Avatar: The Way of Water Trailer Reactions – Do Fans Still Care About Pandora?

Avatar: The Way of Water‘s full trailer was released online today, and needless to say, the world is sitting up and taking notice! The trailer for Avatar 2 has racked up more than 8 million viewers in the first 9 hours of being released, suggesting that there is indeed still a massive amount of fan anticipation for this long-awaited sequel.

Then again, it’s been 13 years since Avatar was released in theaters and changed movies forever, setting a new billion-dollar box office standard, and ushering in a new era of 3D and CGI realism. In that time, the kids who were obsessed with Pandora have all grown up, and it’s wildly unclear if they still care about returning to James Cameron’s world – or if a new generation of viewers are jumping onboard. 

The Way of My Smile

It’s been a long, long wait to even get a trailer for Avatar 2 released. Some fans are thoroughly committed to enjoying it. 

Who Cares?

For every fan that is elated about getting the Avatar 2 trailer, there’s one that is reacting like this.

Watched It On My Phone

If you watched the Avatar: The Way of Water trailer on your phone, did you really see it? James Cameron would say, “No.” 

Where You Whelmed Enough?

After such a long wait, is it any surprise that not all fans’ dreams and expectations were fulfilled? 

Got My Water, Show Me the Way

The title “The Way of Water” is inspiring all kinds of jokes. This is only the beginning. 

Mommy Huntress

There’s been a lot of immediate focus put on Zoe Saldana’s Neytiri going on a hunt while looking very pregnant. James Cameron is once again doing away with social conventions about how “fragile” women are, in this case while rearing children. 

Dread Authenticity

This jokes about the level hairstyling amount the Neytiri are also just beginning. Not all the details of Avatar’s tribal metaphors translate well to the screen. 

Marvel In Their Feelings Right Now

Ouch. All those hardworking digital artists at Marvel Studios are throwing up their hands right now, wondering what it all those late hours were for. Compared to Avatar: The Way of Water, their work clearly came up short.
