Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I was genuinely surprised the second one made money. I thought nobody would still care about the franchise. But alas, sometimes the majority like movies that I don't and vice versa. I'm not going to be an idiot and go on posts about Avatar saying "nobody asked for more Avatar movies". I didn't ask for more. But they're making tons of money so clearly, somebody is asking for more.
They pushed ocean sims to the max in the last one, I enjoy watching cgi/vfx idrc about the plot, also the naavi are hot, tall alien baddies when
A very overated movie by the ones who are fans. "Great visuals" they say, like if Avatar were the first movie ever using CGI. This movie is, in fact as OP says, a very weird franchise. Has success out of nowhere and no one ever bring this movie when talking about "what's your favorite movie", "what's your favorite movie soundtrack", "what's your favorite story from a movie", "what's your favorite scene in a movie". I dare you to do those questions to people and see by yourselves. A very big money wash if you ask me.
If you were late teens / early 20's or older when it first came out, I don't think it that weird.
It was bloody amazing. And then we've just all been waiting for it until the sequels, which are just now starting to roll in. The second one was a bit of a disappointment (bro) in my opinion, but I'm hoping the third one will be a positive surprise.
Basically I went to watch it for nostalgia, as I think a lot did.
AAA-game? Aren't there like lots of Avatar games?
Yeah, 2009 there was one, online shut down for it in 2014.
Guess you're talking about "the frontiers of Pandora" from 2023?
There's also "Pandora rising" from 2020.
The sequels were always in the works. The first movie was an experience and now people are just chasing that high again.
Hell, there's still tons of people waiting on the continuation on what happens to Jon Snow in the books after he's stabbed. That's still in the works with George, hopefully. Since like 2011.

Did you all watch the first one with IMAX 3D (or whatever was called back then)? I might have weird eyes cuz it felt like I'm watching some long-ass blurry cutscene.
