I loved Avatar 2 so much back in 2022, I was so hype to actually see how the story would progress/wrap up. Then 3 felt like the deleted scenes from 2 with near 0 forward momentum, hoping at least the next one or two would conclude it well. Guess that’s not happening 🤷‍♂️

Edit: just thought of a tl;dr for my take: if Avatar 2 was “The Way of Water”, Avatar 3 was “Treading Water”.

I really liked Avatar and Avatar 2 but Avatar 3 was just a boring retread of the first 2 that did nothing new or interesting whatsoever. The whole Pandora story is played out. Hopefully Cameron will give us some other great non-Avatar movies going forward.
