Aside from the obvious, I hate it because it stole the name of my favorite TV show of all time, so now I have to say the full name of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" instead of just avatar. And I can't say "the last airbender" because M. Night ruined it for all of us that way. read more

I enjoyed Avatar despite its shortcomings. I know people who didn't like it but I think hate may be too strong a word. It's an old story that has been told many times: Invaders try to take from the indigenous. The indigenous fight back. Loyalties are questioned. Many die on both sides. read more

In other words, James Cameron takes himself seriously now and that, ultimately, is the main reason I hated Avatar. It just takes itself too damn seriously.
