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.
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.
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.
In my circles it’s “avatar” and “avatar (the blue one)”, which is also quite telling
In my circles it’s “avatar” and we haven’t needed a way to distinguish space smurfs. Literally never comes up, even when one is in theaters.

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
Avatar “Pocahontas in space”
Aka Dances with Smurfs
Aka Big Blue Man (from Little Big Man).
Tells me you don’t know, or that you don’t care about why that movie was ever made. And why the second one got made either.
The story is about being an avatar.
Not about fern gully as well
