#avatar 2

Nah- fuck it. i think it's punk as fuck cameron got disney to bankroll his weird horny hippie childhood dream project and spend 15 years on it instead of shitting it out with CGI sweatshops and "we'll decide where they'll have this convo in post." 100% sincere, no whedon speak, no constant nods at the 4th wall, no relying on rebooted IP or extended universe for inspo. they put a whale on trial. they are putting a whale on trial for murder in avatar 3. this is a serious plot beat with zero irony. the planet is a LAN network mixed with brains and plants that also happens to be god. post-knifeplay pillow talk in the trailer. autistic teenage jesus sigourney weaver.

when else do you see pure crackhead blank-check creativity like this in mainstream hollywood anymore I fucking love avatar. i think it's stupid that this site gushes over films like Atlantis: the Lost Empire while avatar is off limits to talk about. we NEED weird ass art. take an edible, pretend you've never seen anything about these flicks, and revisit these films the same way you can for fucking twilight (a franchise with way more imo harmful content directly tokenizing and misrepresenting a REAL community of indigenous people).

this is my propaganda. Reddit chuds started whining about "no cultural impact" because a story that frontlines indigenous struggle against imperialism clashes with fashy notions of maintaining a cultural canon. If something has no cultural impact, that must mean its themes have no cultural relevance, which is why they want to pretend these movies were a massive flop so damn much. criticize the movies all you want but Jesus Christ stop using the chud revisionist line about it. it's cringe. talk about divisive art. if we don't talk, bad actors will spin it to fit their fascistic cultural narrative in any space they can, including blue people.

anyway the big bad gets pet like a dog in this one. go see fire and ass 🤚my final message
