If there was a constant stream of Avatar junk since the theatrical run and the bluray came out, I'm pretty sure people here would still be playing Twister to explain away it being one of the most successful and popular films ever made. Too bad actual Disney films don't have to live up to this ridiculous non-achievable standard you set for Avatar. I don't see anyone saying, "People in the mainstream don't obsess over the Little Mermaid anymore, can the dark ride Disney, you morons!"

I'm also sick of examples like "I saw the movie 10 times but hated it, so everyone is like me." So disingenuous. You sound worse than a politician.

Not sure if that last part was directed at me, but I clearly said that I saw it twice and that I enjoyed seeing it both times. I don't think I ever remember seeing a post from anyone on this board who said they saw it multiple time and hated it.

If construction could be starting now that is almost a year before anyone expected could they be fast tracking pandora now ?

Is that what you think or is that for real

It's an educated guess.

The source of the information is nebulous at best. Add to that there have been no permits filed for construction, not talk of equipment moving backstage, and none of the social media hoopla that comes with a project of this size beginning, and it paints a clear picture, in my opinion.

Analysis from actual industry insides says a lot of people saw it 3 to 5 times. That's why its performance was so extraordinary. If you want to read that as "people didn't care about it," you're just another hater trying to re-write reality to match your own sour grapes.


No one is arguing that the movie isn't good or isn't the #1 blockbuster in movie history.

That said, how many people are going to be basing their vacation decisions on Avatar? You could argue that people come to Uni specifically for Potter and that families with little girls will flock to the MK due to the new princess offerings. The same simply can't be said for Avatar.

If Disney is going to be spending $500 mil on an expansion with a property that isn't it's own and that doesn't even fit the theme of the park it's in, there are many better ways for them to spend their money.

As for betting for or against Cameron, there have been many, many filmmakers that have had impressive winning streaks that still have the eventual disaster. I'm not saying these sequels will be them, but I wouldn't be betting that much money on something unseen, as Disney appears to be doing.

Still, it wouldn't be too hard to believe that they would move forward for land clearing to move FotLK even if Avatar never happens.
