Original isn't the be all, Terminator wasn't original, but it was brilliant along with its sequel. Carmeron stated he "ripped off" Ellison, which is why the credits had to acknowledge this. I love Terminator, but the idea was taken from elsewhere doesn't affect that.

I agree. Of course, not many people know about that. Still, no one is knocking Cameron's ability as as a director, or the excellence of Terminator 1&2. Really, I don't know why Soundwave turned this into SW VS Cameron. This is about TLJ failing with much of its audience and falling greatly from safe expectations. 

Star Wars has been failing since the 1990s, all I'm saying is this is nothing new. 

Cameron was brought up just to illustrate how he's kicked Star Wars' ass twice with two larger cultural phenomenons. 

And Avatar is not Cameron's best work, but it's easily on par if not better than The Force Awakens (you want to talk about unoriginal, lol) or The Last Jedi and better than all three prequels. 

Star Wars has been crapping the bed since 1997 when Lucas decided to make a bunch of dumb changes to the original movies, things people still hate today, that went right into The Phantom Menace which is the biggest movie disappointment (relative to the hype it had) probably ever and somehow Attack of the Clones managed to be worse.
