Poll: What is the most ridiculous controversy that has came from Avatar

[Daffy F]

I think the most ridiculous controversy would definitely be number 2, I mean what the fuck! Feminists are so stupid sometimes it's unreal. Generally ON EARTH males are more muscular than females... Does this mean their next move will be to try and convince all the world governments to make a law that all men must be equally muscular to all women. Whoopee.

 

[Tartarga]

Probably the Halo stuff. I mean so what if they look similar to the Halo ships, they still look cool.

 

[Premonition]

So wait, that smoking thing was controversial at some point? Seriously?

 

[LWS666]

i chose 2, but it was a close one between 1, 2 and three

They didn't copy dances with wolves. They copied the Disney classic Pocahontas.

Spoiler: See for your self.

I thought they copied Ferngully, given the monster truck was a direct rip off.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARG! Stop it! Do you think that you are gonna impress anyone, change someone mind! Maybe they'll think "well... maybe I'm wrong about the movie"? Stop using someone else's humor as your own, PLEASE!!! For the love of god people, WE GET IT, WE UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT. So please, just stop pretending to be funny. People gonna like it, people gonna hate it and their is NOTHING that you can say or do that will change that.

And, I would challenge anyone to come up with a completely original story idea, something that at some level has never ever been done. You can't! Take it from me, a story writer, that original ideas are never totally original, just original in degrees. Even if you wrote a story about a Cucumber which journeyed across cyberspace to find a magic maguffin that turns cake into pinecones, is gonna be similar on some level to another story.

Just stop all of this bullshit! Those who like the movie can go off and watch it, and those who hate it can go somewhere far away from me. But stop, just stop, this mindless, endless repitiion of teh same bullshit that was funny the first 10 times, but on time 12,589, it is wearing THIN!

Yes bungie has stated that they took the designs from Aliens but that somehow does not stop some Halo fans to whine about it

It's not a joke if it isn't funny, or has been told hundreds of times.

I will have to disagree then, cause i'll be damned if I trust everything that a book tells me, even if it is a dictionary. Besides, if a comedian told a joke that wasn't funny and nobody laughed, it wasn't a joke, it was a flop. One way or another, all i am saying is that this unintuitive and way over-done pool of dry and inane 'wit' needs to fuck off. If people wanna keep chuckling away to themselves, that's fine, but just stop trying to ruin it for other people. You aren't funny, you are just repeating the same overdone crap.

 

[Pyro Paul]

i love the 'Avatar rips off Halo' argument some fanboys have been spouting.

it is so funny because they think that 'their' stuff is orginal...
Hornet gunship being orginal... ha. Command and Conquer Orca any one?

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

If you look back far enough, everything is a ripoff of something. So there.

 

[Small Waves]

What's with this people becoming depressed after watching Avatar shit I keep hearing about?

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hidden_Fortress
Tell me that plot doesn't sound familiar...

 

[DMonkey]

The most ridiculous thing is that there is controversy at all surrounding Avatar...

It is just a movie!

Just recently saw it to see what all the fuss is about, and sure it was a fun way to kill a couple of hours, but what the hell is all the fuss all about?

Please, someone explain to me why people are praising/condemning 2 1/2 hours of film as if it had any baring on our lives what so ever...

 

[gamefreakbsp]

I didn't even know about the feminist thing... I thought it made sense...

Likewise. Though I suppose somebody would have had to say something eventually. People being people.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Im split between 2 and 3

Off topic: Holy crap, you look exactly like my brother.
On Topic: Really people? Ripping off halo? Halo ripped off aliens!

 

[Racistman3d]

What about that crazy guy who wanted Avatar banned because there were no gay characters and he had some scientific proof that we will all be gay in 100 years? And his idea of protesting against the movie was buying heaps of movie tickets but not going to see the movie?

I think most of the people on this thread liked the movie, they're just trying to add some humor. Anyway it sounds like you're trying to tell me that you've never heard a funny joke, and repeated it to your friends? What do you talk about then? Different brands of bread? How fantastic corn flakes are? The joys of Desert Bus?
