It had never occurred to me that Eywa might not be this benevolent planetary consciousness who loves all things and decided to embrace Jake when none of the other Navi would because he has a 'good heart' or some trite shit. I really like the idea you alluded to that Eywa only protected Jake because he was this oblivious clown who could be manipulated to turn against his own people. Means Eywa goes from spirit of the forest to scheming neural network bent on survival at any cost.

I love that theory actually. Jake is a bit of an idiot, he meets aliens at a new planet and behaves like an everyday American, of course the spirit God is gonna think he's a moron and so did Neytiri. But I honestly like this silly old school romance they have. Sometimes it's nice to just have a very generic boy meets girl form different worlds, they teach each other and fall in love. Both of them become more interesting as they grow, they raise a family with everyday family drama, simple. I miss that. Not everything has to be overly complex to be interesting and characters don't have to be girl bosses. Everyone is allowed to express emotions and make mistakes. Just some good old "how I met your mother" and fought in a war kinda stuff

The part that encapsulates the problems with this movie for me is the bit right after the tree being torn down and before they go off to rally the troops for the final battle - the good humans are captured and being held in a cell together, looking miserable. This would have been the perfect time for Sully to express his feelings about the mistakes he's made, compare where he is now to where he was at the beginning of the film, maybe get some advice from Sigourney Weaver. Just some kind of pause in the film for us to catch our breath and spend time with the people the story has asked us to follow before going into the climax. But there's none of that, it's a tiny moment of them looking sad in the cell, and then one of their friends breaks them out and they're rushing off again. It highlights for me how the film (particularly the dialogue) is 99-100% world-building or exposition. Even Sigourney Weaver's grouchy one-liners include some relevant detail that explains how things work or sets up a detail for later. Then when it gets to the character's emotional low point, the film treats it like a box to quickly tick before moving on. In my opinion, that world-building-over-character approach is why this film is so lacking in personality.

The Eywa spirit gave laws to the Na'Vi telling them to never build structures, never use wheels, and to never dig the metals in the ground. So the tree spirit is basically manipulating them to never be able to advance technologically.

I saw this twice in the theater back in 2009 and never again. Oh well. What I remember is thinking that James Cameron spent 10 years perfecting the technology to bring the Navi and Pandora to life on film, but too bad he only spend a long weekend on the script.

He's incredibly reckless and gets lost almost immediately but he's forgiven just as fast because the Navi trust him. He's an enormous ass for the first 2/3 of the movie when he's interacting with them, and when Neytiri finally has enough of his shit he just finds a bird and they all forgive him. The single best part of Avatar 2 is that we see him actually respect the sea people and not be an idiot, and watch him deal with the consequences of his betrayal of the RDA in the first movie.

It's an anime film about a woman who falls in love with a man that can transform into a wolf and bears his children. He passes away, however, and the woman must quickly learn how to raise these kids that have inherited their father's ability. It's a really touching story about parenthood and grappling with the struggle of supporting your children while also giving them the freedom to explore their own futures. "As a father" I think you might really enjoy it, James!

James Cameron feels like the work environment of an Amazon warehouse personified

you should do district 9. it was the other alien movie from 2009, but way way better, honestly it is one of my favorite movies

the movie "Morbius" (2022) has had a greater cultural impact that James Cameron's "Avatar" (2009)

As a fan of Marvel's Occult stuff I'd love to see you talk about the super underrated Helstrom show or the Ghost Rider films. Things that would do well with the algorithm: National Treasure, Dune, Magic Mike.

Nah man Helstrom was awful, it's perfectly rated as it is

I want all of the Blue Harvest jokes framed in a Museum one day.😂

The edit for COD: Black Ops when he says Mason didn’t go unnoticed and I love the reference ❤

I completely agree with Mason on how Uncanny Valley the Na’vi are, and I absolutely agree with James about how impossible it is to like Jake Sully.

The worst part is that Sam Worthington can actually act. Saw him in "Under the banner of heaven" last year and he was amazing in that. He just got signed up for dumb movies by his agents in previous decades.

As a Canadian, all I want for Xmas is more content from Ben. That'd be great! Thx! 🇨🇦

Since you're taking suggestions, I'd love to see more comic stuff on Caravan of Garbage. Either that or the Cars trilogy since the editor seems to have a weird obsession with that franchise LOL

Well the boys did it again. Turns out this is a review of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I am surprised they didn’t enjoy Book One: Water. Based on the color palette you can tell the creators harvested a wide range of blues, a “blue harvest” if you will. Coincidentally, “Blue Harvest” was also the working title of Return of the Jedi.

I heard the only reason Cameron named the new one "Way of the Water" was because he missed nearly drowning someone in the first one.

I saw the Avatar re-release with my ladyfriend. I felt nothing. She loved it and thought there was something wrong with me.

Watching Avatar 2 in 3 hours, in IMAX 3d… & this is exactly what I needed 😂😂😂😂

Suggestion for a CoG for next year, now that “The Crow” reboot seems to actually be happening, maybe go through the original graphic novel, or the first three movies and the production hell that the reboot has faced in the decade plus since it was announced. Anywho cheers all the gr8 m8s for another gr8 year of the pod!

My sister loves this movie despite the fact she was 8 when it came out. She has bought tickets to see the new one at a 4D theater, 2 states away next week. I certainly hope it’s worth the drive.

oh my goodness the idea of you guys covering the hsm trilogy has already got me psyched. idk what i need to do to convince you to watch those films but pleaseeeeee do it!!

Thanks for a great year of videos. Love this show. I've even re-watched movies you've talked about just because

The one thing I can't ever get over about this movie is Cameron just copied the story of dances with wolves to a T and called it a day.

I seriously laughed so hard at that jumped over a plant joke I sprayed my drink out of my nose😅

I haven't watched Avatar since seeing it in 2009, and with the exception of a few scenes shown here, I couldn't tell you which footage came from the first film, or trailers of the new one, that's how little impact it left on me. Technologically incredible, but like you said, I felt nothing from watching it.

Yeah same here, I really really wish I could like this movie, on paper it sounds like something I'd love, but experiencing it leaves me feeling aggressively apathetic and I can't quite put my finger on why. Sure the plot sucks and the characters are wood, but the visuals and world-building are supposed to be the main appeal, and they still didn't impress me in the slightest. Something about it is just so...windows screensaver, you know?

@@RoguSpanish My speculation why the film feels a bit window screen ich..Is because 80% of the film focuses on characters that do not exist in a world that does not exist, of which if you could play you would have thought it was a video game, however can you not. So all you have left is an auto pilot game...Screen saver.. 1an circumvented this by having 40% focus on real people in real "locations"

@@KongGig Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking, despite being the most realistic looking CGI I've ever seen, the world still felt too fake to suck me in. I felt infinitely more immersed in middle-earth watching the LOTR movies and they didn't even need to invent new 3D technology to do it, it was just a more believable and relatable world.

​@@PakoVero Right, it looks too much like a graphics card demo video to be immersive while also being too lazy to be memorable, it's just a jungle with some glowing stuff here and there and animals that are basically regular animals but with extra arms and lots of pointless tendrils hanging off em. It's somehow both trying too hard and not trying hard enough.

Something I'd really like to see on Caravan of Garbage is Highlander. I don't know what it could be tying into to make it relevant but I think it would be a bit of fun.

I suspect there's an uncanny valley for physics in general that can take people out of movies. It's like when some people can watch an entire CGI scene in a movie and think it's real and another person thinks it's the most fake thing ever. Seeing a bunch of gravity defying mountains and plants and animals can break the suspension of disbelief.

Love this, have a good holiday boys! Would love to see you guys look at the first issues where characters are introduced. I.E. First issue of Detective Comics, etc.

One thing I'll give this movie is that it is gigantic. Like, in Endgame the big final battle is just a bunch of dudes fist-fighting in a muddy field. In Avatar, everything is crisp and clear, and the geohraphy makes sense and watching it on the big screen the spectacle is truly spectacular.

I’m astonished neither of them mentioned how Sam Worthington’s accent wildly fluctuates during his narration. The scene where he returns to his banshee after the tree falls is incredibly jarring as he goes from Australian to American in the same scene

I'd love for you guys to cover Man from U.N.C.L.E. (especially vs the old tv show if you wanted to sit through four seasons of questionable quality) if you ever had the chance, especially in with murmurings of a sequel now with a post-Superman/Witcher Cavill technically free (not sure how they'd uh get past the whole Armie Hammer Thing though) - particularly would love to hear Mason's thoughts on the costuming!

The extended cut (& deleted scenes) do a lot for the characters. Norm (the nerd) gets an arc, Tsu'tey (the dickish Navi rival) is humanised. You see Jake on Earth and his arc is much more fleshed out (particularly via the Dream Hunt sequence). Still extremely simple & predictable, but much more likeable. The subplot about Grace's Navi school also does a lot to flesh out the backstory & emotional stakes. Since The Way of Water is 3 hours and 10 minutes anyway I don't understand why they didn't use the extended cut of Avatar for the re-release, or finish and add some of the deleted scenes. The studio is clearly already letting Cameron do whatever the fuck he wants.

@@shawnnbits the finished Collector's Extended Cut is 15 minutes longer than the Theatrical cut, but the blu Ray includes about 40 minutes of additional deleted scenes with unfinished cgi, all of which can be found on KZread. A lot of those deleted scenes are quite strong.

I'd love to see the Star Wars Sequel trilogy (big fan of those movies!) and LOTR :)

I read the original script (YES, I WAS BORED) and noticed that when Jake first wakes up in his avatar body and stands up, he doesn't laugh - he cries! I wish they'd done that in the movie...

When my friend was describing this back in the day, I said, "So, it's Fern Gully with Smurfs?"

Thanks for the content. It’s so much fun to watch and rewatch these 😊 enjoy the break and I’m looking forward to watching the next videos

Ya know? I remember seeing this when it came out and really enjoying it. Having not seen it for many years, watching again I still really enjoy it. Solid movie

Here's a correction no one asked for: the last three of the six Paul Anderson Resident Evil movies were 3D, but only the final one was post-converted. Afterlife and Retribution were both actually shot in 3D.

Happy new year and merry Christmas lads and everyone else at Weekly Planet.
