Avatarded Avatar was just a movie
It was only a matter of time.
In a convulsion-inducing metascapade of blue boobies and G.I. Georgeous, Everyone has completely lost it over avatar. And I mean lost it in the picket-fence-frontal-lobotomy sense, the rule-34 sense (oh yes it’s out there, no I will not link it), and the every-meme-has-already-adopted-it sense. Oh yes.
Last week it progressed to the point that the only person left who didn’t like the movie was the Pope. Or, more accurately, the Pope’s press office, which thought the film lacked substance and was a boiled down plot-substrate that just didn’t have backbone, much less depth of character or a Meryl Streep cameo. Everybody agreed, but nobody cared. Evo Morales countered with a witty retort! Huzuuh! Some other guys thought the film was racist towards Texans, I’m guessing because it made resource-hunting colonists out to be the bad guys. There is actually something to be said for more nuanced opinions claiming that the film reinforced the so-called white messiah narrative.
Let there be no question!
Yes. And it gets worse.
Avatar induced depression is now a reality. Quite literally, several different local news stations have reported individuals becoming depressed when real life fails to live up to the Technicolor ultrabeauty of Avatar. Soon euphoric, dream-like metaworlds will be the only real treatment for depression. As long as James Cameron gets to direct it and everything is in 3-D. But facing reality will get harder until the only way to break the cycle will be for force feed depresees 3-D Polanski until, by contrast, the real world is the best freaking place ever.
But, since that’s going to be a while coming, I have provided you with great gif images to fill the time!
Did you know that all sharks are ALREADY blue?
