Why do you assume anyone was fooled? I went to see Avatar 2 because I liked the first one and I can already tell you I’ll be in line to watch the next one when it releases.
Comment on Avatar 3 is officially titled "Avatar: Fire and Ash"

This one might flop. I feel like people gave the second the benefit of the doubt, but they won’t be fooled twice.

For real. You can’t become the third highest grossing movie of all time by fooling people.

Everyone knew the second one was more of the same and it still crushed box office records. These are pretty much guaranteed money makers.

And the “Fire and Ash” = spoiler.

And that it will take a long time to get there.
I know I won’t watch it theatres and might not even on streaming.
I think a crossover with the Aliens franchise would be fun to watch.

I only saw 2 to tip balls on mushrooms. It was still bad

The first two also succeeded because they’re hyped up as kinda “landmark” movies that you must see.
What helped with that was the long gaps in between films, but I really don’t think people are interested in seeing another Avatar film within 3 years of the last.
It just feels like “another movie” and nothing significant. I never even got around to watching the second tbh.
I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who would honestly say they actually like the Avatar films. They’re alright.

I really enjoy them and looking forward to this third one but my interest is waning. Wasn’t terribly excited for the second but saw it in theaters and man it was incredible. The whole point of these movies and why they are landmark films is the budgets and technology available and implemented into them. Stories aren’t breaking any ground but they’re not trying to, that’s not the point.
