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 these movies don't have any so-called 'cultural impact', but what does 'cultural impact' even MEAN nowadays? It means shallow things like Funko Pops and dialogue that was created specifically to be turned into flavour-of-the-month internet memes that are spread on social media. That's it. These movies aren't made with those shallow things in mind. The Avatar films don't really have any deep lore 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.
They portray a cohesive alien world with cohesive human sci-fi tech and both of them are pretty cool. Also they tell the story seriously without making retarded quips every 2 minutes. The action also feels very visceral and tense compared to other big blockbusters.I love Avatar even though the second one disappointed me in several ways. I think I'll the third one more based on the trailers and clips and the kind of vibe they are giving me.

>>216033662OP here, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I love Avatar because of its sincerity and not making Marvel-style retarded quips every 2 minutes certainly helps with that (like you rightfully said). I think the third one will be the best one because it'll flip the whole 'Navis good, humans bad' thing to make things more nuanced and less predictable.>>216033854I couldn't care less troon, I'm just glad you bumped the thread. lol
>>216033408Based and it'll be a wonderful Christmas
>>216033408Almost everyone treats the Avatar movies more like an experience rather than just being movies.Going to the cinema to see them on the big screen and in 3D is an experience, and releasing them at the end of year just adds to it, like the last big event of the year from the industry.That's why they make so much money.
>>216033408There are Avatar toys, comic books and video games tho
>>216035470OP here, I completely agree with you.
