Cyberpunk
What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Tron, yes, unless we have pretty different opinions on what constitutes devoted. I had a watch party in prep for the first sequel coming out. // Avatar, I low key hate that movie but I still think this sounds almost sarcastic when asked. I mean it has its own dedicated section of Disney World. That's not something they did lightly. Things have died down some but people were obsessed.
Wait really, since when? And I don't think that Disney really knows what consumers want. They've had quite a few massive flops in the past few years, and not nearly as many hits as they should've. The true success of a franchise is in the number of ao3 tags and fan theories. I have never met a person that cares about the blue people, or ever did. I assure you, I'm not being sarcastic, just flabbergasted.

Oh, that's in Disney California Adventure (don't really know what it is tbh). Apparently it hasn't been built yet.

It's both? The one in FL is inside Animal Kingdom and has been open for 8 years.
California Adventure is a separate park that was built on top of the original sprawling Disneyland parking lot, directly outside the entrance. Part of that is planned to be converted to an Avatar themed section, but as you note, construction has not yet begun.
I'm not a big Disney fan, I just know what the internet tells me. My mistake.
Nor I. I have been to California Adventure once and the map posted above didn't jive with my memory of the place, so I went down a Google rabbit hole and shared my findings.
