Seven problematic films that are yet to be cancelled

Avatar (2009)

Can you a cancel a film that’s all but forgotten? I challenge you to name one character besides Sully (the protagonist, whom you’ve probably forgotten as well). Yet when the woke charge comes, it’ll take Avatar in its wake. After all, what is it but a colonial guilt fantasy with a white saviour character to save the day? The indigenous Na’vi people are losing their ancestral lands to an American corporation that wants to mine their planet’s materials, but only Sully, an employee of that very corporation can help save them.

Its dated forebear Dances With Wolves can go with it, as well as The Blind Side, where a poor black boy can only become a successful American football player through the help of a rich white woman. Top marks for Avatar’s fossil fuel-raped earth and anti-capitalist rhetoric though – we humans really are awful!

Ace Ventura Pet Detective (1994)
