    In my circles it’s “avatar” and “avatar (the blue one)”, which is also quite telling

      In my circles it’s “avatar” and we haven’t needed a way to distinguish space smurfs. Literally never comes up, even when one is in theaters.

        Yeah, the only reason the James Cameron one is ever brought up is to talk about how it’s absurd how much profit it makes or to talk about how stupid it is that they’re making a series. Often context is enough to know you’re talking about that one, and not the real one.

          It’s weird how the sequel (Way of the Water) came out and it made so much money and it seemed to just not permeate any conversations or memes or anything. At least in my corner of the Internet.

            Yeah, I don’t keep up with movies or series, but I know that the non-blue sequel is called “Korra” or something. Never heard “Way of the Water” before.

            I thought this new one was the sequel… did another one come out sometime? I’m on the internet a lot and had no idea.
