You can tell Avatar made a multigenerational impact given how much it is still spurring so much debate.
I can n t think of any other film from 2009 that people still talk about as much as Avatar!

Objectively wrong.
Jimbo and I have spoken at length throughout the thread as to why Avatar is such a masterpiece, I'm happy to go through them with you if you'd like.
Secondly, anyone claiming to be able to do the above should always be met with a certain level of cynicism, because lets be honest, if anyone truly knew just what made Avatar such a success they'd be working on their own movie aiming to dethrone the king right now.
Just like you and your jokes about fucking goats right Tele? I'm sure somewhere in those 72 thousand posts there's something that has made your time here well spent...
There's something about Jim and big numbers that just feels right
this is true it is strange that no one beat him even after all this time, people can say luck and things but he did it twice and not beaten.
I thought TLJ would beat Cameron but did not happen. Nothing I can think will beat it soon, maybe a chinese movie?

If anyone can translate Barnack/Jimbo's 'argument' that'd be really useful for me to try and parse this entire thing.
It seems quite obvious that 'critics' do get pressured in certain ways, that's been the case for years. Although the actual tangible evidence for it is sparse it's hard not to say that a critic will not be influenced by factors outside of their control (fear of repercussions is a rather obvious one).
Although, I wouldn't expect Jimbo to argue over mere speculation in the first place - the only facts that matter are concrete ones e.g. The money that a movie measurably makes at the box office.
This also ignores the fact that Barnack has shown in the past his inability to understand some rather basic logical arguments (see our discussion around Logical Positivism and Eliminative Materialism).
at ;least emglish is your firsty language try understanding it as a second xD

Small brains don't realise he's still unbeaten. They've drunk the cool aid.
I thought you'd had an existential crisis about wasting so much time talking to children about movies, and killed yourself Tele. I'm glad to see that isn't he case.
Your unmatched wit and intelligence has been sorely missed.

So glad we have yet another genius on this board who believes themselves to be more of an authority on comic books and their history than Alan Moore.

Historical revisionism in action folks. We're literally skirting the drain here, I wonder when ZeeSoh will start questioning Holocaust statistics...
this is common problem here in europe people moving around dates and numbers to suit the political motivations
i did not think comic books fans would do the same though 😧

Is the infamous modern education system rearing its ugly head again? Learn some history.
this is interesting really i guess it is hard for american culture to avoid this type of influence if we look at the history of the country although this also probably true for most imperial powers
Still very interesting to know this

Threadly reminder that cape and masks in comics are heavily influenced by the KKK. So called "left-wingers" can walk on if they ever tell me they like comic books.
Really is this true?
