I'm not some huge fan of these films, they're fine. But it was kinda funny that people spent years talking about how Avatar had "no cultural impact" only for the sequel to come out and also become one of the biggest films in history.
 
I think the Navi design is getting stale. They have no musculature, ribs, belly flex. They were impressive in 2008, the aquatic aspect covered it in 2022, but now, almost 20 years on, they really need to bump up their design from these spindly stick figures to something more organic looking.

And we need other aliens to show up. Push that "colonialism" aspect to "oh shit, humans ain't the most high tech exploitators out there!".
 
Oh they brought back white rasta guy...how fun. When i saw that dude on the trailer for the last film i knew I didn't wanna watch it.

Seriously, has anyone met a white person with dreads and not come away thinking the person was kinda tapped in the head?
 
Earth Water Fire, talking whales and terrible stories. These movies are all terrible. Cameron should go make something interesting again.

Yea that rasta guy was such a waste of space in the movie.

I already forgot what happened in 2. Water and everything getting destroyed again by the same guy but now he was blue?
 
Who has the best production design when it comes to sci-fi at the moment? Villeneuve?

All that Avatar stuff is straight out of a TitanFall concept art book. Which isn't bad, but it's not striking. Seen it before.

Financial success does not necessarily equal cultural impact. Anecdotal and all but I've never heard anyone irl talk about these movies.

I will never understand how this franchise became so big and popular. It's a dime a dozen movie to me
It's a visual spectacle and, as we've seen in his other work, while there may be other films with flashier or sharper writing, Cameron has an understanding of the fundamental building blocks of a story and how to get people invested.

Agreed. My only real regret about this decades long Avatar journey is that we missed out on Cameron re-defining SO MANY OTHER genres that have grown stale.

Imagine Cameron taking on Spiderman or Wonder Woman. Or really spending some thought and energy on taking Terminator to the next level. Or working with Jason Statham to make The Meg 3 into the global blockbuster we never knew we needed!

Or just new IPs not so rooted in this pastoral native fantasy. More cosmic horror focused, or more grounded sci-fi like he did with Strange Days.

It is a shame how much of Cameron's time has been taken up by it. Like I said I'm not some huge Avatar fan. But it's clearly what he's invested in. So if that's where his interest lies these days then I'm cool with seeing what he does. I think I'd rather that than him just being another director who gets tied down to one of the big existing franchises. Whatever you want to say about Avatar the concept is his rather than something someone created 50 years ago and we've already seen numerous versions of. It'd be cool to see him come back to Terminator. But I imagine that if he'd had some amazing concept for a new Terminator film that he was so invested in that he wanted to dive back into that world then it would have happened. He probably just feels like he's done everything he wants to with that world. So rather than him doing something just for the sake of it I'm more interested in him making what his passion project is.

I love the Avatar movies, but it's absolutely true that James Cameron could have done so much more after becoming king of the world in 1997. Cameron almost three decades by focusing only on Avatar and has diluted his legacy compared to other great directors. Spielberg made 17 (!) movies between 1997-2025. I'd give up all three Avatar movies easily for an alternate history Cameron filmography where Cameron didn't focus on deep sea adventures and blue aliens, but directed a dozen movies in all kinds of genres.

This gets bandied about very often and it doesn't make any sense. The studio doesn't have him locked in to some multi-decade contract guaranteeing he's miserable making Avatar movies forever, or have his family held hostage or something. This is literally his ultimate passion project. If James Cameron could go and make absolutely anything he wanted to, it's Avatar. There is no 'alternate history'.
 
It got taken down.
But I'll take a wild guess and say Jake Sully and family go to a new tribe, are treated as outsiders at first but eventually are welcomed as one of the tribe, we see humans exploiting the nature of Pandora is some new way and it ends with them fighting the exact same bad guy for the third time in a row as we learn that humas bad, nature good.

I went to see Avatar 2 in 3D HFR. Mr Cameron decided it was a good idea to keep changing the framerate all the time during the movie... it was totally idiotic and made it look like a video game, not absolute cinema

Can't wait. This is where we get the evil Nav'i tribes. That will mix things up a bit.

Also, Spider will kill someone.
