If only we had a metric that could estimate how many people watched it....
I never said nobody watched it. The whole point of this discussion is that it's surprising how little cultural impact it has despite the insane viewer numbers
More that they don't follow IN YOUR CIRCLE. Seriously, avatar chud meme is all over twitter and reddit regardless of fandoms.
A meme and a theme park ride are enough to show that a movie made a truly nuclear impact on popular culture, got it
And like 2 billion dollars both movies have made individually?
As opposed to what exactly was ATLA's cultural impact? A toxic fandom that moans about getting female led content?
Once again I must restate that this whole discussion is about the fact that, despite it being the highest grossing movie of all time, it has left no impact on popular culture, aside from one amusement park ride and one meme. What don't you get about this? I am acknowledging the impressive amount of money the movie made, while at the same time pointing out that it didn't impact popular culture even a little bit, aside from a few jokes making fun of the lazy writing.
Can you quote even one line from the movie without looking it up?
Once again I must restate that "popular" doesn't mean just the people YOU interact with.
Easy, "I see you, Jake Sully" from the first one, from the second one it'd have to be "I can't believe I'm tied up again!" by little Tuk or a bloodlusted Neytiri saying "A son, for a son".
You're 100% wrong and being a dick.
Avatar the blue people was the highest grossing film, a metric touted by media. Which then I'm sure people rewatched.
However Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra sell far more merch and nearly a decade after the first aired it was rereleased on Netflix and becomes one of the most rewatched series. On top of that there is a clear fandom for Avatar that the movies entirely lack.
How about this, go find me more people with blue people Avatar tattoos, clothing, fanfic, etc.
You are mistaking someone dumping money into the blue people Avatar as success. It is not. A theme park isn't publicly funded, that's meaningless. You're gonna tell me Six Flags is more popular than Pizza because it has theme parks? No
The evidence is clear buddy. Avatar belongs to the benders
Sure buddy.
