Honestly the big mistake Starship Troopers made was making them win the fight. The only thing a fascist understands as a repudiation of their worldview is if it is shown to be weak, but beware, that will piss them off.

And funnily enough, most corporate movie studios aren’t going to take a risk like that. Having a movie where we follow human protagonists to their defeat at the hands of aliens is not ever going to fly in most of the conservative US, so the studio will play it safe and pander to the fascists.

Almost like fascists’ entire thing is just to worm their way into influence within a liberal capitalist democracy, and their actions are tuned very well to that end.
