So Ive just watched the other two starship troopers as well and by now I am pretty much convinced that Blizzard basically made Starcraft as a video game version of this movie. I mean inspiration from the first movie for the zerg and the terran, sure, but once I got to the thrid movie? Marauders? Really? Come on...
I've only seen the first movie Speaking of Starship Troopers and Starcraft: [youtube]k5X5a2eBZv0[/youtube]
when I watched the first film I though ''wow, Starcraft the movie! I never heard of it before''.. never saw the other films
Heard it was actually mostly based on Alien. Design and quotes are all taken from there. The way I see it, if you didn't care before, why care now? It's still good. It's like how Disney stole The Lion King from some Jap movie called something like Zimbo the White Lion. It's still a good, and amazingly successful, movie, so who cares? Cracking down on stuff like that would be cracking down on inspiration.
You misinterpreted what I said. I am not saying it's deminishing the lore behind Starcraft in any way.
They seem pretty straight forward. Of course they are not so imba as in Startroopers but the idea is clearly the same.
