I think they could name more than Avatar, r2d2, c3po, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca would all be pretty unforgettable. But what about Aliens as a standalone film ?, they'd be able to appreciate more characters dying in the 1st encounter with the Aliens than that 1 main baddie through the entire of Avatar.

People would also be compelled to rewatch those films, which is part of their popularity, I think Avatar is already fading in peoples memories :)

1st, you're talking about goodies dying vs baddies dying.

2nd, Aliens is a war film, Avatar is not about people dying, it's a spritual film.

Same director, btw :D

It's not about the goodies or the baddies or people dying it's about the characters. There were goodies in Avatar but fuck knows who they were.

Knows about the director, like Ridley Scott with Prometheus, doesn't mean it will stand up against criticism :)

extreme wut

Aliens is a horror movie; Avatar is a white liberal guilt wankfest pressed from the same self-hating mold as Pocahontas and Dances With Wolves

Pocahontas was a retard, fuck that stupid bitch for getting that awesome alpha male warrior killed because she wanted to taste some Brit's unwashed cock instead.

Aye, was a tidy film. Started better than it ended imo but it was still a great flick :up:

I liked most of the characters too :)
