[@KarmasAB123]

Technically, the war starts because of a misunderstanding, not innate hostility on either side.

[@narutardkyuubi]

In the book, the bugs are stand-ins for Communists. Specifically, a species in which communism is not only compatible, but perfectly optimal for. Of course, the natural consequence is that their way of life is incompatible with humans. There’s no real jingoism on that front, just two powerful species and a finite number of planets and resources. Indeed, a major thread is that the Federation wants to understand the bugs and end the war.

Exactly how it was for me. When it came out and I was a teenager, it was a great action film. I watched it 5-6 times and still didn't get the hidden messages. Even at some point I thought it was a film supporting colonialism. Then when AVGN made a video talking about it, I went back and watched it carefully, not just cheering the action scenes. So when I watched it 35+ years old, it felt totally different. It's actually a very smart satire movie.

"Starcraft" was fine, but "Zerg Rush" would have been a better name for the bugs.

@@Omnilatent I believe the bugs in the movie are closer to zerg because they don't have any cultists working for them
