Recovery arc was a bit choppy for me and I didn’t love how it separated her from the rest of cast for so much of the season. In particular, S3 had the most korrasami content which is a big factor for me, but also I think the villain was much stronger both on a personal and thematic level. S4 plot felt a little overambitious and sprawling to me whereas red lotus was very tight and genuinely menacing. This has never occurred to me before but I guess I’m saying

LOKS3:LOKS4::IW:AEG

 

@charlie Jatinder

Well that's why I have it under LOK S3. But disagree with the EG comparison as I think EG executed better.

Make sure you all catch Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio if you haven't.

It's spellbinding, heartfelt, weird and dark. One of the best of the year.

I cried 3 times.

Not me casually getting my S3s confused in regard to which you ranked loks4 over, that would be too embarrassing. Y’all saw nothing

Let’s get those rankings goin’:

ATLA S3

ATLA S2

ALOK S3

ATLA S1

ALOK S4

ALOK S1

ALOK S2

 

My list is the same as yours, after flipping the S3s. You know... I'd also put LOK4 --> TLA1

It's not the numbers that are surprising me so much as the abrupt turnaround. Internationally speaking the presales were pointing to one of the most massive movie events ever and then everything just came to a screeching halt. Like, not just "not as big as originally thought" but from really good to pretty average.

 

What happened???

Out of good seats at premium cinemas I think, at least where I live.

Avatar 2 under Jurassic World DOM and WW?

[Cooper Legion]

True floppage will be if this thread gets less pages than the avatar thread… if you deleted every post except Jimbo’s

Spoiler

That’s 145 or so, good luck 

 

Spoiler

Looks like numbers will help though 

 

[aabattery]

the box office is nothing without water-based bombs

[Krissykins]

$140m is fine… if it also has a multiplier of at least 5x lol

[BadOlCatSylvester]

This might actually miss 2 billion 

[Brainbug]

If this underperforms (aka under 2 Billion Worldwide lol), we can attribute it to the title. Water after all, is wet and some people may have something against the idea of getting wet in the theater, i. e. wetting themselves in the cinema seat.

 

But i would feel for the Cameronites and Jimbo in particular. Their dreams would be like tears in the rain ...

If Avatar 2 also underperforms then 2022 will be known as underperforming year since most big budget movies also underperformed including MCU, JWD etc

Only thing that really reached high end expectations would be Minions

[Brainbug]

In all honesty though i dont see this underperforming just yet. Reviews are solid/good enough, it has Christmas all to itself and its a visual spectacle designed to be a crowdpleaser. I would be surprised to see this opening under something like 160M.

TGM can't even see the high end of it's expectations from Orbit so I guess this checks out

Would be a major bummer to end an overall very disappointing year (sans TGM, minions and a couple more minor overperformers like smile/EEAAO) on a disappointment from A2 as well, so hopefully it won't come to that.
