    Before I’d go to school, at 6am the WB channel played what became my private Disney Afternoon equivalent, which rotated through four shows: Jumanji, Garfield, Sonic the Hedgehog, and— for whatever reason— Roughnecks, the animated Starship Troopers series.

    It was rated PG, was produced by Paul Verhoeven, and people fucking died. No idea how it snuck in alongside the tamer stuff, but it very much felt unhinged at the time/someone didn’t vet it for kids.

      That show was SO GOOD.

      I also remember the intro is absolutely awesome, and only recently learned it was a Beethoven composition. There was a neat Microsoft ad that used it too, and I was like “THAT’S THE STARSHIP TROOPERS INTRO!” lol

      I noticed watching the DVDs that it felt oddly toned down in some places and not others, even when the plot would get serious.

      Often their rifles sound really silly-space-lasery and they’re aiming weirdly upwards instead of at their targets, for example.

      I loved those early CG shows like this though. Heavy Gear, Voltron (before the excellent Netflix one), Beast Wars…I wonder if Max Steele was any good because I never watched that one for some reason…
