    Is this going to be a remake of the Paul Verhoeven movie or a movie faithful to the book? I got the impression it was going to be the latter and it scares me. At this point in the US, such a movie would awfully seem like the kind of militaristic propaganda Trump would love for his expansionist Putinesque fantasies.

      Helldivers II is very popular right now, and that game is basically a comedic over-the-top parody of Starship Troopers (the movie, not the book). If the studio has any sense about them, they’ll remake the film in the vein of Helldivers and not actual imperialist military propaganda like the book.

        Awww… you poor thing.

        I promise you that in the event where something like this were to happen, there will be plenty of places where you can hide so as to not trigger your irrational fear of others being happy.

            Aww… another meltdown? It seems you’re really having a hard time conducting yourself like an adult here. If it helps relieve the pressure, no one typically ever expects bigots to act rational when the topic of how others live their lives is on the table.

            So go on and let it all out, big guy! Have that cry and feel better!
