    Who the fuck gives a shit what chuds think about a fucking movie adaptation of a videogame? Like come on people this shit literally doesn't fucking matter, what have we done to the world and movies and games when we think that a fucking movie adaption of a shitty ass videogame matters? Just don't think about it, this matters as much as the Doom movie or the mortal kombat movie from twenty years ago.

      It matters because my twitter feed (I refuse to call it X) is going to be full of assholes telling me how the bugs are obviously evil because they're ugly (and therefore deserve to be genocided) replying to me whenever I try to crack jokes with my dirtbag lefty friends about how all these people who watched the movie and didn't "get it" like me (and my dirtbag lefty friends who totally exist) are the guy in this picture and that irritates me a lot

        dude im sorry to have to tell you this, but it is time to stop going on twitter. if they hadn't introduced that shitty algorithm of theirs you wouldn't need to see any posts of any chuds and no chud/chud bots would comment on your posts. i liked twitter too, but ive stopped going there after realizing that if i stayed i'd at some point write some comment on some zionist assholes post that would later be used in court against me.

          I thought I was clearly being sarcastic, but I guess not- I don't have a twitter account.

          Anyway, my sincere position is that I'm not taking it all that seriously, that yes in the grand scheme of things this isn't important relative to a lot of other stuff, but also that I was under the impression that this was a website were we could commiserate and laugh at absurdity's like the right taking Verhoeven's Starship Troopers (or the videogame Helldivers) at face value.

      There are good ways to pull it off but I'm not confident this will be anything but gamer slop.

      My controversial take is that if it took only a movie to make someone into a chud,they were always going to be a chud

    God, can't fuckin w8 for the left to think it's brilliant satire that shows the culmination of our modern policies, the right to think it's a brilliant depiction of an ideal world, and everyone to hate it because it's a video game movie.

    I'd watch it.

    could have some fun with it I guess, randomly kill off characters and replace them with a totally different actor, but it's played as if nothing even happened to that character

    Will the movie be called 'Helldivers' or 'Helldiver's 2'? because if it's the second one things will get really confusing

      I want it to be called, "the pursuit of liberty and freedom, a helldivers story"

        That makes it sound like a star wars movie from the perspective of the empire. Which they might as well do since everyone will miss the point anyway

    It should be a beat for beat Starship Troopers (1997) copy, maybe with some of the names of things changed. Every line exactly the same. Dig up the OG actors and do not mention how old they look in boot camp.

    We got some good slop with Morbius, Madame Web and Kraven

    What poorly written/acted/edited scene do you think will take off of this?

    Personally, I'm betting on some horrendous fascist slogan of Super Earth to take off because someone yells it during a big moment

      I’m willing to hold out the benefit of the doubt until I see a confirmed director and staff list but I’m not getting my hopes up
