Blah blah Avatar, 3D sucks blue cat people DAE no cultural impact?? Can you remember any character names??

but seriously it was bold as fuck for someone like James Cameron to make something so blatantly anti-US-military at a time when literally the entirety of Hollywood was united in jerking off American imperialism. It was not the least bit subtle and that makes it all the more impressive that Cameron was able to make a pointed takedown of Iraq-era militarism on such a scale.

    all but stating out loud humans started the war

    deliberate fascist propaganda about how weak and stupid the enemy is

    countless lives lost to achieve a relatively minor victory

    Americans: "Hahaha, it's afraid!"

      One of my favorite parts about Starship Troopers is that the movie starts chronologically after the ending, showing people dying horrifically. Even when the movie ends on a relative high note, it outright tells you (via the beginning) that it doesn't matter and everyone's fucked.
