Avatar...a reminder of how the non-native Americans...

[Mortal1]

we're displaced, but these blue creatures overcame the scourge of the white devil. I liked avatar 1, but realized immediately hollywoods reason for doing so....emboldening reparations for those that about 15k years ago crossed the land bridge between asia and Alaska.

l am sure I will like avatar II as well, but will enjoy the story/special effects without being affected by its not so hidden meaning for the woke community.

When it comes to protecting your rights to free speech and safe living it won't be the folks with "feelings" that do that.

Looks like something the Talking Heads on Fox would put out there. And it looks like some Native Americans are complaining about Avatar 1 and 2 because of grabbing elements of their culture.

The new clan at the coral reefs are obviously patterned after the Maori People and most of the actors playing them were from New Zealand. The original clan in the forests had definite elements of tribes and nations of indigenous peoples from North and South America. Is this a good thing to have their values represent as the "good guys" in these films or a bad one as it amounts to cultural appropriation. I don't really know. However, science fiction has a LONG history of borrowing from history, culture and modern events, usually to tell a story about history, culture and modern events. Certainly the original Star Trek series did a bunch of stories that grabbed elements of modern events and used them to say something about those events. Sometimes it's subtle and other times about as obvious as a brick in the face.

It's insanely tough to make a science fiction movie or novel that isn't based in human culture. If you made it truly alien, the viewers would probably not understand the drama, the motivation, the action or the point of the story.
