Fall of Hometree The mate-bond and betrayal of Neytiri Neytiri putting on the gas mask to save Jake's life Tsu'tey's death scene Jake passing through the eye of Eywa Jake running through the garden for the first time. I wish all movies could be as mediocre as Avatar. None of the above moments rely being visually beautiful. It's difficult to think of anything in Marvel/Sequel-Wars with a single scene as emotional and authentic as those. And +1 to what @IronJimbo said, we praise other movies all the time. It's one of the internets greatest hypocrisies to nitpick Avatar for being unoriginal (dances with smurfs) then go to big up the latest sws or marvel film 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had smaller ships following the flagship through hyperdrive, why didn't they just launch one of those into the Star Destroyer? They got blown up and knew they were going to die.

He had precisely the amount of charisma the role required. JC wanted you to be able to self-insert as his character. Sam was your Avatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) People who criticized Avatar for its lack of originilaty was a proof of their ignorance and lack of culture. But hey, can you expect more from the sad state of education in western countries, where ignorance is championned ?
