sooooo if the avatar sequels bomb will he take responsibility or blame everyone else not getting his vision or whatever? is anyone hyped at all for the avatar world? the only avatar i hear people talk about these days is rightfully avatar the last airbender.

I've never been an Avatar fan but this is funny to me because James Cameron is the most disliked director in Hollywood. He's so disliked that the gossip in 2009 was that the Academy gave the best director Oscar to his ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow, just to spite him.

He had been nominated for Avatar, and the other tea is that Bigelow isn't well-liked either, but he's so hated, they wanted to stick it to him by rewarding her.

omg amazing!! lol

Why is he so disliked? I feel like there are shittier directors out there

[waffletaco]

i mean, he has a track record of dropping bops everytime he puts something out, so i get it.

But, if these flop, well...

I just wish he'd return to fix the Alien franchise.

After Terminator Dark Fate... no.

[waffletaco]

TECHNICALLY, he didn't direct. He produced.
Now, i dont know why that movie flopped. It wasn't great, but it was probably the best sequel since 2.
I think not even Linda Hamilton returning could save the series.
It seemed to be a grab bag of ideas from the TV series and the other sequels.

I think the brand/IP is just tired and should prolly end.

I didn't hate terminator Dark Fate. out of all the terminators I think its better than genysis or whatever it was called and the C Bale one. (even though I wanted to like the C Bale one)

I did find it annoying that they put forests in my hometown of Laredo lol but at least they mentioned my hometown.

I wish he listened then I wouldn’t have wasted so many minutes of my life on avatar.

The confidence of a white male.

[jojito]

Yes, but he has good reasons for that confidence. Titanic, Terminator, Aliens, Avatar.

The man knows what he's doing.

[scriptedending]

In this case, I believe it is earned!

[asnindie]

I mean he's literally made some of the highest grossing films of all time and he made Terminator. On that alone he's allowed.

I feel like these won't flop but I kind of hope they would just to get him to shut up about Avatar lol
