What happens if Avatar: Fire and Ash doesn’t make enough profit to convince Disney to bankroll Avatar 4 and 5? Creator James Cameron has said he’s ready to walk away from the franchise, adding he’ll write a book to resolve the one thread Avatar 3 leaves open.
no on cares about the plot of avatar, and we’re still surprised people bother seeing it.
It’s the movie equivalent of a roller coaster ride, so people see it because it’s fun
people use that statement as a criticism of modern cinema.
People watch Avatar because of the bleeding edge CG. It’s not a unique story. It never has been. It’s Pocahontas. It’s Dances with Wolves. It’s Fern Gully. It’s A Man Called Horse.
Theyre all similar stories. Foreign heroes saving the “savage” local population that can’t defend themselves from the technology, while learning about them along the way.
The story isn’t why people go to watch Avatar.
honestly idk why Cameron even bothers with a plot. he could just make a faux nature documentary. that seems to be the part he’s interested in, and the best-executed and most interesting parts of the movies, but he seems to think nobody will watch it unless he shoves that all into the background and slaps a dumb action flick you’ve already seen a hundred times on top of it. and maybe he’s right, idk
tbf, when I actually watched movies I never cared about the plot before hand anyways. I’m there to experience it while it’s playing, not learn about it beforehand, see trailers, hear what the movie is about then go watch it. it just ruins the movies
now since I can’t get away from the world spoiling movies constantly, even in commericals about them… and corporations just remaking stuff and having zero creativity, I completely stopped watching all movies/tv shows.
haven’t seen a movie since like 2020 I’d say. no plans to even see another. nothing is interesting.
I agree with you about the standard Hollywood trailer giving away the plot but…
This is the same ignorance as saying “they don’t make good music nowadays” because you exclusively listen to top 40 radio while commuting.
Tons of great and interesting movies have come out since 2020. You can absolutely choose not to watch any of them but change “nothing is interesting” to “I am not informed”
