    no on cares about the plot of avatar, and we’re still surprised people bother seeing it.

      People watch Avatar because of the bleeding edge CG. It’s not a unique story. It never has been. It’s Pocahontas. It’s Dances with Wolves. It’s Fern Gully. It’s A Man Called Horse.

      Theyre all similar stories. Foreign heroes saving the “savage” local population that can’t defend themselves from the technology, while learning about them along the way.

      The story isn’t why people go to watch Avatar.

      tbf, when I actually watched movies I never cared about the plot before hand anyways. I’m there to experience it while it’s playing, not learn about it beforehand, see trailers, hear what the movie is about then go watch it. it just ruins the movies

      now since I can’t get away from the world spoiling movies constantly, even in commericals about them… and corporations just remaking stuff and having zero creativity, I completely stopped watching all movies/tv shows.

      haven’t seen a movie since like 2020 I’d say. no plans to even see another. nothing is interesting.
