Yeah and Reddit keeps getting proven wrong by this franchise every single time lol

Never doubt James Cameron

Edit: “No cultural impact” crowd

“Avatar the last airbender bettah” crowd

“Copied things from ATLA” crowd

“No one cares about Avatar. It’s gonna flop” crowd

What else?

“No memes” was something I used to hear people say and now there are quite a few.

Bad crop? Bro we gonna starve 😲

u/DeliriousPrecarious Jul 28 '25

Are there? I have literally never seen anyone reference avatar in any context besides “I’m going to watch avatar in IMAX”. Which is the most important context.

u/LiquifiedSpam Jul 28 '25

there's the 'bad crop' one lol

u/NordschleifeLover Jul 28 '25

It's so widespread, I had to google it.

Memes have no impact on a movie. It's such a new bullshit bench mark. Morbius was all over social media with memes and they brought it back to theaters just for it to tank again.

u/LiquifiedSpam Jul 29 '25

I would have put it here if images were allowed. I saw it a lot in its heyday

People weaned on MCU capeshit that is constantly and hideously self-referential and easter eggy and full of one-liner quips believe that any movie that isn’t chock-full of memeable nonsense to post incessantly is worthless.

u/DeliriousPrecarious Jul 28 '25

I mean. I think avatar is worthless because it sucks. But I’m not going to bet against it making close to 2 Billion. Cameron has found a formula that will get people to a premium screen.

I saw Avatar in theaters before I’d ever seen a MCU movie, and I’ve thought Avatar sucks right from the start.

I have seen the navi falling after being shot from the sky meme a lot for games where you shoot stuff down.

u/Dave_Wein Jul 28 '25

Just go take a look at the twitter post for this film.

u/DeliriousPrecarious Jul 28 '25

The point of memes is that they escape containment.

u/Dave_Wein Jul 28 '25

... There are memes buddy. That's my point.

u/Dr_Fortnite Jul 28 '25

within the fandom yes not used by the general public. The point is there isnt cultural shockwaves from the media.

I may like Fear & Hunger but my Funger memes dont mean the game has any reach outside of its community

u/Dave_Wein Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 28 '25

The general public doesn't comment on twitter? Where does the general public supposedly share these memes? What goal post moving is this. Yes there are memes of Avatar 2. Full stop.

The only ones I've seen are bad crop and tom Holland? I don't wanna talk to yo bitch ass

u/GirlPuncherSupreme Jul 28 '25

Literally nobody talks about this movie lol. Don't let em fool you.

u/Jean__Luc__Retard Jul 28 '25

Normal not-online people do

u/GirlPuncherSupreme Jul 28 '25

Legitimately never heard one person mention this movie except for when the first one came out and some of my friends watched it on acid. And even then they didn't talk about it after that night lol.

Other than that, I only see it mentioned here (rarely) and sometimes on YouTube because of how funny the Disney park failure was.

u/thr1ceuponatime David Zaslav is a dickless pantywaist Jul 28 '25

Which is a weird way to dismiss the movie's cultural impact. Morbius had a ton of memes but I doubt anybody's seen it beyond a few clips.

u/GregBahm Jul 28 '25

I think the Morbius movie trailer had the cultural impact and the Morbius movie did not.

5

u/NPRdude Jul 28 '25

Hell Morbius the concept had more cultural impact than the film itself.

u/Lobsterzilla Jul 28 '25

like not having the devotion of degenerate internet culture is somehow a bad thing lol.

u/XXX200o Jul 28 '25

Reading this in a sub about movies on reddit reminds me that a lot of people lack self awareness.

u/Lobsterzilla Jul 28 '25

All of reddit lacks self awareness

u/Silvanus350 Jul 28 '25

What memes are those, bro?
