    I think this is the first time I’ve seen avatar mentioned in nearly a year. Weird how a movie series that popular generates so little discussion.

      It’s because the movie is entirely about people of color (blue)

      I mean, a lot of people spent a lot of time discussing the first one, it just boiled down to

        Sci-fi Pocahontas is more accurate, but yeah, there’s just not much to talk about beyond the effects.
