>watched T1/2, Aliens, and Abyss on VHS a million times
>didn't watch Titanic until 2022 or so
>haven't watched a single Avatar film ever
Am I missing out? When I finally watched Titanic, I thought it was pretty overrated. The engine room scenes were cool, but the romance slop was pretty lame. Avatar seems kind of gay and preachy.

Avatar series, best treated as 1 film, is (in the) Top 10 films ever made.

>>219216238
Should never have gone vegan, that's what fucked him up.

Titanic was fucking huge, it was a romance shit but also a disaster movie so both men and women could watch it. the OST song was number 1 around the world and it made girls pussy wet.
Fun fact i gave my 1st real girlfriend the VHS for a gift.

>>219216337
Top grossing films are mostly capeshit, so money really doesn't tell me anything about whether I'll enjoy it.

When did he go vegan? He looks too satiated to be on a vegan diet for Avatar 1
>>
>>219216452
I wasn't talking top-grossing. But it is indeed funny that the #1 spot there is between an auteur's dream project and a soulless piece of capeshit.
>>
>>219216238
No. Terminator and T2, Aliens, True Lies, that's all he's done of worth. The man is a slop machine with tremendous quality control, that's all.

>>219216562
kek he's not actually vegan

Its a shame he chose to carry water for the official coverup story. Could have redpilled an entire generation

Imagine a very cool looking screensaver that you're not invested in emotionally. You have now watched all Avatar movies.

?
I assume abyss was his dream project as he loves all his water shit.
idk where avatar idea come from but I assume it is him.

Cameron is a fucking retard

If you like pulp sci-fi like John Carter and Dune you'll love Avatar. If not then you might not be wowed by it as much. They aren't bad movies but they're tonally different from his other films.
>>
>>219216663
Avatar isn't slop. It's about taking up arms against exploitative corporate imperialism, and then turns into Clannad-tier slice of life kino on Wayne Barlowe world with a whale rebellion brewing in the background. Great, great depiction of family dynamics.

>>219216739
Skill issue.

>>219216839
He came up with the idea when he was 19.
>>
>>219216847
He's a genius, but yes, the Blu-ray remasters of his older movies are acts of hatred. The same goes for a lot of remasters, though, which is why they should never be bought without investigating the details first.
>>
>>219217040
>Skill issue.
It's literally the same story three times in a row that's been done better. "Outsider(s) come into a clearly Native American tribe (or analog) with retarded environmentalist message natives never believed in, white man stand-in is bad, outsiders make peace with Native American group, white man is beaten, rinse-repeat-fall-asleep."

The only skill issue one can have when considering the Avatard movies is fighting this melatonin-turned-film series.

The second and third movie focus on completely different things than the RDA; it's like 80% character arcs.

Yeah, maybe don't view it through your retarded /pol/chud lens.

Noble savage borefest with primitive anti-white messaging.

That just typical anti-white "colonialism is le bad" slopaganda.

There's better character arcs on CW superhero shows. I like how apparently Grace's Avatar baby came from literally nowhere and is apparently Jesus. HA HAHAHAHA. Oh, man that's embarrassing. There's no way why the humans should ever lose to the Navi based on their tactics, technology, or forces. It's retarded that Eywa (or however you fucking pronounce it) apparently does and doesn't choose sides in battles based on arbitrary circumstances.

This is hysterical. Cameron has been thinking about this for fucking decades, and THIS is what he turned out. It's such a limited and boring set of stories. The most interesting writing regarding the Avatar films is this MEME monologue that wasn't even in any of the writing: https://youtu.be/0TPtao8RLGg?si=cVdbgr6d3Y_fZt2J

It is gay and preachy but it's still really good

The last hour or so of Avatar is some of the best action Cameron has ever done, and nobody does action better

How did the humans end up losing? Did the Navi use Ewok tactics with wholesome organic traps to bonk the war machines?

I would have just used chemical weapons. Probably wouldn't even need anything fancy, just good old agent orange, mustard gas, chlorine. Back to the basics.

Stupid contrivance and the humans suddenly becoming retards and forgetting their weapons should already BTFO the Navi

Your crybaby bloodlines deserve to die out. It's not anti-white. It's against capitalist imperialism, racial hatred, and destruction of the environment. It's about family values, cultural values, and anti-genocide. The third one literally has the youth make the boomer whale pacifists rethink their ways in the face of a potential genocide. You'd think rightoids would agree with those tenets and praise the very conservative story Cameron is telling, but alas, they're extremely online psychopaths with little going on in their heads. You can't identify with the Na'vi because you can't think of yourselves as anything other than oppressors. How very telling.

>>219217591
Love how Quaritch isn't a shitty cartoon villain. Never did anything too heinous, so he remains reasonably redeemable, and has practically almost turned into an uneasy ally.

Blessing primitive people with civilization, laws, technology and the message of Jesus Christ isn't oppression, it's an insanely generous gift. Now you mock white genocide? It's only because of our suicidal empathy that we didn't take advantage of our lead in nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons to wipe you all out that that white genocide is even a thing. You should be thanking the white man for every breath you take. Show some appreciation.

Simple.
Avatar: Eywa intervenes and turns all wildlife on the planet against the RFA.

The Way of Water: Whalers are overconfident none of the whales will fight back.

Fire and Ash: Eywa intervenes (very late and only when things are already extremely dire) and turns all wildlife on the planet against the RFA.
>>
>>219218167
Is Eywa the alien version of a pagan demon like Gaia?
>>
>>219216238
Avatar is the last great kino that justifies filling up seats at the kinoplex

>>219218126
>The RFA in Avatar blessing primitive people with civilization, laws, technology and the message of Jesus Christ
Must have watched a different movie. Anyway, however white you may be, I'm whiter than you, so spare me the patronizing bullshit.
>>
>>219218233
Sort of. Although the first one explicitly states she's not. She's like the consciousness of a neural network spread across every living thing on Pandora.
>>
>>219218269
It wouldn't have been effective anti-white propaganda if they depicted the RFA as a fair and balanced representation of colonialism, instead of the cartoon caricature boogyman they went with.
>>
>>219218449
There isn't a single anti-white thing in those movies. You're trying to force a meaning on them that simply isn't there. It's not even anti-colonialist in the strictest way, considering how the first one treated building schools and teaching the Na'vi children.
