You guys.. I am honestly embarrassed for humanity right now. I was in high school when the first Avatar came out, young and naive, and I'd forgotten most of the first movie.. I sat for 3 hours and became more and more confused, embarrassed and disgusted with what they had done and created with Avatar. If you are going to create a new species on a new PLANET, fine. But they created these blue people, gave them weird accents that came from who knows where (and the accents in the families didn't even match. It was insane. All over the place.) and gave them characterstics from OUR PLANET. Cultural, societal, behavioral, and styles from OUR PLANET. A random confusing mixture of indiginous, African, pacifican Islander, Maui.. sooo many others. Representing our entire planet... except white people, no fashions or accents or behaviors from white people. Because somehow the most far out, crazy, alien thing these producers could come up with for a new species on a different PLANET- were ALL these other people- except white. Because somehow in their twisted mind, they might as well be another species. And people all over America are going and blowing up the world with positive reviews because "WOW! Avatar! Beautiful world! Beautiful people!" And turn a blind eye to the incredible lack of any insight to the humanity on this planet and the real people who are still alive today who are NOT aliens on another planet. I will say the ocean scenes were beautiful and mesmerizing. But our oceans here our beautiful enough. And we've yet to discover 99% of our actual ocean on our real planet. I don't need to ever associate myself with avatar again. I'm SO so embarrassed.
