By jonathan | Published: April 25, 2013

A.V.A.T.A.R. is biting remixed critique of Hollywood’s repeated use of the Might Whitey trope in which white heroes save oppressed and exotified people of color. Craig Saddlemire also created a highly critical mashup of Zack Snyder’s blockbuster film 300 which we have posted about before. He writes: A.V.A.T.A.R.
