Should we be happy that someone has died?
Generally, no.
But people like Graham, they often only leave politics when they die, and considering all the shitty things, all the spineless promises he has made, and broken, in service to that other guy?
Perhaps we should leave it only at two words; "Ding dong..." -

Now you no longer have to, because that's exactly what avatar 3 is.
I finally got around to seeing this (never got a chance in theatres, not for lack of trying, busy life) and I would disagree, it's more certainly a continuation of the story that played out in 1 and 2,
Spoiler
I think these movies are best when they immerse you in the world and culture on a slice-of-life level where you almost forget it's a fiction story. When the boys and Tiseya are riding the Tulkun it feels like a BBC documentary.
Also, I'm not sure I'd call some of the best work Weta have ever done "Generative AI" really. I found the effects in this to be nigh-exquisite.
If I had one complaint it would be that Edie Falco is not at all scary as the General of the human forces, and that Parker (Ribisi's RDA head character) doesn't feel as much of an entity here...but then he's always been greyer as a character, not fully evil...
Otherwise, we enjoyed it. I hope 4 and 5 get made as I think the story needs a solid ending and I think that needs to start to happen in the 4th...I know that Cameron said that Neytiri ends up on a human ship and sees what happened to earth in the 4th film and that changes the series in big ways.
I didn't like 3, because it just cemented the lesson from the second movie, which is that in the future, apparently humanity has become technologically advanced alongside becoming dumber and dumber.
They were acting like idiots all throughout the movie. I know they're (we're) the villains, but is it too much to ask to have a bad guy who's some kind of intelligent?
The stupidity of the first movie can be, if not forgiven, then at least understood. They didn't really know what, exactly, they were dealing with. Not really. So they stormed in fully cocked, and got their collective asses handed to them. In the second, they just kept being stupid, albeit along different angles.
And in the third movie? Hey, let's do the same thing we've been doing all along. Nevermind it didn't work before, nevermind our people keep getting slaughtered and Earth is dying, nevermind that we're supposed to be professionals. No, let's just have General Sir Anthony Mahogany Melchett's spirit do all our planning for us. -

At this point in time, if you're a republican voter in the United States? You are not a good person. You simply are not! You are actively enabling corruption and evil.
But I think for a lot of them their morality includes the following sacred tenets:
1. Taxes are evil
2. Trump is Go*-Emperor
3. Government should reward their in-group, which they believe is Trump's in-group; and it should punish out-groups which they villify or which compete with them
... so to them this might all seem very moral.
Personally, I'm way past the point where I can accept that this is some "the-villain-always-thinks-he's-right" kind of thing. I definitely believe that these people know that what they are supporting is wrong, but they don't care because it hurts their perceived enemies.
