    As I seem to have to say in all of these threads about avatar since hating on them has become some kind of personality.

    Hi yeah I really enjoyed the both movies and looking forward to the third one. I have watched both in theaters and own physical copies of both and probably the third.

    14 year olds in 2010 were pointing out its Pocahontas, it’s not wrong but it’s not rocket science to know the point and budget of these movies is the tech used to build and render the world which sets the standard for movies for years to come.

    Would love to hear any original thoughts if you have any

      Shitty movie gets hyped by the media because it has a famous name attached to it, millions of people get dragged by someone to go watch it because of the overhyped nature, millions of people now hate it.

      It’s not a personality, it’s just a shared shitty experience that many of us have.

      Lol, Im supposed to like it because it’s a 4 hour long tech demo for CGI that’s slightly better than it was the year before?

        As someone who didn’t enjoy the first movie and didn’t see the second one, both of you have valid opinions but only one of you is pushing the idea that the movie is objectively shitty. It’s not objectively anything, and you don’t have to yuck anyone else’s yum.

          You’re not wrong, but I went off on it because the person I’m replying to pushed the idea that people were hating on it because it was their personality as opposed to hating on it for its flaws.

            Your initial criticism wasn’t even that it was bad, just that it was shallow, which is an objective truth. The triggered minority who identify as blue cat people don’t want to live in reality with the rest of us though, so they have to come up with these cope reasons like “you’re just a hater” or “you’re just too dumb to understand it”. Like you can enjoy the franchise and not pretend it has more depth or symbolic value than it actually does, there is nothing wrong with enjoying some light entertainment. People always have to make these things their entire personality now though, so any valid critique immediately gets twisted into a personal attack.
