I know I’m going to get shit for this, but eh, LFG.   We are a box office forum. We talk about Avatar excessively because it’s the biggest box office film of all time.  Most of the other places on The Internet TM do not. For the General Audience, this is a sequel to that cool movie from 12 years ago. To Nerd Culture, it’s the sequel to the movie they love to mock and meme. And James Cameron did most of his best work in the 1980’s, which is like asking Gen Z to marathon TCM. There isn’t

I know we're in the middle of Oscar Talk, but since I just caught up with the thread, I want to swing back to something that was discussed about an hour ago.       As a not quite charter member of Wait For Boxing Day To Really Say, but a strong subscriber to the newsletter, I understand this comment.   I really do.   At the same the world is a *LOT* different now than it was in 2009.   We've all listed the reasons, but one major thing that isn'

So excited for this (I mean it genuinely)

Saw this for the first time (and a bunch of the other movies Avatar ripped off) a few days ago. Do...do people still think this is actually good? Because I thought this wasn't it. Kevin Costner narrating like he's an eighth grader reading a boring book in English class was insufferable.

I found Pocahontas also extremelly dull and probably the worst 90's Disney animation by far. 

 

Yes, Avatar ripped many movies, but i would argue it did better tho.

Avatar 2 Weekend Thread Bingo Card.jpg


I politely suggested that you take out weirdo, and put in Fandom, because we’re not about to kink shame people here 😘

 

You wanna fuck that blue person? More power to you. I applaud that. Just make sure it’s safe, saying, and consensual!

You know what? Screw it, I'm starting one of the random rankings (or is it random? I dunno)

 

1. Princess Mononoke

2. Atlantis: The Lost Empire

3. Dances with Wolves

4. Ferngully: The Last Rainforest

5. Pocahontas

 

And for the record, I only thought...two of these were good lol. And honestly, Atlantis was basically borderline because that film is only saved by the pretty animation and the characters. That film's plot is MESSY

I saw Atlantis for the first time last week and i swear i though the 3rd act was about to start when the movie simply go to it's epilogue.

 

Still find it charming tho.

Yeah. Atlantis is kind of rough for me. I like the characters and animation but yeah the plot would work better with a longer runtime and it really takes me out of the movie. Treasure Planet was the superior Disney animation action of the 2000s.

Eric, this isnt fair. Comparing Princess Mononoke to all the other movies on this list is like comparing Mount Everest to a sad group of pebble stones (except Atlantis, thats like a solid, good little rock).

Princess Mononoke

Great movie tbh... don't have any developed opinions on the other ones but I did see Atlantis in theaters when I was like 7.

 

Haven't seen Dances with Wolves at all really.

That’s because Kevin Costner has the charisma of oatmeal paste!!! How anyone found him desirable is WILD to me.

Btw, this is the headline of one of many bad german Avatar 2 reviews:

 

Avatar 2“ im Kino : Schlumpf über Bord!

 

Translation: Avatar 2 in theaters: Smurf overboard!

 

Do i have to say anything more? The absolute state of some german movie reviews, its not even not funny, it has transcended cringe.
