Don't you get it, it's self-referential humor and "ironic" and self-deprecating because, oh we can't do any sequels these days without wink-and-nod fourth-wall breaking humor being used as a crutch for terrible writing - some people seem to believe as long as they're self-deprecating in the most shallow and insincere way, it's an effective way to disarm any criticisms of themselves or their "creative" endeavors.

"Ha ha, I sure do stink at this, right?" :winks to audience, keeps doing the same garbage over and over with no attempt at improvement:

Like family guy.

the fact that a raptor breaks the 4th wall and knowingly smiles at the audience kills me. The guy on the right is correct, they should have just made the whole thing a bat-shit, Corman-tribute creature feature.

For sure. Both movies were shit but the people I saw this one with who actually liked the first one didn't like this one. I think because the last one was also cartoonishly weird and stupid, where this one had a new director trying to do a better job and legitimize it a little, but ultimately just made it more boring.

It does reflect a real desire of the military to have an expendable suicide attack unit for combat whether it be robotic or biological.

something to kill/distract the enemy long enough for humans get an advantage. (humans are expendable too, but bad press is bad for keeping wars going)

the part where they talk about directing the raptors to kill using a laser attached TO A GUN is fucking nuts.
