The villains are obviously based on the US/colonialists/capitalists, like in the previous one. The little difference is that the movie strongly establishes them as pieces of shit, so it can take a more sadistic attitude towards them during action scenes. Like, there are a lot of more grusome deaths against basic soldiers than usual, and I was really like “AHAH DIE COLONIZER”. Very cathartic, and great spectacle overall.
I mean I think in general the message is kill the evil bastards who are killing this planet and these people, but like it feels like a English guy in India falls in love with an Indian woman and saves a village from destruction because the locals just weren’t smart enough to come up with a true solution but he is type story mixed with anti imperialist, kill the soulless mega corporation story. That’s how I felt it was anyways. I enjoyed the movie, and am excited for the sequel because Jake is like a fully assimilated person now so I am hoping we get more indigenous ingenuity and power, maybe I’m off base idk.
I think it’s a valid point
