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.

      RLM are the normiest normies that ever normied. They are three white guys who grew up on american propaganda, so I wouldn't be surprised if back in 2010 they used to believe america's racist past was behind them and the country is good now. Also, this is my interpretation and I wasn't there, but I think Mike is just mad that the military guy in Avatar isn't Picard. He wants the future to be the liberal nonsensical utopia because that's what he grew up on, so being forced to look at anything resembling the shittiness of the real world makes him mad. Again, the normiest normie.
