Avatar is still a mediocre movie (with thoroughly average characters and plot). It’s not better, as a film, than any marvel slop.

If that wasn’t enough, James Cameron is not someone to be admired. He’s a horrible person who abused his cast and crew to hell and beyond. All to make a movie that is filled with the most stereotypical indigenous representation and extremely basic world building.

What if all the plants glowed? Wouldn’t that be super cool?! I am a genius.

All the tribes in the world have the same hierarchical (and stereotypical) structure and speak the same language.

And the next film is about the “bad” navis apparently. So, it’s not even gonna be about (the most mild critique) of colonialism anymore.

Yes, it looks pretty. But that’s about it. It’s better than Marvel and Top Gun (barely) but nothing to be celebrated or memed about. He is an anti-worker piece of shit who doesn’t give a shit about indigenous struggles or their experience.

Read what some indigenous critics have said of the film and his comments. Read what his cast and crew have said of how he treated them.

What a take. Marvel movies are MIC propaganda. They’re explicitly bad in avatar 2. Try harder haters.

I must be taking the crazy pills because the avatar movies always seemed like some of the most egregious white savior bullshit put to film. I do not understand the chapo/hexbear love of the movies. Thoroughly mediocre plot and characters, ignoring actual criticism and consulting by indigenous peoples, and they just had to have Anglo McWhitey teach the natives how to fight and become their prophesied messiah demigod figure. 🤮

No one who thinks Avatar is like this has actually watched the movie

Avatar is popular internationally with non-white audiences, far moreso than most Hollywood stuff
