It is way more woke than the first one! Typical antiWhite agenda.
This guy (in link below) sums the movie up if you want to talk about the movie to people who are sleep and cant see the antiWhite agenda.

Great movie, with no hidden agendas.
You have to expect environmental and native population displacement topics to be central themes going into a movie like this. That was present in the first movie and is about the same in this movie. As long as you keep that in mind, I was pleasantly surprised that no completely out-of-theme or culturally irrelevant or immersion-jarring agendas were pushed in this movie.
As far as villains, there was representation from both male and female. I imagine a hundred years or so into in the future that this would be an appropriate ratio. However, most villains were white, although there was a couple Asians throw into the mix. There were no other races cast as villains. I imagine that was the safe bet so as to not get too much woke media complaint.
Overall, very pleased. Thank you, James Cameron!

Don't dwell on aspects of this movie you can argue are woke
This movie is about family family family. HETEROSEXUAL FAMILIES. Some of the strongest men characters and themes of fathers being indispensable that I've ever seen in a movie. But I'm supposed to care that not enough bad guys were non-white? Stop looking for things to offend you! The enemy here is the all powerful govt and the good guys here are the strong family unit. Don't shy away from this movie if you're conservative.

Not Woke, and Balanced with Themes
Some say this film is woke but I disagree. In fact, the film is balanced with themes of traditional, conservative gender roles, the men were allowed to lead, tribes had rules to 'not be useless' and to pull your own weight. There are some tropes like capitalism = bad, but they're balanced with themes that the right side of the isle would champion. Remember this movie was written a decade ago before Hollywood lost its brains.

Visually Stunning. No Wokeness
I wouldn't say this is a great movie. But it is visually stunning!
Regarding it being woke or not... It is a movie that shows strong men leading their families and tribes, highlights the importance of the families to stay strong and united and does not have any agenda. Wokeness? Not at all. Zero. Nada.

Ignore trolls/bots/NPCs saying it isn't woke
Anyone who thinks this is not woke can't be serious.
The first movie(White man joins blue people to fight his own people) is woke enough and the sequel increases the wokeness by a lot.
Possibly the people who can't see it could watch some of Black Pilled's videos of analyzing propaganda in films. Even if you can't see it yet that doesn't make it go away for those who can. It is like having They Live sunglasses on.

Testosterone
James Cameron made a comment on testosterone which is enough for me to form my opinion on this woke film

Fantastic movie / strong values / zero wokeness
Avatar the way of water promotes traditional family (a man, a woman and their kids), the respect of animals although they can be killed to feed life, and the importance for migrants to be usefull when they are accepted in a new society.

Standard woke tropes underpin an over-produced mediocre film.
This film is replete with anti colonialism, anti European, anti capitalist messages. It also seems to be one very long exercise in whitewashing the nature of indigenous and First Nations peoples in the Americas; the allegory is clear, the natives were peaceful environmentalists, and evil capitalist white men came and ruined everything. Yawn.

Not anymore woke than the 1st
They didn't inject any gay characters. The casting choice for general was super odd and a DIE hire though. Had a good balance between both sides. Great SFX.

Think for yourself
In the first Avatar, the bad guys are men trying to pave the way for a mining project. The good guys are based on Native Americans defending their land. It's written by James Cameron, a super woke director, to convey his pantheism (Earth-worshipping) worldview. It's a lot like Dances with Wolves, where the main character "goes native" and joins them against his own people. Real life is not as simple as this narrative. In some situations, mining and oil projects help indigenous people with jobs and prosperity they'd not otherwise have. This one seems to be a continuation of the anti-colonial pantheist vision, which demonizes white men and glorifies natives.

Not woke but an extremely boring sequel that adds nothing new
If you have watched the first Avatar and didn't like it, you most definitely won't like this one either. If you liked the original, this is the same movie but with whales.
The movie is about humans killing nature and specifically whales, those animals being this film's gimmick. That's about the whole summary of the movie yet it continues for over 2 hours and half of it is boring scenes like children playing in water, children playing on the beach, their parents arguing on the beach, jezus christ that was a mind-numbingly boring picture.
They brought back the tough evil commander from the first film so Jake can kill the tough evil commander a 2nd time and that was the end goal of the movie. This is similar to how Star Wars directors blow up another Death Star whenever their creativity reaches 0 which is pretty often but rethreading the exact same plot of the first film, but with whales, is a rock new bottom for Hollywood.
The only redeeming qualities of this picture are the importance of family and there was a minor, extraordinarily tiny character development in the commander's son who starts to care slightly for his father by the end. No other character had development and they ended up the same as when they started which along with the plot repeating the first movie makes this an extremely dull experience. If this plays on TV while you cook or clean and you throw a look or two from time to time, this may make it palatable but being stuck in a cinema for 2.5/3 hours or getting this on home video and watching whales and mediocre Rambo sequences with blue aliens for characters which are as one-dimensional as when they started is a sure way to numb your brain.
