2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

What decade can I expect to stop hearing about that dumbass movie or any echo of it?

[–] ares35@kbin.social 64 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

if the films go as planned, the fifth one will hit theaters late 2031, he has 'ideas' for two more after that.

and then you'd have the 30th anniversary re-re-release of a re-re-remastered first one... so, maybe, the 2060s?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did the fourth one come out already? I honestly have no idea if I missed it or if it's somehow still not released yet.

[–] stankmut@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The second movie came out in 2022 and the third one doesn't come out until 2025.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's going to be a third one? I thought the second one added nothing of value, what are they going to with the third one? Discover another ultra rare resource that is going to become the focal point of human exploitation, but this time in a creature that lives underground? And poor Jake needs to relocate his family with the mole men?

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And a fourth and a fifth, both of which have already had some work done (fourth one apparently has 1/3rd consisting of a time skip sequence that has already been filmed). And if they do well, Cameron has said that he has plans to make two more.

He really likes Avatar.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Holy shit lol I was way off

Some holographic history projectors that fell through time from 2254 only briefly mention the upcoming Avatar sing-along, so it's getting closer.

They are beautiful looking films with boring stories. I liked the spectacle of it in 3D, but fuck was it the boring after an hour.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

fuck was it the ring after an hour.

That sounds trippy

That's because it's the wrong avatar. We need a sweet ATLA game.

[–] deus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

There's a guy making an ATLA fangame for quite some time now.

[–] BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tf 10 points 1 year ago

That’s a Dreams game, and as much as I love dreams, it’s really more suited to experiences than it is full fledged games. It does look great though.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Dreams games aren’t actual games in the traditional sense

[–] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 8 points 1 year ago

There's a decent Legend of Korra game by Platinum. Simple, short beat-em-up in the style of something like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I thought this was about the third movie and I got really bummed.

[–] DdCno1@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (8 children)

I got really indifferented, because I don't even remember the plot of the first film anymore. Also because it's the triple-whammy of awfulness, a mobile MMO by Tencent.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

spoiler for the first Avatar movieIt's just Fern Gully

[–] Ifera@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought it was just Pocahontas with robots, but I had just watched the animated version around a week before I saw the first blue Avatar.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Don't forget Dances With Wolves! That's another one it's similar to.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Your description is also correct, according to the transitive property of Fern Gully/Pocahontas films.

[–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But objectively worse because Avatar doesn't feature Tim Curry

[–] Aielman15@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

mobile MMO by Tencent

So many red flags, they could start a communist revolution.

[–] DdCno1@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Or populate a comment section on lemmy.

[–] falsem@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was basically Fern Gully

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Don't slander Fern Gully like that

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

The plot was alien sex

If you as a half life fan are still waiting to learn what happened after Alyx' father's encounter with that one combine thing... I admire your naivety

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Half-Life: AlyxWell, according to Half-Life: Alyx, it never even happened.

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Who the fuck has been waiting for two years for a mobile game ? Lol

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Whales, that's.who. no place to buy yourself some wins than mobile games.

[–] june@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like letting stories finish and would have enjoyed the final installment as much as I did the first two… with mild to moderate enthusiasm.
