A fan expressed his astonishment at the success of Avatar 2 as the hype for Infinity War was a build-up of over 15 movies.
Which is astonishing considering Infinity War was the result of a buildup of countless characters from 18 films and iconic comic books while Avatar The Way of Water’s commercial appeal is in the film itself and nothing more
