Avatar: The Way of Water will NOT gross $2.5+ billion. Update: Faithful Lose Bet.
- Thread starter less
- Start date
Should have gone with individualized avatar/tag combos that show the poster's post count in the thread about the indigenous people criticising Avatar and Cameron.
My vote goes to the first avatar and the second tag.Apologies for the delay but now I'll be available to take this to a conclusion.
For Avatars we had two suggestions:
&
For the user tags we've had the following suggestions:
"Actually, the bet is still going"
"I just blue myself"
"Somehow, Quaritch Returned"
"Faithfuls stick together"
"Well ackshually, I never lost because the Avatar bet is still going"
"We won the moral victory. It's what matters I swear!"
If I missed one let me know but if not I'll open voting with those options tomorrow.
Can confirm that having a gender dependent avatar might be ideal hahaha.
EDIT: Still feeling a bit silly I entered without reading the avatar part. I genuinely wouldn't have entered otherwise hahaha.
Careful, the last guy who referenced that got a permanent thread ban, but he was being way over the top with it.
For me, I'll always remember this thread as the thread where like 3-4 people got banned trying to bait me lol
More than one person tying to play a grab at a non-victory for the faithful.

I would've believed you if you just told me I was wrong lol.
This is honestly the best thread ever.
I was one of those people. I signed up just seeing funny purple words below avatar, not realising the avatar would have to be changed too hahaha.
So do mods change the avatar or do we have to do it our self. Can we get a mod that sponsors these next time if we have to change it ourself.
Thanks—it's also no fun being ignored as well. But I guess this forum is always a bit of a boys club…
Let's just keep our new feminine avatars ✊ haha
I don't mind changing the avatar, maybe I'll even keep this one longer if I forget, who knows. But I always like having a lady avatar to go along with…being a lady lol.
It's only two months, at least! It will be okay haha.

Is it...that much of a hassle to change the avatar yourself?
A small portion of the faithless selecting a title when not all titles were grouped together is perhaps not the best way to do thing.
I'm perfectly fine with have two avatars to pick between and the faithful selecting whichever one they prefer. But I think the faithless probably need to chime in.
Yup I've no problem with there being a male & female avatar. They're both awful 🤡
Lol you quoted me as an example of moral victory, touch grass. What I said was seriously the mildest comment in this entire thread. Oh the horror I said it was going to fall short, that it is still exceptionally successful. Said give me the tag now, I'm wearing the avatar now and have for nearly a week.
I just meant because you replied 'sure' to having a moral victory.
If you don't like the avatars, mission achieved.
Remember some specific posters that were certain it wouldn't even crack a billy? Good times
I'll wear the tag/avatar with pride knowing I'll get to watch Avatar 3-5 in theaters
As a faithless, I vote faithful can choose between the two avatars. They're both awful, so either way we win.
I guess you people put as much effort in them as as the risk you took in betting that a movie won't gross 2.5 billion.
More likely the bet dragged on for so long everybody took their ball and went home
Seriously it's been like half a year
And it still couldn't make 2.5. James losing his touch

If we wear the avatar early that means we get to start the bet earlier too right.
Wait I only get the tag for two weeks? Can I have the tag for two months too?

In my opinion, you should all be cooped together, and have to wait for the same date for avatar freedom.
To Quote the Terms and Agreements to the bet.
As the AI Avatar... avatars got the most votes from the faithless, I do believe those to be the collectively chosen ones. And the requirement is to have them for at least two months.
The Tags I see as their own separate part of the bet and I'm just waiting for whenever those go out.
Dunno how a hot pink user tag is humiliating, anyone who participated should get that pink user tag.
Btw, like everyone else I vote for 1st avatar and 1st tag.

I'm good with this, ya'll get a tag too. We get to pick your avatar.
It isn't meant to be humiliating, its just some fun.

What would be the next upcoming films to run an Avatar Bet on? Can we get one going for Oppenheimer VS Barbie since they are coming out on the same day? Which grosses more and which reviews better? That'll be a fun one to do.
