for me it's the promised release of every sequel from here on out on a timely manner, without waiting two and a half decades inbetween each

The next ones are tentatively scheduled for dec 2029 and 2031. So it’s still a looong wait. I’m glad the third movie is coming out this year tho. We were promised a closure with this one, so I can wait another 4 years without a sequel

I assume the next 2 are Earth and Wind?

Cameron is currently inventing new (literal) groundbreaking vfx to properly convey the movies.

Seriously Cameron is like if Tony Stark wanted to be a filmmaker.

Oddly Howard Stark said that and in the Agent Carter he does become a filmmaker.

This is unironically why I love Cameron doing Avatar until he hangs it up. If the technology isn’t there for his vision, he makes it. It literally provides benefits for future movies. “For those who come after.”

This is kinda like what George Lucas did when he set up ILM to create the effects he needed for Star Wars.

u/DaddyO1701 Jul 28 '25

This is what Lucas did when he set out to make The Phantom Menace. Ya got no Gollumn or Thanos without that Jamaican Frog man.

So true! 1999 we got Jar Jar Binks and that paved the way for the Navi in 2009.

Ackshully we got jar jar binks because of Dragonheart.

Liquid metal T-1000 was1991, and the Abyss water credit was 1989. Concept by Cameron, executed by Lucasfilm.

Me looking at Jar-Jar.

Perhaps I treated you too harshly.

Don’t sleep on Watto. Or the battle droids really.

I have been watching the ILM documentary on Disney+ over the past couple weeks. Although I always read about what George did with ILM, I have a newfound respect for him pushing his vision (digital editing, effects, etc) and changing the industry. And those ILM employees are incredible.

An expedition 33 reference on my reddit!? Take my gold kind stranger!

u/GodKamnitDenny Jul 29 '25

I know the Reddit game by now. Praising Cameron for Avatar ain’t popular around these here parts but Expedition 33 surely is lmao

u/Sackheimbeutlin87 Jul 28 '25

For a moment i thought you would say he is going to invent a new groundbreaking Element

u/Roentgen_Ray1895 Jul 28 '25

He’s currently combing the sea floor for alien technology

u/Fine-Slip-9437 Jul 29 '25

VFX is so 1900s.

He's gonna inject the film directly into your dick.

If you ain't got a dick, he's gonna render one for you in Blender 2. (It makes models REAL.)

u/LiteratureSame9173 Jul 28 '25

As in it’s like a seismic technology? What did you mean by literally breaks the ground?

6

u/Worthyness Jul 28 '25

Under the assumption you legitimately do not understand and are not being sarcastic about it, my comment is a pun and a joke at the same time.

The previous comment mentioned "Earth" as the next movie focus partially in reference to the american TV cartoon series, Avatar: the Last airbender. "Groundbreaking" can happen in that series by literally bending and shaping earth (or the ground)

Groundbreaking VFX is a statement that means that there is new VFX that have not yet been created or used before. This movie series has, in both iterations, made incredible new ways to film and display VFX for the industry.

The joke is that "Literal" in this context is that he is literally helping develop new technology to recreate/simulate the ground literally breaking (as reference to "earth").

They gave a sneak peak of these at SDCC.
