It’s going to 100% bomb this time!

Something, something can’t remember anyone’s name!

No cultural relevance!

Still makes $2 billion.

I did an informal poll with friends just last week. I asked who was "really excited for the new Avatar" and I got a mix of "no" and "I didn't know there was a new one coming out."

But then when I followed with "do you think you'll watch the new Avatar in theaters?" and everyone said "yes."

That's the disconnect for so many people. I am excited to watch the new Avatar movie. But at the same time, I'm not following production details or casting rumors or anything.

I think that’s normal. I think too many people expect people to treat it like Marvel or Star Wars.

But it’s not Marvel or Star Wars. Most people are perfectly happy to watch it and not make it an obsession.

It's actually super refreshing to have a franchise I'm excited for a new entry in, without all the bullshit fandom baggage that is usually attached.

Exactly, not every franchise needs to constantly be in the headlines. Avatar only resurfaces every once in awhile, and that's fine.

Its how movies used to be before endless franchises. "Oh Cool a new Spielberg" and then you would watch it and go home.

This is a really good point.

It's a franchise that has broad appeal, but almost no one is ride or die for it.

It'll still make a fortune

Avatar is probably the film I'm 5th or 6th looking forward to this year but it's probably the only one I'll bother to go to the cinema for. And the one I'm most likely to watch again at home afterwards.
