    I saw this on reddit, commented and got torn apart by Avatar fans. I had no idea they had any! I will say it here, the series no one asked for and most can’t remember it until someone mentions it. That says everything about Avatar.

      2 of the 3 highest grossing movies of all time are bound to have a few fans.

      While the story can be a bit bland or even cringy, the movies have a lot of visual appeal. I’m not surprised they do well.

      I thought this was the good Avatar based on the subtitle and that it was going to be a prequel of sorts chronicling the first wave of attacks by the fire nation. I was hoping this would be the beginning of a series of movies that would be better than the other attempts.

      Then I saw the blue person…

      It’s strange how in some circles, people love to hate on massively popular movies, and things millions of people love and look forward to. So weird.

        I wouldn’t say hate, but they are entirely mediocre movies, at least the first one, never bothered to watch the second one, that’s how little I care about it.

      They are shiiiiiit, for sure. The only thing is the 3-D. I can’t remember the first one, watched it at home. The second one, I watched in theater and only remember the 3-D.

      Now FernGully, I remember.

    Zoe Saldana has played several significant roles in science fiction films, including:

    Neytiri in Avatar (2009), where she portrayed a warrior and leader in a post-apocalyptic world. Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, showcasing her as a fierce and complex character2 Nyota Uhura in the Star Trek reboot series, where she plays a powerful and respected character in a male-dominated field2 She has also appeared in Avatar: The Way of Water and Avengers: Endgame, further solidifying her status in the science fiction genre

    Just wondering how an actor gets type cast as a ‘science fiction’ person.
