Hello - this is Russia talking.
This psychotic, stupid, lying, ignorant, SEDITIOUS bimbo is so fulla shit she has to bleach her hair.
So James Cameron is an ecofascist, good to know.
Although I guess that makes sense, considering how the lore of his Avatar movies apparently states that Earth is post-fossil fuels at that point, with pollution apparently leaving renewables unusable (somehow).
Thus, the unobtainium that the plot revolves around is needed to fuel everything from spaceships to the factories that make people’s food, so while Jake Sully successfully bunks off to another planet, he’s responsible for potentially millions of people dying in the cold and dark back home.
This entire being not being included in the film itself, obviously, as Cameron was more interested ignoring nuance in favour of his simplistic homage/rip-off of 1990s environmentalism films/New Age interpretation of indigenous folk.
It’s one of those things where if you didn’t want it to be a Thing in your story, don’t include the detail.
“ “I can relate to Thanos… I thought he had a pretty viable answer,” “
._.
I feel like if your take away from genocide is “That seems like a pretty viable answer” it means you need to take a look at yourself in the mirror
he said. “The problem is nobody is going to put up their hand to volunteer to be the half that has to go.” “
No I can’t imagine anyone would, because anyone who would do something that idiotic would have to be an absolute fucking moron.“ In a previous interview, he described Avatar: The Way of Water as a response to the output of Marvel Studios and DC Studios, which he feels tend to ignore real-world concerns like parenthood. “I was consciously thinking to myself, ‘Okay, all these superheroes, they never have kids. They never really have to deal with the real things that hold you down and give you feet of clay in the real world,’” “
Ah yes those real world parenting concerns that parents have to deal with every day, like having space soldiers whose brains are occupying the bodies of bright blue space cat people trying to murder them…thank god he’s bringing some much needed realism and down to earth relatability to the fantasy genre here“All these superheroes never have kids”
Right, except for Superman, Batman, two of the Flashes, Green Arrow, Black Lightning, Luke Cage & Jessica Jones…
Oh, he meant in the movies? By Endgame Hawkeye, Ant-Man and Iron Man all have children. I will concede that there aren’t many superheroes that are mothers, although a pregnant Jessica Drew is set to be one of the heroes of Across the Spider-Verse so Cameron’s still incorrect about there being no superhero parents
His comments are especially hilarious since the Ant-Man movie that just came out has Scott and his daughter adventuring in the Quantum realm while Hope and her parents (Who are both superheroes as well) do the same
So yeah it’s a superhero adventure where one of the heroes is a parent and two of them are both parents and also grandparents XD
The Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is here to present your daily dose of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed cuteness! Easily identified by its auburn fur and tufted ears, this critter is widely distributed throughout Europe and northern Asia. Its diet primarily consists of nuts, seeds, and plant matter. Like other species of squirrel, its sense of smell is so acute that it can detect food buried under ~1 ft (0.3 m) of snow!

On this day, 20 February 1895, Black abolitionist and advocate for women’s rights who escaped slavery, Frederick Douglass, died in Washington DC aged 77. Douglass wrote his first autobiography in 1845, in which he named his former enslaver, and so he headed to Britain and Ireland, in part to avoid his former enslaver trying to reclaim his “property”. There he spent two years raising the international profile of the movement to abolish slavery. He then returned to the US and set up a newspaper, The North Star, and after the civil war fought for the rights of the poor, women, Black people, Chinese migrants and Native Americans.
