It showed up out of nowhere, made the most bank in history (for a movie), refused to explain and disappeared for like 15 years, then came back out of nowhere with a sequel movie, a AAA game, and like 3 more movies in the works.
Edit: I think it now has like a Lego line too?
it is unapologetically in favor of preserving nature, anticapitalist, and anti military. the boys from chapo trap house like it and point out that its one of the few movies with a mainstream theatrical release in which the audience is made to cheer on the blue furry hippie throwing a bunch of US marines out of a helicopter to their death.
Anticapitalist that made over 2 Billion dollars…
It is a solid point about the irony though. It’s one of the biggest consumer capitalism things ever, even if it’s anti-capitalism they’re selling on the screen.
Why do you think the aliens are blue natives?
Because if they were white folk, the message would resonate too much with the general audience.
