        “This avatar video game is bigger than the Avatar videogame that used to be the biggest one before this one”

      That it would have been bigger than that GameBoy Advance game.

    I wonder how this relates to the recently leaked (because Paramount decided on no theatre run) Avatar film.

      Probably heavily. Companies seem allergic to show A:TLA some much-deserved love.

        I’m so glad it was leaked. I’d gladly see it again in theatres, or buy a disc. Paramount fully earned their “my cabbages!” moment.

            I quite liked it. Some choices I wouldn’t have done myself, and I was sorry not to hear Dante Basco doing Zuko again. Overall pretty great, compared to what you’d reasonably expect from a highly anticipated, highly belated sequel.

            I’d describe it as a DBZ plot/energy wrapped in the Avatar setting.

        Only because the C-suites’ don’t have a creative bone in their collective bodies. They only know how to follow ‘numbers go up!’

          While equally not knowing how to get the line off the ground.

      I struggle with Avatar right now. It’s great story telling, world building, compassion, and just a cool world. Unfortunately, it’s owned by Paramount, which I’m unwilling to give a dime to. I have the same problem with Star Trek. There are, of course, ways around giving them money. I just wish these crappy companies would stop being so crappy. I don’t expect giant media companies to be good, but like not comically evil would be a good start.

        Paramount can FOAD, I wouldn’t give them a red cent.

      The fighting game is being done by an indie studio (albeit, one featuring reasonably prestigious alumns.) It probably had no impact on the RPG.
