I think this is the first time I’ve seen avatar mentioned in nearly a year. Weird how a movie series that popular generates so little discussion.

DragonTypeWyvern, (edited )

I mean, a lot of people spent a lot of time discussing the first one, it just boiled down to

“It’s sci-fi Dances With Wolves, and it made a load of money.”

The sequel is the same thing, but with whales and even more explicit environmentalism/anti-colonialism

All of the social criticism is correct, but, like, do something about it, billionaire filmmaker? The discussion time is over.

can,

And some people can talk at length about an aspect of the franchise (?) that isn’t even a movie.

“It’s sci-fi Dances With Wolves, and it made a load of money.”

Sci-fi Pocahontas is more accurate, but yeah, there’s just not much to talk about beyond the effects.

Igloojoe,

I always heard it was fern gully remake.

Gork,

It’s because the movie is entirely about people of color (blue)

NoIWontPickaName,

Nah, it’s because the dirty liberals changed them from their original skin color.

Viking_Hippie,

Which was a sort of greenish yellow-purple.

NoIWontPickaName,

No, I mean the originally 1991

Viking_Hippie,

A grungy sort of beige plaid?

NoIWontPickaName,

Kinda yeah

hakunawazo,

Yes, blue environmentalists who live in the woods.

Melt,

I guess it didn’t make any meme material?

dream_weasel,

Probably because it wasn’t any good? I couldn’t even get 20 minutes into my rental to get to the plot.

CaptnNMorgan,

I saw it in IMAX 3D when it came out because I knew I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it at all at home. I was fighting sleep the entire last half, I kept waking up seeing something I thought was cool and trying to stay awake, but I still slept through most of the last ACT

variants,

After i watched the first one there’s no way im going to sit through another 4 parts

rambaroo,

It was the same with the first one. No one talked about it at all after it left theaters. I’ll never understand how these movies were such big hits.

soggy_kitty,

“no one talked about it at all”

I’ve been parts of discussions about the movie, and we’re also in one now.

No need for hyperboles

MBM,

Yellowstone is an incredibly popular series but it’s not really talked about either online

Sharpiemarker, in 3 January 2023

James Cameron or Colonel Sanders?

sbv,

Colonel Cameron

Viking_Hippie,

Much better choice than James Sanders would have been.

sbv,

We don’t talk about James Sanders.

Viking_Hippie,

Isn’t he the guy who hangs out with Bruno?

He’s a chef. Food moves through the digestive tract and gets turned to shit. If it’s everything it means that people are cleaning their plates.

Anticorp, in 30 December 2023

I don’t get it. This is the second one in quick succession that I don’t understand.

quindraco,

What happens to food that you eat?

Diabolo96,

Maybe it’s a reference to the expression “it’s the shit”

Kolanaki, (edited )
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

My immediate thought was toward enshittification. He didn’t make shit it was turned to shit. Which is exactly what happens to most things that slowly becomes popular.

Diabolo96,

Possibly, but it’s all speculation until the author himself confirms it.

Anticorp,

Oh, possibly.

“Mainstream appeal bad”

PsychedSy,

The goal of chefs is for their food to turn to shit.

sbv,

this is deeper than I expected

Anticorp, in 31 December 2023

Exposed for what? Is it a blackface thing? I guess I don’t get it.

Master,

think so

RIP_Cheems,
@RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, it’s meant to be black face.

clay_pidgin, in 31 December 2023

Huh? Is Random Guy a returning character that I’ve just missed?

Motzart, in 31 December 2008

Is it about pubes?

areyouevenreal,

Probably

uservoid1, in 29 December 2023

I didn’t get it so I had to look knowyourmeme.com/…/green-line-test-dont-lean-in

v81,

Second reply here. I didn’t get it either. Is it really a meme if no-one knows it?

onelikeandidie,

Never heard of this as well, guess I need to be chronically online or something idk

Tar_alcaran, in 29 December 2023

I’m going to need some info on this one

hyhachi,

leaning apparently displays weakness.

Rez, (edited )
@Rez@sh.itjust.works avatar

There’s this stupid theory, that men who “lean in” to the womans side are beta. People who believe this theory post edited pictures of famous couples with an added green line to show how the man is leaning in or show how a man is leaning out to explain that he’s an alpha. Obviously, this is complete BS.

Rubanski,

What’s worse, green line or hover hand?

Tar_alcaran,

In glad to hear there’s at least one corner of internet stupid that I’ve never heard of.

fckreddit, in 27 December 2023

My feelings about the new year is about the same. Only the gun in my case is imaginary. It is hard get hold of a gun in my country.

It’s a shame that someone who doesn’t want to be here has to resort to such a violent solution when humane options are feasible.

Drusas, in Random July 22 2017

It shouldn't be so taboo to admit this. Especially prior to having children. People still get treated like they're a monster if they're past 30 and say they don't want kids. They get treated like a child who doesn't know their own mind if they say so earlier than that.

RGB3x3, in 20 December 2023

Reminds me of this comic
