    Once again I must restate that “popular” doesn’t mean just the people YOU interact with.

    Easy, “I see you, Jake Sully” from the first one, from the second one it’d have to be “I can’t believe I’m tied up again!” by little Tuk or a bloodlusted Neytiri saying “A son, for a son”.

      You’re 100% wrong and being a dick.

      Avatar the blue people was the highest grossing film, a metric touted by media. Which then I’m sure people rewatched.

      However Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra sell far more merch and nearly a decade after the first aired it was rereleased on Netflix and becomes one of the most rewatched series. On top of that there is a clear fandom for Avatar that the movies entirely lack.

      How about this, go find me more people with blue people Avatar tattoos, clothing, fanfic, etc.

      You are mistaking someone dumping money into the blue people Avatar as success. It is not. A theme park isn’t publicly funded, that’s meaningless. You’re gonna tell me Six Flags is more popular than Pizza because it has theme parks? No

      The evidence is clear buddy. Avatar belongs to the benders
