The cultural impact of it is what it caused though ripple effect.
The MCU for example would have literally been impossible if not for avatar. Avatar basically shunted the entire industry forward 20 years in one go on the technical front.
Took every skilled artisan that was even remotely related to the arts. And gave them a functionally unlimited budget and told to just go ham.
Then actual story being told for the audience wasn’t a priority or the point.
The point was a project for the industry, a project to push the industry forward.
Selling the final product was frankly entirely just a means to the end. To recoup the cost and then do it again.
That’s why it’s basically just the most complicated retelling of Pocahontas ever done.

Technical impact != cultural impact.
What you’re describing is not cultural impact. You’re just confirming it didn’t have any cultural impact, only technical one.
