Considering James Cameron has not directed anything in literally 13 years because he's been working on his Avatar saga this whole time I think there's a solid chance it turns out good. Normally a long development time like that bodes poorly but this is James Cameron soooo
I wish I had your confidence.
The first Avatar film has soured for me over time.
I felt his previous films were significantly better than Avatar.
That doesn't mean that Avatar is bad, it's just underwhelming to me.

Avatar, the Way of Water?

Like waterbending?

No way, The Last Airbender sequel???
Just wait until Avatar 3, 4, and 5.
3 will be the Way of Earth
4 will be the Way of Fire
5 will be the Way of Air

Then there's Avatar 6: This is the Way. That's right, Avatar x Star Wars. Because Sci Fi franchises.

The only thing going for Avatar even is just its visual special effects.

Otherwise, the movie is just Ferngully meets Pocahontas or Dances with Wolves but in space.

you literally just leaked out their plans to make up for losing to the Avengers
Morbius 2, the movie was so good a sequel was filmed before the first film even came out

I will end Morbius 2 and 3 with this

Thinking about it, but the police are so damn useless in the Pokemon games.

You have evil villians talking about taking over the world and destroying all creation littered everywhere, terrorist activities go on putting entire regions in danger on a daily basis, and yet the best they can do is pick a fight with a 10 year old, and said ten year old is DOING THEIR JOB.

The cops suck lmao. Nanu and Looker get a pass though, they cool

I've never watched Avatar, and i couldn't care less about the sequel if i tried, but I disagree with everyone saying the sequel is going to flop. It being an incredibly forgettable movie doesn't change that it's also the highest grossing movie of all time. The 3D craze has been dead for long enough that it will be a novelty again, and it's been long enough since the first one that people are possibly a little nostalgic for it. James Cameron's an experienced filmmaker, I see no reason that this movie would be far worse than anything else he's done (especially because it took so long to produce).

I don't think it'll be taking it's predecessor's place on the leaderboard or anything, but it breaking $1 Billion would hardly shock me.

Just rewatched No Way Home for my Spider-man series watchthrough, Movie would have been better with Morbius.

I still really like it although I have some gripes after watching all of the movies, I have no clue why they did sandman, it seems like they wanted to do Topher Grace Venom but didn't for some reason

because he was both not dead and knew Peter as Spider-Man…but also also because Chad Venom was already in the MCU getting drunk…and also also also because nobody likes Topher/Virgin Venom

the last one is really the only reason that matters

Ironically it's because Tom Hardy Venom was there. Since iirc the symbiote can communicate or at least retains memories through multiverses, Tom Hardy Venom was sent instead to set up a Tom Spidey vs. Venom in Spidey 4.

And also because Sandman was the most popular villian of Spider-Man 3 and Topher's Venom was panned at the time. Probably that.

You're telling me audiences don't appreciate the inherent cinematic nature of

"I like being bad it makes me feel happy"

You gotta hand it to GameFreak for real life accuracy.

not as powerful as “Like a turd…in the wind”
His whole backstory is that he gets caught for plagarism, loses his job as a result, so he becomes Venom.

Truly a villian that speaks to the people.
Venom 3 is just gonna be both of the Venoms fighting one another due to No Way Home, all while Toxin watches from afar waiting for Venom 4 (and they tease another Spider-Man I guess)

Same. Have never seen it. Seems like something that should have come out years ago.

Will be interesting to see how well it does, but for how much it sold I never see anyone really talk it fondly or in reference.

They somewhat answer this in the manga by having Team Aqua and Team Flare own all of the major news outlets in Hoenn/Kalos.

That said in the B2W2 saga, they straight up bring in a 10 year old cop, who outranks Looker, to take down Team Plasma. lol

You know it seems like everyone simps for Yor Forger.

Does anyone simp for the dad?
Yeah but you see people simp for men a hell of a lot less on the internet. One thing I like is that Loid is drawn differently when he's being genuine in the manga and how he's surprisingly progressive in universe considering the show takes place somewhere between WWII-cold war or right after the Berlin wall got taken down

Yeah that's the weird thing isn't it? I don't remember Avatar being bad, I remember it being forgettable. Then again I did watch it at the time on a small television instead of in theaters which feels like, of all movies, probably made than one worse lol
