Can we shut up about inflation. We know. We don't care. GTFO.

Well, some of us do...

Anyways, I think it was quite justified to bring it up, whether or not it's wrong: this thread isn't about bringing up a particular piece of trivia just for the heck of it, it's about bringing up an astounding one, so it's quite fine discussing whether or not it really is astounding.

The same debate has already ruined every other Avatar thread. Now we have a nice new one and right away someone comes in with "darrr, inflation!".

God forbid Avatar can have everything. Its already been ripped away relentlessly for its plot, characters, and just about every detail. And now it can't even have the accomplishment of being the highest grossing film. I've read these kinds of inflation arguments on Gamefaqs, Youtube, Vgchartz, and just about every site I frequent. As someone who really enjoyed the film, I'm getting really annoyed by it.

I understand that, but it isn't fair to assume that everyone who brings that up it's attempting to sabatoge any good thing this film has accomplished.  And such a subject as this is practically asking for such points to be raised.

Yes they are.

This is a thread for Avatar being the highest grossing film of all time. Then, someone came in and said that Gone With the Wind grossed far more when adjusted for inflation. Nothing more. It was borderline trolling.

This entire thread has been made sucky and I'm tired of it.

Not to mention that this is a worldwide list. Gone With the Wind may be the top U.S. grossing film with inflation accounted for, but was it popular all around the world? The United States is not the be-all end-all of everything.

and Gone With the Wind was the longest, most boring film released since The Birth of a Nation!
