!kino Ne Zha 2 might actually make over 2 billion dollars and be a strong contender against Avatar 3 later this year.

It did not occur to me we are getting Blue People 3 this year. Can't wait for it to be underwhelming, and then be completely forgotten a week after being released.

And yet Avatar 2 grossed 2.3 billion dollars.
James Cameron is an expert at activating normie audiences so I expect Avatar 3 to make over 2 billion again while the audiences still struggle to remember the names of the characters.
Also, this scene is !kino

In Avatar 3 they bomb the blue people from orbit and they can't do anything against it because spear chuckers haven't mastered space travel. The end.

One can dream.
But they will probably land some giant robot that will slowly walk towards a super-volcano to succ the heat out of the planet in order to power a human Mega-Survival-Arc-Ship in orbit.
Then Jake will connect to a mother tree and animate it to chuck a giant spear at the robot. The robot will explode spilling lava all overt the place, then the film will end with plants budding from the cooled off magma signaling the rebirth of the planet.

James Cameron and his production teams make the villains super cool and then expect us to root for noble savages who lack free will and their hippie traitor human allies.

It has huge brand recognition, when you say Avatar you need to specify when speaking of the bald child one, not the Blue People one. I too expect it to be a success.
It's still complete slop that just looks impressive.

Not just brand recognition, look at the evolution of the Avatar Box office. Unlike marveshit which burns almost half of it's cartridges on the opening week, the Avatar films had much smaller opening weekends while keeping constant sales tickets and small drops over the course of weeks. The first Avatar only made 77 million dollars on it's opening weekend (US and Canada) and ended up grossing 749 million domestically (US and Canada). The Avengers (2012), made over 200 million on it's opening weekend and grossed 600 million final (both on the domestic box office).
Avatar has something which manages to draw people watching it more than once or casual audiences by word of mouth.

Idk how avatar 2 was actually received, but I could imagine if it wasnt that great that part 3 will do significantly worse that 1&2. Not super bad, cause its still decent turn-off-your-brain entertainment, but worse still.
Its gonna be the exact same movie as 1&2 anyway, even with the exact same characters.

NO CULTURAL IMPACT LIKE MARVEL

I intentionally avoided that term, because I don't believe the first film actually had no impact (and it's a very soy thing to say). I remember it quite well and often, it looked amazing for it's time and became a benchmark for CGI in other films for me (and not a favorable one).

Its true and you are right, I barely remember the second movie's plot. The first one even though I slept through most of it I still remember

Because it's just Last of the Mohicans and Dance with Wolves but the savages are blue and tall

I wish it was like Last of the Mohicans, at least the Indians on that movie weren't noble savages and had agency (siding with scheming frogs, burning a guy alive, kidnapping and possibly possibly willing to r*pe two young foids).
The Na'vi in Avatar are a hippie fantasy portrayal of the indigenous peoples.

I think the third one will fail, because it won't have either the new tech factor of the first or the Cameron oceanic autism of the second

The second one was literally the first copy and pasted, except they added annoying children. They even brought back the supposedly dead colonel.

Selling well in China is not an accomplishment. If like 5% of Chinx go to see a movie it'll earn a dozen gorillion dollars by default.

If it's Chinese made and set in china I'm pretty sure they all get forced to go to it anyway, like announcing how large the speech crowds are for north Koreans
