Other than the first one I have never met anyone who has seen one or even mentioned them. Baffling

If he wants to stop, that's just fine, too.

I’ll do it for $200k. Just need some blue paint and some stilts.

I mean, is there anyone who really wants more of these things?

If you can't make money with the highest grossing movies of all time, maybe just don't make them.

Or, you know, maybe there are enough of them already.

Or he could stop, and make something good instead

So stop making them before they become Blue Simpsons.

Maybe the director shouldn't be getting $100 million dollars per film? That would save some money.

Imagine how much more it would cost if he had to hire talented writers? “ChatGPT, gimme Dances With Wolves except it’s about blue sexy alien cat ladies. Okay, now do it again, but water. Okay again, but fire. Then wind. Then heart. Haha now make Captain Pandora settle down with the nice cat ladies.”

There's no f*cking way he's not making a profit off these movies.

Avatar was fun to watch as a spectacle of new technology. Like that running horse. It did not require sequels any more than film stayed with just running horses...

Expensive Fern Gully has to be the least compelling white whale a director has ever chased

Has he tried... not making them? That's an option too

Action figure theater!

that’s okay man, just make some other movies instead 👍

>deserves

Or he could do the responsible thing and just stop.

Not anymore

Do it with an am-dram group, paint them blue, use stock footage of whales, use the same script as the previous film…… worked this time.

And here comes the AI blockbuster

Just stop.

Yes overpriced and shoddy…🎬

Here's a CRAZY idea, but what if he actually doesn't HAVE to make more?

tell his ass his job is to make movie not money

Avatar: The Way Too Much Water Was Wasted Making This Movie

💯 And I bet you he’s already been doing it.

That only works as long as the genAI companies are subsidizing the price, once OpenAi and the like have to make a profit they wont be cheaper anymore, if they are even cheaper currently in the first place.

To quote the movie “No Other Choice,” “We had no other choice.”

Came here to say this. He's financially invested in it. I bet every VFX person who's been tailoring their techniques for all three films is delighted by this and won't let anything slip about him at all

He's literally already on the board of directors for a company bragging about using AI to replace visual effect artists, aka those underpaid, overworked people responsible for the only thing anyone likes about those movies.

Underrated post 🤘🏻

You could replace this dipshit's writing with an AI generated script and nobody would notice the difference.

has anybody in here even watched the last avatar movie? I've never heard of a real person discussing it, the plot, their thoughts, or even having watched it in the first place I never even watched the original because 3D doesn't work on me and everybody said not to bother if not for that

Use Ai, James! Your characters will have 6 fingers, look different from scene to scene, and the resources used to create them will be enough to eat a hole through the center of the earth.

I'm fine with something else.

Don't forget, Trump has put a tariff on movies... Somehow.

The best Avatar films are the ones that will never be made.

Why not just sell the unobtainium they keep mining?

Must?

There's another solution...

The cheapest way to make an Avatar movie is to stop making them.

Genious

I thought they already had like 5 of these things written and in production

Very excited to use this. Pay your animators you doofus.

He could just… stop. Please?

Oh don't worry about it James. We're not bothered. Really.

Don't bother.

Do us all and favour and don’t bother looking too hard.

I'd love to make fun of these shitty movies, but he's lying. He's making half a dozen of them at a time and they inexplicably all make two billion dollars. What he means is he would really love to pay VFX artists slave wages because he doesn't think they count as people.

He could just stop, that’d be fine

retire bitch

just stop nobody asked for 5 of them

Meanwhile a talented and extremely well-credited VFX artist I know had to pack up and leave CA and move back to tx and start a completely different career track bc she couldn’t find enough stability working over there but go off JC

AI-vatar.

America's unions are largely top-down, bureaucratic things, with very limited democracy. It's not surprising they lack internationalist values compared to other nations unions.

and it's the part you can't fix with razzle dazzle

Just stop then you ai funding shitheel

Oh no, that would be devastating if we never had to sit through another two and whatever hours of your weirdo boring space Smurf drama. Absolutely devastating.

Just go the Roger Corman way

How many Fern Gully reboots do we need?

I don't know why he thinks it'll cost all that much The original still holds up and wasn't made for a billion dollars youtu.be/68ugkg9RePc

If only they were humans that one could simply pay to act and film them

Has he considered therapy?

He could just stop. Like nobody would even notice if he did.

Perfect time to post this old joke that I made here youtu.be/D902_RiymMQ?...

Cut your salary, bitch.

Cast smurfs.

Sock puppets

He could make them less than 2 hours long and save a huge amount that way!

it's okay champ you can stop

Yeah, it's called not making them because it's a forgettable franchise

There is an alternative…

We don't need more avatar movies. Problem solved.

Or just stop

oh no

he could cut 100% of it

Who is watching these things

Piranha 2 is still his best film. Make another of those!

I hope he doesn't so we can finally be free of the avatar franchise forever amen

Make it 30 mins shorter. 3 hours 15 minutes is crazy.

This guy earned $350m from Avatar, which is the all-time record for a director.

it's time to bring back suitmation

A.I Slop Apologist, apparently...

The man is worth 1.1 billion dollars. If he can’t fund his vision, he needs to scale it down or just stop.

Or maybe consider that the franchise has run its course and it's time to be creative and make something NEW instead of just rehashing the same stuff over and over.

Tell him not to bother since nobody cares.

Fuck this rich bitch

Just have @mega64official.bsky.social make them. Have you seen Evangelion in 5 minutes? Masterpiece.

Yeah , please stop making this nonsense

Never seen him in the queue at the foodbank 🤔

Or don't bother.

"i spent all the sales budgets on 30 or 40 yachts and i dont want to sacrifice my way of living to pay the artists that work hard to make my vision reality"

I know a guy he can consult...

No, he has not.

These films have made him a hundred eleventy bajillion dollars!!! Why can't he just apply some of that $$$ over there?

Jim: It’s definitely okay to stop making Avatar movies.

Translation: "I will be poisoning my movies with AI"

All muppets.

They're already bad. No need of AI to make them worse.

Yeah. Spielberg did the last one & Jackson produced it. Their idea was to swap roles for the sequel. But it flopped in the states 'cos nobody there knows what Tintin is. The sequel's an unlikely prospect now.

Stop making them. Diminishing returns.

Or he could just not.

He can pay himself less

Don't do it is cheaper.

I can't think of a franchise of Movies I could give less of a fuck about

RED FLAG RED FLAG RED FLAG RED FL

how much can a bucket of blue paint possibly cost??
