meh some of the marvel characters did grow. some were interesting. I dont know how anyone could say a 20 film related story culminating in endgame was impressive as hell

I don't know how anyone could say that either.

There was a story? I only saw constant CGI-fighting when I bothered to check some of the Marvel movies.

I hope it's awesome. Why wouldn't you want to see a great movie?

I agree. Why would someone want to see a movie "crash and burn"? What is to be gained personally because a movie does poorly at the box office?

because rewarding souls trash is why Hollywood churns out such crap

Ah, so you're the judge and jury. Arrogant much?

reply

[–] brucewayne (319) 3 years ago

no its called logic and common sense. we get bad transformers films after transformers films because people voted with their ticket purchase.

its not arrogance, its not only common sense its basic logic. a film that makes a lot of money no matter how bad is more likely to get a sequel. Can you point to a single box office bomb that got a single? I am sure there are some but its rare. compare this to massive successes that weren't that good and their likelihood of a sequel.

I am sorry facts and basic knowledge is "arrogance". why do you hate reality?

[–] chilone (17266) 3 years ago

Arrogance because you think you speak for everyone and your common sense and logic is universal. It isn't. MILLIONS of people loved Avatar, including me. If you didn't like it, great. Go on with your life and forget about it.

yes its basic filmmaking... basic story telling. Im sorry you dont even know that. maybe educate yourself rather than confusing your own ignorance with other people arrogance.

Jesus everyone must sound arrogant to you just because they know more than you LOL

WHY DO YOU FEEL "BASIC" IS INHERENTLY BAD?🤔

[–] brucewayne (319) 3 years ago

what great film? the first was a worse rehash of pochihantas. it was boring with poor character development.

it was cgi porn and that's all it had for it..

reply

[–] chilone (17266) 3 years ago

You left out "in my opinion".

reply

[–] brucewayne (319) 3 years ago

it was a rehash of Pocahontas. Pocahontas was at least a competent films that made sense.

as for boring characters and development. the major things we learn about our main protagonist played by Sam Worthington are he has a twin brother that died and he is a cripple.

okay basic story telling is that you include things relevant to the character and plot so we can see our main character have an arc and grow, normally through conflict.

so when does his brothers death become relevant? and the fact hes a cripple means he has every motivation TO BECOME Na'vi... okay where's the conflict and struggle? where's the development? why was he even a cripple? why did we even find out about his brother?

also please describe characteristics of the other character. what was Netyri's character like? how about Michelle Rodrigues? besides being the same loud tough girl she is in every film

im sorry you dont have even a basic understanding of film, story telling and character development. that isnt my fault

I'm sorry you're an arrogant snob who can't deal with the fact that people like things that you don't. Get over it.

reply

[–] brucewayne (319) 3 years ago

never said that. maybe take some reading comprehension classes and you might be able to keep up. when you re finished that I can lend you my introduction to film studies textbook and we can start there.

sorry people know more about you than film and story telling. it must be untrue lol. No wonder you are a Jesus boy too. facts and reality trigger you

HAHAHAHAHA!! Wow! You're sure full of yourself!!

You have no idea what my knowledge of film and story telling is, but let's assume you're right. Your VAST knowledge seems more a curse than a blessing. Us unwashed masses can find enjoyment and pleasure in things that your "refinements" won't allow you. Congrats!!!

[–] brucewayne (319) 3 years ago

its NOTHING if you didn't even catch what I mentioned.

LOLLL yes avatar is a quality film. only film snobs dont enjoy it.

im glad you consume trash. its like me eating a perfectly cooked quality steak and you shoveling down some Kraft dinner and complaining that you get enjoyment and pleasure in things my refinements won't allow me too

lol you seem to constantly faceplate and self own so much you should be locked away before you hurt yourself

reply

[–] chilone (17266) 3 years ago

Do you not even see what an arrogant ass you are? How are you so high and mighty to claim your tastes are the only correct ones? Who are you to claim what others like is trash? Something tells me you're very young.

reply

[–] brucewayne (319) 3 years ago

not I didn't. learn how to read Jesus boy. you clearly hate facts that's why anyone who knows more than you on a topic is arrogant. try again Jesus boy

reply

[–] chilone (17266) 3 years ago

Is you calling me Jesus boy supposed to be an insult? I take it as a complement!! But that's another shining example of your arrogance. I don't believe it so anyone who does is beneath me and subject to my (meaningless) ridicule. Hopefully you'll grow up, some day.

I'm also getting the distinct impression you're one of those "tolerant" lefties.

Completely your own opinion. That's the thing with sequels, it COULD be absolutely amazing. Did they even release the story yet?
