A true win for rich and famous white directors of big-budgeted mediocre franchises financed by Disney. The real underdogs and saviors of real cinema.
🤔

On a side note, M3GAN wasn't as fun as I thought it'd be.

In his own way James Cameron is an underdog because everyone's always predicting his failure and a lot of people want him to flop lol. All his movies are insanely popular followed by ton of cultural backlash, and then ppl predict the and hope his next one will flop, and then it overperforms.

I wouldn't consider Avatar a standard Disney franchise since he took 13 years to follow up on the first one, idk how much he cares about franchise-building.

It also wasn't originally a disney production. they bought fox.

I stopped reading after "James Cameron is an underdog".
We're in 2023. Nobody but his stans with a victim complex believe that shit.

lol stay mad, greater moviegoing community #AvatarSweep

& I think at this point, PIB is the second highest grossing animated film in the pandemic after Minions.

is it cute? I've seen none of the films but I feel like there's been very positive reaction (PIB)

It's somewhat dark tbh I think Shrek may be the rare franchise that grew with its initial audience while still being for kids and families.
