2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

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

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

[–] DdCno1@kbin.social 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But objectively worse because Avatar doesn't feature Tim Curry

mobile MMO by Tencent

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

Don't slander Fern Gully like that

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

The plot was alien sex

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] witheyeandclaw@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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