I think you’re alone buddy, most of us are plotting on something else. Like money or p****.

How you be up here criticizing Disney and Hollywood, but praying for the downfall of one of the few who are pushing the limits of filmmaking?

Because it's not organic. Nobody really f***ed with avatar one, everyone saw it for the sake of it being cool technology. I've seen the film like 3 times.

Once when it dropped
Once when my aunt got her 3D TV
and once like a year or two ago.

I can barely recall the plot, like it looks pretty but it didn't spawn any kind of organic fanbase or culture around it it wasn't even merchandised until Disney bought it. It's clearly Disney trying to buy and recreate the MCU formula, and almost 10 years later!?

Why?? It's everything bad about corporate filmmaking, sure it may be "pushing the bounds of filmmaking" but it's pushing it towards the overworked outsourced CGI houses and away from the unionized practical effects houses which is a dying art that will always look better with age.

It's supposed to be set underwater but what but about the Abyss which was filmed complete underwater practically? Like I get it but Cameron has already done the fully underwater thing.

Like yes avatar has the world to be a franchise but I'd argue there is more honor to be had in a new unique IP that's not over a decade old becoming a franchise because of an organic fanbase

Avatar 1 being a hit was the definition of organic.

It's not based on a book, or a remake, or a sequel. It literally got big based off word of mouth.

It took Endgame 10 years of hype building to get close to topping it
