I always had the opposite reaction. I'd say avatar and people would think I meant Xbox or the movie.

Wish that happened to me. I have to clarify the REAL Avatar.

It has an entire section of Animal Kingdom dedicated to it in Disney World and both movies made a stupid amount of money breaking multiple records. It had plenty of impact of pop culture, just look at how often people say this exact thing on a regular basis without a shred of self awareness. I love ATLA but this claim has always been silly.

What would you say is the pop cultural impact. I would agree that most people think to the blue aliens when you say avatar, but apart from that I can think of nothing. Ah maybe 3d... Hmm not sure if that counts

People still bring it up on a regular basis while claiming that nobody remembers it despite the fact that everyone pretty obviously remembers it even if they don't remember the details of the plot itself. The fact that it has an entire section of a world famous theme park dedicated to it means more than nothing even if people who aren't fans of the movie don't want to acknowledge it.
