LOL. When I heard Cameron was going to make like 7 of these? I was shook... "Okay, he's cooked"
They supposedly pioneered some new way of filmmaking that I haven't made the informational dive into. So, there is that, as well.
Ultimately, he is doing him, so.. with that said. Good Luck, Sir!

I think he said he's done after 5 and will let whomever take over and just reap the benefits like Terminator.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
He's going to take a break from avatar after this to work on that Ghost of Nagasaki movie (Japanese nuclear bomb movie) I believe. But he said he has the next 2 already written and ready to go if this movie is another success . He said he'll stop if no one wants them anymore lol

The franchise which somehow makes insane amounts of money yet has utterly zero cultural impact.

Yeah, wasn't that the recent press he done ? About having the rights and wanting to do the Japanese film next ?
I think 3 was mostly filmed back to back, with 2 and they actually spilt the story across the 2 movies. Instead of the single movie they originally planned. Which I believe they also filmed the start of 4. Before a time jump occurs in the story and then the 5th is the final one.
I also heard he was looking at the terminator again. Now he got the full rights back. But that might be just Internet talk. But it's Cameron, so who knows ?

Looking at the trailer you might be sort of correct.
Looks like this new fire tribe is allied with the humans. We see Navi vs Navi fights, but beside that it does look pretty much more of the same.
The biggest one that got away was Alien 5.
"We're looking at doing another one. Something similar to what we did with Aliens. A bunch of great characters, and of course Sigourney. I've even discussed the possibility of putting [Arnold Schwarzenegger] into the Alien movie."
~ James Cameron, BBC One interview, 2003.

I said good film, not successful film. Lots of crap makes money.
Titanic is entertaining garbage and marked the turning point where story started taking a back seat Cameron went all-in on effects. Critic opinions mean nothing, especially back then when their relationships with studios etc were far more opaque.

Or the box officeSure, 11 Oscars is no measure of quality
Cameron movies tend to have a perfect timing. It´s about the visual quality and that they keep you entertained. Avatar 2 an exeption from the rule, needed 3 evenings to work through it on Disney+. I didn´t see it in 3D, though.

Well why didn't LOTR beat Cameron?

I once hired a white chick with dreads because she was related to a good worker that vouched for her. She was the dumbest piece of shit I ever met, Borderline retarded.
Every mistake she made she would reply with "I'm sorry my brain isn't working this morning?" With a heavy vocal fry. Spent most of the day bitching about her husband.
But at least the sex was good, right?

No chance. Its a "good bad" film. Like almost any film that has that kind of commercial success. Designed and made to appeal to base emotion and with a story simple enough for a child to follow. It's easy so the crowd can get into it. Sometimes I'm in that crowd, but I try pretty hard to check myself afterwards and ask "was it actually good? Or was it just the power of the zeitgeist?"
Stuff like Endgame, The Phantom Menace or TFA fall into that category. They are categorically shite in the harsh light of day.
Titanic is certainly a better film than those, but its no more or less a vacuous popcorn movie than they are.

shite movies made by an absolute tosser
Remind me, how many oscars have those three films won.....oh yeah, ZERO.
Now oscars alone are not a great barometer of quality, especially just winning 1 or 2, either in purely technical fields or just in the actor field, but ELEVEN!?! is a pretty good sweep of technical, writing, and acting which is a pretty good suggestion that the film has merit beyond "the zeitgeist", especially when paired with a massive box office presence AND the looooooooong legs it had, months and months at #1, showing it wasn't just a marketing driven flash in the pan.
I get that Titanic (and the Avatar films) aren't appealing to you, but they are pretty great films by almost every objective metric possible in the admittedly subjective field of entertainment.

To me it sounds like the metric of autistically checking off elements that go in the r/movies-approved "good" box while ignoring the art of storytelling, which is the one element that makes stories successful.
I'm surprised they even watch movies, like what the fuck is this show of light and shadow on the wall? We left the caves 10000 years ago!

I fully agree. I only saw the extended cut of the first after the initial release ran its course in the theaters. Great CGI but the rest of the film was as formulaic as they come. You could predict the entire story just by watching the trailer. Never got all they hype around it.
Way of Water had a significantly more interesting plot and drastically better character interaction.
Edit: It was also the first film I had seen in 3D that was not absolutely better off without it since Prometheus (of all films). Cameron recognized that that shitty ghosting effect made the 3D a wash at best and doubled the framerate. The film was gorgeous and the 3D looked fine as a result. Gotta give the man credit for trying new things.

I can't remember a thing about Avatar 2 
I can't even say what was good or bad it's like my brain didn't register anything as I was that bored watching it.

Oscars aren't a good barometer of anything.
How many Oscars did Starship Troopers get?
Scream 2? Event Horizon? Fifth Element? Con Air?
These and many other more deserving movies came out in the same year as Titanic and got nothing.
The same! At least I remember that Avatar 1 was an asset swap of PocahontasI can't remember a thing about Avatar 2

And yet people still talk about Aliens nearly 40 years later. Why would that be?
This stuff has zero cultural footprint because its completely driven by special effects, which everyone is numb to at this stage. Story is barebones with forgettable characters (again, because they largely arent real human performances). It's got no soul.

The name for these vapid vacuous spectacles that nerds cheer for because they make so much money as if they're cheering for their lesbian girlfriend's softball team

Why does it make billions if people are numb to special effects?
The Tron: Ares comparison is fucking hilarious. Tron has two trailers, one if them 48 hours old, plus a fresh NIN song.

Thats whats so strange about it. It makes billions but nobody remembers a damn thing about it and it has zero cultural footprint.
I swear to god Disney just buys up millions of theater seats to make it look like a success.

Yeah it was the most obvious sequel prequel whatever for Cameron and would have been a box office smash. Instead we got the turd sandwiches that wereT3, TS, TG and TDS. TS came close I guess to something worth watching but it was no T1 or T2.

Time for my tinfoil hat but I remember when the 2nd one came out. There were articles all over the Internet about how it was doing just ok and then suddenly the narrative all over the Internet changed after about a week or 2 it suddenly started doing much better.Thats whats so strange about it. It makes billions but nobody remembers a damn thing about it and it has zero cultural footprint.

Avatar is like a roller coaster in an amusement park - people ride it, get out and move on to the next thing. No one sits down and discusses a roller coaster ride with their friends, it has zero impact on literally anything, no cultural impact, nothing on the zeitgeist.
It's peak consumption slop, mindless entertainment. Well-crafted, but vacuous.

Which movie franchise of two movies in 15 years, with no spin-offs and no merchandise, is discussed and has "cultural impact"?
Why was Avatar the fastest and best selling DVD and Blu-ray and why is is still #2, behind Frozen?

Because people wanted to show off their shiny new Blu-ray players. You like Avatard good for you but your wasting your time trying to convince anyone they are good movies

All these people ragging on Avatar, do you go watch it in 3D HFR IMAX?? Cause if you're simply watching these on your 14" telly or down the local 2D cinema, you're not getting the full effect, these films are simply showcases on what the absolute pinnacle of modern effects laden movies can be, they're no Godfather and he never set out for them to be classics, they are pure entertainment and in IMAX they are fucking mind-blowing to behold, one and done, they ain't the same movie on the home screen.
Although I wish the fuck he would knock em on the head after this one and turn his sights to Terminator but when they keep churning in billions, ya can't blame him
