What happens if Avatar: Fire and Ash doesn’t make enough profit to convince Disney to bankroll Avatar 4 and 5? Creator James Cameron has said he’s ready to walk away from the franchise, adding he’ll write a book to resolve the one thread Avatar 3 leaves open.
People watch Avatar because of the bleeding edge CG. It’s not a unique story. It never has been. It’s Pocahontas. It’s Dances with Wolves. It’s Fern Gully. It’s A Man Called Horse.
Theyre all similar stories. Foreign heroes saving the “savage” local population that can’t defend themselves from the technology, while learning about them along the way.
The story isn’t why people go to watch Avatar.
