Say what you will about James Cameron.
There’s no “but” coming at the end of that sentence. Just say what you will. The man is apparently bulletproof. You can point out that his first “Avatar” film is a tired collection of outdated and offensive colonialist nonsense, thinly disguised by (then-) state-of-the-art visual effects, and he’d probably just sit there fanning himself with his million-dollar bills (which he probably has).
So perhaps the funniest thing about “Avatar: The Way of Water” is that his new film doesn’t double down on the flaws of the original and instead makes some attempt to address them. Jake Sully (voiced and motion-captured by Sam Worthington) may be a leader, but in some respects he’s a bigger screw-up than ever, making lots of mistakes that, this time, he can’t fix. “The Way of Water” is not about Jake Sully’s journey...
