    like some borderline cultural appropriation white guilt stuff.

    I feel this is more telling on you tbh. Honestly as an adult I appreciate it and it’s world building. It’s does portray colonialism and does go into many other interesting topics and world values, unfortunately none of those messages hit you, I’m truly not surprised.

      I don’t think it’s them, Avatar is pretty commonly regarded as a classic example of the White Savior trope.

      It’s not about whether or not they “hit” me - they are just extremely superfluous and lacking in any depth. If you like the film that’s nice, but its take on colonialism is objectively at a primary school level with its one-dimensional bad guys and noble savages.
