Why doesn't Avatar (2009) get more credit for being pretty based politically? (hexbear.net)

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.

I mean... it's also basically just dances with wolves with blue body paint, and an extremely white saviour story. so I wouldn't go around calling it 'based'

It may be white savior, but I can't help but love that the message of the movie is "frag your commanding officer".
