I want to ask y'all whether or not it would be a good idea to include a redirect to Avatar:The Last Airbender. Some folks get that series confused with the James Cameron movie, so it might be a good idea to include such a redirect (and one on the A:TLA page to this article).

I don't think so, and the Shyamalan movie was not titled Avatar because of this. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:29, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like we totally should include a redirect to the Avatar: The Last Airbender, as both this movie and the series share the same name (Personally, I think that 'The Last Airbender' is just a subtitle). We don't have to include a redirect to the M. Night Shyamalan movie as the title is just 'The Last Airbender'. Bigboithena (talk) 21:03, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this worth adding? Kailash29792 (talk) 14:27, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course. The updated box office numbers should be added, and Endgame's mention should be changed. ภץאคгöร 17:39, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Link on note 3, AVATAR 2D is going to a page giving "error 410" Astenor (talk) 10:05, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like the "Related Media" section should be removed from this article and moved/merged with Avatar_(franchise) page. This page is about the 2009 movie whereas the Avatar_(franchise) page is about the franchise. Stage Adaptation, Theme Park, and Novels are about the franchise and not the first movie. 2600:1700:D8:8040:9551:D02F:89D8:7DF0 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:25, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The main text does NOT include any sort of mention of the 50+M revenue from the 2021 Chinese release. Considering it gave the "title" back it should be mentioned somehow in the main text. 188.27.42.181 (talk) 15:37, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a box office error, stating: "Avatar is the second highest-grossing movie of all time after Gone with the Wind with a total of more than $3 billion.

Gone with the Wind actually grossed over 390 million worldwide, as opposed to 3 billion. 216.30.159.210 (talk) 12:10, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
