@365daysgone Sucked? Oh really? You are going to need a lot more than a string of tired and factually dubious arguments lifted from the backlash haters circa Dec 2009. Care to explain?

I have an idea of what Avatar could have done different: Make a unique story...have characters that we care about...have better acting all together...have more than some fancy special effects. Avatar sucked!

@whothebitchnowsucka The plot is similar to those other works you mentioned only in the "going native" subplot, which is a classic archetype that has been in use since before recorded history (and has its roots in real occurrences throughout history, I must add). None of those works "did it better" than Avatar either. Care to explain that? Plus, if you're gonna hate on Avatar, at least come up with something original of your own thought to say rather that parroting YEAR OLD internet trash.

@torukmakto4 yeah the story .... blah blah blah ..... pocahontas, dances with wolves, the last samuri. etc.... done before and better (the story that is) , the only new kick to it was that it wasnt interracial this time, but its was inter species.... ewwww

@torukmakto4 And yes we are dealing with environmental issues but that does not mean that we will kill the planet

@torukmakto4 no matter what you say I will not look to deep into this movie I recognize it made advances in cinematography but I personally didn't like it and i guess that makes me the only person in America so ill never win an argument about this movie all I know is that colonel was a badass and my hero and I knew he was talking about the company's shareholders but that says something about humanity that they are willing to destroy a people to make money

@state135 Selfridge: "...The only thing **shareholders** hate more than bad press is a bad quarterly statement." He's talking about RDA shareholders, of course.
Jake: "There's no green there. They killed their mother, and they're gonna do the same here." Well, that is an issue facing this planet now. It's social commentary, just like almost everything in this film. Commenting on the deficiencies of society is a constructive and necessary act. That's fundamental.

@torukmakto4 They said that we killed our world and that people were only doing this for money and that the one thing people hate more than bad press is a bad quarterly review so that doesnt speak well for humanity but I don't see the point in arguing with you seeing that you are an absolute fan.

@state135 Avatar does not depict "humanity" at all. RDA is a corporate entity, and that is key to understanding it. "Humanity" in the Avatar universe would likely be APPALLED if they found out exactly what RDA was doing out there, 4.4 lightyears away from society and government. Remember also that 5 primary protagonists are/were human, and 2 of those (Jake, Trudy) are ex-USMC. This story being futuristic sci-fi ("It never happened...") doesn't degrade it or render it less relevant in any way.
What a rip off for avatar. Unbelievable
