Suicide fantasy in Avatar?

It was clear to me. And I loved it too.

Claiming that it harbours a suicide fantasy is a completely over the top statement of the jaundiced eye and a case of misplaced identification with the portrayed bad guys (Dr Zero: "During the big battle scene, as dinosaurs were chowing down on soldiers, the middle-aged couple seated next to me were grinning happily… delighted by the defeat and destruction of their own miserable species."). Was he happily laughing at the flying Na'vi bodies? He could have but he chose to act the victim part. Go rinse your brain out with peanut butter I'd say. Dr Zero really pays credit to his name when he jumps from his own teenager suicide fantasies to the believe that this movie is the ultimate wet dream of teenage payback time. His column being in the hardcore jerk of genre for maximum effect itself.

True the plot is exceptionally one dimensional, like most fairy tales I'd say such as Lord Of The Rings for instance. And true the plot could have been made more interesting by adding some bad to the good guys and vice versa. So what? This is a overwhelming 161 minutes performance of craftsmanship aimed at visual effect and stuffed with insane cinematographic detail. There simply is very little room for any plot at all.
