Child soldiers? Live and die for the empire, they’re doing their part :im-doing-my-part:
Needless violence for the sake of violence? Hell yeah brother that’s the good shit :le-pol-face:
it doesn’t work. Anyone with fascist potential will look at whatever “Genocide Bad Guy The Metaphor Is Literally Spelled Out For You Armada” and think they’re fucking sick. You’re giving the fascists material.
IMO, if you really want to satirize fascism, hit them where it hurts: they are fucking incompetent buffoons who act like they’re god’s chosen race because they have no positive qualities besides the promised intrinsic ones.
Agreed on everything else but this more than anything.
Every human in the movie is HOT AS FUCK. Literally everyone. Even the bald middle aged commander (?). Like, the only conclusion the audience can reach at that point is 'if fascism bad I don't wanna be ugly'.
i feel like the movie exists for in-group moviegoers to laugh at people 'not getting it' when the actual film is fighting the 'correct' interpretation
