Unfortunate. We finally get a movie that isnt Marvel, with a strong pro-father and pro-family message ("A father protects," "this family is our fortress" etc), with a white male (blue actually) lead, where the entire plot revolves around the strength of the nuclear family and parents love for their children, and people dont turn out for it.
Notice how the family are a bunch of non-white indigenous people? That gives them a lot more leeway in what kind of culture they can have, even if it includes things lefties hate about white culture (or more accurately, things they accuse white culture of having). Case in point: they vaunt endlessly for Islam, despite it being one of the most downright misogynist, homophobic, murderous, rapacious, genocidal, slave-driving, and theologically-driven civilizations in the world. Purely because its practitioners are brown. I guarantee you, Jamie boy would balk at any story that portrays fatherhood and family in an idyllic light if the characters were white.
Similarly, notice how all the bad guys in Avatar are white humans?
