It showed up out of nowhere, made the most bank in history (for a movie), refused to explain and disappeared for like 15 years, then came back out of nowhere with a sequel movie, a AAA game, and like 3 more movies in the works.
Edit: I think it now has like a Lego line too?
I didn’t say no one liked the first one.
They loved it, everything about it except the story. It was groundbreaking CGI and visually stunning.
No one wanted it a franchise except James Cameron though.
And when you strip away the story from any movie and rely on flashing visuals…
Dumb is the target demographic, they didn’t care about the story anyways.
The second one is the third highest grossing movie of all time. So clearly some people wanted more.
