    The whole story is literally a retelling of dances with wolves except the they replaced Native American with blue aliens. At the same time who cares what some rando thinks.

    This made the news in many countries, the National is a Canadian news organization

    We should care because people are getting dumber and dumber, we're headed back to being cavemen or whatever species of apes the aliens stole the DNA to make us

    It’s like people complaining about Rami Malek playing a pharaoh. We need to go back to paper only publishing and editors need to do a better job of filtering out crap stories.

    Again
    This made top news
    So @Sweet Lou 4 2 is going to stand up for the Navi

    “Join Natives & other Indigenous groups around the world in boycotting this horrible & racist film,” Yuè Begay, a Navajo artist and co-chair of     Indigenous Pride Los Angeles who is behind the campaign’s resurgence, wrote in a tweet that has been liked by more than 40,000 users. “Our cultures were appropriated in a harmful manner to satisfy some [white flag emoji] man’s savior complex.”

    People are getting desperate for controversy.

    Avatar 2 is a flop that sent Disney stock tumbling (guess being anti-woke didn't work out so well on this one). Why would indigenous people want to be a part of that? They dodged a bullet on that one.
