Because they’re not directed by JC. Jesus Christ aka James Cameron.

 

It was never a world that needed every corner explored. T2 threads such a tiny needle in terms of making any sense whatsoever (within the limits of suspension of disbelief). Literally anything else with that much time travel was bound to be a hot mess.

 

James Cameron is an egotistical tool and overrated. He's way past his prime.

 

are you not excited for 4 avatar sequels?????

 

The Godfather films reveal more every time you rewatch them. Both are essential, but Part II is the great American tragedy.

 

most directors are egotistical tools but Cameron has a few true bangers

 

Dude has like one maybe two misses.

 

Avatar is the only miss that I see when I look at his filmography (aside from Piranha 2 which I’ve never seen)

 

Avatar wasn’t a miss. It was the highest grossing movie of all time for over a decade and is widely considered a technical marvel. The story was generic but that wasn’t what the movie was about anyways.

 

Avatar was definitely a miss. I fell asleep.

 

Yeah but being a technical marvel doesn’t make it good or not a miss. It sucked on day 1 and still sucks today (imo). it being nominated for Best Picture was a hilariously bad move.

 

Avatar is one of my least favorite movies

never got the hype

 

To be fair, it was one of the better Best Picture nominees that year. A lot of racist movies that year winning awards.

 

Avatar had no cultural impact, no one talks about it or reps it sincerely or ironically, no one does cosplay of it, it vanished
all it did was make people think 3D was good and not just an integral part of that one movie

 

He has about one or two good ones. All the rest are misses.

 

Avatar can suck it.

 

Not liking it is fine but saying it’s a miss is just ignoring that it was an all time hit. And no cultural impact? Theme park rides, people obsessed with wanting to be that alien race, it taking up a over a decade of one of the biggest directors of all times’ life and millions and millions of dollars to create four sequels?

Again, dislike it all you want but saying it was a miss or had no cultural impact is like saying Marvel was a miss.

 

Even it’s influence on 3D technology in cameras and TV’s and theaters can’t be ignored.

 

I didn't say it had no cultural impact, but thanks for putting words in my mouth, champ.

I just said it sucks, which it does.

 

I wasn’t just talking to you, pal

 

Either way, it's an awful movie and unworthy of 4 sequels.

 

Going back a little in the conversation...

Give the Terminator franchise to a writer's room of good comic book writers, lol. Those people know how to take a mess of continuity, treat everything (even the duds) as something that matters, & still churn out a fun genre story.

 

Alien and Aliens are both v good but so different idk which I could say is better. Alien is more of the sci fi vibes and Aliens is more straight action, but both are a treat. Then Alien 3 happens.

 

What I’m more interested in is why such a large amount of people on the internet seem obsessed with making sure people KNOW that Avatar had no cultural impact. Not saying anyone here is doing that or whatever but some people I’ve seen seem borderline nuts with how adamant they are about it.

It always seems like it made no impact on their life or circle in particular but that doesn’t mean it didn’t in other people’s lives.

 

David Fincher fuckin up
