Avatar is a dressed up Captain Planet turd. In a previous post it was addressed as just sucking, but sucking wasn’t enough. Avatar is a gateway into the cartoon liberal mind that sees all primitive peoples as kind and benevolent creatures who love nature and are strict anti-capitalists.
It is a a middle aged liberal’s last hurrah to say that Western civilization is based upon slaughter and that the people our ancestors murdered were basically perfect.
This worship of people slightly more evolved than monkeys is a curious turn in the last thirty years. Why is it that the modern liberal must delude themselves with this fantasy that primitive equals moral or righteous? The same people who cultivate these delusions will lash out at a Christian and declare that such beliefs are ridiculous and illogical. Yet in their minds they believe that Europeans came to a paradise and ruined it.
If you want your dose of a dressed up Captain Planet episode, then Avatar is for you. If you want a taste of what Western explorers ran into, then see Apocalypto.
