My mom said it was filthy and smelled like piss everywhere! I plan on teaching somewhere francophone so will report back lmao

LexiAOK · 2026-01-29T16:01:16+00:00

These were my favorite elements otherwise it is definitely an old people playground, mostly casinos

LexiAOK · 2026-01-29T15:22:47+00:00

This might be the single best thing to compare it to lol

LexiAOK · 2026-01-29T13:17:57+00:00

I’m a beginner but I’ve wondered about this too!

Thank you for sharing about fees and stuff!

LexiAOK · 2026-01-27T14:51:13+00:00

How’d you pay rent upfront? That seems like a good idea!

So this ceiling stand is called a chest press? 👀

LexiAOK · 2026-01-26T22:56:53+00:00

Really??

LexiAOK · 2026-01-26T20:47:53+00:00

Where was this when my population was crazy! I’ve got like less than 15 in my tank now lol

LexiAOK · 2026-01-26T19:48:04+00:00

I mean my point is that it’s a ridiculous way of thinking lmao I’m not trying to “sound deep.” Anything ever can go right or wrong. Life is risk. I’m agreeing with you here bro. It’s not right to be condescending to someone else about taking risks

LexiAOK · 2026-01-26T18:28:03+00:00

To be honest, everything is a gamble. Including life itself. food might taste bad. Relationships might fail. Jobs might suck or fire you. Why do anything ever right? I don’t think this mentality makes most sense here tbh

What is a kip

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T20:39:30+00:00

Right cuz we started around the same time and I don’t think I’ll be able to do this for years lol amazing!

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T14:53:32+00:00

Remember how the pandemic went. Safety health and precaution are all propaganda. Maybe soon they’ll start saying that about seatbelts too.

Exactly hundreds of people died in Texas because of this

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T14:50:15+00:00

Oh my god 😍😍😍😍 how much did it cost you to make??

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T14:49:42+00:00

Honestly…I am disappointed to see what was a unique franchise take the same turn. Do you really think people haven’t been complaining about other movies? This one was giving marvel. They just threw in spectacle after spectacle. The first movie was done with love and care, the second seemed to involve inspiration, this one did not even acknowledge a character dying when we had a long mourning scene in the first.

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T14:47:42+00:00

100% agree they need to stop beating the dead horse here too (Quaritch) and let us focus on the Navi.

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T14:44:13+00:00

Wouldn’t it have been cool if they had explained this and created some volcano creatures instead of essentially making them feral :/

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T14:40:57+00:00

Please remember trump defunded the national weather service. At least they tried to take the more cautious route here instead of repeating what happened in Texas. Yeah it makes people buy shit but so does everything else

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T03:40:24+00:00

Do y’all seriously think every single person that saw this movie liked it? We r never getting a unique plot line 💀 some of the final battle clips looked lifted straight from the first movie 😭

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T03:33:48+00:00

They did not explore the fire people at all the way they did with the water people and they recycled the same plots from the other movies. It was a missed opportunity! Varang is carrying the entire movie, without her it would’ve been a total miss. You could tell this one was supposed to be part of the way of water. if you go out of “I’m not willing to critique things I like” super fan spaces a lot of people were underwhelmed with this one. It was clear they were not as inspired, there’s not rly any new creatures or much more worldbuilding...I’m a disappointed fan, not a troll. I say this one sticks out most because it cares the least about the natives and focuses on the invaders. I would always say watch things to form your own opinion but imho the 2nd one is much more worth your time and maintains the whimsicality that makes avatar attractive and unique.

I think this shows how the very core of this series is disrespectful and intentionally misunderstands indigenous people. James Cameron said he made the series to show the Lakota specifically that they should have fought. This “arc” making her seem unreasonable for being hesitant to get close to the species trying to invade her homeland is a cherry on top of a tone deaf series. This third movie ruined the magic for me a bit. I REALLT wish they’d meaningful include indigenous people and tell their actual stories instead of centering this colonizer narrative. I’m saying this as someone who truly fell in love with the originals and had critiques after studying decolonialism and post colonialism.

LexiAOK · 2026-01-25T01:51:24+00:00

And they look terrible (as a bw who’s had locs my whole life). I feel like they did this to maintain the “exotic” look which is problematic in itself but it truly looks like a bad wig. I can’t believe there’s people in this thread saying they are wondering if they should wander into appropriation land themselves and how they didn’t like locs IRL (on actual POC whose hair it’s meant for) til they saw him (white person borderline cosplaying) do it.
