"Helldivers 2: Reviving Starship Troopers for a New Generation"

Helldivers 2's success is sparking a renaissance for the 1997 film Starship Troopers, which heavily influenced the game. The movie, based on Robert A. Heinlein's novel, was a satirical take on fascism and militarism, but was initially misunderstood by critics. Director Paul Verhoeven's intent to criticize fascist ideology was lost on many, leading to misguided accusations of promoting fascism. Despite this, the film's relevance and impact have endured, making it a must-watch for its blend of over-the-top action and anti-fascist satire.

"The Bizarre Sci-Fi Sequel that Marked the Era's Demise: A Look Back 15 Years Later"

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, released 15 years ago, is considered the last of a dying breed of direct-to-video sci-fi sequels that captured the spirit of the original 1997 classic. Directed by Edward Neumeier, the writer of the first film, the sequel brought back Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico and returned to the satirical and camp elements of the original. While not a good sci-fi movie or parody, Starship Troopers 3's tonal inconsistencies and intentionally stilted dialogue make it a fascinating and unique watch, deserving of some respect for its attempt to recreate the spirit of the original.
