I doubt he said wack but am willing to click a link if one were provided.
Do you divide story from visual narrative? The way and "how" a story is depicted? What's a good example of a groundbreaking story? It's not getting all the superheroes together. Was it when Marvel finally wrangled a decent villain? How about when they decided NOT to repeat the origin of the infinity stones?
It's always interesting to see what exactly grabs the audience, and moreover, what stays with us. I've seen the comparisons again and again, but in DANCES WITH WOLVES, FERNGULLY, and POCAHONTAS -- I never saw a dude riding a dragon soaring across flying mountains with cascading vines and waterfalls. Was there a giant puma and glowing insects in FERNGULLY? What was the battlemech situation in DANCES WITH WOLVES? It's not just the spectacle either -- the storytelling is rocksolid and eyecatching and there is never a point you don't know all you needed to know to lose yourself in the thrillride. ENDGAME is the culmination of 22 films and ten years, plus twenty years and countless issues on the comic book side. AVATAR acquitted itself in less than three hours.
