Blah blah Avatar, 3D sucks blue cat people DAE no cultural impact?? Can you remember any character names??
but seriously it was bold as fuck for someone like James Cameron to make something so blatantly anti-US-military at a time when literally the entirety of Hollywood was united in jerking off American imperialism. It was not the least bit subtle and that makes it all the more impressive that Cameron was able to make a pointed takedown of Iraq-era militarism on such a scale.
People who were 10 when Avatar came out are now talking about how it was deep and it wasn't them just being young and naive
it is funny seeing people say redditors have no ability to analyse the themes and symbolism in a text, and then overlooking the VERY OBVIOUS point that the aliens are noble savages based on native Americans, and need a white man to save them, and it's a racist movie
