Isn't the whole hook of the avatar movies that the humans are colonizer bastards? I ain't never seen the funny blue man movie and even I know what it's about.
Yes, but they have to be saved by a white savior. Basically scifi Dances with Wolves
The white savior criticism of Avatar is somewhat fair, but is also an oversimplification in a lot of ways.
It does have a lot of similarities to Dances with Wolves in the first half, but the conclusions (fighting back vs. running away) are very different.
Does Dances with Wolves have the protagonist completely integrated into indigenous culture and society, with an indigenous wife and children? I honestly have no idea.
