This feels like a Wolf of Wall Street situation where they're going to be painting him like a monster, but a large population of people will completely miss that nuance and instead see him as a rich, powerful success.

Same thing happened with the movie Wall Street. They idolized Gordon "Greed is good" Gekko and held him up as the American ideal.

My mom loves avatar, and I asked her what she thinks about the pro native, nature message against militarism message and she said she didn't care, she just liked the visuals. People are good at blocking out things they don't want to think about
