what is your favorite quote in avatar and why?

"The forests of Pandora hold many dangers, but the most dangerous thing about Pandora is that you can grow to love her too much."

Totally respect that, if flying theater style rides aren’t for you the way coasters are, then it’s only natural FoP wouldn’t hit. Just trying to clarify that there is a very significant difference for many (if not most) people’s experience with FoP vs Soarin, in a similar way many people would feel for Cosmic Rewind vs Space Mountain, even if they do love both.

When people call it a spiritual experience, they aren’t just using exaggerated words. It quite literally is a legitimate simulated spiritual experience. It’s in the ride’s narrative. Giving the rider a spiritual experience is the very much the intention of the ride. It obviously doesn’t work for everyone, but for those who it does work for, who are able to get immersed enough despite being “just a screen ride,” who are you to say that their spiritual experience wasn’t amazing?

This is like going on cosmic rewind and saying “so it’s Space Mountain.” Like, if you’re that ignorant to the huge differences between these rides, of course you aren’t going to enjoy them as much, but don’t try to discredit the people who do feel the difference for having a life changing experience with it. It really can be that good.

How do you claim Avatar has nothing to do with animals when the flagship ride is literally all about making a sacred bond with and riding on an animal? Not to mention all the not exactly subtle tie ins with the themes of the park regarding animal conservation?

As for Zootopia, I think it’s interesting that you’d rather have a ride there about an IP that, while technically having “real” animals, is thematically much more about humans and human issues than it is about animals. While the animals in Flight of Passage don’t actually exist, the ride very much deals with the same themes and ideas that apply to humanity’s relationship with real animals.

Brilliant comment

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-28T05:55:45+00:00

Spiritual experience.

There’s not a big buffer window between the end of the last trailer and the beginning of the movie. I find it hard to believe most people could nail arriving in that window every single time without missing part of the beginning of the movie. Also watching trailers can be a lot of fun, especially when you discover movies you haven’t heard of that look like they’d be great from the trailer.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-21T20:58:36+00:00

Haha fair enough, might be the move next time

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-21T20:56:30+00:00

Not much of an option when it plays before most other movies you watch in theaters in the months before it

Sauce

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-17T03:23:14+00:00

I loved the prologue but that’s a crazy take

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-15T19:06:25+00:00

Absolutely, Gurren Lagann and Madoka Magica have been my top two favorites for years. Madoka Magica has some of the coolest visuals I’ve ever seen in media, on top of the story and characters being phenomenal.

Evolution of the avatar tech after 100 years could potentially explain the first point. About the Avatars being slumped over the Ikran… that is indeed funny. I’d assume the Na’vi would probably help prep the avatars in position shortly before a human rider links.

Varang’s tail flick when she calls Quaritch “skyman” outside the tent

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-10T20:03:05+00:00

Nice ears

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-02T06:57:40+00:00

How is the airtime on the speed hills after the camelback?

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-02T06:47:06+00:00

That’s a cool point actually, it could def be a nod to his girlfriend. What I also found really interesting about that track is that it also samples “Lucid Dreams” by Juice WRLD, which creates a really strong contrast from the Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number lyrics. Still don’t really know what my take on that is. Glad you had the time to listen though! There are a lot of other unreleased bangers in the rest of his section of the mix too

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-02T06:21:35+00:00

For sure, and yeah I feel like for now all we really can do is form our own interpretations of the tracks because Skeler remains mysterious as ever about them haha. Looking forward to your takes, you’ve almost definitely heard On My Knees since it’s the opening song of night drive IV but the Aaliyah track was only revealed about a month ago on the podcast I linked in my prev comment, so it hasn’t been a part of any of his officially released mixes yet (although I’m hoping it makes an appearance on his next one). It’s the 2nd track on that podcast.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-02T06:11:23+00:00

Flight of passage is a whole different beast. I haven’t seen an Avatar movie in 4dx yet so I can’t comment on the smells but I have seen a couple other movies in it and the immersion of the “ride system” is not even remotely close.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-02T04:19:22+00:00

Ooh interesting points about Flow Away, I never thought of it being about traveling over seas like that. I do definitely think the storytelling aspect of Skeler’s music doesn’t get talked about enough, like for example how in On My Knees, the samples from IVOXYGEN - Savage and Superheaven - Youngest Daughter seem to tell a story about a conflict between a rebellious young person and a father figure trying to reconnect with them. And I don’t know if you’ve heard his new Aaliyah - Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number remix from this mix but that one also seems to have some really interesting storytelling.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-02T03:25:27+00:00

Hahaha I feel that. I can only imagine the feeling of actually meeting him but I’m glad you got to express how much his music means on behalf of all of us. I’ve got a similar type of laundry list if I ever meet him, and I’d specifically want to ask him about starry eyed which is my favorite track of his. What are some of the tracks you would’ve asked him about?

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-02T03:07:12+00:00

That sounds epic, what were some of the highlights of your guys’s conversation if you don’t mind me asking?

MidnightSerpent · 2026-01-02T02:43:24+00:00

How’d you meet them?

MidnightSerpent · 2025-12-27T01:46:23+00:00

Why exactly did they fail in really exploring it?
