Why all the Na'vi hate?

And could be summarized in ten minutes with Photoshop and a Pocahontas essay. :mrgreen: I can spend ten years drawing a mediocre piece of art that was essentially a trace of an image mixed with a few minor differences. It doesn't make the image any less exempt from critique.

The issue is people adding and pretending it was other shit than what it actually was and hating it cause it's cool to hate mainstream.
The story hardly attempted to be more than what was actually said (Fuck, the ore they were apparently trying to mine was literally called Unobtanium), the story basically played out exactly as expected as you watched it and the 'new 3D effect' hardly effected anything and was just to make everything look prettier.
Sounds like a dead straight Blockbuster Action/Adventure film, the only people that were fooled into thinking something else about it were hopeful sheep-fans, fell for the hype or derps picking/turning it into something else so they can hate something 'cool' and mainstream.

It's because the movie is over hyped, just like Twilight, and since the popularity is so huge, the industry can milk the franchise dry
With that being said, Avatar themed everything is popping up everywhere and frankly the people that liked the movie and just the movie get a little peeved
People coming up and saying that they're really a Na'vi just adds to the frustration, it's the same thing with the people who believe they're werewolves or vampires just because they watched Twilight
I myself frankly enjoyed Avatar, and I enjoyed the book Twilight, but both of their fan bases have blown up since their movies and it gives me such a headache
Also...I hate Navi the fairy

"Welcome to FurAffinity Forums, gentlemen."
Cameron and actors involved in Avatar, by their own admission, stated several times it would change your life or how you look at it. He specifically designed the Na'vi to be sympathetic sue's, stating that he added their females being hot specifically to further enhance that. The environmental message, while I can't recall it ever being overtly confirmed, is so heavy handed that to say it was unintentional was either to assume Cameron fucked up big or akin to saying "The Black-and-grey morality in Warhammer 40K is completely coincidental."

Just never cared enough to watch. I want to see the Lightning Thief movie.
I remember the first 3-D game. Damn Mario Tennis.

I'm in love with a pizza.
I think it's more of these "Na'vi'kin" than the actual movie. I liked Avatar.

I still want to see the damn money for all this. The movie is bad, yet it shot past Titanic, which I actually enjoyed, and several other movies too. How in the hell?
Also, Furries are no longer the bottom of the geek barrel. Na'vi'whatevers are.
yay.

as some one who loves looking at fantasy art avatar was a visual treat.
plot was meh but damn was it fun to look at, and while the plot did not grab me the visuals did, namely the environments, and i loved the music.
if you want an original plot, track down ponyo, its a kids movie but the plot and visuals add up to one big mindf**k, a delightfully bizzar movie. which does bring me to another point, original plots are so hard to come by these days that one has to go so outside the norm that chances are the resulting original plot will seem off-putting for some if not most viewers. i showed some of ponyo to my mom and she seriously asked me if the creator does drugs.
