Avatar has been talked about at least weekly on every movie message board for the last 16 years but you think it has no cultural relevance?

Its sequel is on this list you posted as one of the most successful movies in history adjusted for inflation and it isn’t even a year old.

Yet you think the avatar movies have no cultural relevance?

When it comes to cultural relevance Avatar gets more attention than anything else on that list except maybe the incels that whine about the “girl power” scene the Avenger’s movie.

was it about how the film made the people feel, how they were looking forward to sharing it with their kids, their passion for the world it built , or was it on its performance in the box office or the technical achievement of the film?

Because one means it's about as relevant as McDonalds, the other means it's about as relevant as Star Trek.

Do people want to share Avatar with their kids?

Disney World’s Pandora the World of Avatar gets over 12 million visitors a year. It pulls attendance from all other areas of the park..

So yeah they do.
