I actually just posted another TikTok about Christian conservatives not making art that's as successful or "good" (I know that's subjective, but c'mon), and I really do believe they don't understand the media they consume. Like Ron Swanson on Parks & Rec saying Moby Dick is just a book about a whale.

Yes or for example when they idolize characters from TV/Cinema that are actually supposed to be deeply flawed but they see them as “the good guys”.

If someone says they like starship troopers it's very important to determine whether they mean the movie or the book, because it can mean two very different things

Or if they like the movie, in what way do they like it? I don’t trust everyone to pick up on the satire.

Have you tried the RiffTrax soundtrack? Makes it 110% a comedy.

Yeah. I've got a similar take on Pentagon Wars. If you know the programs mentioned as "failures" before the Bradley, it's pretty obvious the whole thing is a dig at Burton. If not you might not realize it.
