I quoted you in context and you even went on to defend what you said. If you didn't mean what you wrote, perhaps you should work on your grammar a bit more.

This is my sentence:
The problem is when you have movies like 21 or Avatar the Last Airbender where the goal is telling a true story with style or appealing to fans/getting the material a wider audience, respectively.
I mentioned two movies: 21 and Avatar:TLA. I mentioned two goals: "telling a true story with style" and "appealing to fans/getting the material to a wider audience". I used the word "respectively" to show that those two goals correspond to the movies I mentioned earlier. They correspond in the order mentioned. 21 corresponds with "telling a true story with style". Avatar:TLA corresponds with "appealing to fans/getting the material to a wider audience". Therefore, as per the grammar of the English language, I was not calling Avatar a true event.
