Ah, James Cameron. The legendary director known for spectacles like Aliens, Titanic and the Terminator. He's also done many a documentary, and of course everyone's favorite tech demo movie Avatar. In more ways than one he's contributed to the film industry like no other director has.
Nowadays, however, he's known for talking smack in the industry. He talks about how 'Wonder Woman' wasn't anything new, and how people will soon get tired of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and want new stories. He whines about how what was accomplished in Wonder Woman was also done back in the sixties, and how Marvel movies are glorified two-hour fight scenes. He even goes as far as to say that Wonder Woman objectified women rather than being a feminist triumph. This coming from the director who got Kate Winslet nude for his fabricated Waterworld In Real Life film, and has had female protagonists in his films before. Hypocrite much? (Still better than George Lucas and Star Wars, though. Barely.)
Those remarks, like George Lucas before him, demonstrate how big of an ego James really has. It's especially seen on his attack on the Avengers, which comes after 'Black Panther' sunk his Titanic in the box office records. This is also coming from the man who wants to make four more Avatar films and trying to revive the Terminator again; the former being another short lived revival for 3D movies, and the latter after coming from two trash films. He even compares his Avatar films to another Godfather story, that the Avatar films are the next family drama. As ambitious that is, there's only one true Godfather film.
Speaking of ambition, James Cameron promised us an entire universe dedicated to Avatar. What do we have, now? A theme park at a Disney resort, and a mediocre-at-best video game. That's it. Sure, Avatar is the #1 movie of all time, but where's the success? No fanfics, no cosplay, nothing. Whatever you were planning before, Marvel and Disney beat you to the punch. Now you're trying to get back at them with your Twitter rants and being the center of all the attention. No congratulations, no 'keep up the good work', not even being grateful for Disney and Marvel making the idea of shared universes popular and possible.
James Cameron also demonstrates the possibilities when someone more successful comes down the road. Either you're considering the new kid on the block a worthy opponent, or you're jealous and fearful of this new competition. James Cameron demonstrates the latter. He complains about a Marvel movie because it came and took a precious record from him. All that hard work and troubled production that he went through in the nineties was now for naught. He knows this, and he doesn't like that one bit.
Because of all of this, I don't want James Cameron to be successful in his eleventy seven Avatar films and his second Terminator revival. In fact, I want him to fail in his latest films because of how unworthy he is of success. Anyone with no respect for any form of competition whatsoever is not deserving of goodwill. James Cameron has arrogance that would make even the Star Wars fan base blush. The fact that he has been this disregarding of his colleagues displeases me greatly. Not even George Lucas is this bad, and his ego was bigger than Atlas on top of being a control freak.
One more thing: poor sportsmanship has its consequences. Jimmy boy, you want to talk the way you do? You better back it up.
