Avatar was a silly overrated cartoon to begin with.


Not only that, it promoted bestiality. 🤣

Hollywood keeps milking these tired old themes for easy bucks. Create something new!!!

There's plenty of talent out there with new fresh ideas who are being stifled so the studios can regurgitate this crap.

this movie is not about that cartoon at all

reply

What fresh ideas? Examples?

reply

I'm not a screenwriter but I live in LA and Hollywood is full of them.

Sure, I didn't like "Avatar", but it was good for an average movie I guess.

What I'm against is sequel after sequel of anything, especially "Avatar".

Take one of the big recent sc-fi novels and turn that into a film.

reply

I fully agree about sequels; but there are plenty original ideas in low-budget non hollywood movies.
Anyway, hollywood gonna produce whatever is more likely to make a profit, and make it as appealing as possible to all audiences, so never expect something extraordinary from there.

This is for the guy who can’t actually write screenplays. Being “full of [something]” does not mean that any example of it is good. You have not defended your statement at all. It is a wish, not a fact. Present evidence, or move on.

reply

Present evidence that a new and original film is better than yesterday's regurgitated vomit? Are you daft?

reply

"..Not only that, it promoted bestiality."

Wait, what?

reply

Oh, don't you dare talk shit about Avatar the Last Airbender cartoon! But on a serious note, what now about bestiality?

reply

I dunno, there's just something unsavory about it. They're presenting these halfcats as romanticized beings, valiant in their love. I would not be surprised if fools have erotic fantasies about them. It's just weird.

reply

I mean, I don't like Avatar, the James Cameron one, but I do think it is this weird thing in sci-fi generally how they never address the fact a human and an alien creature can be sexually attracted to each other. Kinda like how mermaid and human relations are addressed in Futurama, of all shows.
