wants revenge and is willing to kill people just to satisfy that
Revenge is good and it is the right of colonized peoples to seek revenge for the atrocities the colonizers inflicted upon them.
Are we really going to Marxist critique a damn kids show for not killing the bad guy?
Sure, because we can have better stories. Iron Widow is a Young Adult novel that’s about fighting systemic oppression by brutally killing the bad guys.
Disclaimer I did enjoy Avatar quite a bit and that’s why the flaws rankle me so much. There’s a lot about it that’s good. I just wish it had committed harder to supporting revolutionary liberation then undermining its own framing by libbing it up.
