Not to mention I shall someday make my dinosaur-infused Dexter's Lab reboot someday--and partially in response to even those who criticized James Cameron’s AVATAR for its clichéd story, plot and characters, but...
Dexter’s Odyssey might not always and actually be my multi-part atonement to James Cameron’s derivative space opera that showed the world what 3-D might actually do (but didn’t, post-Avatar), but rather, among other things, mainly my spirited defense of James Cameron’s right to have made AVATAR in the first place.
In fact, both epic motion picture film production projects—technically arduous, though they might be—might as well be cut from the same cloth--in terms of visuals and even ambitions, of course.
I have seen James Cameron's AVATAR and I like the visuals, but I think it is the fact that the main character was an American soldier, and the fact that he assimilates into the culture that is native to a strange new place, that made people scream it copied Dances with Wolves, Fern Gully or even Pocahontas.
That is partially why my dream project--a multi-part big screen live action/animated dinosaur-infused epic blockbuster film series of a Dexter's Laboratory reboot, "Dexter's Odyssey"--would be even bigger, even more complex, and even more ambitious an epic motion picture film production project than James Cameron's AVATAR--and much, much better than that film.
