What was the allegory of the original Stargate movie, actually? Something about the working class overcoming monarchy, maybe? TBH it kind of played off as US Military intervention in the Middle East propaganda... Yeah that's probably it.
Also: Starship Troopers is not just about killing bugs
It's abut mating with them and creating a new race (ie space diplomacy).
Imagine a human capable of butt-to-orbit warfare.
