You see that's why I call Avatar manipulative. The whole idea behind District 9 was that the alien beings were unnattractive and "alien", not Blue tribal people that we immediately empathize with because of our own checkered history in relation to dealing with them on Earth. That's daring on the part of District 9 because it forces the viewer to think and reflect on how you see the world and those in it, whereas Avatar is just childish, exploitative filmmaking, designed to make as much money as possible.
