With all of the sexism surrounding his film Avatar (among many other issues with it—including his own interview stating that, though the creatures weren’t mammals, the heroine “had to have tits”), I’ve begun to question just how much I like James Cameron. I always thought he was pretty visionary, using unique ideas and female heroines…but wait—his ideas really aren’t so unique, and his heroines are sometimes pretty stereotyped. That said, like most people, he has his redeeming qualities. I tried to come up with ten, and then just five, but sadly, I could only think of four. Here they are.
