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

[–] DdCno1@kbin.social 29 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (6 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.

spoiler for the first Avatar movieIt's just Fern Gully

[–] Ifera@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

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

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But objectively worse because Avatar doesn't feature Tim Curry

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

Don't slander Fern Gully like that

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 months ago

The plot was alien sex

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I never liked the first movie. The second one was pretty good imo.

[–] witheyeandclaw@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The first movie was James Cameron’s anti-capitalist masterpiece! They have the technology and medicine to heal the parapalegic protagonist but don’t want to spend the money on him. They can sucker him into military service for their interests however.

[–] DdCno1@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

An anti-capitalist masterpiece that earned its creator billions. Someone's playing both teams.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I got bummed it wasn't about the damned third movie

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Oh no whatever will we do if we don’t get another 3hour snooze fest?!

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Taste is subjective. If you don't like it, that's fine. I thought the first two were enjoyable, even though predictable.

There are other movies out there I'm sure you enjoy that I would find incredibly boring.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

First one was an okay movie, second one was basically a screensaver that was sometimes annoyingly interrupted by explosions.

[–] DdCno1@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

Haven't watched the second one (not sure if I ever will), but I'm definitely stealing that.
