This was the fundamental problem with True Blood. The show very explicitly used human-vampire marriage as. a parable for same-sex marriage, except that it also went out of its way to show that almost all vampires were evil creatures who really just wanted to eat peoplehttps://twitter.com/opinonhaver/status/1531784571053674496 …

Hard to see how destroying Buenos Aires is defensive. Also the way the film elevates the combat heroism of Johnny et al — and the seemingly sentient Brain Bug literally slurping down human brains — does a lot to undermine those more subtle points

I just don't think the logic follows for starship troopers. Fascism's not a good response even in the face of a true existential threat.

The movie makes it very clear how ridiculous the idea that the bugs shot a meteor across the entire galaxy to precisely hit a small moving target like the Earth is. Obviously that didn't happen, it was just a freak accident that the government didn't prevent through incompetence.pic.twitter.com/H1nConvuAu

Not subtle. Bugs are defending themselves but getting stronger and smarter in the process. They manage to hit earth with one of their plasma discharges so Humans freak out and invade. At the end we discover the bugs are “afraid” and cheer, because we’re all fascists at heart.
