Crazy spectacles are what got us to buy toys in the first place. If it looked like a fun cool toy, we wanted it.
While I agree with you about the spectacle I still think that character is very important to everyone, especially kids. I remember when I was a kid and loved Wolverine because he smoked cigars and did all the shit that other superheroes wouldn't do. I was never conscience of why I liked him, but I damn well recognized that he was different and unique. Avatar didn't really have any characters that are vastly different from anything we have experienced before. And that's saying something for a movie that featured giant blue cat people.
