[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (3 children) The end action sequence was just the end action sequences from the first 2 films stacked on top of each other. The thing is, it was still visually gorgeous, and I loved watching it in the theatre. Avatar is eye candy, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Spot-on. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) This is what frustrates me. The Avatar universe has the bones to have some amazing lore and world building, but really missed on execution. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 months ago Too character driven and not enough plot drive or world building (which is ironic) permalink fedilink source parent [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 months ago Pretty sure the Exodites from Warhammer 40k have something similar going on, problem is Exodite lore is fucken barren. GW give me space murder elves, Athel Loren in space with dinosaurs is all I want, let me feed Abadon to the trees GW. permalink fedilink source parent
