Hot take:
This is a pro us military story about intervention to help a native population against the monsters who are going to wipe them out without our help.
IE: we are officially living in Starship troopers.
Are you doing your part?
I’m genuinely curious what their argument is regarding why they had to do it this way.
Like obviously the real answer is: “Can’t afford all those cgi monsters without that sweet us military propoganda money.”
But I assume that’s still gauche to say out loud…

Some day we’ll get a major Hollywood film where the first scene is the main character getting hit by a truck and dying, but not today.
