Really glad you reached out for help on this notoriously difficult and very very subtle movie. It satirizes the type of propaganda an ultranationalist, militaristic state would put out. We have a group of characters, not only ripped from aryan propaganda posters, but also…
Why the first Starship Troopers movie failed as a parody, a thread:
Watching the movie, it was clear the director was aiming for a campy, over-the-top depiction of the Terran Federation. Perhaps not an outright mockery, but certainly a drastic departure from the serious novel.
Holy shit lmao.
I didn’t even realize the quote from Obaid-Chinoy about ‘making men uncomfortable’ was not about SW, but her activism related to acid attacks and honour killings in Pakistan.
It’s 8 years old.
The internet is broken.
Since Starship Troopers is on everyone’s mind, here’s how the movie Federation wasn’t as fascist as the smooth brains claim.
>People have freedom to chose their careers
Johnny wasn’t forced to work in a field or a tractor factory.
>Citizens and civilians had freedom of…
Fuck you. This is despicable, targeted misinformation.
Jonathon Glazer bravely said NOT that he refutes his Jewishness, but that he refutes his Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked to cause harm.
You know the full context but lie. You should not be a journalist. People…
I simply cannot fathom the moral rot in someone's soul that leads them to win an award for a movie about the Holocaust and with the platform given to them, to accept that award by saying, "We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness."
This is extremely shady. Aspyr was caught using modded assets for the trailer, they responded stating that the game would be all official work.
Well, no. It launched using the same modded material. The insane thing is the mod was simply emulating Xbox exclusive content.
Seriously,
@AspyrMedia
I’m beginning to feel insulted.
Nintendo Switch launched with just straight up all my hero stuff from my mod. Same glitches and bugs. We’ve datamined it and it’s the exact same files just using the proper lightsaber attack anims.
(This is before patch)
These chuds will argue about literally the most basic, surface level analysis because they want to be able to watch a movie the same way they did when they were 13.

@ettingermentum
Oh no! You witnessed two planes fly into the World Trade Center?
You poor thing.
Well, on Sept 11 2001 people chose to jump to their death rather than face a certain death to the inferno within the towers.
To me, this goes right up there in the pantheon of great Star Wars TV alongside the Andor finale, the many excellent Mando Eps, The Siege of Mandalore, Rebels' Jedi Night, etc.
Probably the most a SW show has felt like a movie - which I don't always want - but they nailed it.
In canon Dagon Gera is a great example of the fact that not all darksiders are Sith.
Dagon could've fallen during the High Republic Era, and to a degree he did, and it doesn't change Ki-adi-mundi's quote re: the appearance of the Sith.
Aspyr, with 20 years of hardware and networking improvements, launched the Battlefront re-release in a WORSE state than the originals.
Aspyr was given a golden egg: take the games, polish them slightly, re-release for $30. They couldn’t even manage that.
Tired of this shit.
I gotta say...
#Ahsoka
really is a special show. It's everything I wanted to see from the continuation of Star Wars Rebels and somehow more.
My biggest wish is that they give the story all the time to play out that it deserves. We should only just be starting.
The most unrealistic thing I’ve ever seen about any Star Wars movie… because why was Laura Dern on this ship with a fresh dye job and custom gown ready to take over the rebellion?
You can like Starship Troopers and just enjoy the dumb bug action and that's totally fine. You can even think the satire is poorly done, but still enjoy the movie.
But to ignore the film's obvious intention just makes you look dumb. Sixth graders understand the film.
If they’re going to do Thrawn’s story right, what we’ve got so far in
#Ahsoka
should only be basically the prelude to Heir to the Empire. My biggest hope with this series, now that I’ve seen the quality, is that they give it the time and scope it deserves. There’s no rush here.
Was really nice for the New Republic to leave three of their new state-of-the-art starships at Seatos for Thrawn to body with a half busted Star Destroyer when he gets back
It almost doesn’t feel real how stupid the Halo show is.
I mean this genuinely: I do not know how you could make something worse and more divergent from the source material without it being obvious that you’re torpedoing the franchise.
Some cool action though.
Ahsoka emphasizes that dedication and training are more important than talent, suggesting that non-Force-sensitive students could be accepted into Rey's New Jedi Order. 🧡
This is a really good example of how dumb people argue.
I fully lay out my case; he latches onto one thing I said, and the end, to try to undermine my argument. When I prove that one specific counter-argument wrong, he acts like it is the crux of my argument.
Just lmao. Watch…
This man cannot grasp the simple fact that, and here come the caps and bold for emphasis...
SURFACE LEVEL AESTHETICS ARE MEANINGLESS WITHOUT SUBSTANCE TO MAKE WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT APPARENT!!!
You can put all the eagles and Hugo Boss outfits you want into…
To me, Palpatine coming back was always the play. He's the Devil, I love the idea of the heroes going into Hell (Exegol) and killing him one last time. Like Ian McDiarmid pointed out: he's the one always pulling the strings
The issue is that it came completely out of nowhere
My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy earlier this week. Everyone is very happy and doing great.
Major props to Canada: my wife and baby received excellent care, at a cost of under $100 (parking, my food), and we received a Tim's gift card for participating in a study 😅
This cutscene is flashy & pretty well made but it’s insane how every musical, sound, design & direction choice is just not Halo.
Halo is military science fiction, this is plastic Avengers. Listen to the music, the guns, look at the armor. The hero run at the end.
Glad we’ve…
How will you feel if Ahsoka is completely absent from Episode 6 and it's all about getting the Phoenix gang back together and political infighting as the storm approaches?
Fell asleep last night and missed the big moment 😅
I remember watching all my favourite YouTubers growing up, never imagining I could join their ranks, and it still feels surreal.
It’s been an amazing journey and I hope it’s just started!
‘Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake’ reportedly dead, Sony and PlayStation looking to cut ties!

God you’re soft as baby shit. The entire video is about the pricing, launcher, and withholding of launch content. I literally say 30 seconds in that the face complaints are ludicrous.
This is such bad faith BS, which is ironic given your framing of my video.
I find it somewhat surprising that people don't realize Hera and Kanan were a thing since the beginning. Season one premiere, she calls him love. He clearly has in-law anxiety when they go to Ryloth, etc.
Really love the medieval feel of this episode. Not just the obvious knightly quality of the antagonists, but the fact that it all looks like it's taking place in a forgotten grove of some fantastic forest.
I still feel like Star Wars hasn't had it's first true live action TV show. I'm waiting for the episodic 20 episode season of SOMETHING. I want something different than the '8-part movie' format they've relied on, and I think ANDOR showed the strength of traditional TV-format
God, I don’t know why I bother. The point is: using a person’s history of important real world activism as a cudgel against whatever new pop culture bullshit is next is first world problem nonsense.
This is all so deeply unserious, have 35 seconds of perspective.
Eckhart holy shit man... what the fuck happened to you... NO ONE... NO ONE AT ALL... thinks acid attacks are good thing. But making a documentary doesn't make you capable of handling a star wars movie. A heart surgeon shouldn't run a restaurant. One skill doesn't meet another!
It truly is the luck of the draw that some of us get worry about whether a history of anti acid-attack and gendered violence activism will ruin our favourite space movie, while others, you know…

This meme started as a joke but I think we're getting closer to a time when it will become the founding document of a new political party, which I will join btw
I’m surprised so many people are seemingly confused about the Sith lol.
Yes - the Jedi thought the Sith extinct. Obviously, as evidenced by the conversation between Maul and Sidious, they were simply in hiding.
Yes the Acolyte will need to find a way to keep them incognito.
One of GTA 5’s downsides are the lack of enterable buildings.
I hope GTA 6 will have plenty of interiors to explore. It adds so much more depth to the world.
A lot of science-fiction actually has this problem: a sequel or an adaptation completely loses a signature visual style of the original work and everything ends up looking just generic. Halo is a particularly bad case because both the UNSC and the Forerunners totally lose their…

Wikipedia is probably the most important site in the world. Of course this moron takes issue with it and is too dumb to look up their publicly available financials (or understand media hosting)
The dumbass is behind the X rebrand and wants to talk about another site’s business
Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money?
It certainly isn’t needed to operate Wikipedia. You can literally fit a copy of the entire text on your phone!
So, what’s the money for? Inquiring minds want to know …
