I didn't think you were agreeing and I definitely didn't miss your point. I simply pointed out that you aren't successfully making the point you think you're making. You still aren't.I wasn't agreeing, and you may have missed my point. You appear to measure their excitement by t-shirt sales and Funko Pops and message board activity. Disney measures it by BO sales. Avatar 1 sold more than anything ever. Avatar 2 more than anything but Endgame and Avatar. And Marvel hasn't come remotely close to Endgame since. The fact that Avatar 1 and Avatar 2 made consistent amounts of money 13 years apart further confirms their measure of "excitement."
Disney must see it that way also, because they are moving ahead with Avatar in DL, instead of Frozen or Encanto or more Star Wars or more Marvel.
Box office is one metric to measure how successful a film is. It's not the only one - no matter how high-handedly you insist it is - and it sure as heck isn't the only one that matters to Disney. How many $220 lightsabers do you think they sell a day?
You (like all of us) have no idea what Avatar experience they are going ahead with. Talk is cheap. It could be a walk through water exhibit in 2028. And you also don't know that they aren't doing Frozen, Encanto, more Star Wars, or more Marvel.
