He’s focusing so hard on his themes being timeless that he’s no longer challenging the audience. Which is why they’re only winning visual art Oscars.

    I don’t find them entertaining.

    I’ll grant you the artwork going in to them is wonderfully done, the cinematography is better than the marvel movies but that’s a frighteningly low bar. But the storytelling, character development, and you know, movie part of the avatar movies is a boring slog.

        Weirdly enough, that has been my biggest issue with both. The military is portrayed so over the top, that it’s laughable.

        I get it, military bad, natives good, I’m totally on board with that, but give them some nuance!
