I watched Avatar and laughed all the way through it. It's a story about a World of Warcraft player who starts off grinding low level mobs. He makes it to the first town and meets the primary NPCs. He continues leveling up until he unlocks his first ground mount. From there he sets his sights on his flying mount, and the quest to unlock it is suitably epic. From there he quickly gets his epic flying mount, and by the end of the movie, he's leading a raid.
My brother loved Avatar and when I told him this assessment, he got mad at me. :-D
A solid article, though I think AJ below is right about it being an article written a little while back, especially as it doesn't point out how the Star Wars movies went progressively down hill and saw decreasing ticket sales with each movie. The point of the article I think is pretty spot on though, so still a good read!
Purchased his series on the Kindle that he linked to...hopefully I'll actually get to it one day.

Was this a modified repurposed article you wrote a decade ago, by chance?
