Avatar 2 will flop I thinkI had those fears till I rode the Disney ride. The movie still might end up meh overall, but I'm confident they'll wow people once again.
Relative to the original ofc. The novelty is gone.
i'm 100% behind bananaKing here.I had a perfect response typed out that would have changed your mind but I lost it so...
i like the world of star wars i guess. i mean, light sabers are cool as hell. there are very interesting designs in the various aliens as far as costumes go. the idea of a planet destroying ship was interesting (the first time). but the format and story telling in the movie is just terrible. the new movies copy that format and get trashed for it but its true to the star wars formula,.. it's just a bad movie formula.
i've yet to watch any of the disney+ series yet but i'll bet that is the best star wars has to offer. the long series format just HAS to be a better format for telling a meaningful story in this universe. it's a space soap opera where nothing can be even half way explored as they try to fit into a 90 minute format so every scene is highly abbreviated, characters are shallow, and story line takes abrupt unjustified transitions.
in the new movies one of the things to be annoyed about is how rey went from a nobody to a fudgy jedi juggernaut without anything in between. well guess what,.. so did luke.
also, i'm fudgy tired of death stars. if you can't come up with something other than a death star just don't make another star wars movie.
...it was kind of bad. beautiful movie but the story was derivative at best.
TLDR:I used to think like you till I rewatched them last week. I'm not the biggest fan of star wars.
As for Avatar, how is this not deep!?!? /s
