Helldivers 2 is definitely helping on that front

@@joeslickback Helldivers 2 *is* that front

I literally just commented something similar to this.. You guys wanna fight for super earth 😂

Yeah, 2024, Helldivers 2. People know

Now that's commitment.

Interesting.

this review had me in tears

@@tjswc1458 it is if your name is Sean Connery

I find the fact that they're holding a live fire exercise in the middle of the parade deck to be beyond ridiculous.. and not a single PT belt in sight. I think it really highlights the grimdark aspect of the film; in-universe, soldiers are disposable, given weapons with no standard sights, armor thats just for decoration.. infantry really is a meat grinder. Imperial Guard anyone..?

Wouaaah never thought of it

@@mrblack5145 na imperial guard is still worse though the Bugs would still work in that universe

@@mrblack5145 Well the books gave the troops power armor, but that would have been really expensive and difficult to put in for all the troops so they scrapped that idea until the animated (cg) sequels (the ones after the live action sequels).

@@Minecraftian2345432 I mean it’s not like that armour did any better in terms of stopping you from being ripped apart by the bugs. I suppose the ability to hold more ammunition and the fact that it could be sealed to allow for function in zero atmosphere environments was a bit of a bonus.

Blade Runner Tron Flash Gordon Krull The Thing Buckaroo Banzai Dune Labyrinth Willow Lifeforce Highlander and many others "underperformed" at the box office and now they're regarded as cult classics. Even Howard the Duck! VHS and DVD sales make all the difference.

@@matthewstoneback9 willow made 137 million against a 30 million budget.

$35 million. And yes, it turned a profit. So did Tron. But with a domestic gross of just $57 million, It was still regarded as a box office disappointment.

@@matthewstoneback9 that sounds idiotic to me but I’m not in the movie biz so 🤷🏿‍♂️

@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 there is the initial budget but on top of that you have to count in the huuuuge PR and marketing costs which are not included in the budget, to even a slightly higher domestic gross could result in a zero net deal in the end...

actually the armor was used throughout all of lost galaxy along with the armor being used in firefly

@@zaccarpenter621 Ah I just remember it in the first episode as I didn't watch the whole season.

In a way, it's actually pretty disappointing that it holds up so well, because it just shows how little effort is put into newer productions by comparison.....

That's probably because the majority of the film were made using practical effects. It's indeed impressive though

Never forget....

this could easily be the best day of the life of everyone. nice man.

Not even close, son.

This was one of the first movies I saw in theatres on my own. Back when they let 14 year old boys into r rated movies with tits without batting an eye. I miss the 90's.

Amazing I also skipped school to go see this movie here in France, I was SO hyped. Will never forget that day.

Wow.... What a... Great... Life.. Hah The guy that said that this could "easily be the best day for everybody" Lmao uhhhh no. If your idea of the best day ever is playing video games, then you really need to rethink life and actually go do some cool shit. Lolol. Go to a music festival or something.

I mean it's pretty on the nose if you ask me.

Doug Walker?!? Failing to pick up on actually quite obvious visual storytelling elements?!? Get out!!!

@@chukyuniqul I mean it is. The whole movie is incredibly clear and unambiguous about what it's doing. So this whole "Is it secretly a satire of fascism and authoritarian hyper-militarized societies?" premise for the review is unintentionally hilarious. There's nothing secret about it whatsoever. It literally puts the senior officers in SS coats for crying out loud. The motivation for the invasion is an asteroid supposedly being intentionally "launched" from the complete opposite side of the galaxy - thousands and thousands of light years away - by a race of insects that, while intelligent, have no technology or space travel abilities whatsoever. Which everyone just accepts despite the fact that it obviously makes no sense at all, and is impossible, and the invasion was clearly being prepped BEFORE the arbitrary cassus belli came along. The co-ed showers aren't progressive gender equality, it's just that a society like this wouldn't really care one way or the other since the infantry are just (proudly!) fodder for the meat grinder anyway. And the guy with the whip? He was TRAINED for that, Doug! Not that they "found and hired a whippist"! It's the military! *sigh*

@@nataliereed4238 thing is, nc ain't alone in this. It's kinda veerhoven's deal, to subtly parody shit so well that you can't tell it's parody at first. Also I just love the co-ed showers for gifting us with the story on how veerhove n and his lead visuals guy or summin showed up naked to film it too.

@@nataliereed4238 look, you can't claim they have no form of space travel when it is clearly shown in this movie that they have colonized multiple planets in their solar system.

@ste men Nah, It's from the book. Infantrymen were fired out of cannons Into the field in power armor, and chuck around tacnukes . all in the first chapter.( I think. it's been 2 years.)

​@ste men Rocket Propelled Grenade?

You mean RPN (Rocket Propelled Nuke)

@@caleblucas3006 Yes, that is correct. It was mentioned that depending on the mission, 3 tactical nukes were issuable ordnance to troopers. Otherwise, it would be conventional missile weapons. The book opened with a raid against a Skinnie city. People who read just enough of the book to try to use specific examples against it use the nuking of skinnies as a sign of "militaristic expansionism" or some such nonsense, and totally skip over the fact that the Skinnies were co-belligerents of the pseudo-arachnids and together they started the war against humanity.

I mean even in the movie they are called nukes

SgtSabotage Well, believe it or not, in Germany this film was banned till July 2017 because the "Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons" misinterpreted it completely.

Point 3 is even more hilarious in hindsight considering that the source material played its premise completely straight. If Heinlein saw this movie he would have lost his sh*t

@@jasoethesentienteyeshapedg4847 Haha dark-matter [REDACTED] goes [REDACTED]

I've not read it, but I heard the book was straight up militarily propaganda- basically everything this movie is satirising.

@@yortlebluzzgubbly3871 The opposite, the book was actually a lot deeper, and is a good commentary on the future of liberal ideas. It even predicted the collapse of democracy, and offered a libertarian dream state. The point of military service was actually a larger civil service program that happened to be militaristic only because they were at war. People completed the civil service program to earn the right to vote, which was supposed to be statement on the problem of universal franchise. The book even toys with the idea on why they would have to select fewer people to vote, and its conclusion was that only people willing to sacrifice time and life towards society were meant to make policy decisions, because unlike intelligence or charisma it displays a form of virtue towards wanting to serve society and the system. You can disagree with the outcome, but a lot of the steps preceding that system were very prescient, showing the problems of all the other alternative outcomes considered. Universal suffrage led to a Clockwork Orange style dystopia, the Revolt of The Scientists (basically a meritocracy of only the intelligent being in political power) was short-lived because they were too self-serving, and regression into despotism couldn't protect human rights. The director of the movie famously said he didn't even read the book, and someone tried to summarize a part of it for him so he could decide to make the tone a joke on propaganda. The problem is, he was so honest in its portrayal that you can even notice that it's actually terrible propaganda, because it's too accurate from the novel. We can see where the libertarian paradise shines through, in news stories where the reporter is killed by aliens (shockingly honest where any controlled propaganda would never show the details of a defeat), to arguments about the potential humanity or at least intelligence about the bugs (where one character from a talk show even uses the "I'm offended!" statement of more modern sociopolitics just to ignore the possibility). The thing is, the bugs attacked without warning a peaceful colony on Klendathu, and then did a surprise strike on Earth, which is where we see the counterattack beginning to form, which is why the Fleet didn't even know how to safely navigate to Klendathu in the movie. The news stories showed the attack, and instead of whipping people into a fury via a Hitler-esque speech by the military commander, the military commander is publicly sacked (never would happen in propaganda where they would pretend that it never happened and no one made mistakes) and the replacement shows that the military was accountable to the citizens by promising their full efforts. That's actually what makes the movie cool, is because the style is very pronounced, but if you dissected it like anyone would dissect propaganda, it would actually show that the reality within was more reasonable than the tone would make it seem.

@@afelias That sounds like a terrible system. I don't entirely disagree with the idea of a civil service program to earn the right to vote (there obviously should be exceptions, like if you work a full time job or volunteer to homeless shelters or whatever), but the government should never include military service as part of this. I'd find it pretty fucked up to have serve in a government that is willing to throw my life away, and I wouldn't want to die for a government I don't have faith in.

@@accomplisheddiplomat4091 In the book, the Mobile Infantry is not the cannon-fodder troops we see in the movie. The book shows them off as Special Forces, clad in power armor described as "iron gorillas". If you were MI in the book, you were a massive badass. Then again, the book only have 1 fight scene. It was mainly a sci-fi story to let the writer share his political opinion after a failed political run.

I thought of that as a propaganda scene that took advantage of a natural disaster. The asteroid came from the solar system but they blamed the bugs for it.

There was an animated Starship Troopers for a couple of years that explains the bugs are definitely responsible for asteroid attacks, but never explains how they move the asteroids across the galaxy at faster than light speeds. The Starship Trooper "world" essentially has the entire Milky Way galaxy about the size of the solar system.

Maybe it is intentionally made a bit ambiguous in the first movie. And that the asteroid actually came from Klendathu got made canon by whatever hacks created the remaining entrances in this franchise, because they took everything at face value. The human ships are able to travel a lot faster than light though with some kind of warp engine I presume. Maybe the bugs can replicate a similar way of travelling biologically, warping and folding the space somehow. I haven't read the book and I don't know if there occurs a weaponized astroid and how this is explained.

The Arachnids don't need asteroids in the book. They are a legitimate space faring species in their own right, with technology rivaling humanity.

Goddamn Stargate using bugs!

TheKingOfLimb5 It should be noted that they usally backlog their videos. Otherwise how would they have snippets of different episodes in their intro before the episodes they came from even aired? My point is any work you see for this season of NC is likely already covered before the controversy hit. It's the next season that your comment will be more fitting towards.

The videos were recorded prior to the controversy and it's been kinda confirmed that after a week of the controversy really hitting, Doug backed out of Channel Awesome, writing on all his social media that he past-tense worked for Channel Awesome.

This was recorded weeks if not months ago

I agree. I've always been a fan of NC.

That was beautifully said

Mike's* nc

Same here

Bout dang time i see something like this

Hopefully the Walkers can recover from the controversies and start over on a different channel. Channel Awesome is a sinking ship right now though.

The Walkers weren't really blamed for anything in the document. It would be easily within the realm of possibility for them to start over.

Dude this movie satirizes totalitarian propaganda - like the nazi or soviet movies. (which the author himself mentions). Just watch some of them to understand what the author was trying to communicate. (won't be a pleasant experience, tho) The arguments you bring up are based on your worldview and the ability of your pattern-seeking brain to draw connections.

That is extreme levels of reaching.

The asteroid hits precisely Buenos Aires, a center of opposition to the earth government (shown by the antimilitary position of Rico's parents). It is no rogue asteroid, and it is certainly not sent halfway across the universe by the bugs, it is sent by the earth government. They are killing two birds with one very big stone: rallying everyone against the bugs by pretending they sent it, and destroying a center of opposition on earth.

Well at least he got more of his flesh out.

AKDARIUS Yeah but A LOT of people didnt get that it was an Anti war propaganda, in fact many actually think that is PRO WAR (talking about missing the point)

The book is pro military. So if we want to, we can ignore the stupid director and see it as the true creative genius, the author, meant for us to see it.

Levon Gevorgyan Stupid director? The guy that made FREAKING ROBOCOP!!?? Ok sure im gonna take your suggestion and ignore your comment and pretend that you meant the opposite. Now the movie and the book are Obviously two different things, dont mix them, if you want something pro war read the book, if you want something anti war watch the movie, as simple as that

The director isn't stupid but purposely choose to misrepresent the book because he personally didn't agree with the government type portrayed by the book.(which isn't fascism it's a hierarchical meritocracy)

@Ironmaster64 I can see why people miss the antiwar parts of it, if you know the book then its a total slap in the face, but if you don't you have a kid who loses his home to an (as far as we know) unprovoked attack and he and his buddies are forged through death and battle into a weird band of brothers. While it does portray the military leadership as utterly incompetent and the wartime propaganda is pretty blatant, you can't fault people for missing the artist's intended message and besides even in prowar movies you still usually have at least a few bumbling superior officers.

yea Rico could've quit and not dealt with the consequences.

@SCHOOL SHOOTER Actually, the citizenship in this universe is earned through "Federal service", and it is not JUST the military. There are various jobs that you do that are of use to the state but require a level of self-sacrifice and danger. Things included are also mining or gear testing. It is well described in the book. After the great war that almost destroyed the Earth, war veterans rose up and cleaned up the corrupt political systems that led to the pointless war in the first place. Now, if you want do have a say in what happens in a country, you need to serve that country. You need to put the benefit of all before yourself, that is why those potentially harmful jobs (like miner or soldier) are the ways you earn citizenship. Because if you don't show the required level of selfless care for the community, you are not allowed to make decisions for it. There is a deep concept of it in the book - that is the reason why the author was considered fascist in his time and why the film decided to go more on the parody trail than the actual book. Because, the core political ideas the author portrayed in the book actually make you think (if you are smart enough) about different concepts of governance and who has the right to actually make decisions. Everyone? Then by the law of chance you get many idiots voting. The smartest ones? They usually make decisions based on raw numbers and no empathy which is not a good way to govern. The film touches a bit on it all and if you watch it as only a parody, you ain't gonna notice it. It wouldn't even occur to some modern snowflakes. But there is some of it on the film. Book? It is full of it. The whole concept of sacrifice and service and benefits it gives you are maybe the prime theme of the book, along with general war, which, while secondary, is important. The best book to go with "Starship troopers" is, IMHO, "The Forever War". While Starship troopers touches a bit on the war as a whole (reasons, conduct, effect on people) it focuses mostly on the ethics of the society it is developing in, while Forever War heavily focuses on war and (unknown) reasons of it, and the effect it has on people returning from it. A brilliant use of science and physics to present the evolution of society that soldiers return to, unable to fit in again. Even if the Starship Troopers had some over the top feel, it is actually a very deep film raising many questions if you sit down and think about it all. Even on its own. And if you go through a book, damn, you are in for a treat.

SCHOOL SHOOTER those words don't mean what you think they do kid.

SCHOOL SHOOTER. Yes because obviously anyone who works a real job for a living would vote in a party who takes all of their hard earned money and gives it to the lazy and ungrateful.... Have you ever worked. Like not a fast food job or retail but like in a mine or factory or mill? Why would you voluntarily give your stuff yo people who didn't earn it? Commies only get elected by lazy people.

And to be fair to the lore, in both the movies and the book that is the whole point. while money isn't an issue in this future war was. So a group of veterans got together to protect their town from looting and then moved on to become a world government with the simple idea that "A person who has never been in the serves and doesn't understand the weight of sending soldiers to their deaths should not be allowed a voice in the discussion of sending people to their deaths." (horrible over simplification but you get the point) and military services wasn't the only way to become a citizen, the book makes a huge deal about if a deaf, dumb, and blind person wanted to serve they would find them a job counting rice in Antarctica with chopsticks. because they were equal opportunity, but their job is to make you earn it through hardship. like the scene at 7:45 the reason he talked to every recruit and got to know them is because his job is to scare people, who don't have the chops, off. in the book he didn't wear his prosthetic arm during sing in, and then when Rico bumps into him after hours the guy is in super high tech prosthetic and tells him "now that your in i don't have to scare you away"

You do know that between robocop and starship troopers he made showgirls, right?

@@NeoConnor1SHHHHHHHHH, we don’t talk about Showgirls.

John Anderson well done, well done

Most of the members are there for personal gain than anything else, for example to gain citizenship under The Federation(R) they must serve The Military(TM) first, after that they can unlock a LOT of possible achievments in life. Some of them are like Carmen (who wanted to be a military pilot) and truly want to serve their nations, but others are like the black chick, entering service just because it is an installed requirement for a better civilian career. Rico and Dizzy on the other hand are there just for romantic reasons and Ironside is there because he believes The Federation's(R) ideals. On a side note to this, it might seem that Ricco got the worst part by getting wiped while the actual murderer of the former companion and soldier just got expelled from The Military(TM), but in reality Ricco got it easy because he could still serve and achieve citizenship while the black chick would end up having a hard time (to say the least while being uber-optimistic about it) trying to reach his dream job or a decent career, since she ended up having a black mark in her record under The Military(R). As a last comment I will say that the reason behind the massacre in Klendathu is this: The Federation(R) as any militarized government, NEEDS an enemy in order to keep the population focusing their effors in the fighting and hating instead of the THINKING. So, in order to have the world united in hate against the "bugs" and at the same time, to throw 'war bounds' to The Military(TM) in order to have the "Revenge Machine" in movment, a sacrifice was required. Showing thousands of soldiers destroyed by the bugs is more convincing than ANYTHING the Propaganda Crew could put up on the global television. So yeah, as you know, there is a LOT of subtext into this film, wich a LOT of people missed the first time it got 'aired' on theaters. (for example, like what happened to Carpenter's The Thing) EDIT: Fixed some grammar errors, but since I am a native spanish speaker who learned english by accident (watching movies with subtitles) and NOT by studing it, heavy loads of fuckups per paragraph are a POSIBILITY.

The black chick "killed" that guy because Rico had him remove his helmet. The guy wouldn't have been hit if he still had the helmet on.

@@amehak1922 The guy was hit in the face by the bullets, he probably would have died even with the helmet.

Doug still has to work for channel awesome for now. But he will probably leave as soon as he is able too.

k2d10tode11 I find you quite pretentious

EXACTLY!!! all we need now is giant bugs to rain fire down from the sky

Say what you will, I think this should've just been an original film instead of as a satire of such a hugely influential book that, from what I gather, the director didn't even fully read but simply threw away halfway through and stuck to a story summary. The author may not have been the most progressive person on earth, but he wasn't simply saying "fascism is good, kids!"; plus a lot of your favorite sci-fi media would either not exist or be far less good without it. I get why the director would dislike it given what he lived through, but it still feels kind of dickish to me.

They are just bugs... hehe
