The Avatar sequel is the third highest grossing film of all time and only came out a year ago. Yeah, it's so shocking they might want to make money off that IP.

Things that were never said, sigh. It wasn't a comment on quality. I thought the first one was shit and never plan to see another.
He acted like it was something no one was interested in ("who the hell gives a fuck"). That is objectively false.

Moronic rap music in trailers where it doesn't fit is real annoying. Spider-Man 2 sure, but Prince of Persia? Assassin's Creed? Greek and Norse mythology? Fuckin' hell.

Interesting. Blue man group noble savage just never worked for me. They tried really hard to make it new star wars but aside from those weirdo cosplayers when the first one came out I can't think of anyone who isn't ambivalent.

That statement was so shocking I had to BoxOfficeMojo it, and sure enough. How is that possible? I don't know a single person that saw Avatar-Water in the theatre and those that saw it on HBO later all were bored to tears with it.
Then you have films like Top Gun Maverick that every single person I know went to see it and many of them multiple times. This is teenage nephews/nieces, friends in their 20's, 30's, 40's and even my wife and my parents that are in their 60's, 70's, 80's. It appealed to all age ranges and everyone loved it.
How the fuck does a film, that zero people I know saw and zero people I know loved make more than a Billion dollars more than a film that seemingly everyone saw and loved?
Fuck this fake, gay, and stupid world.

Top Gun outperformed Avatar in the domestic market but got stomped internationally.

If it makes you feel any better, Avatar:WW is not even in the top 10 all time if you adjust for inflation.

Would you really know if all those people didn't see Avatar, especially the more extended family? It came out during the holiday period (like the first one) and benefitted quite a bit from that -- it's one of those films that hits all four quadrants so makes for a compromise film to watch for the holidays. Still, even then, it had great holds so it wasn't some front loaded behemoth or anything. I'm not sure it's universally loved but it certainly has some rabid support. It does have generally good audience ratings from different sources, though. I really don't get it but it has some appeal I don't understand.
There's music I've come across that I'd never heard of before and billions of people have. It's a big world, even the most popular things can fall outside your sphere.

That's true but still only something like a 30-40 million difference, so the amount of audience goers is pretty close.

Just go hit up the local library. I've got like 5 of them within 10 minutes of where I live. Barely even go game shopping anymore, I just drop by one of the libraries when I'm in the area and grab a few things. They usually get new games within 3-4 days of release if they're any kind of big deal, it costs nothing, and (at least here) they let you keep things for like a month. ...which basically means as long as you want because you can bring something back and check it out again immediately. Though I never needed more than a week or two with anything.
There are still games worth buying, like Fromsoft stuff and things I absolutely have to play on release day. But anything I can wait on, I just go check it out when I'm ready to play it. It's sort of like going to a game store, except you can grab whatever you want (within reason, most of them have like a 5 game at a time policy).
F the game industry at this point.
