No one who thinks Avatar is like this has actually watched the movie

Avatar is actually art created with vision and direction. Marvel is corporate cookie cutter slop that is one step up from ai art in terms of purposeful creation.
That's definitely where it started on twitter and here. I think what happened is Felix's bit got a lot of people to actually rewatch it and since they hadn't seen it in over a decade they were surprised by how well it held up (Thats what happened with me at least). The other (more important) aspect of it would be that the sequel started to be advertised and that got a lot more people rewatching/talking about it. I'm fairly sure the latter happened first and then chapo talking about it just made it relevant in spaces we regularly use.
The other thing to consider is that you have all the other people who haven't seen it in 13 years and just kinda buy into the cultural meme about it being a bad movie that has no "cultural staying power", because they're discussing a movie from 2009 like it was released last year and everyone forgot about it.
From a love of great fucking movies

Here's the article if you want to read it. Its kinda esoteric but so is everything quantum physics puts out:
Not super paganism related I just thought it was funny.
Ok, She's a cringe lib and she's awful for doing shit like this and her pinkwashing photo op with that cop; but come on, she's nowhere near as horrible as Destiny. He's 1 scratch away from being a goose-stepping nazi, he literally called for protesters to be shot during the BLM protests because he didnt want them to hurt Biden's chances. There's just 2 different levels of bad here and K is way above D
Disco Elysium doesnt even have a story! Its just a rhythm game set to classic 70s hits.
When the devs thanked Marx for teaching them political theory when they won the game awards? That was just a funny bit!

Gods above I hate liberals.
Yes, the story about a union strike over worker ownership of their company against their cutthroat corporate owners isnt communist.
The story about the corporation that hired a group of psychopathic, genocidal, fascist, ex-military mercenaries to break said strike by any means necessary is definitely not communist.
The story literally set in a post-revolutionary failed state that has been ripped apart by imperialism and neoliberal austerity imposed by a coalition of constitutional monarchies and liberal democracies deadset on keeping their monetary system's inflation rate low at any cost, leaving in their wake a people broken and lost, with nothing to live for except the next bottle or hit? No thats not communist at all.
The story which puts you in the place of a beat cop, a member of the citizens militia left to pick up the pieces after the coalition leaves Revachol a dried up husk. The story of a man whose life is left so in tatters by his society and inability to cope with the pain and isolation he feels, he drinks himself into oblivion, forgets everything and fractures his psyche into 24 pieces? The story where nothing he does can undo his past actions and no matter how well you play, he still must contend with his own material existence as an imperfect human? Or that no matter what personal ideological stance you give him, he still does his job for the RCM and "solves" the case? Nope, absolutely no communist themes here.
"No! Communism is most certainly not a central theme to Disco Elysium! Is a story about individual identity! And community! No communism here, so stop looking for it!!!" :biden-point:
:lenin-rage: AHHHHHHHHH

Not exactly no, but he did do a thing a while ago where he started calling socialism "Super capitalism" or something. The bit was everything is "privately" owned by everyone. it was stupid idk
The patsoc bit only makes sense when its in opposition to actual Marxists on twitter because it has some leverage in that it drives people mad and they engage with it. When you remove that element from the equation their whole program just falls apart becuase the base of maga isnt working class people who can actually be brought to see communism positively, its reactionary petty bourgeoisie who, correctly, hate communism and see it as a threat to capitalism. Theres no engagement with their rhetoric on Truthsocial or irl becuase only Marxists care to understand what the fuck they're even talking about lmao

Its name Yggdrasil
A high tree sprinkled with stark white clay
From its boughs fall the dew drops
It grows ever green over Urðr's well

Could it be that these kids are literally being followed by adults with cameras on them at all times? Could it be that they're walking through cities where people don't drive ford f15,000s 30 mph over the speed limit?
No, it must be because japan is "homogenized" and makes pedo porn
