It's gonna be some vapid nonsense and the episode praising James Cameron isn't going to age well. Twenty bucks there's a BB8/baby yoda/baby Groot type character.
i mean eventually the naysayers will be right, i guess? people have been predicting a cameron flop since what, the abyss (1989)?
Didn't say it was gonna flop, just that it was gonna be vapid nonsense. Worse than the first one
Worse than the first one
I mean Avatar sucked and that's popular opinion (or was?), it's just a vocal minority of Cameron lovers trying to drown out the collective "meh," that is Avatar.
Oh, yeah, almost definitely. Cameron has crawled pretty far up his own ass. That said, his action scenes still own.
yeah, fo sure. i said this somewhere else, but i saw avatar like 3 times in theaters, soooo
Disney made an entire theme park for his movie. I don't know if he can withstand the capitalist pressure.
Maybe he'll use the cuteness for good and Baby Avatar will be based somehow
I was thinking about the end of Avatar for the past couple days, how they just send them on their way, including the most evil PMC, as if they'll go home and be like "yup, 60 years of investment is over with, they just don't want us here".
The Avatar sequels can only be depressing total war on a native peoples. A mirror to the battles between early American rangers and the Natives. The world building so far can only conclude that there will be massive amounts of warships brought back to absolutely glass Pandora. It will either have some stupid groot character, or be a Come and See type horror fest of war crimes, watching the native population lose almost everything of value to them, for some Deus Ex to just make the space marines back off for a bit.
Its going to be fucking depressing. Maybe Sulley's character will have navi body dysmorphia about his 5 fingers, and chop one off to be like the others. idk, i'm not keeping my hopes up but after rewatching that dumb movie, I'm absolutely obsessed with how Cameron will build the world up further.
If Cameron has any balls he will go the total war/protracted war route, and probably has enough clout to get studio execs to shut up if they object. The only way the stupid Groot/Baby Yoda character works is if there's some sort of bait-and-switch where the execs are initially told it's just a cute focus-tested mascot character for the series but is actually a Chekhov's gun, a Na'avi child who grows up against the backdrop of the war and eventually takes up the mantle of the older generation's anti-colonial/anti-imperialist struggle after that generation is inevitably overwhelmed and devastated by genocide.
That honestly sounds like a badass plot. Its a shame it probably wont happen.
The environment is hostile to human life anyway. There really is no reason why they don't glass the surface from orbit and harvest the unobtanium afterwards.
