minus-squarechiliedogg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·3 days agoThe 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. Oh - and I do think the idea of trees with shared root systems forming a planet-wide distributed consciousness is actually pretty awesome sci-fi.

minus-squarevaultdweller013@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoPretty 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.
minus-squarecattywampas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 days agoThis is what frustrates me. The Avatar universe has the bones to have some amazing lore and world building, but really missed on execution.
