#WritersCoffeeClub 13: Most disappointing TV or movie adaptation?
Verhoeven's Starship Troopers is a good anti-facist film. But it's not a satire of Heinlein's book.
Trainee asks drill sergeant why they are practicing with knives when they have nukes.
Book: DS stops lesson, gives lecture on proportional force.
Movie: DS throws knife through trainee's hand.
Plus powered armor was central to the book but appears nowhere in the film. The book absolutely deserves critique, but that ain't it.
