    The shovel has been a running joke through Helldivers since the early days of HD1. During a time when people were looking for any hints they could at upcoming content (because the devs tend to add hints into the maps for things that are in the near future), someone spotted a shovel as a prop in a scene and took it to mean that melee weapons would be coming to the game. It was funny enough that the devs decided to start scattering shovels in more places. One of the biggest call outs of this is a scene you can find on some HD2 maps where a shovel is wedged into the front claw of a dead charger.
    There's a similar joke with forklifts, since players in HD1 pointed out a vehicle bay in the ship and kept asking when they were getting vehicles. The devs responded with something along the lines of "you already have them. There's a forklift in every Super Destroyer". Now, forklifts are the most prominent vehicle in the game.

    Fun Super Fact. The Hell Pod was originally named the Help Pod in regards to its function of delivering helpful Helldivers. Helldivers too were actually dubbed Held Ivers, as they were held in the pods and the Swedish word "iver" is a noun for "eagerness" and "zeal".
    Treasonous propaganda would try to twist these noble words, but the righteous spirit of Super Earth did as was done with Yankee Doodle, and we took their monikers of mockery as the honorific titles we use today!

      I don’t think it’s the brains given there doesn’t really seem to be a pattern to how they are torturing the SEAF folks they capture. Also we literally never find a “pow” camp with survivors and one would assume if they were using them for parts executions would only come when they detect the helldivers. I can’t imagine a brain harvested from a dead and decomposing corpse left in the open air would be viable even if the blender they dropped into the cage with them left the skull intact.

    Calling a Helldiver untrained is a bit of a disservice. While yes the "training" you do at the start of the game is lackluster it felt more like a refresher course than actual training.
    Further, a Helldiver, even a recruit, is capable of running, sprinting, fighting, jumping, and diving, in full gear, armor and guns. They can sprint for about 90 seconds, rest for about 1 minutes and sprint another 90 seconds in full gear.
    Next, a Diver is extremely familiar and skilled with all weapons handed to them. They will basically never fumble a reload unless something physically interrupts their reloading, like getting shot or thrown around by explosives.
    Helldivers are expendable shocktroops. Very well trained and skilled shocktroops. But ultimately expendable. Once a conflict reaches a certain scale and intensity even special forces become expendable if necessary.

What I got from interacting with the war table for the first time was 2 back to back messages saying that they cleared all the bugs off a certain planet and not even 2 seconds later saying that they missed some and now the planet is completely infested again. Also when you close a bug hole you do just that, CLOSE it, you don't destroy it or seal it off forever you just collapse enough put a dirt cap on it. Im certain that there are thousands if not millions of bugs under our feet at all times, just look at breaches, they show up anywhere on the planet in massive amounts at a moment's notice

    What I find incredible -- and I apologize if it's mentioned after 28:00, because I'm at the middle of the video -- is that the Helldivers are practically *farmed* and indoctrinated into loyalty. I especially love to talk with the mechanic girl in the super destroyer, she spits out gems of the in-game lore. When you see the sprawling suburbia scene in the intro video, that's essentially, from a certain perspective (and you already mentioned the actual life expectancy of 2 minutes) a huge farming system, not really a residential area, and I find this such a hilarious and scary, thus grotesque parallel to the world we live in. It is such a good and strong depiction of what modern capitalism, global corporations, and contemporary wars truly are. If George Orwell could've written his books without using words, this is the video game he would make.
    This world building is especially important if you consider the questions of morality. You, as the protagonist, are completely anti-heroic, no matter what you do. You can practically be as virtuous as possible and a phenomenal human being who hugs everybody and is considerate to everyone, but if the organization that employs you is bad, very bad on a galactic scale, doesn't that make you a villain? In fact, you are not anti-heroic, you are what is known a Byronic hero, a hero who exclusively does bad things for the greater good, however unlike the classical depiction of Byronic heroes, the way you belong to a brainwashed society aligns you well with the ordinarily heroic virtues, and classic tropes of "a loner rejected by society, who has a distaste for social norms and is self-destructive" simply do not apply any more.
    In this sense, apart from Starship Troopers there is also a strong shared similarity with Ender's Game, to an extent. The upper organization is technically cultivating a murderous machine through multi-generational experiments, with individual specimens all sharing a degree of implementation freedom, but which do not question their authorities, or else... All of this is technically a supernazism in disguise, and literally everything from vast propaganda machine, to gene selection/cultivation, super soldiers, and multi-generational experiments has been attempted by the nazis. Only for it all to be "shut down" with the fall of Berlin. "Could it be that it wasn't shut down, but it was reimagined and rebranded?" was the key alternate history concept of the Verhoeven's movie. Even Philip K. Dick was ready to confirm that John Smith was a better, more superior Nazi than Himmler or Hitler, with all the intrigue and nuance surrounding The Man in The High castle.
    So all of this is a direct question in your face "Are you loyal to this kind of service?" and people already have their response deeply embedded inside them. Including me, although I'll be reported to the nearest democracy officer for having crime-thoughts.

    I like to think that the reason Super Earth needs oil as a fuel source for their FTL drives is because we did a pisspoor job at adapting the tech we stole from the Illuminates. Our drives probably aren’t nearly as efficient as the Illuminates were, since we need such a relatively crude fuel source as compared to what the drives were designed to use, which was probably a form of fusion.

Last I checked the bugs bleed green and last I checked regular oil is black in color. If they're using the bugs it would technically be green in color. But since it's red makes me think they're using human blood to some capacity. Not to mention there's recently been findings of them experimenting on human captives.

Could call it a failed science experiment added to the tasks list of the helldivers maybe. I have also noticed that chanting of automaton patrols.

    Something I think you completely skipped was how on the Automaton front we've been seeing massive cloaked ships that simply sit in the skies. I wouldn't be surprised if these were Illuminate ships, as I myself have seen them actually engaging with friendly destroyers. They can be very hard to spot sometimes. I think the Illuminates are probably working together with a force like the Terminids and potentially Automatons. My theories are based on the fact that Super Earth command was truthful about our victories against the Illuminates. Despite the Illuminates possibly farming the Terminids, Whats stopping them from have made an alliance? I suspect that a common enemy like humans would be a good enough way for an alliance. With the terminids being spread across the galaxy by Illuminates. This would be a way for the Illuminates to bleed down Human millitarys to make a victory/revenge against them easier. I think that the cloaked ships over the Automaton sectors could be part of the older fleets with less capable cloaking, with the newer and more useful ones being used on Terminid worlds. I also wouldn't be surprised if there were peace talks happening between the Automatons and illuminates. There have also been multiple clips to surface of blue lasers being fired at Helldivers mid combat. I saw a theory that this could be Illuminate snipers testing the survivability of the divers and their armor. We also have a whole empty sector of nothing going on in the bottom of the galaxy below Super Earth.
