>“The Avatar story arc was originally meant to be a trilogy, but I overwrite, and my writers overwrote as well”, Cameron has revealed to Variety.

>“But basically the first of the sequels cloned itself and became two films, so now it’s four films. And the studio’s very happy with it. They have an opportunity to make more money, but it’s also an opportunity to spend a lot more money, too, so there’s a clench factor”.

>The first Avatar sequel is due in cinemas in December 2018, with Avatar 3 in December 2020, Avatar 4 in December 2022 and Avatar 5 in December 2023.

Anyone excited or nah?

>December 2018
>other sequels not until next decade


too far off for me to be excited 2bh

>too far off for me to be excited 2bh
Exactly, not to mention Avatar 1 was 7 years ago

Man does anyone really get excited for sequels to this? I always look at Avatar as the Crysis of movies. Pretty good visuals but hot garbage story.

I'm lookin forward to them. I'll bake a whole tray of dro brownies for the occasion.

It must take place on another planet because if it took place on Pandora and there aren't radioactive craters everywhere then it wouldn't be believable.

I fucking hope I'm not here by 2023

Any ending that isn't the extermination of there race and the trial and punishment of Jake Sully is wrong and inaccurate.

The idea that a fucking race of cat people who haven't even developed the fucking wheel equipped with only spears, bow and arrows and psuedo-dinosaurs could defeat a space fairing race that can colonize other planets is laughable.

Oh wait, Star wars did this same shit.

and it will suck that based Worthington will only be a voice actor because remember he died and his soul was reincarnated into one of the native Avatar skins at end of the first movie.

Also considering there will be 4 sequels (all over 3 hours I believe) Cameron will probably bring in new characters and try to get us to like them which ehh I am not that interested in.

Avatar 2 is going to take place underwater apparently so maybe we may see some cool underwater city similar to the Gungan Phantom Menace place.

But yeah not interested in seeing 12 hours of animated sequels depending if there will be many other humans or it will just be on the Na'vi side.

I predict in the 5th movie, some evil Na'vi will somehow get to Earth (using the human vehicles) where he and others will want to kill all humans and Worthington will have to try and stop him.

If they do that we might get a cool Terminator like battle with Na'vi and humans.

This is the future you chose.

>tfw the villain in avatar 2 is gonna be a donald trump clone

That's pretty sad user. I hope you are still here by then.

Peace and love

Avatar was one of those movies that while it had financial success, it's impact on popular culture is basically 0.

Never saw those same actors again (I'm not a huge movie viewer so I wouldn't be surprised if they were present in some other smaller films) and no one talked about this move/made memes about it after it was out of theatres.

i mean yeah im interested still but goddamn sort your shit out jim, this is fucking absurd

how much have the actors aged?

What will be the story arc? Is it really just going to be le evil humans again?

Might be cool if the Na'Vi react to the happenings of the first movie becoming more militaristic over time and they end up invading Earth

>Never saw those same actors again
Worthington did Man on a Ledge which was a very good movie actually then yeah he disappeared but is returning in Mel Gibson's new WW2 film.

I actually think he would have made a really good Robin alongside Ben Affleck in a Batman prequel to BvS.

I can't imagine them just having 4 movies fighting off humans. There will probably be another threat/species yet to be introduced.

NotGonnaSeeIt/10

It was a mistake to watch the first one

This motherfucker is really going to spend the rest of his life making the rest of the fucking Avatar movies.

C'mon user don't lie to yourself you know at some point you will see them.

Hard science fiction is the bee's knees yo.

Well since sources say Avatar 2 will take place underwater: it will probably begin like 20 years later or something and show how advanced the Na'vi have become thanks to the humans technology which Worthington, Sigourney Weaver have helped them turn Pandora into some true Paradise.

Then yeah they will probably have a new human team who come to Pandora and demand that Sigourney and others there shut down everything and destroy the Na'vi.

Some new war will occur between the new humans as we will again get some badass "evil white man" who Worthington will again have to fight.

Avatar 3/4 will probably have some new Na'vi leader who wants to take over from Worthington's peaceful ways and demand them go to Earth and completely destroy the humans which Worthington denies.

This new Na'vi individual will probably get more other Nai'vi's on his side as less and less reject Worthington's non war approach and then they will steal the human vehicles and set journey to Earth.

Avatar 5 then will entirely take place on Earth as big battles all around the globe begin (Independence Day meets The Terminator).

This may be a cool film series.

>Avatar 1 was 7 years ago
...damn. It feels like just yesterday that we were shitposting about the trailer

There is nothing "hard" about Avatar

Could the Navi even breath in earths atmosphere?

They will probably invent something which makes them be able to live there.

Also aren't the Na'vi fully spiritual anyway? Perhaps there is more to their faith that we do not know about that can help them in many ways.

>Avatar 1 was 7 years ago
>Avatar 5 comes out in 7 years time
POETRY

The first Avatar was a little milquetoast but it was basically written in the 80's, that kind of "humans evil, nature good" storyline would have been more well received in the 80's/90's. Even though the script was old it was a movie he still really wanted to make.

Since Jimbo has the best record of making good sequels the Avatar series has a fair chance of ending up great.

I feel like theyve waited to long to cash in on the hype the first made

no, the park is opening near the release of the second movie so it'll do better than fine.

>Perhaps there is more to their faith that we do not know about that can help them in many ways.
With 4 more movies I'm sure.
Is it rape if you connect your tail thing to some Navi chick when she sleeps?

It just wont be the same without a autistic russian shitposter.

Yeah Avatar did remind me a bit of Dune with the "advanced humans evil and native humans good".

Avatar 1's script began in like the late 90s if I am correct.

>Peaceful non-developed people slowly turn into the fourth Reich during the course of five movies

Naah, too unique for Hollywood. It would be interesting though, especially if it had a lot of na'vi qts

>Is it rape if you connect your tail thing to some Navi chick when she sleeps?
How do you even think of that...

I am predicting it now that yes that is what we are going to say.

We are going to see lots of Na'vi politics as Worthington argues for peace while another ruthless Na'vi dictator argues for violence and for the extermination of the humans as he slowly progresses to get more and more other Na'vi's on his side before they go full on Nuclear on planet Earth.

Please do this based Jim!

Unless she's willing and (maybe) the planet itself approves it would hurt you. And she will most likely kill you for it anyway

I'm extremely high.

theres an opening for you user

Do you even read hard science fiction? Avatar is damn near Kim Stanley Robinson tier.

Avatar was originally written in 1994 or 95 I believe

Honestly I trust in Jimbo, I have no doubt he will save us from capeshit

I'm sensing a lot of bean material here. Especially if you paint the militaristic na'vi as people super afraid of the humans that they'll completely abandon their way of life and arguably turn into the very thing they are afraid of.

The natives in dune (the freman) were not good guys they were dogmatic violent zealots that Paul used as shock troops to stage a galactic jihad. they only appear good because they are the under dogs and their enemies are s&m nazis.

by the way, anyone else watch the Extended Cut? It's pretty superior to the theatrical cut imo

Cutting the original opening set on earth was probably the biggest mistake Cameron made in the editing. It's a much better introduction to Jake as a character, and gets you more invested in him from the beginning. It's the kind "hero intro" moment that the movie originally lacked.

That plus the deleted subplot about the School, the mercs killing the Na'vi kids, the agency instigating violence in order to trigger a local response so they can justify an attack improve the conflict by quite a bit.

>Not putting a Reddit alien in the power source outlet
What a waste of a webm.

I'm good with what we got.

The lore of the universe doesn't intrigue me enough to want more.

Dune is symbolic of the West coming into Iraq etc for oil (oil = the Spice, Fremen = native Arabs).

I get the feeling that Cameron cares more about avatar than the audience does.

The novel was written in the 60's you tard

I can kinda picture that. I should get my dad to watch the movie. He might hate it though since he keeps saying we should turn Mecca to glass.

>40 year old Robin

Also the young girl who is Paul's sister reminds me so much of Muhammad's Aisha (very young yet independent women who stood up for herself and others).

I suck at comics. Isn't Robin meant to be a similar age as Batman or is he meant to only be a young kid?

Ages since I watched Batman Forever and I forgot.

I apologize if Robin is meant to only be a school kid.

But then so what? They don't have to make Robin the same age as he was in the comics. This is Snyder's DC remember

Dune is literally Lawrence of Arabia in space. Though the idea of multiple factions all vying for control in a desert region valuable mostly for its fuel is a concept that time has only made more relevant.

>tfw Game of Thrones is a Medieval rip off of Dune which should have credited it

>Alpha Century

I c-care about Neytiri

Dune is both of these things.

>Na'vi create human avatars to infiltrate Earth with

>na'vis in human avatars create na'vi avatars to invade Pandora with

>Na'vi doom Earth because they are unwilling to give up their lifestyle.
>Na'vi give up their lifestyle to doom Earth even more.
>These are supposed to be the good guys.
kek

I miss Abatap.

Eywa wills it tawute

Post Neytiri

...

I really need to learn how to make webms

Finger crossed for it becoming more morally grey and humanity ultimately winning

The problem is that their motivations and poorly developed. What's their endgame? Genocide is fanfiction and never implied, earn money? That's a boring as fuck motivation. They need to drop the company from the first movie (just explain they got sized by the government or something).
What they could do is have humans understanding Earth is fucked and travel to Pandora to build a better world. They don't want to murder the na'vi but rather safekeep human culture and achievements.

iirc, Pandora is incredibly rich in a rare material that's used in FTL/space travel.
The company was probably one dedicated to securing and extracting this resource on foreign planets.

>no u tho
Movie actually would have been better if there was a real, poignant argument like this with the Sarge so he wasn't a generic PTSD riddled CISmonster fighting the noble natives.

nobody even remembers or cares about Avatar anymore

i do

Is Avatar actually worth watching or was it just "you need to see it in a theater cause cgi"?

I'm looking foreword to number 2 which is a 20 minute montage of the humans turning Pandora into a fiery crater. Not sure what they could do for a third movie though.

HAHAHAHA JESUS I'd rather see Warcraft 2 and 3.

Yes

Cameron mentioned a third planet life in the Tau Ceti system that also has valuable resources. But no manned expeditions have been made yet because it's too far away. How will this affect the franchise?

Aliens

Talk about putting the cart before the horse.

The movie made money because 3D was still a spectacle that had people's interest and this was pretty much the tentpole movie.

We still had little use for any mid east country beyond oil then

The special effects were cool in that movie, but the story is just a rehash of Disney's Pocahontas.

I really liked Avatar but it's a huge loss that Cameron has signed away the rest of his career to pursue it.

Maybe they have some new gimmicky tech in the pipeline, like 360 3d so the whole cinema is in the action. I think some Disney World show has already done it, not that I think itd be economically feasible but hey.

cinemas really really don't need to be investing in expensive tech for a dwindling audience.

Supposedly Doug Trumbull is working on it so they've likely going to use the digital version of his Showscan idea.

Basically the film will be 24 frames and will speed up to 48 or 60 whenever the camera pans fast or there is high speed action that would cause motion blur or frame jutter., then it gears back down when things normalize.

...

But Avatar was boring, and it sucked. And he literally admitted that they made one or more pointless movies to be released simply to make money.

Sorry, but what the fuck?

The transit times between Earth and Pandora alone could make for some interesting stories. You've already got multiple resupply ships enroute. And it would take until several movies in before earth can launch a military response instead of relying on company paid mercenaries.

>artificial butter/halfdigested popcorn/soda vomit slurry filling theaters everywhere

Now THIS I can get behind!

James Cameron has gone full George Lucas crazy. he needs to be saved from himself

>7 years later people are still posting this autistic image

The dude was an incompetent, 2-dimensional commanding officer to a bunch of contracted forces of a shekel-hungry mining corporation, nothing more.

This is like headcanon shit you'd see on Tumblr.

I mean people were getting sick to the point of theaters posting warning signs on the doors over CLOVERFIELD. I had (pussy) friends who had to walk out of HARDCORE HENRY. And they think this is a good, sustainable idea?

If a second hollywood ran by people who aren't fucking retards doesn't magically pop up in the next 10 years I might just have to write off the visual art format. It was kinda fun while it lasted, I guess.

But think of the Neys! We need more Neys!

Jesus what are they going to do if you write them off?

Think of the jobs, and the people that depend on them.

>Literally saying the same thing back, but it makes no sense, because it doesn't match the speaker at all.

Literally what?

Would that be a realistic surface of the moon? Doesn't physics favour large sized landmasses?

People like it, because we are sick of this noble savage everything the white man does is wrong shit.

Like when the media cheers on protestors who won't allow a telescope to built on a "sacred mountain" in Hawaii. It is getting old.

I honestly stopped watching the movie halfway through, because I was completely annoyed that there was any sympathy for a species of apes trying to prevent us from getting us the fuel we literally need to survive.

Make the humans normal miners/soldiers/scientists who understand the implications of their actions but really want to save their home and everyone they have ever met and not "m-my shekels goy" and it would have been great.
Of course, can't have moral greyscales in a christian blockbuster now :^)

This sold due to the 3d gimmick and cheap simple plot.

No gimmick, mediocre results.

One of the most retarded images I've seen on Sup Forums
And that is saying something.

>Muh fucking spaceinjuns are better than apes but spacefaring ebil humans aren't

When will the rousseau-luddite crap end?

When will liberals and hippies just off themselves?
