I didn’t hear it first hand but from what everyone in that initial thread was saying it’s pretty crazy the Chapos were giving it praise. Avatar is a great example of how devoid of opposition US media had in the 00’s. The movie looked cool and all, and was definitely anti imperialist, but it was basically blue Pocahontas, but even worse because the John Smith character in Avatar became king of the natives instead of going the fuck home like John Smith did at the end of Pocahontas.

Just to put it in perspective, the most subversive film the chapos could think of was a rehash of a movie made in '95 and almost a decade after the US had invaded the middle east lmfao
