‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is avoiding one specific problem that doomed ‘Black Panther 2’ on Disney Plus

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water was a monumental success when it hit the theaters in December 2022 and emerged as one of the biggest box-office earners in the history of Hollywood proving that all the skepticism against it couldn’t dismantle its decided success. But it is now on Disney Plus and many of the criticisms against it are back in full force — whether it is its rather long runtime or how its plot is just a rehash of the first film. Thankfully, one thing that is working in Avatar 2’s favor is that its streaming release managed to neatly side-step a big problem that bogged down the hype around Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Disney Plus debut.

Back in February, when Black Panther 2 was released on the streamer — fresh from its stellar success in the theaters — every MCU fan was understandably looking forward to binging it again and marvel at the way it dealt with Chadwick Boseman’s tragic passing. But it soon became apparent that the film was a dark watch in more ways than one as it was beyond difficult to see what was happening in some scenes because of poor lighting, and more so in scenes that were taking place at night, which didn’t register during its theatrical release.
