sadly the sequels were terrible, hoping they reboot them like they did beetlejuice
Im Doing My Part
Ya'll should definitely watch the sequels to this movie as well you might see some more inspirations that were put into helldivers 2 would you like to know more?
In the 23rd century, Earth is governed by the United Citizen Federation, a stratocratic regime founded generations earlier by "veterans" who claimed that democracy and social scientists brought civilization to the brink of ruin. Now, citizenship is exclusively earned through federal service, which grants rights—like voting and procreation—that are withheld from ordinary civilians. Humans, who are now spacefaring, conduct colonization missions throughout the galaxy, bringing them into conflict with a race of highly evolved insectoid creatures dubbed "Arachnids" or, derisively, "bugs".
So, yeah in this film, we're basically Space Fascists. We invade Arachnid space because of Manifest Space Destiny, and we slaughter them on sight and bombard their home planets because "ew disgusting bugs get them outta here so we can colonize these planets", so the Arachnids fight back by sending asteroids on gravity slingshots. One of em dinks the comms tower of one of our vessel, and happens to hit Buenos Aires.
(Tangentially, imagine: If Carmen didn't redirect the navigation path, and thusly not collided with the asteroid, changing it's course, maybe it would have missed earth?)
The Human Race turns Buenos Aires into branding, Jingoism everywhere, we release propaganda showing dead dogs and shit, and start an Arachnid genocide. Defense contractors like Boeing and Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman use our tax dollars to make weapons and find new ways to kill Arachnids. Meanwhile our politicians rally around "protecting family values" while throwing money at the defense contractors.
Sounds kinda familiar, right? US Foreign Policy has basically been some variation on this pattern for the last 200+ years.
To quote "Bulls On Parade" by Rage Against The Machine--
"Weapons not food,Â
not homes, not shoes,
No need, just feedÂ
the war cannibal animal. IÂ
walk the corner to the rubbleÂ
that used to be a library.
Line up to the mind cemetery now.
What we don't know keeps the contractsÂ
alive and movin.
They don't gotta burn the booksÂ
they just remove 'em.
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells,
They rally round the family, with pockets full of shells."
One of the theories I like is that the asteroid was actually a false flag, since at the beginning of the movie you see the destroyer in space that has the capability to destroy asteroids etc
And the distance that asteroid would have to travel, the bugs would have had to have sent it before humans even evolved. So 100% with you on that its a false flag to go to war.
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. its the best of the two movies.
Since y'all were so hyped for Clancy Brown; recommendation for a game reaction: Detroit Become Human.
I love how AT&T is canon to the space fascist society since they paid to advertise themselves in this movie
I love Verhoeven movies. They're dripping with satire. If y'all haven't seen Robocop or Total Recall, PLEASE fuckin watch those movies too.
FOR DEMOCRACY!
Do Toy Story 3 next!
NICE ! This is such a underrated classsic of mine. Please react to the other Movies too. (The series was pretty fun too : Rough Necks)
I love this one
Man ruff will watch any space related movie than actually watching star wars ?
please react to the kingsmenÂ
