I think the reason why the Avatar films make so much money despite not being remembered by most people when they leave the theater is because the Avatar films are kind of like an amusement show that comes only once a year (for example). At that amusement show, you might have fun on a rollercoaster but once the ride is over, you leave the amusement show and don't really think about any of that until you go to that amusement show again one year later. The Avatar movies are kind of like that, because they haven't really been franchised out into oblivion with toys, comic books, video games, etc. For the most part, the Avatar franchise is just the Avatar films and nothing more. In my opinion, that actually ADDS to the soul of the Avatar franchise. The Avatar films are event films that are meant to be experienced on the big screen and most of the enjoyment that comes from watching them comes from watching them for the FIRST time. People say the Avatar movies don't have any so-called 'cultural impact', but what does 'cultural impact' even MEAN nowadays? It means shallow things like dialogue that was created specifically to be turned into flavour-of-the-month internet memes that are spread on social media and Funko Pops. That's it. The Avatar movies aren't made with those shallow things in mind. The Avatar films don't really have any deep lore (especially beyond the films) because they're not actually trying to, because they're simple films containing timeless tropes BY DESIGN. The Avatar films are pro-family, pro-masculinity, pro-fatherhood, pro-environment and pro-faith. And that's based. I always love the Avatar films no matter what.
