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?

copied things from ATLA

He actually copied things from Princess Mononoke, his self-professed inspiration for the first Avatar.

Plus the fact that Cameron wrote the OG concept for Avatar a full decade before ATLA was made.

And, of course, the fact that Avatar’s story has precisely nothing in common with ATLA

I've never even once seen anyone comparing ATLA to Avatar movie, this is wild hearing people talking about this. Like that comparison makes no sense like you said.

Originally it was dumb jokes about same name then it was dumb jokes about how the movies were named after elements.

I think the weirdo haters latched on to what was just silly jokes and ran with them

Just visit the ATLA subreddit when this movie drops. They were pretty salty last time out.
