>>38526No, I was talking about how shit starship troopers the movie and the video game starship troopers extermination are in comparison to the book.
The original book series straight up defined nearly every sci fi trope. Power armour, space marines, drop pods, laser weapons, alien empires, humanity as a space faring empire, handheld nuclear weapons, and so much more. It had its own vibe created solely by McCarthyism that lacked subtlety and felt fucking cool. The bugs are both a communist and legitimate threat. Something I haven’t seen in ages in other anti-socialist anti-communist propaganda. Coincidentally, the bugs are fucking cool. They have lasers man, lasers.
