Another chud

It should be noted that the typical Hollywood diversity in casting is, SHOCKINGLY, missing when it comes to human colonists, who are essentially all white and even referred to as “pink-skins” by Na’vi.

Which I’m sure means nothing :)) a very innocent creative choice :)))))

Damn right, face the wall cracker owned

Lol at acting like the humans in Avatar are supposed to be a subtle allegory for wypipo. Extremely astute observation, pointdexter.

They spent 400 million dollars for a movie's climax to be slaughtering humans wholesale in some of the most gruesome ways possible.

yes-chad waow-based

There's no anti-Avatar movie franchise to go to instead.

The arts and what they say are important.

chuds: erm, arts are for naive bleeding heart lefties. the logical and factual life path to follow is going into trades or STEM. if you don’t you deserve to starve smuglord

also chuds: wojak-nooo noooo, actually The arts and what they say are important! we need more epicly redpilled ubermensch going to film school to study feelings!

If they're that upset about imaginary humans being killed in a film, wait 'til they hear what's happening to real humans in Palestine

Sooooo… don’t go to the movies then? Obviously the whole take is hot garbo but if you don’t like the movies on tap at the moment in the theaters, there’s a bajillion other modes of entertainment to pursue. Peak treatler entitlement that the market must always have their preferred slop front and center at all times.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Also if you like the American military you can literally just wait for the next MCU flick or whatever.

I just saw that CBS is gonna have a literal CIA show, it’s just called CIA. If they want their “askhully subjugating the natives for the imperial core is good” they can just watch that crap.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago

Unfortunately that show will be woke because some of the CIA officers will be black and some will even be...female.

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.

It is so fascinating how CHUDs will coopt and repurpose leftist ideas and concepts, but entirely without class consciousness or understanding, they just parrot these terms with no curiosity, no analysis. Very much the Socialism of Fools.

Oh suddenly pop culture has ideological meaning and reinforces damaging narratives and it's is actually "that deep"? The hypocrisy would be funny if it wasn't so trite at this point.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago (10 children)

Ok, now I’ll bite. Why does Hollywood entertain these obviously proletariat films even circling around? Performative self-deprecation? The rich saying “yeah. We kind of suck.” is some defensive move? It still shapes culture to be against the ruling class and subverts white supremacy. This is unabashedly an anti-settler film?

There’s no way people except us would watch this and see their sacred cows be the bad guys eating shit.

What are they playing at?

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 75 points 4 months ago (2 children)

joyce-messier Capital has the ability to subsume all criticisms into itself... even those who would critic capital end up reinforcing it instead.

They're selling movie tickets. You purchase the feeling of shattering the grand illusion. Then the next day you go back to work.

Every single person in the world could watch RRR, The Battle of Algiers, Battleship Potemkin, Soy Cuba, or your other favorite revolutionary films and it won't do much more than let them enjoy the feeling of resistance (and really believe that they are in the movie, beating the bad guys) but they still have to go to work tomorrow. Media like this just works as a release valve so that people can allow their screens to perform activism on their behalf. Social media (Hexbear included) can perform the same role. It's a simulacrum of actually doing something that substitutes the real thing.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago

Capital subsumes and commodifies everything including the criticism of capitalism.

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago

Its not proletarian. Its James Cameron's radlib noblesse oblige mixed with his teenage deviant art portfolio.

[–] MelianPretext@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 4 months ago (5 children)

It's the "They killed someone, but they did it for a good reason" versus "They did it for a good reason, but they killed someone" sleight of hand.

You can adopt any concept and so long as you have total discourse, media and educational dominance like the modern West does, which prevents any serious counter-narratives from spreading, it will still serve your interests as long as you frame it correctly.

I haven't watched this latest instalment but I bet eventually, one of the dramatic narrative arcs will be that, caught up by the atrocities that the humans commit against the indigenous people, one of the protagonist's children/friends/loved one will allow their "emotions to understandably get the better of them" and start to "fight fire with fire" beyond the protagonist's moral comfort level. They'll have a conflict. The plot will then contrive its way to affirm that the character who took things too far was wrong and that the protagonist was right to be conflicted. Nia Frome coined this trope as "The Swerve"

Here's another on: I bet at the end of this box office revenue milk farm of a series, the indigenous population will either work out an understanding with the humans so that the latter can continue to exploit the land under an "equal partnership" or the last scene will be the humans realizing their fault, and one of them nodding to the protagonist before embarking on the departing ship, without the fight ever being taken to Earth itself.

No revenge, no reparations, no reprisals, no blowback. You don't need to forgive, but you must forget. Peace is contingent on the victim unilaterally promising everything that's happened is water under the bridge and the colonizer walking away in confidence that this chapter has been closed and a new leaf imposed (which is to say, the colonizer will get to enjoy the position of "victim" if the victim ever wants to unilaterally revisit the issue). That would be one of many ways in how to create a pro-colonial "anti-colonial" narrative.

These aren't proletarian films and they do not threaten the status quo. They are a release valve to let people feel satisfaction at the idea of rebellion without encouraging rebellion or educating on rebellion. I have nothing against Avatar, but it absolutely is not some sort of problem to capitalism that capitalism has turned a blind eye to.

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (9 children)

Why does Hollywood entertain these obviously proletariat films

Ok, but is Avatar even a proletarian film franchise? Yeah, one the one hand, the colonized natives kill space Americans, but it's also about a white guy who literally comes to inhabit an indigenous body and proves himself to be a better native than the actual natives.

Also they're dogshit movies. The first one was kinda neat, if you saw it in 3D, in 2009, but beyond that they're forgettable as hell ¯\(ツ)

Wait the do the Navi for real massacre humans in this? If so I am now a huge Avatar fan. By the third movie of this bullshit you should absolutely be rounding up these fuckers and putting them in the Pandora equivalent of the Barbara Pit. Id love to see extractive colonists get their skulls caved in by a 12 foot tall cat who's fist is the size of your torso. Sounds cathartic af.

Damn - the first avatar put me off the series cause of serious white savior bs but if there's just a fuckton of settler murder in this one I might actually watch it

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

James Cameron went hard with the settler murder porn at the end of the second movie and he doubled down again in the third.

For context, this is the villain of the second movie: PROJ-PHNX

You always get a clear shot of him and his Project Phoenix patch before he orders a native village burnt.
