If L. Ron Hubbard can have a religion, maybe now James Cameron can have his Avatar religion. But from fans’ reactions, this might be more of a Kool-Aid cult. CNN has posted a mind-blowing article chronicling “fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.”
The article goes in-depth, looking at the message board community, and highlighting despondent guys like this sad sack:
A user named Mike wrote on the fan Web site “Naviblue” that he contemplated suicide after seeing the movie. ”Ever since I went to see Avatar I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it,” Mike posted. “I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’ “
Honestly, just read the whole thing at CNN. They should actually just kill themselves, Y/N?
