So I was watching an ASMR video based on Helldivers 2 and as it goes on, I'm gradually going, "Wait a minute, this sounds like fascistic, imperialist stuff." Then it starts reminding me of Starship Troopers.
When it's done, I look up the game and sure enough, there are articles saying it's heavily influenced by Starship Troopers. I've never actually watched Starship Troopers or read the book, nor have I played Helldivers, but I guess I picked up enough in passing about it and the themes aren't exactly subtle.
The books were unironic fascist propaganda by a "libertarian" who idolized the military.
The movie was made by a guy who read the book, clocked it for what it was, and decided to make fun of its ideology instead.
Helldivers is a much less subtle mockery of the same ideas.
Very based thing to do. Did the writer sued the director?
Heinlein was dead by the time the movie was made. But he likely would've hated it lol.
Oh, interesting.
