It’s bizarre that of all the things he could do he’s seemingly decided to devote the rest of his life to avatar

I mean the movies made like $5 Billion combined, doesn’t seem bizarre to me

Sure but at that point in his career he certainly didn’t need to make cgi action slop just for money

I think he wanted his own Star Wars and Avatar was what he came up with. Obviously it has mass appeal, it's just not a creative enough of a concept to have a nerd culture built around it.
