Nickelodeon should sue at this point lmao

Dude, not today. We don't need this.

Moderation @Jeight has been threadbanned for 24 hours for derailing the thread and continuing the "Strange 2 and Thor 4 have good WOM actually" fights that I specifically told him to stop doing.

Yeah. Because it's their job. If I was in these movies, I would be saying "wow, Avatar 3's going to blow y'alls minds. Avatar 4's gonna blow y'alls minds even harder. Avatar 5's gonna be even better than all of them". And for the record, I'm sure Avatar 3 will be better. I'm confident in Daddy Cameron delivering something good here. But like it's not anything revelatory to hear all these puff pieces when it's part of the job to promote your new projects.

Because VFX workers are being streched to their absolute limits by the evils of capitalism. While CGI-heavy films were common in the mid-2000s, they didn't clog up the market as much as they are now. Now every movie is a CGI-heavy tentpole. There's whole-ass TV shows from Disney+ and Netflix that have as much, arguably more VFX gobbledygook than the movies coming out. So you have an entire industry stretched towards its limits. There's too few workers available to do it all, the hours are grueling and take forever, and the deadlines are the tightest they have ever been. So you have understaffed companies full of people who are overworked and underpaid, and are under the wrath of studio executives who don't give a shit about film as an art form and will force crappy-looking movies out to fill out a spreadsheet and probably get some memes out of it for free publicity. Helps also these movies are done by directors who go from an indie straight to a 100-200M+ production that have no clue how to work with that kind of big budget. So how would they know to make good VFX? So basically, capitalism is evil, hates the working class, is anti-art, and will kill us faster than the virus will. I hope I already cleared everything up for you, but here's a Vulture article that goes into even greater detail. https://www.vulture.com/2023/01/inside-the-vfx-union-brewing-in-hollywood.html?utm_medium=s1&utm_source=tw&utm_campaign=vulture

I mean...wouldn't it make sense somebody would try and push their next movie as better than the last one? Like do you really think Simon Franglen will say "lol Avatar 3 sucks my dudes. It ain't as good as Way of Water"

I mean with the exception of 1993, every time the franchise has "ended" has always sucked eggs. This is just par for the course.

Good for him.
