The point of the movies is literally to make a mockery of the novel. It satirizes the book and shits all over every part of it in order to reverse its message. It ruins Rico's development from a civilian to a soldier, removes the power armor, and caricatures the Federation, all in order to change reverse the messages Heinlein wrote into Starship Troopers. If using an author's work after his death to lampoon his ideas isn't an insult, what is?
