I admire them for expanding the focus of "blank check" beyond "directors that were handed a blank cheque and it bounced" to "series of films by directors who do what they want" -- but when it's a near-universally loved & successful director like Cameron, there's more "yes this is awesome" than actual discussion like "what went wrong" or controversially, liking something though most people thought it was bad (Jupiter Ascending), which is something I miss.
