Director James Cameron explains why he doesn't see the Avatar franchise as a typical superhero story: 'Same adversary through the whole thing.'

James Cameron explains why Avatar isn't a typical superhero story. As a franchise, Avatar centers around Jake Sully , Neytiri , and their family as they navigate the alien world of Pandora while human colonizers try to steal their lands and mine their resources. With Miles Quaritch desperately trying to both destroy the natural environment of Pandora and kill the supposedly treacherous Jake along the way, Jake and Neytiri have to decide when to fight back and when to run for safety.

In an interview with B TV, Cameron explains that Avatar is much more consistent, thanks to featuring one overall villain and plot line. While some superhero movies do retain a villain over two installments, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Avatar will ensure that it features the same antagonist in every single film.
