The fukk do they mean nobody ripped it off? Every blockbuster released had a 3D version because of Avatar. Milestone movies get their good qualities jacked and butchered by Hollywood. There's only a handful of films from the last 20 years or so that have that happen and Avatar is one of them.
MCU has everybody trying to make a cinematic universe and failing at it. Harry Potter spawned a bajillion bad young adult novel movies. The Matrix had everybody doing slow mo. Avatar had everybody slapping post-conversions on their movie to get the 3D bag. Inception had everybody abusing horns in their trailers. The Dark Knight had the studios making dark/"serious"/"mature" movies out of shyt that didn't really fit that tone.
Hell the reason Thanos looks so good is because of the work that went into Avatar. Instead of talking down you need to be paying homage
3d has existed for decades, always in waves. Avatar really has little bearing on that.
Here's something to think about...Willow "invented" the use of morphing effects. 31 years later, and Willow gets mentioned way more than Avatar.
T2 showed what CGI could really do, when implemented properly. T2 is still up there with Cameron's best. Avatar was supposed to do with 3D what T2 did to CGI, and one of these movies is completely forgettable, and like others have said, has had very little impact. When you compare Avatar to the other movies that were cultural and industry phenomenons, it doesn't even come close.
