Question 1

Is Avatar: The Way of Water woke?

Accepted Answer

Avatar: The Way of Water has a woke score of 78/100, which means it is heavily driven by woke themes. The movie pushes anti-colonial and environmental activist themes the whole way through. The Sully family fights human colonizers from the RDA corporation who invade to destroy Pandora’s oceans and hunt sacred tulkun whales for profit. Na’vi live in perfect spiritual harmony with nature and Eywa while humans are shown as greedy exploiters ruining everything. James Cameron frames pregnant Na’vi warriors as female empowerment. The narrative engine is constant resistance to capitalist resource extraction and colonial violence.
