- NullPrefix 4y agoHaven't seen the second, but afaik the internets are telling me it's woke enough. I was following the logic of "why change old Bond releases when you can release a new woke Bond"
- op00to 4y agoWhat does “woke” mean?
- NullPrefix 4y agoI would define woke as extremely politically correct without any regards to moral values
- op00to 4y agoWhose moral values?
- delecti 4y agoAvatar is the story of a soldier who joins a non-industrial society and fights back against the military trying to mine resources. It wasn't subtle. How about this: American soldier joins Cherokee resistance fighters and successfully defends burial ground from "liberation" force trying to tap oil reservoirs underneath the land. Okay, now the Cherokee are blue aliens, the oil is "unobtanium", and there are spaceships.
- dekhn 4y agoThe original avatar is about indigenous people (with the help of a gone-native soldier and a sympathetic scientist) using their wits to overcome a greedy military-industrial that is attempting to reap all the minerals on their planet. That certainly qualifies.
