No they aren't, they just are super nutriated with future produce. You could do the same poo poo; 360 flip football catch, jump 40 foot gaps to ride a giant bug, and hell even gently caress dizzy in her already gaped rear end in a top hat... All with a b12 shot TODAY

yeah i mean some of these feats are beyond the highest 1% of people and it would make a lot of sense if the nazis played with the genome

although i'd modify my kids if i had the option why get fat failsons when you can get aryan supermen

let's trying a back flip move instead of simple running, quarterback sneak or passing play.

The real question is why was their future prom band playing a deep cut from David Bowie's Outside. Like how did that get there? It's seriously loving weird.

I thought the ballgame they were playing was on some kind of trampoline like surface or had the G lowered over the field or something? and Clancy Brown is just a huge badass and also remember it's a fictionalized version of the war for propaganda purposes

Didn't they get trained on the moon or Mars or something? With low gravity, you can do a flip and catch a football all day.


Maybe the movie version hid the power suits they wore in the book and the suit just makes them stronger.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Hell I backflip just walkin to the corner store occasionally. It's not some monstrous feat of mutant strength a pretty average dude with deece lower leg strength can do one after just a few days of practice. You just really really suck if you can't.

the book and movie are barely even related. its crazy how different they are, entire arcs about the daily life of a soldier in the book. also random other aliens getting blown to bits

The movie was an original script called bug hunt. It only got the Starship Troopers name plastered on it because the studio wanted to market it as an adaptation of the book.

Verhoeven never finished reading the book because it's Nazi trash.
