Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) features prominent progressive themes like environmentalism, anti-colonialism, and indigenous harmony with nature, portraying humans as destructive invaders exploiting Pandora's resources. The Na'vi embody noble savage tropes with collectivist, eco-spiritual values, critiquing capitalism and militarism. Diverse casting (e.g., Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang) adds inclusion optics, but storytelling prioritizes spectacle and family drama over overt preaching. White savior elements persist via Jake Sully, diluting pure identity politics, yet messaging aligns with social justice undertones. Moderate woke infusion.
