Yes, we may have had a 13-year wait for the first Avatar sequel, but apparently there are three more due to come out in 2024, 2026 and 2028. If The Way of Water is anything to go by, that's not a prospect to relish, but let's hope Cameron uses those sequels to address one key point, at least. How is it that 22nd-Century humans can travel all the way to Alpha Centauri in spaceships packed with robots and clones - but they still haven't developed glass which is strong enough to withstand a wooden arrow?

Squib? Did Harry Potter coin a new word, or did this pre-exist HP?

“Jake wages a guerilla war against them, blowing up railway tracks and stealing weapons. He is a stripy-blue Robin Hood ...”

Lawrence of Arabia would be the proper comparison here, not Robin Hood.

4 kids in 13 years? The liberated ladies aren’t going to like the thought of his wife being pregnant and nursing for at least half of that time. How patriarchal. //sarc

Flying dragons—pooh! Four-eyed whales—pshaw. I want to know about the perfect teeth of the Pandorans. Maybe the humans just want to steal their computer-generated dentures.

Movies with “Water” in the title fare poorly. This one joins WataerWorld and “The Waterboy”.

I thought the first one was propaganda and didn’t watch it.

However I later learned that it was banned in China: because the corrupt politicians/land developers would push people out of their family houses and traditional farms to build China’s empty cities and make money. And the Chinese government was afraid of the movie encouraging protests.

One wonders if Hollywood was aware that this was about China, not just western civilization that they love to hate.

It's been 13 years since James Cameron's Avatar beat his previous blockbuster, Titanic, to become the highest grossing film ever released.

That those two films are the highest grossing movies of all time reminds me of the old H.L. Menken pseudo-quote:

”No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

what do all these avatars poop?

they are all over the place riding flying animals, but there are no poop piles...

the reason native american tribes were nomadic is not so much they followed the herds, but they had to leave the area because of the stench.

I’m rooting for the white military guys to kill all the savages.
This is what others are rooting for, right?...

I’ll watch it when its FREE. I’ll decide for myself if it is any good.

I liked the first one. Although Sigourney Weaver was miscast for the role.

The first one was pre-woke garbage.

Me personally -— I am staying away in droves from this boring eco-jive movie. I watched the first one for 20 minutes, then drifted in and out of napping for the rest of it. Those blue critters with tails are annoying.

Sort of a CGI-enhanced and updated version of Little Big Man and Dances with Wolves: Evil White men against noble and mainly peaceful indians.

How '70s.
