    (no love for James Cameron, but) are fans of a Nickelodeon series first released in 2005 really complaining about the existence of other media using the name Avatar? 🤔

      If they are preventing better series from using it… yeah why not I can be grumpy about a lot of things at the same time.

      Love for James Cameron! You should watch the documentary about him designing and building a submarine, done the right way vs the titan submersible.

        Cameron’s first Avatar film wasn’t completed until 2009 but it was in development (under that name) in the 90s. Here is an article about it from 1996.

        As OP’s screenshot notes, Nickelodeon’s show was never released with a single-word name because they were aware of Cameron’s trademark prior to it being released.
