Avatar: A "Great warning for generations to come"

 I can't even make up a snarky comment for this. It's just, just...wow. This might just be the most perfect specimen of an Avatard I've ever encountered. Misanthropy, bullshit attempts to tie the film in with real world history (which in fact, trivializes the real world suffering of 'colonized' peoples), belief in aliens, elitism, and the not so subtle implication that he believes the events of the movie will really happen.

I can't help but laugh at how he's been "dying to see a movie like this". A common defense that avatards make is that they are perfectly aware of how unoriginal and done to death the story is, but that it doesn't matter to them. Yet, here we see a fan who apparently thinks this is the first ever film of it's type to have such a message. Just further proof that avatards don't know jack shit about film history (or even the history of their own "movement", which proves that they probably never cared about environmentalism before seeing the movie)

"and yes i am attacking the being called human, because that's what they are. And i am one of them, there is no escape from it".

I would give him a point for acknowledging that he can't escape what he is (unlike other avatards who think they actually are Na'Vi or can become Na'Vi), but I'd also take it away from him for referring to humans as if they were a seperate species, so no points for you!

"i hope that by the time humans are colonizing alien planets they act in our terms "human" towards the indigenous lifeforms, no matter what profit might or might not be gained."

No, us humans will simply make a profit off of them by showing them a shitty movie about how corporations and capitalism suck that was made by a corporation and made billions of dollars through the capitalist system. It's an old human tradition we call "hypocrisy" and/or "liberalism".

I'm never going to forget this post whenever I see another avatard claim that no one has taken this movie to heart.

Avatards: At war with their own feelings:

A common tactic used by Avatards when defending their favorite movie is to argue that the film, whether or not it was any good, must be considered a technical masterpiece simply because James Cameron created his own planet (yeah, I know how stupid that sounds, since pretty much anyone can create their own planet when writing fiction). Some of the more intelligent ones (and I say intelligent solely on the fact that they realize how easy it is to dream up your own planet) will argue that it's not even that which is special about Cameron creating Pandora, but that Pandora is special because Cameron thought up a whole language, culture and ecosystem and science for it. They will also say "only an intelligent mind can appreciate and comprehend such an achievement".

So basically these dipshits are arguing that liking Avatar makes you a scientific genius or an intellectual, and that anyone who dislikes the film must be an idiot who knows nothing about science.

Except that, Avatards can't even agree on the simplest basics about the 'science, culture' etc.

For example, the troll SewageMan started a thread pointing out the racial stereotypes that went into the Na'Vi, and one of the things he and his supporters cited was how the Na'Vi were portrayed as a violent, stupid warrior culture who needed a white man to unite them. This is how the Avatards responded to this accusation:

Now remember, ALL Avatards like the film because they can comprehend the brilliant, scientific world-building put into the film.

On another thread, resident superfan xy-ted, who actually HAS researched all of the science, language and other crap that the film didn't bother to go into, has this to say about the Na'Vi culture, who remember, do not fight amongst themselves according to the two idiots above:

So they DO fight amongst themselves.

This proves that yes, there ARE intelligent Avatards out there who have researched the Na'Vi culture and the "science" of the planet, etc. Not that this makes them Rhodes Scholars or anything, but it at least shows they know their shit about, well, their shit.

....And such fans are a minority whom other fans disagree with about something as simple as whether or not the Na'Vi fight amongst each other.

I don't know what's more pathetic; obsessive fanboys who have memorized every useless detail about a film, including stuff that you could only learn from bonus material that was not even in the film, or obsessive fanboys who can't get the most basic details right about their favorite movie that they will vehemently defend.

Wouldn't it be the greatest case of irony ever, if it turned out that a majority of Avatards, the same ones who make death threats against people who hate the movies, whine about being oppressed as if they were a minority, and dress up in stupid costumes for videos that they broadcast over the internet for all the world to see.....haven't even seen the film?

Avatard remakes the same thread over and over again for the course of a year:

I might have to change the name of this blog to "johnlindsey289 is mentally ill", because he just keeps popping up and up here. We've seen his fail before, but now, my esteemed colleague, "100Aliases" has shown me the depths of his madness. On IMDb, posts get ignored all the time, so it's not uncommon for someone to occasionally remake the same thread. What is uncommon is, well, just look at this shit:

Dozens of people are sick of his shit:



To add to the scare factor, Alias tells me that Johnny frequently deletes his own posts, and that he didn't include existing posts from 2010 and 2011 by Johnny that are about the same topic. Alias has been posting on IMDb under different accounts and names since the 90's, and he remembers Lindsey doing this even back then.

That's right, this shit is just a small fraction of one man's madness, with plenty left out. Alias also tells me that Lindsey's catgirl threads are even more abundant and so scary that he didn't even bother transcribing them:

Keep in mind that Alias is a big horror and comic book fan, so he doesn't frighten easily or get too angry when it comes to moronic fanboys (he actually has a recurring series on his blog about stupid Amazon reviewers), but johnlindsey289 creeps even him out.

Still think Avatards are 'normal' people?

Cracked.com commenters beat James Cameron at his own game:

Cracked.com really can surprise you once in a while. Today they showed the winning entries in a contest entitled "Deleted scenes that would make you root for the villain", and guess what #1 was?

 It's funny because it may as well be true.
Although Cracked.com commenters have never been known for their brains (it's truly amazing how little some of the commenters have actually read of the articles they respond to), they made my day with some comments that show that I'm not alone in hating the film's stuck up Mary-Sue terrorist "heroes":

 Some of them even brilliantly pointed out how that would have made the story more interesting:

This man needs to be hired by Hollywood, pronto.

 Unfortunately, the article didn't go unnoticed by lurking Avatards, who once more display their profound inability to take a joke:

 The last asshole thankfully got his:

 All in all, this whole experience doesn't display anything I didn't know, but it does show that even amongst the infamously stupid legion of illiterates, rednecks, creeps and basement dwellers that make up Cracked.com commenters, there is still more creativity, wit, ability to understand humor and popular culture, and desire for complex and morally ambiguous stories than your average Avatard is capable of. Taitano and Balticavenue17 both showed more creativity in their comments than the entire movie itself did.

More fun from Google images...

 

So true....

Wow, Cameron sure is a master of cinematography....
