But that’s also kind of my point. Avatar makes so much money that “who you know” should be everyone. Star Wars is completely unavoidable, but Avatar apparently trades on huge audiences that do not generate noise reaching anywhere beyond people who also already watch Avatar.

When Star Wars 7 came out, everyone I went to high school with was talking about it. Even the people who never talked about movies, fantasy, or sci-fi. When the first and second Avatars no one even acknowledged them.

I’ve never been surprised that people like Avatar. I’ve always been surprised that so many people apparently like Avatar enough to see it multiple times but never talk about it. This is the first time I’ve ever heard “Avatar good actually” be louder than “who is seeing Avatar?”

Canon isn’t a real thing anyway, so I’m not sure why anyone cares.

That pic is from the first fight isn’t it? Puig was traded with the second fight.

Nina Turner has always been an ineffective populist weirdo. She got dumpstered running for Congress the other year and blamed “evil money” despite having a higher out-of-state fundraising total.
