With the huge amount of hype behind Avengers 3 and 4, they will have to knock it out of the park, or die trying. They could be the biggest movies ever, or they could be colossal failures and the hype would be the hammer that knocks it further in either direction. Hoping for awesome.
@chakan2: Disagree, Nintendo have their own patents, and the claim is that it's "too similar" but not exactly the same. Nintendo have good lawyers and will get this dwindled down to a minuscule payout for themselves. Sadly, that's probably all they hope for anyways seeing as they waited for Switch to show that it sells well before filing the lawsuit. Also, switch sales aren't impeding their sales in any way now or in the future. This case is very flimsy.
I'm sure many of you have seen this before, here is how Avatar and Monsters Inc are the same:
"The plots are exactly the same anyway. There's a guy named Sully who works for this company. This company is all about resource allocation- specifically, there's a resource--an energy source--that belongs to another intelligent species. This resource is one of the most valuable energy sources available, and it's only available within the habitat of the other species. And this company wants it.
So our guy Sully, he's blue by the way, he infiltrates the "other" world in order to help his company extract this very specific energy source. The problem arises when he realizes that this species is much more like himself than he ever imagined. He looks into their eyes, he sees their fear, their feelings, their longing for joy. And he begins to sympathize with them. This obviously makes his company unhappy, and they turn on him. What was once an exploratory mission to gather resources becomes a manhunt. Sully is wanted for aiding and abetting the enemy, putting his entire company's operations at risk.
The movies come to a climax when Sully the big blue guy boldly rebels against his own company's people and chooses to align himself with the "others," resulting in his discovery of a resource far greater than any his company ever sought. Sully has finally realized his purpose in life and can pursue his dreams in cooperation with the people he once feared."

So what will Avatar 2, 3, 4, and 5 be similar to James?
People used to complain about the high costs of cable TV. Here in Canada to get anything mediocre it was over $120/month. With all the companies making their own streaming services and hoarding their content to only their service, at $10/month each, it won't take long to hit that $120/month status again.
I just want ONE streaming service, with a good interface, and everything on it for $10/month. For a while there, Netflix was as close to that as we were going to get, but now the greed is bleeding through from all companies. The only good outcome of this is that with the arrival of ESPN streaming, Cable TV is sure to die off now.
