You know, I'm surprised this concept for power armor isn't used more. It's actually a pretty cool thought, with the undersuit being a 'layer' of strength and speed enhancement, like halo, then the extra pieces are really just improving upon the base function while armoring up the soldier, all while being separate pieces so you can mix and match or, like we just saw, scavenge one from a dead soldier if need be.
Underrated badass escape scene from a badass character in cinematic history. In my opinion, this scene itself is already a clear proof of legendary combat art!
John "The Immortal" Rico. He survived in the first movie when a bug warrior stabbed his leg, he survived riding a colossal spitfire tank bug, he survived to outpost 29 and he survived to Brain Bug meeting. He survived in the third movie when Roku San base got down, he survived to the hanging. He survived in the first CGI movie and now in this other CGI movie he survived in an extemporary and absurd and way...killing dozens bugs...so bugs try with a plasma bombardment...and he survived again.
Nice touch that he aims for the weak spots. Also an interesting implication that the guy in the suit before? he died because he didn't leave his team. Clearly that last person could have gotten away. But they died before their ammo ran out.
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 Possible but milldly unlikely considering there was no damage to the power set that we saw. But when Rico got hit it broke several parts. Particlarly the shoulder weapons.
Problem is that seemingly he wrote it to play with your mind and made you realize that you fell into militarist fascist trap for a while because you believed it would protect democracy (and the characters were believable)... But it seems people have lost a lot of skill for critical thinking, asking critical questions, yes. Outrage, yes. But questioning your own belief, monitoring yourself to notice if your set of values is chancing, being able to work with something that you consider wrong, it seems a problem for a lot. And that goes for "blind incompetent believers" and "righteous zealots" alike.
@@arik2216 It's a pretty equal fight in the book. Not even a total war, but just some skirmishes and laying claims to proper planets to colonize. Book's MI are pretty cracked and remain one of the most over the top Power Armor Troops till this day while Arachnids were actually pretty technologically advanced themselves having acces to things like railguns which could put holes in armor, but needed multiple hits to be lethal because of sheer overpen and self-sealing and medical properties of power armor. The number discrepancy was also incredible in their favour. Honestly, that was the main reason they could compete against Federation. Something like 50-100 MIs could fight and win against 200-300k bugs (those losses were nothing for bugs) because of their, well, mobility, ordinance, and orbital support. Even then it was implied both sides heavily respected each other and never went after proper main planets of the other side, only ever trying to take over frontier planets or just ones with simple claim. Those skirmishes were just another form of diplomacy (YES, bugs engaged in it). There were other aliens too (like Skinnies who were shown to be so outmatched it wasn't even funny), but only Federation and Arachnids concerned Rico because NO-ONE else could even come close to those two space nations
The nuke at the ending of FEAR was kinda similar, everyone tried to get over a little wooden fence to protect themselves. It was purely irrational, acting out of fear.
Man they should really make a Starship Troopers game where you can customize your own character choose which class you want to be and craft and customize your own guns and weapons that would be so bad ass.
@@andrewcabral963 you’re in luck. There is a starship troopers game currently in Early access. It’s still a bit barebones, but very playable and a lot of fun. They have a development roadmap too, so I’m hoping that as it goes on we start getting more things from the movies.
after seeing this again you can't help but be amazed that his career started as him following his GF into the army getting dumped and turning into this lol
Considering "Ghosts" seem to exist, I wonder how any of Rico's original squadmates would react to seeing him fight like this. Considering how green they were when they landed on Klendathu
This is exactly what it feels like to get reinforced by a teammate that threw your beacon far away into a swarm. Picking up gear from your fallen comrades and sprinting away.
The armour suit is quite close to what they had in the book. As is the solo fighting, i think in the start they worked like a net, like one guy every 10miles. (And they also were the bad guys, but pssst)
0:57 Grab that combat gears with weapon from this dead one and Rico suit up. 2:03 Anti-infantry auto rotary gun 2:26 and multiple mini missile pod, much like War Machine in Ironman.
If people asked me who has like the greatest survival rate in movie stuff, like how long can he survive and shit, I will say "definitely General Rico from Starships Troopers". Still a general and will go to the front with his fellow man and woman everytime.
So, is Rico that good or are the average soldiers not trained in the use of their armor? Because that looked to be far too few bug corpses and way too many humans lying dead.
Rico has served for over twenty years and is a general. he was demoted to corporal in this movie for reasons and that's why he's currently stranded on Mars after a botched mission.
I know what this movie gets a lot of slack for the story. But for me, this action scene is awesome. I could easily excuse the inconsistencies of Bugs to Rico distance as: missing scenes. Rico could have found some grenades and threw them behind him to put some distance between him and the bugs (Or they initially probably wanted him to use the guns to blow up some damaged suits to put some distance between Rico and the bugs, but they realized that the optics would look bad for Rico because he would look disrespectful of the dead soldiers in the suits instead of looking like a hero)
remeber his melee fight in same movie, hi kick was able to tear bug's arm but that same arm stabbed/slashed his helmet very close to his face. He most likely lost eye doing same move but have less luck.
@@kraftik5300 he lost that eye before SST Invasion. They never went into detail about how that happened. Not that it really matters.... it still makes him a badass.

Yes, it is revealed at the end of the book (subtly) that Rico is Filipino. We find out his name is Juan Rico and he mentions speaking Tagalog with his father. Actually immensely progressive for a book from the 50s.
If we're following Helldivers Logic? Impact damage. I remember getting thrown by an explosion and not actually dying until I slammed into the wall. Now that I think about it's a similar principle to why punching someone in the back in Halo kills them, All that armor probably won't save you if your neck or spine gets snapped.
@@JeffHikariHey I can buy into that logic. The thing that still makes me question it is the shockwave from such an explosion should still be enough to kill someone inside the armour. Perhaps I'm questioning things too much!
@@CJ-rg4qu are you talking about the part in where they all jumped while they where getting bombarded by plasma bugs? if so the guy took a faceful of plasma while they where on free fall.
I’m sorry but why wouldn’t you set up the gun that can seemingly shoot autonomously to continue operation after the pilot dies on just a sentry mode? Especially given the enemy you’re faceing
question.... if all those dead soldiers were wearing power armor that good and each suit was capable of flight.... why was there a battlefield strewn with ones that had been killed by melee bugs.
Impressive how much time the bugs give him to be able to slowly suite up with scrap parts.
yeah, very considerate of them
STFU kid, it was Plot Armor. The strongest armor in fiction.

Yeah
Missing his right eye with a white tuft of hair he’s obviously guts
Badass he escaped a horde of bugs and managed to put armor!
He got promoted to Big Boss. :D
Love that in the rts game they combined everything, this suits from this movie, the mechs from the movies and more.
It’s about time for another animation for Starship Troopers
I agree
Here here it is a good day to die!
They def need to do another one.
Now that is some liberty right there

This is one of the best scenes in the movie this year.

Gotta get one of those guns, has the ability to push back the horde hundred meters or so with each camera switch.
