It’s amazing to me. I’ve never seen anything like it. A massive, obsessive following spanning a decade, wiped out entirely by an ending so devastatingly bad it destroyed any residual interest or goodwill. I truly wonder if we’ll even see the spin-offs they were planning. https://twitter.com/MusketAnna/status/1218656537092161536 …

Similarly, Avatar had a box office blowout ... and somehow has little cultural resonance even within nerdspheres. Like, yeah, you might see a person cosplaying a Na’vi at a con, but maybe 1 person for a movie that made over $2B *domestically*???

Right, but still, was just one single movie, no matter how popular it’s hard to keep it going without any other media to sustain it. The thing with GoT is it really *did* create a massive fan base, grew it by leaps and bounds year by year, then threw it all in the trash.

The funny thing about Avatar is that it faded partly because of Cameron's version of artistic integrity - he absolutely refused to let them do a "cheap version" of the world of Pandora for a TV series or whatever that would've kept it in the public eye
