At some point you have to end it. He was the first Avenger (in the MCU). I'm sure RDJ felt it was time. Hes made enough money to last. Net worth is over $300 million and hes probably gonna eat off of those residual checks.

One, he's the most expensive actor in the franchise. He brings alot of money to your films but he also costs alot too.
Two, he's getting old. If they do another 11 year story arc he'll be 65 by the time they finish. Having an action franchise rely too much on a bunch of elderly men running around doing action scenes won't keep it's appeal long term. I like Terminator but seeing elderly Arnold isn't as much fun as young Arnold.
Three, Since he basically started this whole thing, they wanted to give him a satisfying conclusion arc going out on top. Similiar to Logan. Much better than running him into the ground until people no longer like him (ala Mystique)

Y'all dont realized how epic Avatar was.

I saw it 4 times in theaters. I saw End Game twice.

And while the story was basic, but you became emersed with the characters. And the action was :wow:



And besides. You cant tell me this scene dont remind you of the On Your Left final battle moment in End Game



Y'all keep shytting on Avatar to prop up End Game, but you're in the minority

People went to go see Avatar 5 and 6 times.


Its not that serious :russ:


And I'm noticing nobody is critiquing the Domestic title End Game wont come close to breaking.... the force awakens. That movie recycled hella shyt from the OG star wars movies.

Look breh, Avatar had hype leading up to its release including SOHH. When it dropped it got praised. It was an experience.

Now people are looking back 10 years later saying it wasnt all that. For no good reason really.

Respectfully, you're buggin.

The hype around "Avatar" was based on two things:

1. James Cameron, who is obviously a legend in Hollywood.

2. The visuals.

And that's pretty much it.

Don't believe me? There was actually articles about people experiencing depression, due to the real world not being as vibrant as Pandora:

Audiences experience 'Avatar' blues - CNN.com

Cameron's special effects masterpiece is very lifelike, and the 3-D performance capture and CGI effects essentially allow the viewer to enter the alien world of Pandora for the movie's 2½-hour running time, which only lends to the separation anxiety some individuals experience when they depart the movie theater.

And to further drive home the point....the "Avatar" sequels were put on hold because Cameron was looking for the next big thing in 3D:

Avatar 2 Will Revolutionize 3D Claims James Cameron

From the same article:

Avatar remains the highest-grossing movie ever made with $2.78 billion worldwide. Much of that had to do with the fact that the visuals, specifically the 3D, were totally groundbreaking. In the years since, 3D has lost much of its appeal to moviegoers and part of that has to do with the fact that it has largely become an afterthought for studios. It doesn't feel as special or necessary to the experience as it did with a movie like Avatar.

Which is 100% facts. If the sequels don't have some kind of crazy 3D gimmick they ain't gonna do anywhere near the first movie.

Agree

No one really needs to prop up Endgame or any of the Marvel movies to shyt on Avatar

At its core, Avatar was just an average movie with a basic predictable story.

But visually it was a magnificent.

I remember saying that back then when it dropped when I was on AHH. A lot of us hated it over there:russ:

The gimmick for part 2 are supposed to be underwater 3d. You know Cameron and his ocean fascination.

If it fails it will be the biggest flop ever but I don't doubt Cameron however I just don't care since it's taking so long.

It's just the nature of the internet, people are always on the look out for something to be outraged over.

People really going in on Tom Holland for spoiling Stark's death on a talk show last week :mjlol:

One guy said that he was waiting for the Blu-ray. Ain't nobody got time to hold on secrets that long :camby:. It's been two months and plenty of time to have seen the movie. At this point you're just shyt out of luck and jolly well fukked if anything is spoiled.

You kinda proved my point.

And it wasnt just the 3D. The 3D only enhanced the visuals which were the real ground breaking aspect. It also revolutionized the movie industry as 3d has become standard now.

And again, the story was basic but the acting was A+. But whatever.

I just wished they used the same VFX on Wakanda that they used for this movie :mjpls:

At the end of the day Avatar earned their title. :manny:

Someone school me on why avatar was such a hit. I never saw it but I’m guessing it has to do with the visuals and being the first 3d movie??
