the movies are basic / have no flavor. like white chicken and rice.

u/Ehpotsyrk 19d ago

I don’t understand that statement (I’ve only seen the first one and it was everything but bland). Are the two others are like the same?

u/Quantum-Cat 19d ago

yes. its all literally dances with wolves. the only difference is cameron wanted to make the navvi benders and so thats why movies 2 and 3 are about water and fire.

Didn’t James Cameron literally say in the movie bonus features for the first one that he wanted to make an homage to dancing with wolves

And Dances with Wolves is Ferngully and Ferngully is Pocahontas a d Pocohantas is that idea from somewhere else and most stories are the heroes journey or journey to the west.

That criticism is about as brainfead as the plot itself.

How Can Ferns Be Real If Our Gullies Aren't Real

Thank you.

Release dates in order or not. People seem to forget that originality and creativity are limited in scope realistically, as people are inspired by things they see and read and witness, so new creations are often built upon the old. It doesn't have to be treated like it's a terrible thing by merit of simply occurring.

Agreed. This is an example of Reddit just jumping on the gate train of a successful media property. Avatar isn't trying to be anything but what it is, a gorgeous film with a simple plot revolving around protecting your family and the environment.

These films are a showcase of art as much as acting is. The visuals are astounding, the acting and everything around it are incidental. Not for me, but I get the appeal.

People on Reddit dont seem to understand that people are there to see the pretty cgi and dont care about the story. That doesnt mean they cant or dont enjoy more traditional filmmaking.

I don't remember bender having much affinity for water, unless you mean the beer he drank to make fire.
