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!

Although, I imagine the actual Pitch meeting was something like, "I'm James Cameron. I made Titanic. Give me money." And then he got money, because he's James Cameron and he made Titanic.
Super easy barely an inconvenience
The man has made the 2nd and 3rd best grossing films of all time. (And technically they were both 1st at the time of release.) So yeah, the man prints money when he makes a movie.
@@johnmclain250 and then he made Alita: Battle Angel
He also happened to direct, write and produce the movie so this is just him talking to himself
@@rahulvenugopal1798 He didn't actually direct Alita though. That was Robert Rodriguez. James Cameron produced the movie.
I just spent my whole evening watching pitch meetings instead of studying. "Whoopsie"
Neglecting studying for pitch meetings is tight.
Whoops!
It is indeed good procrastination material
I'm supposed to be writing multiple essays right now but here I am!
SurenK7 I hope your exam was actually very easy- barely an inconvenience!
"Pocahontas in space with big blue kitty cats!"
:D
Hello 911 my friend is having a stroke
"Big blue tiddy cats."
Dances with Smurfs
@@senordan810 That works too!
Sums it up.
This video showed me how wierd the pony tail thing actually is.
I would love to see the behind-the-scenes interview where this concept was pitched. I imagine it was a lot like this, except for everyone in the writer's room awkwardly looking around to see if anyone ELSE would stand up to Cameron, lol
The movie Avatar showed me. You have to connect to everything living with your "pony tail"? So it's like Bad Grandpa. He was connected to the vending machine by his "pony tail" too.
Guys you don't see the BIG picture 'We are all connected'
I like to think no one connected the dots. Like first they thought, "How do they control the animals? Use their ponytails."
And then on a completely separate meeting, "How do we show intimacy, there's no genital? Just connect their tails"
And they never thought twice about it
😂😂
Roman Papec Yup and if you don’t want to be connected we will make sure to ram our ponytail into you until we are....
"What's stopping them from coming back with more bombs?"
"The movie's over."
Lmao
Because that’s in the sequel...
or just few nukes from orbit and mine the thing with robots later
@@histkontext they probably don't have permission to cause genocide
@@histkontext radiation?
@@itsgonnabeokay9341 robots
I truly love when the producer guys says "Oh no." or "Oh my god." in genuine horror/concern. It is the best and makes me happy.
And then accepts the concept anyway
I am starting to belive that the producer is just a regular movie fan and is just after some money.
The Producer has gotten freaky a few times....
@@punkwrestle O' wow wow wow wow
Oh, you kind of sound like a psychopath (read it in the producer guy’s voice).
"Over 50 pitch meetings on the channel, kind of a long binge"
The man had no idea how big this would become
311 meetings to count
E
That’s what she said
And remember kids, don't connect ponytail with strangers
DO NOT PLAY PONYTAIL WITH STRANGERS YOU WILL GET PREGNANT AND DIE
and if you play with your ponytail you'll go blind
I ponytailed a wild beast and now i got AIDS
Don’t worry I have surgery to remove my ponytail
My ponytail burns when I brush it. Is that normal?
“Tell, don’t show”
-The script Doctor
More like doctor Script.
Yeah his parents hated him.
Jakub Mike he’s Dr.Writer
His full name is Script P. Writer
The P is for Pitch
I love how you did the “tell, don’t show” joke in both avatar pitch meetings
🔍 🤯
Crossover humor is TIGHT!
You mean also in pitch meeting for avatar the last airbender?
Two different movies...
I guess 12 Angry Men should've shown the court case instead of relying on exposition throughout the movie.
The joke about the budget right behind the 'moral of the story' was BRILLIANT.
"Whoops"... "Whoopsie"! Saying Whoopsie is tight.
Doing whoopsies is tigher... ôo
Yep bearly an inconvience
(yeah i didn't know how tp spell it so i just wrote something close to ir)
Well OK then, if you say so.
Ever since I started watching these videos I say it all the time
Super tight
Binging these Pitch Meeting videos is really easy, barely an inconvenience.
Oh, really?
Actually it's quite difficult, I have to 5-second click through two huge ads or else I'm stuck listening to 10 minutes worth of commercials for a 3 minute video.
Super easy
Binging Pitch Meeting is tight!
😬😄😬😄😬😄😬😄

"Well she shows him how to plug his ponytail into some animals."
"What?"
Was that before she allowed him to plug his pony tail into hers or after? and why doesn't it matter where its been before? I had a computer virus once that corrupted my surfing history with all sorts of strange things like [censored by youtube].
Omg, I can’t wait for the Way of Water Pitch Meeting
Just dropped today. Watching it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
@@mr.joshua6818 Just found this channel and watch both avatar pitch meeting and the thing that bug me the most was the fact that makes no sense that the avatars would not have a tracking device implanted into them or in their equipment since they literally need to be connected wireless with the host.
I think avatar one is the movie I watched the most in my life and never realize that
@@willbordy hadn't realized it either lol
@@willbordy if you want to get really geeky about it, check the avatar Wikipedia, on the extended lore they talk about what the unobtanioum is used for, and one of the uses is quantum entanglement so they can have communications that are faster than the speed of light... so maybe the brain of the avatars and the hosts are using the same Quantum entangled tech so they can operate without lag or reception issues.... the lore has an explanation why the avatar connection is not traceable. Saying that... you bet that in the real world they would have added a tracking device implated under the skin anyway, as they are a billion dollars each to make.
@@mr.joshua6818 Oh, binge watching Pitch Meetings is Tight!
"Spending money on preachy messages is TIGHT!"
yes, gold!
Lol said every Hollywood producer ever
So preachy.
All the movie awards are actually for degree of left-wing preachiness.
"Preach don't act!"
"I think you might have got that backwards."
"whoops"
"whoopsie"
I love that joke every time!
"That sounds like something you should go to jail for!" is my second favorite line from your show.
I want this to be a new recurring meme
Maybe then the directors will take notice...?
And get put in a room
"Nuns are tight!"
Oh you mean a room?
“If that’s really the message you wanna send maybe we could donate that money to a charity-”
“-No I wanna make a movie- Give me money.”
“Fair enough- spending money on preachy messages is TIGHT.”
“Well, there’s more where that came from- if you wanna give me some more money.”
“I like your style.”
Hollywood giving preachy messages on Award nights and in Movies is super easy, barely an inconvenience. Then asking for more money. Call an Ambulance their clearly having a stroke
"A movie is only as good as its villain."
It's true, and I wish more people understood this, especially when the story or genre hinges on the villain.
Avatar's villain: "We're trying to get a rare mineral so our species doesn't basically go extinct."
Audience after growing older and thinking more about it: "Wait..."
@@midgetydeath The protagonist was the real villain all along.
@@midgetydeath wasn't that a company doing that for profit?
@@midgetydeath Yep. Any species will do practically anything to ensure survival.
@@jasperzanovich2504 HE IS NOT JAKE CHOOSE THE EXTINCTION OF HIS SPECIES OVER THE GENOCIDE OF NAVI
AND HUMANS KILLED THEIR MOTHER EARTH
I'm probably gonna regret this, but could you do a Titanic pitch meeting?😁
@Voltaic Fire I've watched almost ALL of these pitch meetings. 😂
well that came outta nowhere
I'm your 111st like.
Crashing into icebergs is TIGHT.
The animated Titanics
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE DON'T HAVE AANG?"
Hi again!
We meet again.
so you're trying to be the new Justin Y.
Dude, yall would like my channel
You gotta try harder than that buddy if you wanna be the second justin Y
Bet the real pitch went something like this......
_"This story doesn't make any sense....."_ -Exec.
_"I'm James Cameron."_ -James Cameron.
_"Good enough. We're in."_ -Exec.
Almost every movie and TV show can be dissected just like this. Plot holes make things interesting.
"Well, if he's in, I'm in"
And being James Cameron is tight....
You might not like the story but it does make sense.
People just love shitting on this movie and i'll never understand why.
@@chastion3689 people keep liking the story of avatar and I'll never understand why
"why dont the humans just come back with more bombs" literely predicted the plot of avatar 2
* Why *
* don't *
* ~ bombs? *
(* literally *)
* Literally *
* avatar 2. *
* Avatar 2. *
"Tell dont show"
"Well i think you mightve gotten that backwards"
"Whoops"
"Whoopsie"
I guess the USS Indianapolis speech in Jaws had it backwards.
A thousand pictures is worth a single word
@@rahulmenon9530 A thousand pictures of crap = crap.
Expository dialogue spoken directly at the camera is tight
its super easy.
barely an inconvenience
That’s probably why so many movies do it.
“What’s to prevent them from just coming back with more bombs?” 👀
The movies over
@@SoraTheKeyToEverything or until you give me more money for a sequel
They do that in the sequel 14 years later
They did come back, it takes 12 years to travel to and back to pandora, the sequel is set 15 years later so they traveled back which took 6 years, then it took them 3 years to advance and gather more of their tech and then 6 to come back
@@shmeepness1700 The real question is whether or not people will watch Avatar 3 in 2037
So we all going to ignore that ponytail beastiality thing
it's okay, they submitted to it *shudders*
It wasnt just beastiality, it was directly rape on camera. A bunch of people hunt down animals and watch as one of their ,members rapes and mind controls another living creature.
I think its more like a USB connector.
@@thegoodlistenerslistenwell2646 so basically what people do to horses when they are broken in?
@@silentlamb21 they insert their sex parts in them...and mind control them?
Send an ambulance anyway I like when the sirens go “WEE-UUOO!”
Wii U
weeyoo weeyoo weeyoo weeyoo... CHOSEN ONE! *snort*
would be fun if it wasnt a serious crime. WOOOPSIE
Oh, that is a fun noise, sir!
And I really felt that didn’t you?
“Plus that will keep the runtime down”
“Actually it’s gonna be about 3 hours long”
“OH MY GOD”
Lmao, that killed me
"What's to prevent them from just coming back with more bombs?"
"That's the neat part, they do"
2:33 The way that he says what?! Gets me every time. 😭
Dances with Smurfs is tight.
I see a south park ref, I like it immediately.
It simple man, I see a South Park ref, I like.
@@joaorenz7784 I thought it was robot chicken
"So basically we're going to manufacture a computer-generated fantasy world where nothing even remotely resemble real nature then name the whole movie about the expensive piece of technology that we invented to film it."
"And what's the message of the movie?"
"That nature is amazing and obsession with technology is evil."
Robert Slaughter "whoops."
"Whoopsie!"
not sure why exactly it doesn't resemble "real nature", but ok
Fair enough
@@VeganCossack Yeah I was curious about this comment too, well everyone has their opinions. I'll just have a hike on mountains floating nearby now.
@@VeganCossack I guess the flying islands? and it also looks more like PS3 game than real nature
Can’t wait for the Avatar 2 Pitch Meeting.
If he doesn’t mention act 3 being straight up the second half of titanic I’ll be sad
@@micahberlin8332 omg, never thought of the connection with titanic and james cameron. it is
“What’s to prevent them from coming back with more bombs?” “The movie’s over.”
Absolutely love this reason! It works!
"What's to prevent them from coming back with more bombs?"
"The movie is over"
My favorite line from any of these sketches.
Ahh this
*Pocahontas but,in space with some big blue* *kitty cats* movie
is TIGHT!!😜
Hold on a minute... (picks up mobile) - "We need an ambulance, I think the guy i'm talk with is have a stroke."
This was very funny, as usual. I was weirdly disappointed that we didn't hear siren noises near the end of the video.
What's preventing them from coming back with more. A.K.A avatar way of water
Screenrant pitch meetings are TIGHT!!!
"Spending money on preachy messages is TIGHT."
There has never been a more "Hollywood" thing uttered in any S.R. Pitch Meeting--ever.
"It's Pochahontas, but in space with some blue kitty cats"
Yep, that pretty mcuh sums up the whoel thing.
Pitch guy: What's to prevent them from coming back with more bombs?
James Cameroon: Actually... Nothing.
"We could donate that money to a good cause"
"No I wanna make a movie, give me money"
Anand G. Is right
A good cause? I thought it was a charity?
This was amazing. Especially “Because the Movie’s over”
“Because the movie’s over”. In other words, the bad guys acknowledged that the movie was running near three hours and were super considerate of our short attention spans.
"And what's to stop them coming back with more bombs?"
"Well the movies over?!"
Lol!!!
I still think this particular Pitch Meeting has some of the best writing of the series. Very clever.
"I can tell you right now I feel gross about it"🤣🤣🤣
I'd love to see a Pitch Meeting for Pitch Meeting! I'm sure it would be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Sugarbeastie and Tight
Wish granted for the 100th episode 😄
It's there
Making pitch meetings for pitch meetings is tight!
Yeah, and now when it’s made, I can say it’s absolutely hilarious
4:39 That really aged well. December 2022 now. Avatar: The Way of Water has been released.
And the Pitch meeting for it just got posted! 😀
I'm gonna make an element you can't even imagine. I'll call it "inconceivium."
I automatically read "inconceivium" with the voice of Vizzini, from The Princess Bride.
James Cameron " write that down write that down "
@@blanketstarry7725 - you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means
@@donoimdono2702 Interesting comment...
2:45 'you have to shove your thing into it's thing' 😂😂😂 I died!
Shoving your thing in someone else's thing is TIGHT!
P. B Amygdala on that note, Pitch Meeting of Big Mouth!
...ideally, yes.
Let's not forget the " Mary Poppins is tight" comment for the Force Awakens pitch meeting.
@@SophiaAphrodite "Mary Poppins is tight" is so wrong & so funny on many levels.
If you're doing it right it's not tight at all, barely an inconvenience
I’m in the minority of people who never liked Avatar so I’m all for this!
Could not agree more. And the second one is worse than the first.
Dances with Wolves is the true inspiration. It's a scene-for-scene copy.
So, Costner literally raped the wolves in that movie?
It's pretty damn close...the prairie/west is pandora...natives are the navi...buffalos are the unobtainium...us army is well, the same...both tame wild animals...only difference is really just the love interest in dances isn't a true native...other than that exact same movie
Danced with Wolves is a copy of A Man Called Horse (1957).
@@newloon Except it's a completely different type of movie. It offers a different experience, different characters, etc.
Just because 2 movies have similar premises, that doesn't mean they are the same. Avatar is more concerned with being an action-adventure, fantasy popcorn flick, that most people can enjoy. While Dances with Wolves is a slow-burning western drama about Native American culture. It's much more concern with characters and the grit of reality back then, than it is at being a fun adventure.
Avatar is also much better directed than Dances with Wolves.
You haven't done PASSENGERS yet, have you? We need that pitch meeting!
He mentioned it in passing
"Spending money on preachy messages is tight." 😂
My favorite line from all the pitch meetings
At this point , I just click "like" before it even starts......
Clicking "like" before the video starts is tight.
I've read that the video is rated higher by RUclips, if the video, or at least some of it, is watched before the like button is hit. Makes sense, slows down the people trying to artificially inflate likes. So, I always wait (and also always hit like).
Just because it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience....🤷🏻♂️💯😂😂😂
RIGHT RIGHT
LOL
"Don't let me catch you ponytailing in there."

M Night Shyalamalongmadingdong’s The Last Airbender Pitch Meeting
"the horror, the horror"
Yes please
Noooo
There is no movie
Now THAT movie was the result of a stroke.
How about a Pitch Meeting for the Hunger Games Franchise??
“Won’t it be difficult to convince people this isn’t a rip off of the cult classic Battle Royale?”
“Actually, super easy, barely an inconvenience!”
They just did that now! You can watch it on Screen rant :)
They did it.
"Great, now the child murdering is for the whole family!"
When you went for the *Blue Girl* of the highest grossing movie of all time,to the *Green Girl* of the highest grossing movie of all time...
*STONKS*
To do...
1) Hire Zoe Saldana
2) Paint her a primary color
3) Make highest grossing movie of all time
@@jdbeier8520 green is a secondary colour tho
So... Zoe Saldana is a person of color?
Very colourful!
When I was in fourth grade, my dad decided to stop at Taco Bell before we were gonna watch Avatar and we ended up being ten minutes late. I just learned about the whole brother part and introduction watching this pitch meeting. Thanks Ryan
0:18 That face you make when your teacher asks you to read for the class but you don't even know which book they're talking about.
Do pitch meetings for canceled movies like the amazing spider man 3 or Batman vs robin 2
That would be really backwards to the whole pitch meeting thing. He takes scene from the movie and offers a "picth meeting" from a retroactive perspective, but half the joke is always that nomatter what both the writer and the producer always go along with basically anything.
Opinionofmine it could work though...they can go forward with all the stupidity and cancel it for something that would actually be good
I’m sure this comment would be much more popular if you had added “You should” at the beginning
There was a batman vs robin?
@@92brunod YEAH! Could jsut cancel it and then at the end pitch guy just says "I mean, we could always reboot Batman to be more darker, gritter and more grounded."
"Hard to believe nobody ever thought of attacking Toruk from above."
I think it was supposed to be because he's from outside of their culture. None of them ever thought of that because the whole idea is to prove you're worthy by besting him in combat, which means approaching head on. Sam Worthington just wants to win, so he sneak attacks the dragon.
he also had a lot less to loose, as he would simply wake up a human.
Actually there’s a easier explanation:
The Aliens are one note creatures that are almost hive mind in nature with how they act, a common and easy trope to make a alien an alien compared to humans.
Watching Avatar pitch meeting 2 days before watching the sequel is tight.
Please do a pitch meeting for Lost! Confusing island timelines are *TIGHT*
"The person I'm talking to is having a stroke" ..!?
I'm SOOOOO going to use this in real LIFE.
(4:49)
Screenwriter >>> Nature is important and if you let money drive your motivation, you are a bad person
Producer >>> What kind of budget are you aiming for?
Screenwriter >>> About a quarter of a billion dollars 🤣 🤣 🤣
While Ryan was coming up with descriptors for this movie he forgot "dances with wolves but CGI."
Shove your thing into it's thing, but's it's gonna fight back, so you really need to shove it in there. That sounds like something you should go to jail for.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
@@jasonwilke4103 i died laughing woke up my room mate lol lol lol
"Well you have to wrestle it down and shove your thing into it's thing, it's gonna fight back so you really need to pin it down and shove your tail in there"
It's that simple, barely an inconvenience.
Best way to save time on watching movies: Just watch a pitch meeting to see if it's really that worth it.
My favorite will always be "whoops" "whoopsie"
I know right!!!
Pitch meeting for jay and silent bob strikes back please :)
Wow. Preachy movies are tight is a pretty incisive criticism of Hollywood. Nice work!
Director: we should donate it"
Screen writer: "no I wanna make a movie give me money"
I'm weak 🤣
4:44 - 5:13 That whole exchange about the message and the budget🤣🤣🤣
Time to plug my ponytail into some animals!
Hey Ryan, could you do a Pitch Meeting for the Netflix show Disenchantment? That would be tight!
LetsPlayGamez if he doesn't say super easy barely an inconvenience as a response I'll be mad.
I don't know why the first time I heard "Super easy, barely and inconvenience", I laughed.
I don't know why I still laugh at it.
But I still laugh every time
Same
3D was 90% of the films appeal and the only reason I thought it was good the first time I saw it. When I re-saw it in 2d I realized it was donkey doo
Missed joke: "it sounds like you're having a stroke." I am, of genius!"
Omg yes!!!
I always compared Avatar to Fern Gully meets Dances with Wolves :)
"Unobtanium" is actually a sort of joke term from engineering about a supposedly perfect element that could do everything the engineer needed it to do. It made its way into sci-fi and has been a fairly common term in the genre since, so having it in Avatar is basically a reference to all this.
I'm so glad I discovered these videos. It's made the pandemic much more tolerable!
At the beginning of this there was an ambulance going by my house,
LOL, "Join the clan" "There's this thing with the ponytail" "You have to pin it down and plug in the ponytail" 😂
2:10
Meanwhile Jake: "You'll never guess where I am."
Im suprised he didnt make the joke about how this is basically I, Robot but with blue people
I swear to god I lost it at 2:52 I even had to pause the vid cause I couldn't stop laughing
3:20 Uhh... ok Uhh... awesome
I simply loved this 😂
Those connect the ponytail with animal scenes will never be the same again for me.
Fans: Pfft I'd love to see you critique avatar. It's probably one of the best films to ever exis-
ScreenRant: Super easy, barely an inconvenience!
@M M Ahhh, so it was only torture for 2 hours? Seems like you should stop torturing yourself sooner.
Back to the Future pitch meeting.
And then his mother hits on him. What? Yes, and then she either is gonna marry his pervy dad or some other guy who is basically Donald Trump, or both, depending on your point of view.
“What’s the mineral called?”
“Eridium.”
That's literally what I was waiting to here hahah
"What's to prevent them from coming back with more bombs" hey I didn't know Ryan saw a cut of Avatar 2 four years ago.
“Whats to stop them from coming back the movie is over” my new favorite line
30 seconds in and i’m already died of laughter!!! 😂😂
