James Cameron reveals Avatar sequels antagonist details *SPOILERS* - Sensationalist Headlines

Spoiler alert, Mr. Cameron, no one remembers or likes Pocahontas II, so it's best to get your story and character inspiration from somewhere else.

I wonder what kind of developmental hell this film has been through... this must be an attempt to scale back and refocus the films, as if assuming anybody still wants to see them.

[QUOTE=WhyNott;52551828]maybe he had a very poor insurance package[/QUOTE] Well if future VA benefits are anything like today it isn't that surprising.

Technically Lord of the Rings was also a series of movies about a bunch of barefoot natureboys getting threatened by a guy that was already dead before the films even began. So I'm not going to judge anything until I've seen it.

[QUOTE=Bradyns;52552375]He was an avatar all along....[/QUOTE] Wait, what if Col badguy is an Avatar of a Navi, and hes just the Hitler of Navi?

[QUOTE=Paul-Simon;52551639]They don't want to destroy the planet. The whole reason they went there is because of the invaluable material it has which allows for easy anti-matter production or something. The resources from that planet has probably become completely integral to human society.[/QUOTE] The not-so-subtle clue I got from the movie is that "unobtainium" is some sort of naturally occurring high-temperature super-conductor. At least that's the impression I got from the floating islands (superconductors float in magnetic fields, and that section of Pandora had freakishly high levels of magnetic flux) and the floating chunk of it on what's-his-fuck's desk. [QUOTE=WhyNott;52551828]maybe he had a very poor insurance package[/QUOTE] You may have meant this as a joke, but that's pretty much exactly why. He states early in the film that "they can fix a spinal, but not on vets benefits".

Quartich better be a badass cyborg motherfucker by the 5th... Movie... Oh Cameron you sly bastard and your avatar-terminator crossover.

[QUOTE=Durandal;52551526]Thought the Navi arrows where dipped in poisonous stuff too to help kill whatever they where trying to kill. Why bring back a character that is most likely dead as fuck??? He's not even a super memorable villian either. He's an archetypal former military hardass who trys to get the job done no matter what. Also is up-yours-tanium so valuable that Not-Weyland-Yultani would risk even more millions in military hardware and mercs to another alien smackdown?[/QUOTE] It's worth so much that theyd do it 5 more times

[QUOTE=AaronM202;52551644]These movies are never coming out.[/QUOTE] Inshallah

[QUOTE=Shirt.;52552642]Quartich better be a badass cyborg motherfucker by the 5th... Movie... Oh Cameron you sly bastard and your avatar-terminator crossover.[/QUOTE] Well how else are you going to stop those pesky flying Na'avi without some sort of sky...net...

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;52552270]Spoiler alert, Mr. Cameron, no one remembers or likes Pocahontas II, so it's best to get your story and character inspiration from somewhere else.[/QUOTE] A story about the Navi woman having to go to Earth and adapting to human society only to ultimately fail and everyone getting along in the end sounds so unbelievably fucking stupid that I actually want to watch it.

I think the world where the story takes place is a moon with lower mass, so maybe then there would be an impact, but I doubt it. Plus nuking it will not destroy the minerals below the ground. Although, in truth, bombardment is inefficient and expensive. However, all life on that world seems to have some degree of biological connection. So, all they have to do is engineer a super-virus that infects navi, drop it, and let the whole ecosystem die in writhing agony. If they can clone these fuckers, designing a virus to kill them should not be too hard.

I'm OK with this as long as JC doesn't go back and change parts of Avatar to suit the sequels, and re-releasing it. That would suck.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;52551374]How incredibly boring.[/QUOTE] I hope by the end of the series he's just a man loosely held together by his scars

what if he just comes back still impaled by the arrows and every movie adds more and more arrows to his chest

So basically the next 4 avatar movies are going to be this... [img]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fGUaIQpWdME/maxresdefault.jpg[/img]

if this ends up being a cinematic universe they'll just have Stephen Lang dying in every movie like Sean Bean

i must be the only one whose dog wasnt killed by avatar i dont regret paying $7 to watch cool looking stuff blow up in 3d for a bit. if the next films are more of the same but cooler looking and more blower upper, who gives a shit? not every film can or should be some super deep reflection on human nature or something, avatar is a simple story about a man who becomes a cat and blows up capitalism

[QUOTE=Cliff2;52551701]If that's their concern, then why did they bomb the shit out of the giant tree where they said the largest deposit of unobtainium was?[/QUOTE] They had to get the tree out of the way to get at the unobtanium [editline]8th August 2017[/editline] Or as James Cameron puts it, [IMG]https://i.gyazo.com/b61359aa99df460ca5c2e056b66318ae.png[/IMG]

but will they make me actually like the protagonist or acknowledge his wrongdoing remember the entire conflict with the na'vi and the military was because jake spent all of his time in his avatar fucking around and trying to bone neytri instead of doing his job which was [I]explain what the humans wanted and open negotiations [/I]and at the end after a shitload of humans and na'vi have died in a pointless conflict they're like "lol all's forgiven" i don't think i've ever wanted a protagonist to eat shit so badly in my life

[QUOTE=WhyNott;52551828]maybe he had a very poor insurance package[/QUOTE] They actually did say that. I don't remember the exact quote, but something about "they can fix a spinal, but not on vet insurance, not in this economy".

The first one was a mistake, and this one will be too.

Hope the humans go full Imperium of Man on those overgrown smurfs.

For such a successful film I legitimately couldn't name a single character from it from the top of my head. I wonder what theyll do if the 2nd film bombs since they have all the other sequels to release.

[QUOTE=meppers;52551409]how would you survive this? [IMG]http://www.cinema52.com/2014/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/QuaritchArrowed-1024x576.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Good idea, Cameron. Retcon the most dramatic kill so now I won't be able to suspend my disbelief over any deaths in your sequel!

[QUOTE=postal;52551666]not a chance lol. actual production work on the project [url=http://deadline.com/2017/07/avatar-sequels-james-cameron-weta-digital-visual-effects-new-zealand-1202139097/]officially began a little over a week ago [/url] and there's just way too much invested in them at this point to pull out. there's going to be something to show for all this time and money at this point or Fox would be crushed. "Weta Digital now embarks on the most ambitious — creatively and financially –project in movie history: four sequels to Hollywood’s all-time top grossing film, pictures that will be made in sequence at an [B]estimated collective cost exceeding $1 billion.[/B]" yea there's no backing out lol[/QUOTE] if Cameron dies of some accident, you best be sure they'll do their damn best to clone him too :v: [editline]9th August 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;52551817]So they have the ability to basically cure death but not get the fucking protagonists legs to work, and hes still stuck to a normal wheelchair in futurespace? Yea ok.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=WhyNott;52551828]maybe he had a very poor insurance package[/QUOTE] No, really, didn't they explain that was the case in the movie? I could've sworn he mentioned he couldn't afford new legs. Also, didn't the villain say that after getting rid of the aliens he'd get him new legs?

Avatar was a good movie back in 2009 but it really doesn't need these cash grab sequels.

Maybe his one of a thousand avatars that are systematically placed in different installations, to improve and hasty deploy a proper leadership wherever it's necessary. So that means we'll get a thousand sequels

Could we just have a Xenomorph infestation take over the planet and murder everybody.
