To be fair, a woman sleeping with anyone who is not her license-designated lover / owner is interpreted in Hollywood to be an act of rebellion.
Outside the US, in the industrialized world, IRL, it’s just normal.
But it’s more Avatar is Dances With Wolves, or Fern Gully. The story is backwards to be Pocahontas
I agree, but what you mean with story is backwards?
Dances with Wolves and The Last Samurai and Avatar are white soldiers who integrate themselves into some “exotic” (that is, non European) culture and slowly adopt their ways and renounce their previous military loyalties. Then they are called upon to take up arms and coordinate tactics against their former side.
Pocahontas as told in the movie is more of a woman who learns to play peacemaker. There’s not that much cultural exchange, and nobody switches sides to fight against their former team.
Pocahontas as actually happened, historically, is more the story of a native teenager kidnapped, forcibly converted to Christianity and married off to bear a child, and paraded around England as a novelty, until she died far away from her home at the age of 20, maybe 21.
Two guys going up a mountain to destroy a ring. “The return of the King” and “Brokeback Mountain”.
And both are terrible movies.
In today’s episode of “Horrible Opinions”: Yours.
They also fuck in both.
There is no fucking taking place in the entirety of human or elf history. It just doesn’t happen, never did, never will.
What about Orcs?
That is chef’s kiss ngl
Basically the result of Morgoth going Full Metal Alchemist / Unit 731 on some elves he captured in the dark.
Uruk-Hai were Sauron’s Orcs v2, and it’s implied those were made via dark magic assisted cross breeding. between orcs and men…
Good thing then that these are cowboys and hobbits.
you need frodo or the ring?
invisible, visible, invisible, visible
Sauron: please stop
wonder how often Gollum fucked the ring
Egh.
OK, to be fair, Tramp was a dog, not a man.
Still, yeah, the plots are similar enough that James Cameron might as well have just put bookends on this about a boat and been good to go.
Tramp was a sapient dog, which I think counts
Don’t insult dogs like that!
They said Tramp with an a. Not a u.
Tramp with a u makes a pedophile out of u.
Lol, sorry! Didn’t realize which conversation that was in when I replied.
Mamma mia!

It can’t be. Neal Degrasse Tyson said the night sky was historically inaccurate for that period. /s
The what? What is that, a building?
The Titanic ended up floating as well as a building.
I am not an architect. I’m sorry, I cannot give my opinion or force the structure to feel it needs to change, just to fit my narrative.
What is this show, sir?
Phineas and Ferb. That’s Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Gotcha!
It’s either that Cameron seems to have been influenced strongly by Disney or the archetypes and symbolism in popular stories.
Lady asked to be painted like a French poodle?
Movies released in 2015 in which Judy Greer is a divorcée to a man named Scott
