That movie holds up really well imo. The sequels were never great. I don’t want to shit on them too much, because they were basically very low budget and it seems like they tried
Starship Troopers. Yes it’s worth watching. It’s both an excellent satire of a society dominated by its military (it’s portrayed as if it’s an in-universe propaganda film) and an extremely well crafted action film.
It was directed by Paul Verhoeven, the same guy who directed RoboCop and Total Recall.
That’s not really how memes work. Or do you comment that every time you see that steven crowder douche? Actually steven crowder doesn’t play mario kart on the wii, therefore he would never debate you.
When the only swimming pool around is also the kiddie pool, the adults invariably risk wading into floating turds like your gem, kiddo. Your internet high fives from other shit muppets aren’t the accolades you think they are. Stay in school.
Hmm. This specific meme makes me wonder if its creator doesn’t quite grasp the inherent satire of the source material…
What movie is it? Is it worth watching?
Oh you’re in for a treat!
It’s Starship Troopers, one of the inspirations for Helldivers, afaik
It was good when I last watched it, but that was quite a while ago, the movie is from 1997, after all

Repeat after me: There were no sequels
The animated ones with Big Boss Rico and the power armor were all right.
Thanks!

If you play Helldivers, you have to watch Starship Troopers.
HD takes its tone, premise, and many more things from that movie (and a bit from the book the movie satirizes).
I’d say the choice of format is driven more by the similarity between ST and HD, and less about an accurate analogy with the source material
Fair, though this specific one hit a little closer to home considering its topic and the source material.

Well, memes are a complex phenomenon, but anyway adding more depth by using contextually related material never hurts
