oh no cameron designed aliens that look sympathetic to a contemporary audience so that it would be more effective at centering an alternate perspective how dare he

lmao "centering an alternative perspective" they made the aliens look like that so they could spend millions on zoe saldana mocap and have cute poster mascots to sell more tickets

It also had the white main character essentially be a helpless rube who is forced into doing the right thing, while the actual hero of the story was a bug alien.

the present day military was considered kind of a joke in the 80s. it's where you got sent in lieu of jail time for your first serious conviction as an adult

The Ewoks as Vietcong is something that completely flew over my head till my mid 20s

Didn't that change by the late 80s thanks to Reagan?

That would be a lot of fun, although you'd have to let The Black Prince get randomly and unexpectedly struck down by the plague to keep him from breaking the game.

it was so good they failed to capitalize on the obvious sequel they were setting up with district 10. nice try though to pull an oceans eleven and just come out with endless movies because it’s already got numbers in the title. no thanks
