Another Avatar Rant Because I’m Tired of Being Tired.

I just read another article about how the Avatar sequels have been delayed *insert large number of times here* and I had to stop reading because I found myself getting upset…again lol.

I am sooooo impatient! I’m tired of waiting, as I’m sure many fans are.

Like, did y’all know the Avatar sequels were announced in 2010 and the original release dates for Avatar 2 and 3 was supposed to be December 2014 and 2015?? THAT’S how many time the release dates have been pushed back. 2014 was already 5 years after the original which is long enough for a sequel (in my eyes), anyway).

I’m glad that James Cameron only wants to present the best of his work for these sequels, but I will be honest and say that I have moments where I’m just losing steam. I’m tired of holding onto hope that we will actually see these sequels. Thinking of Avatar as a standalone movie is what keeps me in the fandom because I’ll be honest again: some of the news that has been released about these films don’t sound appealing to me. Such as:

  1. Quaritch being the villain of all four sequels. Why? He died. Keep him dead. And having the same villain for FIVE movies? James Cameron better be really creative because that will get old. Fast.
  2. Avatar 2 taking place A WHOLE DECADE after the first film. I’m sure this was done because it’s actually been over a decade since the first film anyway, but yikes. Time jumps have never been my favorite when it comes to stories.
  3. The story will allegedly focus largely on Jake and Neytiri’s three children who are all extremely young. Yea….can’t say that sparks my interest. Like, at all.

I know the December 2022 date is apparently the definite release date, but at this point, how many definite release dates have we gotten??

I’m just tired. I’m tired of hoping. I’m tired of waiting. I’m tired of being strung along because that’s all it is at this point, being strung along. So from this moment forward, in my mind, Avatar is a standalone movie until the next one hits theaters…if it ever even does.

I will no longer be reading any updates, news releases, or viewing any Avatar concept art. These movies should have been released ages ago.

A part of me even thinks that the new storyline allegedly focusing on Jake’s and Neytiri’s kids is because a large portion of the audience for this movie will most likely not be the same people who loved it back in 2009. We’ve all grown up and you can’t really find any fandom geeks like myself still involved in the fandom.

Even the forums that used to be full of life with thousands of members interacting every day, all hours of the day, are practically dead. If you visit them, you’ll get the same few people who have held on all this time. I was a silent lurker in two forums since 2014 and can attest that those two are practically dead and I see the same three to five names every time I log in.

So maybe this film is for the new generation. Generation Z.

Idk, I’m just rambling at this point because I’M FRUSTRATED! 😭

Release these daggon movies and stop playing with us!!

Why Quaritch Returning For All The Avatar Sequels Makes No Sense (a small rant)

I might just be ranting into the void here, but am I the only one annoyed that Quaritch will be returning for the Avatar sequels? All. Four. Of. Them.

He’s not the only one supposedly returning from the dead but I’m sticking to only talking about Quaritch here.

The actor, S. Lang, did his job well as I absolutely hated the character of Quaritch. I mean, we weren’t actually supposed to like him. He was a villain. A villain with the age-old reason for being a villain: Greed. Greed that then turns into genocide. You know, like real life.

He served his purpose for the first movie and I personally feel like he is not needed anymore. There are only so many ways you can present the trigger happy, money hungry human who sees indigenous people as “savages” for a compelling story. And I, for one, am not interested in seeing him be the main antagonist again or team up with any other antagonists the future stories might have. And if I’m being 1000% honest, I don’t want to see him grow a heart and do the ol’ switcheroo either, fighting for “the good guys” now.

The main reason I don’t want him in any sequels is because he’s supposed to be dead. Heart not beating. Brain no longer functioning. DEAD. Homie got shot by Neytiri with not one, but three arrows. One to the heart and two to other areas of his chest.

At the beginning of the movie, Quaritch himself made a huge whoopdidoo about the Na’vi using arrows tipped in poison that stops the heart in only a matter of seconds. And I quote:

“They’re fond of arrows dipped in a neurotoxin that will stop your heart in ONE MINUTE.”

Once again, this man was shot with THREE of these. And I’m supposed to believe that he somehow survived??? Or am I supposed to believe that of all times to not use a poison tipped arrow, Neytiri chose not to use poison tips during an all-out war??

And even if she didn’t use a poison tip, she still shot him in the heart at least once. So, it just makes no sense to me. And I am personally not find of characters being brought back to life when they are supposed to be dead and we actually saw them die on screen.

Leave the crazy man dead. Throw his whole character away. He’s served his purpose and is no longer needed. Get a different villain.

You want to bring somebody back from the dead? Bring back Tsu’tey.

The First Post!

All these years I have been a fan of the Avatar film, I have never seen the director’s extended cut. I’ve finally watched it and omg the emotiiioonnss! So many things just hit home harder. The impact is sooo much more intense and I just….wow 💙💙

I know this movie gets a lot of hate, but I teared up so many times watching this.

Stunning graphics and effects, a story with heart and a great message. Idc what anyone says. This will never not be an amazing film.
