In 2009 James Cameron released Avatar. He did pretty well! It's just the highest grossing film of all time. However, despite this record, to this day people still debate whether or not it had any sort of cultural impact. But SNL fans know there is no debate. he did it The film led to one of the funniest sketches Saturday night livethe story of. In 2017, Ryan Gosling starred in “Papyrus,” a pre-recorded sketch about a man obsessed with the uninspired title source of the big-budget fantasy. now, in far less time than it took Cameron to deliver his own sequel, SNL he followed up. Ryan Gosling's return to SNL Hosting duties at Studio 8H include starring in “Papyrus 2,” another Avatar sketch
two SNL alums also returned to the show last weekend to help Gosling deliver a sequel to the memorable sketch from 2017. Former cast member Kyle Mooney returned to play the man responsible AvatarFont of the logo of, in a sketch written by the original scribe of “Papyrus” and the old Saturday night live writer Julio Torres.
This time, Gosling found himself struggling with a different kind of Avatar-related problem He had spent years seemingly overcoming his deep-seated problems. Only, the franchise and its font weren't done with him yet. Avatar: The Way of Water he was hiding a bold secret.
From there, the sketch goes from a traditional comedy sequel to more of an arthouse indie film, as the craziness takes over and things get weird and deeply emotional. Turns out Gosling's character has been hiding his own secrets. Their font problems go far beyond how letters look in a movie.
Our only gripe is that this didn't air during the episode. It was an online only release. Torres thought why. On Instagram she wrote: “I'm not sure how it was 'cut for time' because it's 3 times longer than a normal sketch and also I don't work in @nbcsnl more, but here's this in case you need it?”
We can debate whether or not SNL should have cast this Ryan Gosling Avatar sketch during the show or not, but it should once again end the whole debate about whether or not Avatar is it culturally relevant or not. How many other movie franchises have ever made us care about the Papyrus font?
