@HeerJeet 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 — PolitiTweet.org

Same thing with Starship Troopers, which is widely celebrated as an anti-fascist satire but actually depicts the bugs as monsters who nuke a major human city — PolitiTweet.org

@BenBurgis I think that's plausibly the intent, but it's a very very very thin reed to rest the case on given how evilly the bugs are depicted in the movie — literally eating brains! Also I think this point about its protagonist perspective is generally right https://t.co/StPG2GBSsJ — PolitiTweet.org
