Also in twenty years there’s going to be a generation of people who will assert “I loved those Avatar movies as a kid.” “They don’t make em like that anymore.” Etc.
Avatar has had a staggering cultural impact, in that every time one of the movies is released there is a flood of articles/comments/assertions about how little cultural impact it has had, any franchise that causes that consistent level of engagement in the chattering class is making a hell of a mark

The thumbnail of M3gan 2.0 is M3gan spiking the camera as she tilts down sunglasses that she does not need nor are featured in the film. This should tell you most of what you need to know about M3gan 2.0. #filmsky
