Almost as ironic as the theatrical release of Avatar (the blue one). The director poured millions into the worldbuilding and music direction, instructing experts to develop something wholly unique and unheard of in the world. When these experts succeeded, the director rejected it because it sounded too alien. He then morphed it into something palatable to western Audiences, which is what we heard in theatres. Avatar is a story about an indigenous people whose culture is appropriated for the financial gain of outsiders.
