  1. I really hope they do the same as Toy Story 3 and HTTYD2, and start this story 5-13 years from the first one. I really want to know what's happened to these characters over the years.

     

    For example, they could open with the Incredibles taking on the underminer. Then an opening-credits montage shows what happens to the characters over the years in a weird form of exposition and then the story starts.

     

    On the other hand, we have Brad Bird. I'm fine with whatever he does. I'd watch this even if he left out the superpowers.

  2. With fox putting out juggernaut 2 and 3 and battle angel and cameron as the king of the world..,, Disney better be on guard of fox. they have lots of tentpoles. And any film epic with camerons name on it. Is a Destroyer of disney dominance

    Even if those movies would do as much as you imply. That's still only one movie per year tops. That's nothing to be afraid of. If Cameron sticks to his Christmas release dates, then Disney is rather safe. Disney is busy claiming summer and November.

  3. Gravity, Inception, and Interstellar didn't have even a fraction of the success and pop culture saturation of Avatar. And whether haters want to admit it or not, Avatar had characters that audiences loved. Sure, this post will totally get a bunch of "Please! Nobody cares about Avatar's characters!!" responses, but guess what? I, like millions others, enjoyed the film because we rooted for Neytiri and Jake. Of course, detractors will never admit to it because they can't attack the movie on any other front. All they have to go on with is the inaccurate "nobody cares about the characters" chant. However, an action/fantasy film won't do close to 3 billion dollars if audiences don't care about what the characters go through. Sorry, haters!

    My post was about what made people go to theaters. I bet you did not go to the theater because you heard Avatar had really intricate characters with a beautiful story that will make you root for them. Everyone went to Avatar because it was one of those in-theater experiences.

     

    Over the past years, there has always been room for an 'original' effects spectacle in theaters. Avatar 2 will be a sequel to, and it won't come of as a unique experience like the first one did.

  4. Good thing theyre not catering to your wants. The general public wants Minions being Minions, and thats what we're gonna get. Basic economics = stick to what you know. McDonads making pizza? Bad idea. MTV making conservative programming? Bad idea. Pixar making adult westerns? Bad idea. You stick to what works. The minions acting like Minions is the golden formula. Stray away from that and people wont be pleased. Its looks like Illumination will be giving us that, so this will be a success. And since the Minions are the defacto main characters of DM, this will be an even bigger success than it should be.

    The problem with your statements is that GA don't know about filmmaking or storytelling. A movie where your main characters have no character beyond that of a retarded toddler, will need a very very good story to compromise. Otherwise the movie will have you leave the theater with a sour taste. That kind of trope may work for an animated tv-series where the episodes aren't longer than 20 minutes, but for a one-and-a-half hour movie, that's very unsatisfying.
