Avatar is great. One of the few mainstream films to directly challenge anthropocentrism and colonialism. The films are some of the highest grossing of all time, so I’m not alone in appreciating them.
I know that they made a fuck ton of money, but the appreciation just seems hollow from most people. I don’t remember anyone I know seeing the sequel or caring about its existence. I guess it had to have been seen by a lot of people for it to make that much. Maybe most people forgot about it the next day? Hell if I know. Fair enough opinion.
I don’t think people would want to watch the second film so much that they made it the third best selling in the world if they no longer cared about the first. The core of the plot in each is very easy to remember. I’m sure many people just watch for entertainment, but that doesn’t take away from the films’ quality. One could enjoy The Matrix for the fight scenes, but it would still have its value as a statement on conformity, a look into the simulation hypothesis, or the trans allegory that it is, among other things.

Avatar is mostly about the groundbreaking 3d visuals. It basically has just enough story to justify the beautiful settings.
It’s not exactly an original plot. It has the same plot as, off the top of my head:
