Ah, so it's going to be current-year slop for the "modern audience".
Starship troopers but without the charms and more space trumpler
Gotta have the brown girlboss, queer subplot and "people being mean to the poor immigrants are the REAL monsters!" drivel.
Don't forget the evil "huwhyte racist" who will bully the girlboss and her black/latinX girlfriend, only for him to end up in a bad predicament and then have to apologise and admit that the Mary Sue was "right all along", just before meeting a cowardly and untimely demise.
I bet it's going the be like that awful Paramount+ Halo show. Nothing but poorly written melodrama wearing a skinsuit of the game it's supposed to be adapting.
What's funny is that Helldivers was already current year "subversion" for the modern audience. It literally opens with a mixed race couple in its propaganda video.
They literally don't need to change a thing about it and it'll adapt perfectly fine into Woke slop. The only concern is if they make it look too good and people ignore that subversion, which is what happened with the game itself.
There are female Helldivers in the game... So that means ALL competent helldivers will be women in this adaptation. All leaders, generals, admirals, etc will be mostly women and minorities. Any male helldivers will die in hilarious gory ways, especially leaders, so that the women can rise up and grrlboss their way to victory.
