澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron has, historically, not had many kind w�💖�ords to say about superhero movies. However, in a recent interview, he admitted that the increased output of Marvel and other comic book movies since the release of the first Avatar movie in 2009 has helped raise the bar with VFX – but Thanos still doesn't measure up to the ꦉNa'vi.

"Obviously the big comic book films have been driving the sheer volume of the industry… t🐠he rising tide of technique raises everybody together," Cameron told (via ). "It gives you higher quality artists, more tools and plug-ins and𓄧 code [to use]. You’ve got more talented people writing code out there."

Thanos, the big bad of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Infinity War and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame played by Josh Brolin, and the Na'vi, the race of blue-skinned aliens in Avatar who live on the planet of Pandora, are both created using motion capture technology. Cameron thinks his c𒊎reations are superior, though.

He continued: "Our team♔ at WETA Digital is constantly having new hires, and it’s coming out of that pool. So it improves everything. That said, WETA Effects, as it’s called now, is the best. Right? Industrial Light & Magic does great work, but when it comes to the kind of emotive facial stuff that we’re doing… Thanos? Come on. Give me a break. You saw [Avatar: The Way of Water]. It’s not even close. It’s what WETA did."

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited sequel to Avatar, arrives on the big screen on December 16. While we wait, check out our guide to the rest of the most exciting upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.
