Yeah, the only reason the James Cameron one is ever brought up is to talk about how it’s absurd how much profit it makes or to talk about how stupid it is that they’re making a series. Often context is enough to know you’re talking about that one, and not the real one.
It’s weird how the sequel (Way of the Water) came out and it made so much money and it seemed to just not permeate any conversations or memes or anything. At least in my corner of the Internet.
Yeah, I don’t keep up with movies or series, but I know that the non-blue sequel is called “Korra” or something. Never heard “Way of the Water” before.
I don’t know anyone who can even remember what the story part of Cameron’s Avatar actually was, let alone anyone who liked the story part. The part about the regular human’s consciousness taking over the artificial blue critter is completely forgotten, and that’s the whole reason the movie was called Avatar in the first place.
funnily that’s one of 2 things i remember clearly from it: the idea of growing an alien pseudo-clone of yourself that you beam your consciousness into like a psionic RV is very cool and scifi, and then the flora and fauna of the planet is something i want to see an Alien Planet-esque documentary about.
Everything else at best makes me remember the game Natural Selection which has a lot more soul.

I thought this new one was the sequel… did another one come out sometime? I’m on the internet a lot and had no idea.
It apparently had the most impressive cgi water ever, with technical breakthroughs being the only interesting part of the series to me.
James Cameron would like that you said that
Technical reasons are the entire backbone of why it took owning the IP for as much time before it was made as it has now been after it’s release
He also is fine having movies for the studios if he didn’t have a passion for the project but off it lets him do one.
Remember this is the guy has long had a fascination with the water
