It's like 40K. There aren't any good guys. Just varied levels of bad guys.
But worst of all are those damn fascist bugs that ~~weren't hurting anyone until we attacked~~ hate freedom and spread propaganda
That movie was a fucking IQ test for the general population. We failed. You literally have to tell people the bugs did not explode Buenos Aries, it was some Reichstag Fire bs. His satire was so spot on it looks like it's not to a certain set. He ruined so many actors careers with the "act like a wooden retard" and them nailing it.
Did they really say that the bugs didn't destroy Buenos Aires? It's been a while but I thought they really did (or it wasn't implied they didn't at least, and they're shown throwing rocks later) but it was because humans had made colonies on their land before that.
No, that's the point of the comment you're responding to. It's painfully obvious that the bugs have no way to fling asteroids into the Earth, and the only "evidence" that it was the bugs is in-universe propaganda.
You can make the most over-the-top satire in the world, and people still won't get it.
They're capable of space travel. I'm not sure from what it would be obvious they can't fling rocks towards Earth.
I might be confusing it with the book that goes more in-depth with the war.
There's nothing obvious in the movie, unless you overthink it and get into the physics of it. There are lots of YouTube videos that will show the galactic map where they show the big planet being on the other side of the Milky Way from Earth. People have done calculations to show that the bugs would have had to launch the rock millions or billions of years beforehand to travel across the galaxy and hit Earth.
But yeah, there's nothing to imply that was intentional in the movie. It was more likely just a case of the film makers trying to make a good movie rather than setting up some conspiracy based on actual physics.
I was just wondering if there was some line I missed or something that hinted that it was a false flag attack.
All these Aryan looking fuckers being from Buenos Ares somehow wasn't blatant enough, nor was some of them wearing literal SS uniforms later.
What movie are you talking about?
Sounds like Starship Troopers
In 40k there were plenty of good guys before the Imperium killed them all for not being racist enough. RIP Interex
