>BLACK THEATERS MATTER
lies
What was supposed to happen? Is cheering or something after a trailer a thing in the US?
Avatar 2 won’t even crack a billion
Wouldn't dead silence imply that they were interested in it? When I go people talk through the trailers most of the time.
>literal who guy on twitter
I don't rate avatar but I think there's some merit in the trailer's earnestness and I wouldn't be surprised if the silence was because of the surprisingly peaceful music and pacing of the trailer taking people out of their trains of thought. That's what happened when I watched it
>let me fire this up to mock this shit
>music plays
>......oo
>NOOO WHY DIDN'T THEY LIGHT FIREWORKS LIKE IN MUH HECKING WHOLESOME SUPERHERO FILMS
Nobody cares about Avatar. It's literally a choice between having zero cultural impact from people not knowing what the fuck Avatar is to have negative cultural impact when you remind them and they remember they didn't really care about the movie.
And before you mention the first one made like $10B or whatever, good luck ever pulling that scam again. Nobody cares about 3D and everybody knows that it's a gay smurf movie for furries now so you'll never get those box office numbers again. Not even close.
I made a screencap of your post so I can laugh at you in December

You might say this man's brain has certain expectations
people reacting to trailers gets a ssssshhhhh at my theater
I have never heard a single peep out of anyone at a theatre in reaction to a trailer.
Is this an American thing?
>this is what butthurt haters ACTUALLY believe
cry more
You don’t see movies with friends and make little comments after trailers? I mean I don’t either because I don’t have any friends but you should feel bad too.
No; it's a global thing. You just live in a retarded country.
nobody liked avatar people just went and saw it because of the 3d gimmick
>like twenty other movies with 3d at the same time
>none of them became the highest grossing of all time
What a gimmick!
This. They really hyped the fuck out of it and everybody wanted to check it out.
Who talks about Avatar or references Avatar or gets inspired by Avatar? Answer: nobody. The movie came out, people saw it, South Park made fun of it, then it literally just went away...
...and that's where it should have stayed because honestly this shits about to get embarrassing. Aint nobody giving a fuck.
>actual humans killed themselves over this film
>where are my memes? My funko pops? Why doesn’t twitter talk about it?
>cultural relevance
why is this always the argument that outs mcu fanboys?
and why are mcu fanboys butthurt because avatar is the highest grossing film?
"Pandora depression" was a myth. It was concocted by media shills to give the franchise a halo of sorts... to make it seem like no other franchise.
Omg is there situations in USA when people are not silent during trailers? Do you usually cheer and boo during kino sessions or something?
Americans are fucking stupid and disrespectful in theatres, clapping and cheering and shit. I didn't pay money to listen to that, shut the fuck up please.
I saw it in 2009 and I think this is a solid action movie. It has no genius plot or deep meaning, though.
It has great world building though. And the human tech is pretty awesome. The gunships and all that.
Confirmed zoomer born in 2004 you weren't there you don't know shit. There was a handful of 3D in the 2000s prior to Avatar a lot of them were also things like nature docs or concert films or children's films. But after Avatar everything was 3D, everything it was the fucking catalyst for the 3D resurgence. Avatar just was a 3d spectacle unlike the few 3d films before it and avalanche of 3d films after. But now everyone hates 3D so there's no new gimmick for the film to blow people away with.
I don't get this shit. Suddenly everyone has always been extremely dedicated and interested in comics? I'm 32. When I was a kid a kid might have a comic the odd time. They were expensive and there was only one store in the city that had more obscure ones. I don't remember anyone sneaking into Barnes and Noble to read them or anybody talking about Marvel the way these bozos do. Did it come after?
>nobody cared about this movie after the initial hype
>you weren’t there so you don’t know why it sucked
What did he mean by this
It came after it became a billion dollar industry. In this “reality” the same people who ridiculed me for my interests now control the market for them.
>dead silence
not even a gun shot?
and yet they were selling a lot compared to today
Do people in the US really make any noise in the theater? I thought that was a racist stereotype.
I genuinely believe these people are making it up. The amount of people who actually actively read comic books is minuscule. They know the characters. Maybe they watched the cartoons- probably watched the cartoons. But the amount of people "going to the comic shop every Wednesday" is like, gotta be in the low six figures, and I feel like I'm high balling that.
ab-so-lutely i saw revenge of the sith in a black theater and the audience did not hold back
This movie doesn't come out until December. Second trailer will show Ewya getting destroyed, more of the kids and more deep sea creatures and will sell the movie.
>cute
>manchin like Superman
same thing on my theater today on Dr Strange, completely silent, its because it looks like a shit animation movie from pixar or something, cgi looks exactly like 13 years ago or so when 1 came out, few human characters so its kinda shit
I literally only read comics from my school library and would blaze through them in a single day,return them at the end of the day and get pissed that the collection wasnt complete so I would be blue-balled from knowing the endings to cliffhangers.
>Marvel Zombies
>Invinicible (I wonder if I had taken a UV light to the pages on the rape scene one)
>Power Pack
>the Runaways
>ZOO
and then Im not sure if you could count it but graphic novella like MAUS.
They did just that when the maverick trailer played
This, the last 3D movie I remember in theaters before avatar was Spy Kids 3, and that was still the red & blue kind. After avatar they all suddenly became that polarized theme park style 3d, but everybody also agreed the movie itself was corny as fuck, Pocahontas with cat people and sentient trees with USB cables growing out of them, kek
And all the animals had to have six legs LMAO
What a dumb movie
Cameron ahould have waited 10 more years for nostalgia to kick in
Wait which Avatar? The blue monkeys or the bald kid?
Yeah, all the kids in the 90s and on were definitely into the cartoons; Batman TAS, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Batman Superman Adventures, Superman TAS, Spider-Man and Spider-Man Unlimited, Hulk, Batman Beyond, X-Men Evolution, Wild CATS, even Justice League are all kid of the same generation of shows and kids bought all the toys & stuff and even trading cards and Wizard magazines, but the comics themselves? Didn't know anybody reading them.
I'm also 32
I knew exactly one marvelfag in highschool
these guys are full of shit or a lot younger
Well opening night for a capeshit film will have diehard capeshit fans like my theater had
They were all oozing for their Dr. Weird fix
I saw Insidious 3 in a black theater and the audience was losing their minds so hard the theater called the cops in, lel
Avatar was always about the visuals. Seeing it in imax 3d when I was 13 left me feeling like somebody had spiked my blue raspberry slushie with molly.
>In this “reality” the same people who ridiculed me for my interests now control the market for them.
Pretty much and now they can pretend how much they loved it the entire time.
Yeah, don't think it will be as big of a hit as the first one. Avatar was only so successful because of muh CGI crap, something that is now basically standard for so so many big movies. There just isn't really a big hook.
What a smooth-brained take lmao. There have been big CGI blockbusters before and after Avatar and how many of them can claim the same success?
Great word of mouth carried Avatar for months and that's something that only happens if a movie really grips the audience on a level almost never seen. People don't get that involved just because of some pretty CGI you simpleton.
What's interesting to me is that philosophically Avatar was protowoke and had a bunch of the usual shit, colonialism whining, dancing with wolves reboot, white people bad etc. The culture however has moved so far past it i wonder if the current generation will eat it up again or they'll call it out as hokey and invent some new kind of racism to denigrate it. I don't think it has the staying power. Avatar was like a cheap drug, big visuals and the promise of a magical rebirth but on the come down you don't have anything and this whole 6? movie thing feels like suicide.
31 from germany here. I always thought they were older, not younger. getting addicted to comic books would make a lot more sense for a child or teenager in the 70s, 80s or early 90s than later on. in our generation the gameboy and PC gaming just took off, then before we were even teenagers the internet became thing. seems like that would be the death of comic books, not a renaissance. my dad collected Asterix comics in the 70s and he was a sports and cars Chad, not a nerd. that makes sense to me. people used to read more books and comic books went along with that, for kids. comics were more mainstream before us late millennials, not after.
like others I also grew up reading comic books from the library for basically free, barely spent money on new issues. I was saving up for stuff like video games and RC cars. nowadays collecting comic books has to be as fringe as model trains or those Warhammer figurines. another sign that comic books are actually a small and dying industry is that it's been taken over by SJWs on a rampage to infuse the lore with their ideology. this wouldn't happen in an industry that's doing well. this shit happens to dying and struggling mediums like newspapers, cable tv, the cinema...
what are you talking about avatar was like marketed as a cgi experience. i dont think people are going to care about going to the imax as much anymore
>interest
>in trailers
>that everyone who cared had already seen a month before
There's a trailer for Avatar 2?
the big hook for Avatar was that the 3D gimmick was JUST taking off and Avatar was touted (rightfully) as one of the first to do it properly, not as an afterthought. they shot the whole movie with 3D in mind and did some things right that everybody else got wrong. other "3D" movies were often only converted from a 2D feed with dodgy techniques, and they tended to try to push objects out of the screen which never fucking works because where you sit in the theatre drastically changes the perceived depth. Avatar treated the screen as a window and the 3D happens on the other side of that window, not in the viewing room.
couple that with "director of T2 and Titanic" and you've got something that interests men and women alike. we know why Avatar turned into a big hit, and another decade down the road there is no such argument to make for Avatar 2, 3 or 7. 3D did not become the standard. most movies don't bother with it and most viewers don't care about it. it's not new any more so all those extra tickets bought by people who wanted to see the new thing at its best, that's not happening a second time.
The only films to ever do 3D properly were Avatar and Dredd.
I am 34 and also from Germany. Came to this country in '99, could read German properly one year later. The central public library in my city had tons of comics, including erotic Franco-Belgian stuff that you could not borrow as a teen but at least view on site.
I never got the hype for stuff like Lucky Luke (and spinoffs like Rantanplan or Daltons) or that Marsupilami thing. DuckTales was also something I could never get into. Luckily, they also had Battle Angle Alita and other high quality Japanese graphic novels.
