Avatar (film)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** There's someone who wants to form an actual Na'vi tribe in Florida (he has nominated himself ''Tsahik'' already), speaking of things like future government structure, organization of councils with other tribes, [[Completely Missing the Point|having "an identity card with photo, signature, barcode, hologram and other features"]], ''seeking international recognition as a new ethnic group''... Oh, and to go and speak at Native Americans events.

** "Avatar Depression Syndrome:" Suicidal thoughts brought on by a hope of being reincarnated as a Na'vi. Despair brought on because they will never get to experience the glory of the beautiful utopian world that is Pandora. Good thing about this one, it's self-correcting.

* [[Gannon Banned]]: [[I Am Not Shazam|Calling anyone in the film "Avatar", or calling the Na'vi "Avatars".]]

* [[Growing the Beard]]: For the [[3D Movie]] trend; this movie may mark the turning point where 3D versions are no longer just a gimmick to charge movie-goers extra.

* [[Tainted by the Preview]]: The anticipation, to date, went something like this: "A new movie by James Cameron? The guy who directed ''Aliens''? All very hush-hush? [[Noodle Incident|It could be anyth]]--oh the teaser trailer's out? It's [[Space Marine|Space Marines]] vs. [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|Native American alien]] [[Catgirl|cat people]]? That's ''it''? Screw you, James Cameron, screw you." When some people have seen the ads on [[Cartoon Network]], they're convinced that it'll be [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|too kiddish for them]]. Then the movie came out, and the preview turned out to be a fairly complete ''[[Trailers Always Spoil|plot summary]]''.

* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Many say Cameron has averted this by making the Na'vi look human and likeable, but just shy of creeping into uncomfortable territory. Specifically their eyes. Cameron noted that CGI humanoids tended to have "dead eyes" so he took extra care in filming the actors' eyes during motion-capture filming. He may have gone too far in the other direction.
