    Avatr is about capitalism

    That wasn’t glaringly obvious to everyone?

        Some people are dense enough that “the point” is the name of a baseball bat you have to go get to get it across.

        It was also about the poor soldiers getting used to further capitalism.

        Honestly, though…. That military wasn’t very credible. Half their aircraft you could disable by dumping buckets of pebbles into the fans.

      Well it’s literally Pocahontas in space so more obvious comparison is to the colonialism. They could grow gardens and farms while destroying the natives, the movie would have been the same.

        1. Colonialism was driven by capitalism

        2. They weren’t settling land - they were setting up a mining operation.
