And I get it, Avatar isn't everybody's cup of tea, but let's not talk like his career has turned into some sort of shame. If he dies with 5 of these things on his IMDB list, I'm not sure his reputation will be all that tarnished.

Problem is after the first one, the franchise wasn't anything special, considering how visual fx in general caught up and in ways surpassed it since 2009.
Which is what set it apart initially, because the writing and acting was nothing to write home about.
Meanwhile he could have been making more truly special and memorable projects unique to their own, instead of wringing more out of a universe people were already familiar and a little bored with.
There isn't enough distinguishing these sequels either looking at the trailers for this next one. I bet that in 10 years people will look back and have a hard time remembering which was which.
But personally speaking, I'm just tired of looking at slender blue people with fangs hissing at each other. It weirds me out.
Please do something else, Jim.
