But Joker is a nihilistic anarchist and Bane is an SJW anarchist. Batman's the neoreactionary who conservatives identify with.
Starship Troopers (1997) is a deliciously ambiguous movie: liberal viewers think it's a hilarious satire of toxic masculinity & militarism; conservatives think it's a savage space-war parable with Red Pill dog-whistles. What other movies have this 'political Necker cube' quality?pic.twitter.com/jbGcxWdKg0

@Gladwell 's Revisionist History addresses this in regards to The Colbert Report in an episode called the Satire Paradox.https://blog.simonsays.ai/satire-paradox-with-malcolm-gladwell-s2-e10-revisionist-history-podcast-transcript-37119b0bf8ae … -
Colbert was truly satire though, whereas Starship Troopers (still satire) is much more ambiguous. It should be noted that Starship Troopers was a total flop at the box office probably due to the fact that its humor flew over the heads of most viewers.

Haha. Thanks for the correction! So it nuclear testing. I was probably confused by the reviews of Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, 1974, a response against Starship Troopers. In penance, here's David Kalat's Godzilla commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUl9uPoD5mE … ..

X Men First Class. Liberals think it’s a warning about the dangers of becoming the enemy you fight by stopping to their level. Right wingers think it’s a Gonzo statement about the necessity of taking power and fighting your enemies rather than capitulating.

I dunno why it didn't do better. Maybe cause everyone had seen the documentary "Them" and wasn't impressed (.....Thompson vincit ominia!!!)pic.twitter.com/ooJ1q0SrEP
