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.

    I completely agree with you. Cameron always gets so triggered whenever he’s faced with this criticism as well, like all rich white American liberals. He doesn’t even try to hide these views because he’s so incredibly clueless:

    In an interview with The Guardian in 2010, Cameron said the Lakota Sioux Nation was a “hopeless” and “dead-end society”.

    The interview was prompted by Cameron’s visit to the Xingu tribe, located in the Amazon, who were fighting against the development of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam.

    During his time there he witnessed cultural ceremonies.

    “I felt like I was 130 years back in time, watching what the Lakota Sioux might have been saying at a point when they were being pushed and they were being killed and they were being asked to displace,” he said.

    He noted that ‘this was the driving force’ in creating Avatar.

    “I couldn’t help but think that if [the Lakota Sioux] had had a time-window and they could see the future… and they could see their kids committing suicide at the highest suicide rate in the nation… because they were hopeless and they were a dead-end society – which is what is happening now – they would have fought a lot harder.” Source
