I find it rather interesting that online I rarely see anything posted from fans about the Avatar movies especially since the latest one Avatar: The Way of Water is in theatres. The only thing that seemed to get mentioned is the constant "record breaking" box office numbers by the media. But I never randomly see any fan posts or comments about the characters, plot of the movies, fan edit videos, etc. It's as if the movie doesn't exist.
I like seeing what other fans are interested in and the Avatar movies don't seem to be one of them, at least online. I'm sure if I go searching for it, I'll probably find something. However, lately I have seen a lot of posts, comments, etc. about some of the following movies: Teen Wolf: The Movie (despite how divisive it has become, my thoughts on this movie later, it's getting plenty of attention online), Glass Onion (the Knives Out sequel), Titanic, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars movies, Woman King, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Top Gun: Maverick, Matilda the Musical, The Lost City, Wakanda Forever, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Black Adam and other DC Comics and Marvel movies, just to name a few.
From a fan perspective, it's kind of surprising that such big box office breaking movies don't seem to spark any inspiration and creativity with fans. Obviously, people are going to see the current Avatar sequel movie but there's no fandom interaction or engagement from it afterwards, which is very interesting.
