Really spent 20 bucks and 4 hours to watch what is essentially an advertisement and prologue for the 3rd movie
Like, I really don't care about this side story between Jake Sully and Mr. Buzzcut over here that serves the sole purpose of setting up a grander 1v1 rivalry when the planet war happens next movie (which I will also not care about over the literal existential war the Na'Vi will be fighting)
There's this beautiful planet and our main character of all Na'Vi has to be Mr. Dipshit? We could've learned more about how the Na'Vi governs themselves. About all the struggles that happen in their lives, whether it be political, economical, resources, etc. How they're developing since the humans have defected and given them new technology. I would've loved to see them develop gorgeous fields of agriculture or something. But no, let's make an entire tv series about Mr. Dipshit and his half human demon breeds retiring and moving to the coast of Mexico to enjoy the beautiful sea resorts, snorkeling, and whale watching
I swear I'm not racist against humans or anything but I'm so sick of this white savior bullshit
I literally stopped watching Marvel and action movies when I was only ~15 years old because I realized I wasn't enjoying my time at all even though I was going mostly to socialize with my friends
I thought you guys were cooler than my friends. I thought you were all :based-department: That's why I trusted you and went
But it turns out it's just :LIB: up, down, left, and right
Watching Avatar felt just like watching a Marvel movie but without a superhero or supervillain
Should have asked me, I haven't seen Avatar Water World nor do I care too, hell I haven't even seen the first one because I saw Fern Gully as a kid.
I am cooler than your friends.
seriously it's cold here, can i borrow a blanket?
we told you we were libs who consume slop and like a fool you trusted us anyway
Average pollution enjoyer: you
Average Avatar enjoyer: :gigachad-hd:
I swear I’m not racist against humans or anything
I'm racist against humans. Sorry to have to tell you all this, but when aliens invade I'm totally going to help them round up humans for anal probing.
Now you get to enjoy the Chapo episode about it though. Matt gets really passionate
I think half of my enjoyment of the movie was looking at very pretty pictures on a big screen, and the other half was listening to the chapo episode.
Half of the enjoyment of most great movies is looking at very pretty pictures on a big screen. or at least used to be
Yeah Jake Sully and military man mind if suck, they're the worst part of the movie. Jake is a platonic conservative dad: he's aggressive and harsh to his kids, not very emotionally sensitive, and he's a protector who kills people to save his family from the outsiders. Blue military man is nothing but a blue military man and a setup for an overaching villain in a franchise. The best bit of the movie is the middle when the kids are learning about a new culture and finding the cool ass space whales
how can he be a white savior when his skin is blue :thinkin-lenin:
He had a spinal injury fighting in imperialist wars on Earth, and while the technology existed to fix him up, the government wouldn't pay for it.
It was, but I think that was entirely his choice. I remember his original body almost died near the end of the first movie when he was exposed to Pandoran atmosphere for too long, but to me it looked like he made a pretty much full recovery a few minutes after Neytiri put the mask on him.
You joke, but I've seen someone on here make that exact argument in earnest.
This post is officially not approved by card carrying Navi patriots. Take your RDA garbage and stick it where the sun don’t shine you useless Sa’Nok.
Imagine watching a shaky cam instead of being patient for the Blu-ray rips.
The proper way to see Avatar is in a theater in glorious 3D and getting as high as possible while still being able to make it to your seat.
I would do this but the shit quality of cam rips gives me headaches
Me every time I decide to give a cam a chance instead of waiting :this-is-fine:
I swear cams used to be better, what happened to people just directly ripping the feed from in the projector room?
Lmao are you seriously angry someone recommended a movie and you didn't like it
No this is just a bit. I feel no anger, just disappointment that I keep succumbing and watch a Hollywood blockbuster movie once every few years because people keep raving about it and end up disliking it every time
Whenever someone recommends me something to watch, play or listen I feel betrayed like they sold me a used car.
Lol yeah it was always going to be garbage, you got owned. 99% of the praise I've seen is for the special effects, so if you don't care about the spectacle there's nothing for you there.
The Na'vi take the noble savage trope to the point of caricature. It's kind of a package deal with the whole white saviour bullshit and it carries the exact same baggage. I'm not sure you'd like a movie about their systems of government and daily struggles and whatnot because it'd also be premasticated settler-colonial bullshit.
The only correct way to watch Avatar is to enjoy the visuals and escapism that are presented between all the shitty screenwriting
