>$2.8 billion worldwide >highest grossing movie of all time >almost 7 years later, absolutely zero impact on popular culture >just made 3D movies a part of the cancer in Hollywood
Seriously, with the amount of money it made you would think it would have some kind of cultural relevance even 7 years later but there is none. No one references it. There is no character that everyone loves or catch phrase everyone remembers. It has almost completely disappeared from the pop culture consciousness.
What the fuck went wrong?
Brandon Roberts
Everyone got over the 3d and special effects, which left it as an ok action movie with a unmemorable generic plot
Joseph Anderson
it was a shitty tech demo with a bland starter pack of a story.
Matthew Hernandez
Capeshit happened. Name ONE movie in the last decade that's had mainstream cultural relevance that isn't a capeshit. Avatar will always be a gem of geekinographie, but it'll remain niche until Avatar 2 happens, and the hype brings the normies back to its mythos.
Brayden Green
I reference it all the time with my friends, specially the "You will never be one of the people", it comes up a lot when im making fun of hipsters and fags who maintain Marvel and disney as being the better company.
I loved Quaritch as a Character and Neytiri was pretty cool, also I liked Rodriguez character was actually cute.
Catchphrases: "You're not in kansas anymore", "you will never be one of the people".
The only reason 3D movies are cancer is because Jews tried to cash in cheaply with the their brown and grey movies. If they actually tried to make something interesting and in 3D it might work but instead we get lazers for x-wings fired in our face.
Also cant wait for 2,3,4 of this movie the planet was amazing and lush.

Are we counting Star Wars? If so then Mad Max: Fury Road. It was so popular the anime Osomatsu-San parodied it.
Josiah Gutierrez
TFA is less than a year old and people already forgot about it. Fury Road was memetastic, I'll give you that. The whole WITNESS ME and other memes normies love.

Not even an Avatar fanboy but yeah, capeshit really came in and stomped over everything.

It's a fun af, absolutely beautiful and slightly flawed movie. Now fuck off back to nureddit.

It boosted the 3D gimmick, kiddo. And unlike most post converted 3D movies, James Cameron shot it in actual 3D cameras that were built by his own design.
Bentley Smith
Do you equate quotability to memes?
Adam Clark
slow news day
look it up
Camden Howard
how does that apply to this
Jackson Reed
>There is no character that everyone loves
Jordan Brown
i literally don't even remember his name
Carson Nelson
>MM:FR
Literally no one talks about this anymore. The memes for this lasted a lot less than the greatest movie of all time that changed cinema forever.
Dylan Torres
We have to go deeper
James Rogers
This guy was absolutely hilarious. That gif of him sipping coffee is so absurdly stupid.
Aaron Young
Quaritch
If you cant remember his name it's beause you're trying your hardest not to like it because all your hipster friends dont like it.
Its ok I dont remember one single name from MAry SUes episode 7 as well
Hudson Jones

If you love that character I feel bad for you son.

>le no cultural impact
Nothing has cultural impact anymore. The Force Awakens, Jurassic World....
These movies are hyped, come out, and everyone just instantly moves on.
Matthew Thompson
So a film needs to have cultural impact to be deemed good? Shame about Marvel films then
Henry Diaz
retards think inception is anything within something similar. It is a stupid part of mainstream culture, but its there. The other 3 are nothing though.
Daniel Brooks
I hope the sequels are in-name only and uses other planet and species because the ones from the original sucked.
Oliver Jackson
things move too fast nowadays attention spans are at an all time low
Henry Cook
>Scott Pilgrim
Whilst I love that movie it's just a bundle of pop culture references held together with duct tape.
If anything it stole rather than gave.
Carter Diaz
Sadly, this. The only recent thing I can think of that had some sort of cultural impact was capeshit. Dark Knight. Avengers. It's depressing.
Nathaniel Roberts
Ones from the original were great, let's see how he builds upoin them, if we get some hench Mane lions that look like warriors i might give this a go
Oliver Scott
I still meme this. I teach kids and when we're outside and they tell me theyre thirsty, I tell them not to become addicted to water
Carter Lee
rewatched it and its shit
shut the fuck up asshole theres literally been no good capeshit films
Ethan Brooks
harry potter and it grossed more than most of the marvel films until recently because they have 20 something now

Fury Road was MEDIOCAH!

>What the fuck went wrong
A military force losing to the fucking jungle is what went wrong. What kinda of faggot ass shit was that ending?
>a cripple turns his back on his own species to be a blue person Sure I can understand, he's getting pussy and he has legs >fuck it kill everything with our advanced as fuck weapons >somehow the "Forest," Is defending itself >animals not running away after that massive fire storm attack
A better ending would have been Jake dying, doing that transformation shit and the humans taking over the tree. That would have made #2 more sense with the tree people trying to take it back.
Matthew Clark
Shitty rehashed plot, with no emotionally relevant characters.
Just really bad.
Dominic Howard
Only good character coming through.
Ethan Young
Why is this? What changed?
David Thomas
I don't get it either. Titanic is at least referenced/parodied a lot. With Avatar there's nothing.
Christopher Hall
Desu desu

>the bad guys should've won >:(
Andrew Phillips
I still like it as just a sci-fi movie. I know the reason everyone saw it was the pretty colors and and seeing 3D actually done decently and everything, but I personally always just liked it because it had some cool sci-fi stuff; like how they had the budget to make the aliens kind of different (even if it was just that they were really tall), or the neat mechs they had, and how the interstellar spaceship looked kind of realistic.
As for why it's not remembered, it's because it had a bog standard plot. It's not that people felt cheated by it though, they just didn't enjoy it for that reason, instead they enjoyed it for what it was and moved on. I believe that everyone saying a sequel wouldn't do nearly as well because the buzz has wound down are underestimating people's affection for it. If and when James Cameron decides to create a sequel all he has to do is do the same thing bigger and better, then the marketing machine starts up and before you know it Avatar 2 is all anyone's talking about. Screencap this post.
Jackson Cox
Do you think they will actually get around to making the sequels? What's taking so long?
Jacob Harris
Honestly I think cameron is just waiting until he comes up with enough cool shit to stick in the movie. He can take his time because he knows avatar's appeal isn't dependent on constantly keeping people's attention.
Easton Ramirez
James Cameron is like a really good shit. You can't remember it a day later.

Jonathan Allen
Yeah, Titanic had the song, the "I'm king of the world", the necklace thing, Billy Zane references and many more.
Avatar, only that it was in 3D and the repetitive plot of Pocahontas, et al.
