Super-heroes are an action sub-genre you flaming moron (done with the insults? I'd rather keep this conversation above the level of the schoolyard but if you insist I will fight fire with fire).
At least when Card ripped of Troopers he didn't make it stupid. SAAB was a long series of poorly done cliches masquerading as innovatice sci-fi. It was part of a long series of proof that Chris Carter was a one hit wonder.

No really considering the Fox Animated Batman series was more of a drama/action series.
And you are crazy for wanting to start a flame war.

Let me guess, you hated the Matrix and Star Wars also.

The problem with Space Above and Beyond was that they didn't know if they wanted their Marines to be pilots or ground pounders -- so they chose both. Ugh. No one is going to send pilot in as ground forces. If they had made them some sort of special ops force instead of misfits, it might have made a little more sense. Then again, Hollywood seems to think that misfits are the cream of the military since most military action movies are about misfits.
