      Hot take: Cameron was the Christopher Nolan of the 80s & 90s. But with the Avatar movies, he became prequel-era George Lucas. (Technically stunning franchise movies with *weak* storytelling)

      I welcome Cameron returning to form with *anything* other than giant blue cat aliens.

      About bloody time. Those are some seriously underwhelming movies. The guy was previously revered as an all time great director but the whole Avatar  thing is somewhere between a vanity project and a tech showreel. Baffling that hes spent so much time on them.

      Oh no. Please don’t. I will miss character name and other character name. Member when they fought on dragon bird thingies? And there were explosions? Good times.

      I’m seeing a new take on Shackleton’s voyage, but all the characters are blue. I mean it’s cold in the Antarctic, so they could have appeared blue right? Right?

      Hard to tell considering he can’t shut up about for last several months…

      That headline is a massive piece of bait. What Cameron said in context:

      >Adds Cameron: “This can be the last one. There’s only one [unanswered question] in the story. We may find that the release of Avatar 3 proves how diminished the cinematic experience is these days, or we may find it proves the case that it’s as strong as it ever was — but only for certain types of films. It’s a coin toss right now. We won’t know until the middle of January.”

      >I ask something that might sound odd: What do you want to happen? But Cameron gets the implication.

      >“That’s an interesting question,” he says. “I feel I’m at a bit of a crossroads. Do I want it to be a wild success — which almost compels me to continue and make two more Avatar movies? Or do I want it to fail just enough that I can justify doing something else?”’

      >A few weeks back, a headline was trending on Reddit: “Anyone else feel like it’s an unfortunate waste of talent that James Cameron will [spend] 35+ years on *Avatar*?” This debate has been recurring on fan forums for at least a decade.

      >“I’m feeling fulfilled as an artist, and when [those critical fans] become filmmakers, they can make those types of decisions for themselves — or just stay the fuck out of it,” Cameron says. “It’s my decision, not yours. It’s like saying, ‘Gee, I wish she wasn’t married to the same guy for so long.’ It’s none of your business.”

      Idgaf about you nerds, Avatar 1 and 2 were really cool and I enjoyed them very much. I found them entertaining both visually and in story.

      Would’ve been nice if he had done this before he got the idea of making sequels. We didn’t need the first movie let alone all the others.

      It’s hard not to confuse the two Avatar cartoons. There’s the one with ‘air bending’ and the one with the creepy, tall blue creatures.

      Not a fan of cartoons so much either way.

      I was just saying this very thing to a friend the other day, must have been listening.

      Can’t wait for Jim to be done with the Avatar films so we can get some seriously decent Cameron goodness for a change. Aliens erm 5, Xeno Harder please. Let’s rock!!!

      Kind of sounds like even he’s getting a bit tired of Avatar. Which makes sense, it’s been his life now for over a decade, that’s a long time to be focused on a single story. And I’m sure between the beginning when it was still new and exciting for him, and now other ideas have popped in his head for stories and he’s not going to live forever.

      i thought there was like five planned and now he’s calling it quits after three? make up your mind

    22. Ermahgerd_Sterks on

      Maybe you shouldn’t have committed to making 5 of these boring movies out to 2031 that no one asked for?

      I’ve already bought my ticket for Avatar: Fire and Ash. Doesn’t mean I won’t see films like The Testament of Ann Lee, No Other Choice, Marty Supreme and Resurrection! Avatar films are my escape from the shitty world we live in.

      Let me guess, it’s about a group of people who are being exploited by another group but there’s also a romantic connection between the two main characters that are from opposing groups.

      I wish there had just been the one Avatar movie. Another great director lost to the shackles of a franchise.

      Oh, no, Jimmy, you’ve been talking up your five-movie series for decades now. Don’t be a coward.
