Ever since the first Avatar's release, many have mocked its use of the infamously garish Papyrus font, enough that Ryan Gosling even starred in a hilarious 2017 SNL skit sending up the whole debacle.

And though the first trailer for The Way of Water showed off a new title font and seemed to suggest that Papyrus was long gone, James Cameron clearly had the last laugh, as it made its long-awaited return in the sequel.

Though Papyrus isn't used for the main titles, the font does appear during some subtitled scenes, ensuring Cameron didn't simply quietly retire it.
