Avatar Pitch Meeting - Revisited!

Step back into the pitch meeting and revisit the completely factual accurate conversation hat led to James Cameron's Avatar! Complete with commentary from Ryan George who is now several years older!

James Cameron’s Avatar took the world by storm in 2009, securing its spot as one of the highest grossing movies of all time. Isn’t it kind of weird then that it barely seems to have had any impact on pop culture? To find out why that is, let’s step inside the pitch meeting that led to the world of Pandora, the Na’vi, and a whooooole lot of thinly veiled racial stereotypes. What led to the decision to have giant blue kitty kats? Why don’t the multimillion dollar Avatars have ANY tracking capabilities? What’s up with the super generic villain? All these questions and more are answering in this pitch meeting! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

Ryan is getting really good at his CGI skill I thought his legs looked particularly good

[dayoolaleye]

Dude we’ve stuck with you through the years because of your originality and actual funny material. Take all the time you need. We’ll be here

[justinpickens]

This feels like a behind the scenes for pitch meeting and I love it

[FlatSpinMan]

That old Avatar Pitch Meeting was a classic. Genuinely made me laugh out loud several times. I didn’t think the ponytail gag ran on too long at all.

I love this concept. One of the things that makes Pitch Meeting so entertaining is your insight into filmmaking, so sharing some of your insights into your own work is actually quite interesting.

I rewatch pitch meeting videos all the time so rewatching them with Ryan is a bonus

[thatllwork_official]

This was phenomenal, please do more of this.

[LawofCinema]

Ryan’s real personality is also very entertaining! I like this idea, and would like to hear more reflections like these

[noway]

I just imagine that 2 years from now we'll be getting an "Avatar Pitch Meeting - Revisited - Revisited!" where you revisit the revisit and show us how much better you've gotten at drawing cats

[HelloIAmAnExist]

This was actually as good as a normal pitch meeting in my opinion. Please do do more of these if it's super easy and barely an inconvenience for you. This is tight.

[rwithers]

Don't ever apologize for or regret these masterpieces. These are my favorite things to watch on YouTube, thank you!

[AdamG]

Can we please give this man some respect? 5 years of weekly Pitch Meetings.

The man is legend.

[adamdavis]

I actually did not notice that your uploads are not as frequent

It's just always a joy whenever you put out something on either of your channels

Take whatever time you need man, this stuff takes work. Your writing is brilliant

[CGV_CTown]

Dude- the tail joke was BRILLIANCE - you put a light on something millions of people just took at face value. It was hilarious and also deep af!

[jmuscat]

It's like DVD commentary for pitch meetings. Love it, please keep going. Also, this has always been one of my favorite episodes. The opening "having a stroke" bit is a classic, and you did a great job of hitting all the right things this film deserves to be roasted for.

[TheMan-Man]

I love how he kept Screenwriter Guy being a cgi character consistent when he did the 400th Pitch Meeting

[ClaudeLv]

I really like that you did this video because it's easy for someone to dismiss Pitch Meetings as "oh, he's just nitpicking/roasting movies, " but that little bit on exposition makes it pretty clear that you very much understand narrative and screenwriting, and that's why Pitch Meetings work so well.

[maryconnealy]

I have to say, as a writer myself, I've been amazed at how long you've been able to keep it up. On the other hand, pitch meeting is the highlight of my week. Which may say more about my life than anything else. Good luck with your mental health.

[OTBFilms]

Honestly enjoyed this, not only are you making it that we don’t have to go between the pitch meeting channel and screen rant channel to see all your stuff, you’re adding onto it and that makes it a lot better in my eyes

[wshaffer]

This is sort of like a pitch meeting where you're pitching your older pitch meetings to your audience. I like it.
