The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology through its clear allegories for anti-colonialism, environmental protection, and indigenous rights, portraying the human invaders as agents of systemic destruction and exploitation.
Avatar: The Way of Water features visible diversity within its cast, particularly among the Na'vi characters, who are presented as an indigenous-coded society. The narrative strongly critiques colonial expansion and environmental destruction, explicitly portraying the invading human forces, often led by white male antagonists, in a negative light.
The film features Neytiri, a skilled Na'vi warrior, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male RDA soldiers using a knife.
Miles Quaritch, a character established as a white human in the original film, is resurrected and portrayed in a Na'vi body. This transformation of an established character from human to an alien race constitutes a race swap.
Avatar: The Way of Water does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on family, environmentalism, and conflict without addressing queer identity in any capacity.
All returning characters from the original 'Avatar' film maintain their established genders in 'Avatar: The Way of Water.' New characters introduced in this sequel do not constitute gender swaps.
