Ethan used to at least try. He would find funny stuff to talk about and had silly segments like "Mummy News". He just became to seething and lazy for his own good.

I would argue the Transformers films have more cultural footprint than the Avatar films. I'm not saying they aren't successful, but it's not just us who find it weird that for a franchise that makes at least 1bil each film, no one can quote it, name characters, or really say anything about it outside of "it looks pretty"

Could it be that all this time we've wrongly equated immediate box office success with long lasting cultural legacy? Correlation doesn't necessarily imply causation

At least the first one did. I remember how insane the CGI was at the time (and it still holds up today). The desert fight scene where the marines fight the scorpion bad guy transformer, the ass shot of Megan Fox working on the Camaro. I can't remember specific lines, but I remember how insane a lot of the dialog was, Bay has the knack to just put in crazy dialog for most of his characters, like hyper-caricatures. The scene where the SWAT teams break into the black kids house, the scene with Shia LaBeouf getting arrested by the sector 7 guy and they are driving away in the SUV.

Avatar, I don't remember any dialog, or any of the dialog being memorable at all. Only scenes I remember are the sex scene and the scene where the comically evil white dude shoots the fire rockets at the world tree or whatever. Biggest problem with Avatar is basically all the good guys are blue aliens (and Sigourney Weaver), and all the bad guys are humans. I haven't seen either of the newer two, but there are no good guy humans at all to root for, so it becomes more difficult for the audience to put themselves in their place. At least in a children's animated movie like Cars or something, there are either no humans at all, or the creatures they are showing are so far removed from humans, you reverse back into anthropomorphization of them. It doesn't help that I can't really think of any memorable shots in the film; there isn't really a memorable camera sequence that I can think of at all. Sure Pandora looks beautiful, but what is the 'Sunset on Tatooine' or the 'Road to Edoras' shot from the Avatar films?

But none of those people talk politics or use them as a metaphor for political happenings? I mean it would be cringe but it would also make sense and show the cultural impact of the movies.

Also again there are apparently comic books. Has anyone heard of these? Has anyone read them?

They show up on Amazon near the top, but when you use Duckduckgo(I don't use Google on my phone) it's mostly 1 or 2 of these and Last Airbender comics.

I appreciate all the goofy cover art, brings me back to trying to hide the awful covers of whatever sci-fi or fantasy I was reading back in school. If I saw that back in the day I might have picked it up just to see what the weirdness was about.

Transformers in my example isn't about how much money they made, but the fact that people can actually remember the films, even if they are shite.

Avatar is nothing but a visual, people can reference Transformers slop.

I've only ever seen the second Transfomers film, I was tricked into going with my friends. Unfortunately I can remember a lot about that film even years and years later, mostly because of how horrific it was. I THINK I have seen bits of the fifth one? Whichever one had Sir fucking Anthony god damn Hopkins in it. I can remember visuals of the first Transfomers film despite never seeing it. Whichever movie had the one where Optimus Prime wanted to rip the face off Megatron (I think that was the second one?) - the fucking...Devastator balls gag upset me as a kid because Devastator was my favorite one and they did that shit to him. fuck those movies.

fuck sake why do I remember so much from these movies.

Also fuck me for double posting

-Bro has offered up the Big Futa question to almost every guest he has.
-Kircshe (Fatty) managed to buckbreak him and then never called back meaning it was for not on his part.
-His top capos are either brown, gay, or retarded
-he called Null a pedophile.
-He plays Blue Archive.

Those threads exist for a reason :lit:
 
The almost 400 pound dumb fuck isn't happy that people are pointing out that Rippaverse is a company that goes by yearly revenue and books sold every year to determine success. He's even less happy that more people are finding that out for themselves too. 🤣

People however go watch James Cameron's films for the same reasons they went to see George Lucas' SW prequels, to wit, a creator with a huge legacy name who even when delivering trite, clumsy plots, has a knack for making a screen look gorgeous for two/three hours. Apparently this is enough for people to put asses in seats.

We should keep note that these Avatar films have massive break-even points. Avatar: The Way of Water needed around $2 billion to break even. That's insane. And it took less time for The Way of Water to make $1 billion than its sequel.

I can't believe they were all driven insane with envy and gave into racism "I don't care what people call me for saying that, that's what it is" over 1 black man who isn't even a pro, who's only been making comics for 3 years but does it better than they do AND has become more successful in such a short time as well as got more people interested in his product by now. All these people had to do was just make their own stuff and get people into it, but they couldn't even do something as simple as that. Now not only is Rippaverse and Iconic selling more, making more and getting more fans interested in their products than them, BUT NOW The Wheelers are growing in popularity as well as making their own crowdfunding site which is growing surprisingly fast now. If they can do all that, I don't see why CG can't. Here's the site the Wheelers made in case anyone's interested btw. In fact as of 17 hours ago right now they have almost 600 backers that are using that site now, assuming it didn't get there yet. And that's more backers than Faggot Frog has at this point in time with HIS crowdfunding campaigns.

"So uuuuuuuuh there's this guy... ... I don't know how to say his name, it's a reference to an Egyptian king. Scargonk or something? Anyway he's also a burfday qwawn too because he made a video on Starship Troopers, yeah I'm not a huge fan of it but I can tell it's just a republican seething about Woke."

Question: is complaining about other people really the only content EVS and YBZ actually have at this point, or is that the only content they want to have now? Because it seems to me that's the only thing they want to have instead of what talking about Comics or making their own like they used to do. Btw that was a rhetorical question, of COURSE it's the only content they want to do. It's more fun complaining than actually creating, unless you count creating dishonest propaganda as something that most normal people would be interested in..... Which of course they're not.
