Jeff AKA Snoopy 05/19/19 2:32:36 AM #54:	Beyond the amount of money it made and the push forward it created for tech, does it have any other lasting importance? Seriously, is it anyone's favorite movie? Does anyone cite it as inspiration for them to get into the craft of making films? Beyond the 3D did it influence the creation of film moving forward? I do not see evidence of that. --- https://i.imgtc.com/oKFWxht.jpg https://imgur.com/GWG5c3r <cite>Jeff AKA Snoopy posted [p:922084788] in But but bu...

Buzz Killjoy 05/19/19 12:36:35 PM #60:	I've never seen it. As far as "cultural impact," the one thing that seems notable in all these years since it's been released is that I've never seen it playing on any cable movie channels. Not even once, or I probably would have watched it, or at least part of it. That seems really strange to me now that I think about it. --- *Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?* <cite>Buzz Killjoy posted [p:922095799] in But but bu...

Sabram 05/19/19 12:43:51 PM #61:	I liked Avatar, it was a fun movie and had some good scenes in it. It doesn't measure up to Endgame or the combined MCU. There's a lot more characters with a lot more interesting arcs in the MCU, and we see a lot of them come to fruition in Endgame. Not to mention the movies adapt characters that have been around for over half a century. Avatar had cultural impact when it was released and a couple years after, but it had no staying power. Comic book movies stay with people not because the movies were always great (Batman Forever for example) but because the characters in them are timeless. No, I didn't know who the Guardians of the Galaxy were before the movies, but I sure as hell do now, and the same goes for a lot of other characters in the movies. That's the kind of cultural impact they generated. --- Monster Hunter Fanatic, Diablo Slayer, Senechal of Gran Soren Switch Friend Code: SW-1661-1393-5330 PSN: Sabram <cite>Sabram posted [p:922096014] in But but bu...

masterpug53 05/19/19 2:33:33 PM #64:	SaccharineSmile posted... Avatar's push for 3d, cinema screen/projector innovation, groundbreaking cgi, motion capture, etc. directly affected out culture in many ways. There are plenty of blockbuster movies with no cultural impact whatsoever, but Avatar is not one of them. Lord of the Rings already beat Avatar in the bolded categories almost a decade earlier. In fact, part of the reason I hated Avatar at the time was due to certain airheaded critics gushing over Avatar's mocap like LotR had never existed. As for 3D, I suppose you can consider it 'cultural impact' to put the squeeze on theaters to accommodate a zombified gimmick that people aren't much more excited for now than they were in the 1950's. I can't make an educated comment on cinema screen / projector innovation, so I won't knock its importance. The problem with Avatar leaving no 'cultural impact' isn't just a problem compared to other blockbusters; it's a problem compared to nearly every other movie James Cameron ever made. Think of Aliens, Terminator, Titanic: genuinely think of how deeply these movies wove themselves into the cultural fiber. They were inventive, they were quotable, they gave us ogles of memories (for the record, I loathed Titanic when it released and part of me still does, but I'm not above giving it its due credit). They told you a rich story and didn't just fall back on the pretty visuals to do so. If Avatar had come from any other director, I might not be inclined to be so critical of it. But when a story as uninspired as Avatar's comes from the man who previously gave our culture such huge inspirations, it sticks out like a sore thumb. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:922099494] in But but bu...

Wasn't that into it since was a young kid. Probably has to do with it having a memorable IMPACTFUL line that has said character's name in the line. I recall the girl's name too. This is interesting because it was also a huge James Cameron movie touting visuals.
