Avatar: The Way of Water | 16 DEC 2022 | Don't worry guys, critics like it

[Elessar]

Folks are overestimating the significance of the underwater stuff in Avatar 2. I believe the producer said in an interview a while ago the sequel won't be "the film that takes place underwater". That stuff is gonna be a part of it, yes, but a relatively minor part.

I don't think so, it has cemented my belief that China loves underwater stuff though. Jim knows exactly what he's doing.

None, the underwater performance capture technology that they're working on with WETA will be exclusive use for a while, once Jim is done with it then you'll see it being used in other movies that require that sort of thing. 

 

Second issue we're just under two years away....people have very short memories and Aquaman will be in the rear view mirror by then.

Exactly Aquaman is already at $233 million in China, I expect Avatar to double or triple whatever AQ finishes with, assuming it doesn't get pulled from theatres in China for political reasons.

Since when does being the first to do something matter.

 

They're releasing the same superhero movie over and over and it's making money each time.

 

Aquaman shows that people aren't put off by water and not much else.

Jim is always the first to do it right.

Aquaman is fucking glorious but I have no doubt that James has been paying attention to it, will see the film, and has cooked up something that will up the ante and also be really different.

[Plain Old Tele]

AQUAMAN is pretty terrible, but the visuals are fine (although IMO a lot of the aesthetic seemed inspired by AVATAR in the first place).

Avatar's inspired a lot of films.

 

So Aquaman is a run of the mill superhero movie? Why doesn't that suprise me. Where are the killer blockbusters... does Jim have to do everything...

In case you ve never noticed, under water, it's black.

There aren't that many roads to go under the sea, designs wise.

Not even knocking the aesthetic, it’s pretty to look at for sure. Just that my first (and ongoing, general) reaction was, “Hey, AVATAR!”

Don't know if we missed this but looks like the new Ubisoft game by the team that made The Division will be called Avatar: Pandora Rising.

Heard pretty bad things about it, another MMO/shooter that becomes a loot grind.

 

Avatar needed some KOTOR type adventure game.

Well The Division was popular so atleast it will sell.

I'm not The Division type games either, role player games, RTS, FPS in that order.

Yes, both Division/Division 2 are loot shooters, but I don't think they are saying that is what the Avatar game is going to be.  They haven't said a peep about genre or anything.

 

Also, KOTOR isn't an adventure game 😬

Not literally, dammit.

 

But the same sort of complicated, nuanced story in a huge, open-world environment that encourages exploration.

Deep Wang's got a point about KOTOR @MrGlass2, the perfect Avatar game would have lots of exploration including the riding of different creatures including banshee's of course. An adventure RPG like morrowind would be tippity toppity notch.

Yeah that would be incredible, much better than cowboys on Pandora
