James Cameron thinks superheroes need to grow up, shoots in water because it actually looks good
, his main characters Jake Sulley and Neytiri are grown-ups, like actual grown-ups, with kids and everything. Cameron made that part of the story because he wants “to do the thing that other people aren’t doing.”
“When I look at these big, spectacular films — I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC — it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college,” Cameron said. “They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.”Worthington got even more specific.
