Only Mad Max Fury Road and that was a one time thing.

John Wick.

Mission Impossible.

2/3 Of the current X-Men trilogy

Planet Of The Apes

 

Non franchise wise: Baby Driver, Wonder Woman

i'm not sure what i'm supposed to be getting from this argument. james cameron should be embarrassed his filmography doesn't match a studio's entire output or what?

Oh it's nothing.

 

Literally the only thing people can hold over BP (other than Disney's TFA) is Avatar and Titanic.

 

So guess what people want to debate the most this weekend?

Can Cameron fans stop acting like they're Fellini fans? With a few exceptions, that are not Titanic or Avatar, Cameron is as cookie cutter as the MCU.

John Wick? 

 

X-men movies?

 

Critical consensus says otherwise.

 

Planet of Apes and Mission Impossible movies might beat MCU's best RT avg ratings. 

 

I dunno.

 

Also, I said no single movies.

I like Cameron but he's becoming the go to guy for people who root against Disney.

 

Some people root against Disney/Marvel for their corporate approach and others for their "liberal agenda" 

which is weird considering he now works for them.

Maybe, maybe not. But the better joke is "critically acclaimed" Disney's SW and MCU movies winning 0 after 20+ attempts.

 

And Jim Cameron lost his 2nd directing Oscar to one of his exes who made a movie that cost as much as one of his on-set RV trailers but I digress.

I think they're still going through the 5 stages of grief.

 

Acceptance is a long ways off still.

I love his work (well most of it) but fandom trying to be pretentious about his work grinds my gears. 

 

(I would say Cameron and top-tier MCU are "cookie cuttter" in that they're top of the line cookie cutting as populist filmmaking goes.)

I think average rating is a better judge of critical acclaim.

 

Spider-man Homecoming has 92% tomatometer but a 7.7 average rating.

Only a Cameron fan would consider a comparison to the MCU an insult.

Nailed it.

 

Marvel Studios and Cameron are experts at engineering winning formulas.

 

But, as you said, both are guilty of populist filmmaking.

For the subject matter it really has had great legs, particularly the last month. 

the controversy surrounding the film may help the film to stay afloat
