No, you didn't. China got fucked up in the First Invasion. We have more details on that now actually, because of the prequels. But that is all back story to Ender's game, it should really only appear in vids of the invasion if they stick to the book. Granted said vids may be pretty dramatic and therefore get into the trailer.Oh, and the jet fighting on earth? I'm like 95% sure that during the first invasion there was a raking or scathing of china. I distinctly remember something about it in the book.
Maybe I read a revised edition?

Well shit, guess I need to buy 100 tickets to make up for the loss of revenue from the gay boycott.
Card is a major d-bag, but considering the quality of most contemporary authors, saying EG is overrated isn't saying anything at all. Par for the course really. Anyway, a large portion of the western world disagrees with you. Cheers!Not only is Card a major douchebag, Ender's Game is an overrated piece of shit.
Edited to spoiler just in case anyone reading this thread really doesn't know the ending still, since it has openly been discussed, but trying to be safe.I saw the trailer last night at the theatre, hope it turns out to be a good movie. I thought it was really lame they showed the ending in the trailer though. Wtf?
I agree with the registered SO.HP Lovecraft was a huge racist
NASA was founded by a bunch of 'ex' Nazis.
Lewis Carroll was a pedophile.
As Astro mentioned, Roman Polanski plead guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor before fleeing the country, although he was probably right to get out of the country.
So quite frankly, I couldn't give a shit less if Card is a homophobe. His ignorance and prejudices don't take away from his ability to create literature.
I'm not sure all of those are really equivalent, but I'll give you a point for effort.HP Lovecraft was a huge racist
