We’ll ignore the fact that Rorschach is a paranoid homophobic n*zi sympathizer for a sec. So, the entire point of Watchmen from page one is undermining and taking apart the concept of “hero”. This isn’t even subtext as much as TEXT. There are no heroes in Watchmen by design.

It’s kind of amazing to me the fact that Deodato almost burning a group of Indigenous people alive for a shot (which is in the film) gets overshadowed by the animal abuse and fake murder trial.

Ok. I love Mars Attacks but any “politics” in it are basically empty signifiers (in other words, they’re just props) used to help sell the idea that it’s a campy 1950s style alien invasion movie but made in the 90s. Unlike ST, there’s no subtext here to work with.
A movie that, contrary to Starship Troopers, nobody ever talks about is "Mars Attacks!" by Tim Burton (based), with the exact opposite message. In it Martians almost completely wipe out humanity because leftists keep trying to make peace with them despite repeated aggression.
