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!

[@amycowardin4253]

The tail jokes were spot on. I felt so validated and not alone in my sense of ick regarding the tails 😂

[@donoimdono2702]

deep tails are tight!

[@ExInfamous]

I mean the tails in general are not inherently sexual. They provide an emotional link and establish a much deeper bond between the two who are linked. The banshee scene was not at all weird if you compare it to how a wild, or generally rambunctious, horse is broken into submission to the point that it becomes rideable. Its literally the exact same thing except you're able to communicate emotionally and, again, build a substantially deeper bond on mutual trust instead of fear and pain. Of course the Na'vi link when having sex but day to day they likely use it much more as a tool to control their mounts than to have sex. I can definitely see how some people can see it as weird seeing as how they hardly explain it besides showing it off in only like two scenes, one of which was a sex scene. Its something that a casual watcher would kind of have to piece together themselves or look up to understand what they were going for.

[@CGV_CTown23]

Visual Metaphors are Tight (but seriously, it’s both.) Instead of limiting the definition of what sex is, give a thought to broadening your definition of personal connection. The tails add something really important most action movies lack, which is some kind of mature presentation of sex and sexual origin. Alien has its face huggers, Aliens has its queen. Blade Runner has its clones seeking out their father. Great movies do this. And it’s okay at the same time to crack wise about how they go about it, which is what Ryan did so beautifully.

[@WaterShowsProd]

I hadn't seen this particular Pitch Meeting, I've never even seen Avatar, and had no desire to. One of the things I love about your scripts is that you clearly understand story, structure, character, and all of the other things nobody in Hollywood seems to remember anymore, and the commentary section of this revisit shows that even more. In a way these are valuable educational tools as well as good entertainment. I direct a lot of dubbing and one direction I'm often giving the actors is: don't make this expository dialogue sound expository.

[@ClaudeLv250]

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.

Your pitch meetings make me laugh! I have watched most of them, esp for movies that I've seen. I keep coming back because of the template/rhythm of them - there's always the point where the guy asks a question and the other guy says, "Nope, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience!" I laugh every time. So much of movies these days has a template, like where the producer will brush off the issue of "why does this character do that" and always won't care because there is money to be made. I especially like it when the Pitch Guy says, You need to get all the way off my back about that!" And the producer does because there's money to be made. "Because it makes the movie go!" is a typical answer. OMG, you do so many great things in these pitch meetings, and point out so many hilarious ways that movies get made "just because someone wanted it that way." :D

Hearing about the thought process behind the pitch meetings is facilitating! Your comedy is gold especially without having to rely on potty humor for cheap laughs. Your videos are timeless and have all aged like fine wine. I hope you find the balance between working and keeping your sanity. We are rooting for you and are happy to support such a talented artist.

[@aguynamednathan]

Hearing about the process is tight!

[@jaredyoung5353]

You have saved thousands of hours and hundreds of dollars with Pitch meeting. Your doing Gods work!

[@Combaticus]

*Billions of dollars

[@lilknox2225]

Fr i barely even watch movies now

[@pinecactus9672]

Very true, i see the pitch meeting and then decide if I should bother watching the movie.

[@theamericanbrotherofmightg3734]

If Ryan George keep up like that maybe he will be able to buy Canada.

[@miriamweller812]

Don't give them ideas. The industry loves to sell money they did not make for whatever reason as "damage" to them.

[@Ballington3000]

You talked about getting more comfortable with the characters and being a guy who learned about this series more recently and binged so much, it is neat to see that growth. What sticks out is how bold and over the top these characters have become which somehow makes them more believable and fun. I can't imagine that was an easy idea to settle in to. How did you find that sweet spot of popping the lines off sharper and harder (SUPER easy, BARELY an inconvenience!) which are so over the top yet comedically so perfect? I love your videos and love the that you're revisiting them!

[@nyam3y3]

Pitch Meetings actually age very well, when you think of it

[@OfNoImport]

This man must be protected at all costs he is a priceless treasure.

[@crashboredom2]

Take all the time you need. We can be patient, burn out is real. Thanks for all the work you have put in, and I'm so glad pitch meetings has its own channel now!

[@lealasmith7491]

This was awesome to see. I got to see my favorite actor Ryan talk about the two most iconic characters he's ever played, Ryan and Ryan.

[@the_artrobot]

This was great. I would love more of these with honest insight on the challenges of storytelling, beyond easy targets for jokes.

[@Well_Earned_Siesta]

The amount of time you spent on the Na’vi hair bond with animals was the perfect length! Spending so much time on it really makes the audience have to come to terms with how messed up it actually is. The edgy tinge of discomfort that you let stew is what makes it one of the funniest parts of the whole skit.

[@8Tarkus8]

Agreed. And yeah. Grosssss

[@soma78]

But hey, hair bonding with animals is tight. Wait no

[@Psycho-Ssnake]

[@8Tarkus8]

@@soma78 hair bonding with animals must be really hard

[@chaosfire321]

Ehh, I think people overthink the hair thing. It lets you link minds, full stop. Using it on animals is about as gross/nonconsensual as cattle wrangling. The Navi have normal sex, they just use the hair to read each others minds during it.

[@reno395]

Ryan George don't apologize for taking a break for your mental health, everyone needs it (especially for people like you that had to do videos weekly for such a long time) we will gladly be waiting for your videos, no matter how long they will take because they are always entertaining and mental health should always come first, so proud of you for doing it.

[@gentblue]

Mental health is so lazy. The saga of life is that we are born, got nuts and then die. This worked well for all of our ancestors, what made us so special? Stress feels tight!

[@jw8160]

👍 x 1,000,000,000 for Riccardo's comment

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

@@gentblue Not sure if you're being sarcastic or earnest, but pacing ourselves allows for a more fulfilling, longer life. Stress eventually catches up with us and has an impact on our physical health.

[@gentblue]

@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou Pacing our lives? That sounds difficult.

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

@@gentblue It's actually very simple, hardly a nuisance.

[@NeuroD369]

The lovemaking scene scenario was my favorite part.

[@vstimpyperlipou4089]

Thanks for all the years of hard work. Please take care of yourself. Love this format, just like life , sometimes you need to revisit moments.

[@ivoarmstrong9894]

A trippier experience has never been had, than when Ryan talks directly to you as himself.

[@anneofnarnia]

Dude, I have watched so many Pitch Meetings that I have become painfully aware of plot devices lol! I recently watched Into the Spiderverse for the first time and during the scene where Miles' dad is giving him a pep talk and Miles uses his powers successfully I IMMEDIATELY said "super easy, barely an inconvenience" 😂

[@rvkpt]

These and The Drinker are my go-to channels to find out whether something is watchable or not.

[@anneofnarnia]

@@rvkpt Same here! I'll watch these for pretty much any movie I'm not sure about! (As long as I'm not especially looking forward to said movie of course! 🙂)

[@FortheSakeoftheComments]

@@rvkpt Same. And Little Platoon.

[@BirdmanTwente]

I actually love your candor in the early pitch meetings.

[@possesses.]

I genuinely have been watching every video as it comes out and forgot to subscribe until you told me, it really does work LOL

[@JVprovip]

It's good to hear that he's aware of his own mental health and the need to take a break. I always come back to his pitch meeting videos without waiting for a new one. I just hope his viewers would come back to him when he's back.

[@jimbobjones9330]

I think he needs it. It was pretty easy to see he was getting burnt out, as he started using some of the same "bits" in his last few videos (most notably the "yeah... shuddup!" thing, not the catch-phrases, but just funny little bits). Him getting a bit of rest will get him refreshed.

[@kei.13]

It's a lot better now that they're on the dedicated Pitch Meeting channel. Subscribing to this channel is great, but subscribing to Screen Rant meant 5 videos I didn't care about in my feed every single day so I'd just come back to check for new Pitch Meetings instead.

[@reezwave]

Please do this more often Ryan, I love your interaction to us, it's so surreal cus we often see you just doing sketch lol

[@NoNo-or2wj]

Uh. Parasocial much, guys?

[@roywarnerfilms]

In addition, I'd like to see a pitch meeting for this Pitch Meetings Re-Visited series

[@redKheld]

Twice a month sounds like a much more manageable timeline. I would rather have 1 or 2 quality videos a month rather than a quick one every week. People don't account that you still have to study the movies you're using (unless you're just entirely basing this on memory) and gather the clips/resources and then come up with the script. Even without the filming it's a lot of time out of your week. Making your deadline a whole month should be a good balance for your life. Plus I don't think this is the kind of content that viewers will abandon should you decide to take a month off at some point. But I still enjoy them and hope you can carry your passion for many years to come. You do good work.

[@MDelorean]

Ooh behind the scenes, I just hit the subscribe button again, even though I was already subscribed. Thanks for the reminder! Keep up the great work. I like everything you do do.

[@evergreen8600]

To put to rest any doubt, to me, all Pitch Meetings are some of the most entertaining videos on YT. I’ve watched every single one even without watching the movie the pitch meeting was about and I will gladly re-watch all of the revisited ones too

[@loki_808]

Love this concept, finally Screenwriter guy gave us a solid good idea with no sarcastic downfalls

[@joemcwhorter4770]

Ryan you are amazing and we love you as well as producer guy and writer guy. All 3 of you deserve a lil time to yourselves.

[@trancedoutkid]

Ok but I'd literally watch hours of bts for Pitch Meetings, especially in this format. Super stoked for this to continue.

[@WYD28]

These are literally great. I rewatch pitch meetings all the time and now you're here to give commentary or just stare directly at us with your cat and legs. A+ content would watch again

[@VinayakaHalemane]

Yes absolutely do more of this. You have a recognizable body of work now and enough people are mentally and emotionally invested in your characters that you can rehash that same work and make more money with a quarter of the effort. Hollywood is truly rubbing off on you Ryan. I love it.

[@dylancardinal7]

Hey bro me and my wife want to let you know that we love your content there has been so many times where needed a laugh and to feel comfortable thank you for everything keep going

[@gravitron12]

Hey man, you are awesome. Your over one million subs in just a year; clearly your objectively talented. (Even though your not new to KZbin it is still impressive) Please keep it up!
