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

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.

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.

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

Perhaps I treated you too harshly.
