Film director James Cameron’s epic science fiction film Avatar premiered in 2009, and a number of critics praised the film’s Visual Effects. Avatar‘s Sequel Avatar: The Way of Water is set to make a splash on the big screen in December 2022.

However, VFX artists accused James Cameron of exploitation after repeatedly reworking the Avatar movie without paying them.

Despite this, James Cameron won an Oscar for this movie. In addition, Cameron was also honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Visual Effects Society (VES) in February 2010.

Nick Sinnott said on Twitter, “A fun thing about working on the VFX for Avatar was that we weren’t unionized, and (James) Cameron exploited that with endless unpaid revisions.”

However, he deleted the tweet soon after to avoid backlash.

There is no denying that Marvel has received a lot of flak because of the poor quality of the visuals in the last couple of movies they have released. According to some reports, the CGI department of the Marvel Comics Universe has been a nightmare.
