Similar sentiments were shared by a few others, who have criticized the plot of the previous movie and are hoping that the upcoming film delivers a good story.

"Avatar Jake Sully is going to tame the whole planet of Pandora at this rate! I truly hope the next film has a better plot than the 2nd one, which was a copy paste of the plot of the first film! Beautiful movie though I will say," one fan commented on X.
