Just curious, as someone who hasn't looked up much about it, does Helldivers 2 have the satirical themes as Starship Troopers, too? Or is it just about fighting bugs in space?
The game is about spreading Managed Democracy to protect our way of life, with tip screens like "If an alien ever attempts to engage in negotiation, SHOOT THEM. We mustn't believe their lies," and "Helldivers who fail an objective do not get sent to freedom camps. This is merely a dissident rumor," and "Remember: FREEDOM!"
There's an entire mission objective based on raising a flag while you salute it, with cameras recording it for the millions of innocent civilians back home you're protecting with the gentle outreach of an iron fist.
While spreading peace through the galaxy, your character will shout things like "Say hello to democracy!", "Freedom never sleeps!", "How about a nice cup of liber-tea?!", "How do you like the taste of FREEDOM?!", and "You'll never destroy our way of life!"
The PA on the ship announces things like "Every bullet fired is a freedom seed planted in the hearts of our enemies," and "Do not think of rebels as human. If our views are alien to them, they are alien to us."
Oh yeah. And you need to lean it to it. Democracy and Freedom are practically deities in the game. You'll hear young men and women shout about democracy while commiting interplanetary war crimes, and pleading for liberty to save them when one of their limbs get blown to hell.
The directors cut might make it a decent movie though, just like with Kingdom of Heaven. Why they don't just chop the movie into two parts but elect to bring out a turd followed by the complete movie a year later is anyone's guess.
I'm so sick of this. I'm not giving you money twice just because you feel like releasing a bad version first. In fact, I'm not giving you any money if you do that.
Napoleon's first language was Italian, and he spoke French with a Corsican accent. France conquered the Corsican Republic in 1768, Napoleon was born in 1769 to a line of minor Italian nobles (not that Italy was an actual thing yet)
TL;Dr he shouldn't have a French accent because he didn't have one
That bothered me severely in the first Wonder Woman movie. Wonder Woman and her actor friend can speak like every language, which is demonstrated on screen, but the Germans speak English. There was not so much German talk in the movie that it could not have been in German.
