find out that, hey, they have smaller brain bugs now that look like hellish dragonflies and can live inside your body in place of the back of your skull and spinal column and are indistinguishable from you unless they leave your body because they know everything you did; they're brain bugs, they gain your knowledge by eating your brain.

She finds out about this because, surprise-surprise, she's pregnant, and female psychics get a psychic boost when they're knocked up. Long story short, they take evidence that the higher-ups may have been replaced by these untraceable, hellish new brain bugs back to Earth, and it gets publicized... and then summarily swept under the rug to prevent the spread of internal panic. The ending scene is a military ranker, the really loud one that's always around the recruitment office, looking at main character girl's baby as she's holding it during one of her visits to a friend and saying, "More meat for the grinder," in a really creepy tone that hints that he may be a bug in human skin.

I'm giving it more credit than it deserves. It's not as great as it sounds.

The stupidity is deliberate. Remember this movie is a colossal satire of War Movies, Militarism, America Fuck Yeah and all of that.

>>50010105
Or maybe this was something else? I'm googling it, but I'm not seeing anything familiar. It's literally been several years.

>>50010113
I thought that was Starship Troopers 2?

>>50010152
Probably was. Apparently Starship Troopers 3 was about some kind of giant mech suits called Marauders. Which I think - heavy emphasis on, "think" - were also in the CG cartoon series? This was all years ago for me, remember.

Like anon said you're speaking about Starship Troopers 2. I wateched it again some weeks ago, in fact in the end the pregnant trooper had to escape because the outpost was overrun by bugs. With the help of a former officier she killed her general before he can be evacuated because he was infested as well.

The differences between the movie and the book is so considerable, that they can't even be considered the same thing.

Despite that, I love the movie just as much as I enjoyed the Book

>>50010597
Well the director didthrow the book away after reading a few chapters because he found it boring.

I thought it was because he thought it was fascist propaganda?

>>50009958
No, but be thankful for your blessed ignorance, which I shall help you preserve.


Now, affix bayonets

>fascist propaganda?

I wouldn't go that far, but the book did seem like a treatise on Heinlein's political ideas. For it being written in 59, he did seem to predict a lot of stuff down the road, like school shootings

>>50010659
>>50010735
No excuse.

>>50010914
Anyone that characterizes Starship Troopers as indicative of Heinlein's political believes doesn't actually know what Heinlein believed, politically. He also wrote Stranger in a Strange Land, which is the political and cultural opposite of Starship Troopers, just a few years later. He may have become more politically conservative later in life (he would actually become much more of a a libertarian), but in his youth, he was an Upton Sinclair socialist.

Which I don't

>>50010994
Then don't characterize Starship Troopers as indicative of Heinlein's political beliefs.

Actual battlesuits with closed/sealed helmets. Can't even see their faces, just unit markings.

Hollywood would never do it, though.

Number 3 is the one where they pray the bugs away IIRC.
