Conveniently ignoring that.
You haven't seen it, you can't know if it's good
I never said it was bad. I never said it was good. I said I'm not interested. I don't like the art style. I don't like the setting. I don't like the magic. I don't like the characters. I don't even like the voice actors. There is no part of that show that is appealing to me personally. Not sure why you are so hellbent on insisting that I can't like something without watching it. I also don't like straight porn. Do you expect me to watch all of that to decide first?
And yes. It is a childrens animated television show. It was made for children and marketed to children. Which is why it was made on Nikelodeon and stars a 12 year old. You are going mental over a childrens television show.
Well, I've seen a trailer and been subjected to clip after clip after clip after clip for years by my friends who refuse to respect my basic position (much like you just did) that I'm just not interested.
I dunno what it is about Avatar fans where they simply cannot accept that someone isn't interested in their show. No one else does this.
There is literally no part of Avatar that I find even remotely personally interesting. Nothing. I'm not saying it's bad or that it isn't interesting in general, there is just absolutely nothing within that show that is appealing to me.
Step 1) Pay my rent for the next 10 years. Freaking out about it month to month is shredding years off of my life span. Also buy a new hard drive because I ran out of space for memes earlier today...
Step 2) Go to the grocery store and get a shitload of groceries, distilled water and cat food so that isn't a concern for a long time. I can not eat. The cat? Not so much.
Step 3) At the grocery store, buy every single gift card they have. I mean all of them, not just the ones on the shelves. I'd go to the manager and say to get someone for me and me alone. Open a till and go through every box of every gift card, activate them all and sell all of them to me. ALL OF THEM.
Step 4) Go to every food bank in my city and give them every gift card as well as a massive cash donation. Some of the gift cards are for the staff. Otherwise 30% goes to various purchases that will help if they wanna keep the cash for a while. The other 70% gets put in with stuff that people pick up.
Step 5) Find every charity in my local area and pay them out. Reach their goals and then some.
Step 6) Make an agreement with the city to fund an ENTIRE overhaul of the transit system. My city isn't very big but the transit here is horrific. City won't make moves on it because cost of shifting it around will mess with the budget. So, I pay for it and over the course of a very long time, I take an incredibly small amount of any money gained from transit over the amount they made prior to overhaul. That money does not go to me but instead back into those local charities.
Step 7) Open my own vet clinic that has pricing based off of income. It'd be about the same prices as any other vets in the area overall, but if you make below a certain amount then the price drops. Keeps dropping based on how much you make. So much so that if you are homeless (as I used to be) with no income at all, you can have your furry friend treated at no charge. Hire someone who is exceptionally good at destroying competition and have them do absolutely everything in their power to obliterate any other vet clinics in the area. Absolutely fucking destroy them until they can no longer function because they simply do not have enough patients. Only those with no other option than to go to them because of travel distance. When they are utterly desperate and about to be foreclosed on, give them a generous payout as well as a hiring offer. Convert their location into another branch of my own with the same low income stipulations. No one deserves to be worried about their friend simply because they cannot afford it.
Step 8) Hire a bunch of Star Trek actors to come to Newfoundland for the biggest Trek convention ever, ideally by having the Star Trek cruise set off from there after a big blowout. Brings in a ton of tourism from nerds with disposable income and as we have some pretty exceptional views you don't get anywhere else, we can cross over the tourism WITH the Trek. Make a big festival saying it's a new planet or something. This is 100% just personal love but it can help the island too so why not?
Step 9) Invest in small-scale renewables and set up programs to help lower-income people lower their electricity costs (heating in my area is all electric so the prices are fucking absurd in winter). Have solar panels or whatever else hooked up with peoples homes and have the programs set to help mantain them at a minimal cost, ideally at least 30% lower than current electricity costs. That's about $400 a year saved.
Step 10) Make some deal with the provincial government to get the moose fences set up faster. It's a local thing.
Step 11) ALL REMAINING MONEY is to be invested in trains on the island. Absolutely none exist at the moment. We shut down the railway in Newfoundland in the 80s or 90s. First off, I'm autistic and love trains. Second, trains would make travel around this island insanely fucking easy. Requires more upkeep with the weather but as it stands the road system is awful, it takes too long to transport anything anywhere and we only have one bus route that crosses the island. It sucks and is a miserable experience. Set up a train hub at Port-Aux-Basques with spidering networks that go out to the various hotspots on the island.
Honestly, I haven't seen the movie either. I just like saying that to Avatar fans because it can often it a pretty hysterical meltdown. Same thing with saying to Trek fans that Wrath of Khan is a bad movie. I do a lil trolling from time to time.
That being said, I have no interest in the Avatar series. The setting and story aren't of any real interest to me. I'm glad that people have something that they love but I am just never gonna be one of those people
Edit: I've never seen a fandom, in my life, that is more emotionally fragile than Avatar fans. Even Star Wars fans don't come slightly close, and they've been screaming about anything non-George for years.
Absolutely. He's not a prick. He's an annoying little shit and there is a big difference between the two. One is within his control. The other is just because he's too earnest and smart for his own good. Something you've gotta more tolerate than anything else because playing that down and making him feel like shit is just going to end up having him turn into a fat gay man who posts too many memes and has no life wait what was I saying?
