Look, I get it. Monopolies are bad, everyone who's ever played the game is supposed to know that. But people are being willfully ignorant as if these kinds of posts are celebrating Disney itself and not the MCU or just Marvel or even comics in general, especially since comics actually have a cultural impact while Avatar is the fucking LaCroix of movies.

Even worse considering just recently Avatar became a Disney property. Before that was it was a pure Fox "accomplishment"

And really, does now owning Avatar truly do anything for Disney? It's not like that movie is still bringing in any significant amount of money or prestige these days. People literally only brought it up to gawk at how it somehow became the highest-grossing film at the box office despite having had no real impact or following in the years following its release.

They made an Avatar theme park long after the movie came out, seemingly just out of spite. Here is a really long video about it.

Apparently there are 4 or so sequels in development.
For some reason.
Plus didn't it only become #1 because of overpriced tickets? or was that fake?

Thank you

People are missing the point that this is not about "which company beats who", it's about the impact the actual movies had on pop culture; regardless of how you feel about Endgame or the MCU, you have to admit it left way more of a mark than the blue people movie.
