One Starship Troopers misinterpretation was plenty!

I dunno, the movie has given me a catchphrase that I hear in my head every time I see a clickbait headline and it helps me avoid opening them. Every time I see a "This one trick the power companies don't want you to know" my brain fills in "Want to know more" on the end of it. I have to admit to enjoying the movie in a comic book sort of way, but it might as well have been based on a different book, which I also enjoyed, but from a totally different perspective.
Some Sci-Fi stories they should just admit to being utterly loose re-imaginings, it was a very very long bow to turn a series of short stories about Asmiovs three laws into an action movie!
