You're posts
On 12/14/2018 at 2:34 PM, Crainy said:If thats the statement you are gonna make after watching a movie like Avatar, your opinion isnt even worth considering.
On 12/14/2018 at 2:44 PM, Crainy said:No Im not, Im not married to Avatar. But you cant deny that a statement like in your post I initially responded to is devoid of any valuable thought.
On 12/14/2018 at 3:08 PM, Crainy said:Consider that Avatar is a much more thematically complex film than you are able to discern on a first viewing and that you are not a god of media literacy that is able to immediately understand the many thematic elements that James Cameron put into his masterpiece. That you follow the trend of saying the movie is just like Dance with the Wolves or Pocahontas very clearly tells me how shallow your opinion is. Its one of these things that people say because they sound clever but arent actually clever. The movie deals with various different themes and once you understand the more nuanced writing in the movie, you will come to realize that Avatar only resembles movies like Pocahontas on a very superficial level. They do not have the same thematic core at all.
If you arent willing to put the time into properly understanding a piece of art before finalizing your opinion on it, thats your own business. But if you do that, like with all things in life, you have to accept that your opinion is automatically worth less than the people that do look at art more closely.
And Tele's post....
On 12/14/2018 at 3:14 PM, Telemachos said:You're not gonna change someone's opinion just by saying they're wrong. They're not wrong, we all react to different movies in different ways. If you dig AVATAR (and I do), it's because the setting/themes/presentation trump the very traditional, conventional story. If you don't have as strong a connection (and you've seen a lot of movies), maybe you get more bothered by the conventionality of the characters and plot.
It's cool. Plenty of room for everyone.
I think the 2 sets of posts speak for themselves and I'll leave it at that.

I do respect other people´s opinions, but Im antagonistic towards people who mock and patronize other people for liking movies they dislike, which is behavior thats extremly common here and on other boards aswell. Thats just bullying and surely that behavior isnt okay either? Afterall you cant expect someone to not be antagonistic towards people who have no problem with questioning your intelligence just because they have a different opinion on movies.
@Telemachos has never "mocked or patronized" a new member as long as he's been on these forums. ( which was as a founding staff member )
I wasn't asking you to consider taking a different tone when posting... I was politely telling you that the staff found your posts borderline unacceptable.
I am now telling you less politely that if it continues you will be banned from posting in this thread.
And as a general warning to everybody... trying to pump up Avatar and Avatar 2-n by tearing down other films will not be tolerated. Lets keep to the talk here on Avatar itself and take the comparisons to other movies to the Franchise War thread.

Yep, thats about the reply I expected from you. If you cant be bothered to think about something, stop talking about it.
Settle down.
For a new user you're pretty antagonistic to other members.
If you're going to stay around here long enough to see Avatar II release than you might consider starting to respect others opinions.

He's confirmed as the main villain for the saga and as a villain in all 4
Hmmm...
I wish JC hadn't done that. It makes it one big saga broken out into 4 movies.
A lot rests in Quaritch becoming an iconic villain

nice to see @Pure Spirit back
Interesting post about Quaritch, I thought he maybe a clone but that article hints to me like he is being resurrected through Eywa.
Quaritch is going to be this generations vader just watch.
Quaritch will come back as a Na'vi and fight for the good guys.

Decluttering is both great and numbing. I'm maybe about 25% done with the places I needed to look through so far. This is my main task of the week that way I can focus on packing up once Christmas is over.

This is irrelevant when you remember is just basically Marvel x DC fans voting. All the DC fans will vote on Shazam, but Marvel fans has 3 options to vote and it’s kinda obvious almost everybody is expecting A4 more, so the other 2 movies have no votes from DC fans and just a few votes from Marvel fans because they have a better option. Nothing to see here.
You've described 90% of the internet.... 99% with Tumblrs new rules.

Also, this means @JamesCameronScholar may end up getting that major US dollar depreciation that he wants. A recession in 2020 would likely mean favorable exchange rates for Avatar 2, if that happens the odds of it topping Avatar would be much greater than they are under current exchange rate markets. However, his prediction of Trump getting re-elected probably wouldn't turn out if that happened to be the case.
Not only were the ER favorable for Avatar but things were really crappy in the world which made people long to escape into Pandora.
Things could be really similar for Avatar Jr.
Think JCS planned it that way?
