They might name an actor, but a character from the world? Mostly crickets. It's really the weirdest franchise. I think people just like going to James Cameron's virtual worlds. 🤷 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LordMayor@piefed.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) He could probably do a nature documentary set in that world for cheap and people would pay to see it.

I love them. Especially the 3rd. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 months ago I think they suck story-wise, and are quite lazy with the overall plots, but they’re gorgeous and innovative, and have surprisingly good acting for the shit those people must have to go through, so I’ll continue watching and rewatching them even though I still think they suck. The visuals and world-building are what keep me coming back. It’s a very weird franchise, but it makes sense that people have such a love/hate relationship. Get rid of the human characters and make it all about Pandora and it’d be pure gold IMO. permalink fedilink source parent
