Still is quite remarkable how small the pop culture impact of the other Avatar is (discuss.online)

I thought that was the joke? Someone with a sense of humour names it that and there's people unironically calling it unobtanium.

I think that's part of the problem. It's not a joke, it's played completely straight. That is the name in universe of the substance. If this was a comedy named SpaceBalls 2: Pocahontas in Space, sure, that would be a cute and funny detail. But it is an action adventure drama. It's completely out of place and displays a complete lack of sci-fi creativity.
