    Yes, and ironically the original Avatar was actually a pretty good example of a show that wasn’t ambiguous in its messaging. However coked up media executives are dumb and always going to take the worst interpretation of everything.

      Yeah looking at your comment I think I agree the earlier naive interpretations of “no protagonists should be bad” is dumb, but clarity is really important in media and artists do assume viewers are able to see their message too often
