We’re currently experiencing a second wave of misunderstood Starship Troopers, due to Helldivers 2 getting popular.

For the unaware, Helldivers is basically a Starship Troopers video game. It has all the same themes and satire. And yet there’s a massive part of the player base that doesn’t catch the satire, and believes it’s just the greatest alien-killing game to ever be made.

I never really understood how people didn't understand Inception. Maybe it's because Nolan's head was entirely up his own ass during the writing phase that the ending seemed rushed, obscure, and very "first year creative writing class" in its resolution, but it's pretty straight forward that the intent was to

spoilercreate an ambiguous ending where the viewer debates whether or not Cobb is still dreaming.
Donnie Darko is some next level mind fuckery though.
spoilerHe fulfills the Grandfather Paradox on himself in order to save reality from being destroyed.
Crazy shit. Now I need to rewatch DD.

Thank you for actually explaining Donnie Darko. The people I've talked with about it think it's about a boy and his schizophrenia

he fulfils the grandfather paradox on himself.

Taking "go fuck yourself" to new heights.

How does one suck a fuck?

What's to misunderstand about Donnie Darko? I get a complete lack of understanding (particularly if the person had only watched it once), but I've never heard a real misunderstanding of it.

Oh I watched this when I was in my teens and was and still am confused on what it's about lol. Something time travel and Jake G letting a plane engine land on him while laughing...
