Does Avatar 3 Deserve the Hype — or Has James Cameron Lost the Plot?

On this episode of Movie Joust!, we take on Avatar : Fire and Ash— James Cameron’s latest swing at epic blockbuster filmmaking — and ask the uncomfortable question: does this franchise still earn the awe it demands, or is the spectacle finally outpacing the substance?

We break down our sharply divided reactions, from the film’s overwhelming visual ambition to its emotional sincerity, narrative sprawl, and cultural relevance. Is Cameron still pushing the medium forward, or are audiences being asked to mistake scale for depth?

As always, we debate the hype, challenge the consensus, and figure out who this movie is actually for — die-hard fans, casual viewers, or no one at all.
