In the defense of many, when 'Starship Troopers' was released in theatres, the promos / trailers for it, ALL promoted it as a straight-up aci-fi action flick, "the next Star Wars".

I would be astounded if anyone went to see it knowing it was meant to be satire, with the marketing job the studio did.

Good point

I sure do love when the soldiers blow up the aliens in Starship Troopers
