Turning Red does feel like the first one in a long time that has an interesting, distinctive art style that works well with the story they're telling. Coco had the Pixar look but was really good with fantastic music, which goes a long way. I'm consistently entertained by Miller and Lord's stuff but I find it lacks the pathos of the better Pixar efforts (except Spider-Verse, that one works on all levels).

I'm an older brother and a dad and it's not the same thing, trying to equate them rang so hollow to me.

flashy_mcflash posted:I loved Turning Red, though some of that is Toronto bias, but neither I or my kids liked Soul or Onward at all. As a non-Canadian I loved Turning Red. Felt like something much more significant than a lot of recent era Pixar stuff. Could not stand Soul, such a waste of Jamie Foxx and all the folks who put a lot of effort in behind the scenes. Liked Coco a lot but the presence of an Americanized border crossing being such a prominent framing for the story kind of took me out of the movie every time it showed up. Brave was really good albeit felt a little misfire-ish. Same for Inside Out - which apparently they're making another one? That's...not encouraging. Incredibles is my favorite Pixar movie by a large margin, so I should probably get around to watching the sequel but not exactly in a rush for obvious reasons.

Avatar: Sea World looks bad. I can't help but feel like the lack of humans in this is going to affect the box office?

Oh, did you not like the shot in this new trailer where they clearly wanted you to think, "That blue alien lady is hot af"? I will never understand Avatar. (And yes, I understand the irony of my...avatar being a...blue person. God dammit.)

Either you're watching these at upscaled 480p or something, or you have entirely misremembered what PS3 tech demos looked like, or you have a brain bleed. I hope it's the first two.

Avatar 2 looks visually spectacular. I'm down for Cameron's underwater action spectacle. Turnout for the rerelease of the first film seemed to indicate strong interest in the sequel, from what I had read. Though I was reading stuff based on Asia. Never got the complaint about it not being the most original narrative framework. The biggest franchise in the world right now regularly finds success with formulaic superhero stories. Action blockbusters are normally about scene-by-scene execution and spectacle, two things Cameron excels at. I don't know, maybe this will be the first time people forecasting a Cameron flop will be right, but it looks like fun to me.

With Cameron's love of deep sea exploration, I bet this film is close to his heart. Sure, narrative notes may seem familiar, but the world needs a pro-ecology and pro-native-rights message now and again. (And if not now, then when?)

I’m gonna see avatar 2 but I’m in no way hyped for it and only seeing out of a sense of obligation and curiosity for a film I’ve long long since fell out of love of. I saw these kinda neat avatar toys at target and thought…maybe…but every time I imagine owning one I realize how little I care about everything in that movie lol

Alita is definitely a combination of all of Cameron's fetishes. A transhuman latina who can breath underwater and lift an IMAX camera with one hand. And I am completely fine with that as a fan of latinas, petite women and cyborgs.

I got used to blue dudes but Alita never stopped creeping me out. And there’s just no reason for her to look so weird. I like the manga a bit but that adaptation was a big miss for me.

Michelle Rodriguez was in Avatar (also hope she returns in Alita 2), Natalia Reyes plays the savior of humanity in Terminator: Dark Fate, and Dark Angel had Jessica Alba play a supersoldier. This probably goes all the way back to Vasquez. Probably why he gets along with Robert Rodriguez so much.

Martians having big eyes wasn’t a manga thing though and it doesn’t really add anything to make that a trait. It was just a movie justification for them wanting to give her big eyes… …and it creeps me out.

It was just a movie justification for them wanting to give her big eyes… Yes, I've read the original manga several times over. But your argument was that there's no reason for her to have big eyes, which was wrong, because they gave a reason in the film. Just making a point is all. I get why people are averse to the visual though. Live-action big anime eyes aren't for everyone, lol. Even I didn't like it initially when I saw the first teaser. It grew on me as I saw more trailers, and eventually ended up loving her design after seeing the film (I saw it 5 times in the theater).
