It genuinely pushed for a lot of technical achievements. Knowledge/skills that will be able to improve future films. Sure, the Avatar films may not be good films on their own. But they are being used to develop technologies which will make for better films from other people who actually want to make good films.

eh. I think cameron’s masturbating.
he’s just pushing stuff around and making nifty bits and bobs, but there’s none of the genius that was present in terminator, aliens, the abyss, etc., it does advance the tech but in no way meaningfully and the vast majority of the big advancements are too expensive for smaller creators to leverage.

T2 was just the start, beginning with the morph CGI.

which started with abyss’s water tentacle creature. literally a series of morph targets
