I searched for a thread like this, but couldn't find it, so I created this one.
Inspired by the thread about an Aliens Easter Egg that reminds of Avatar as started by ahoragi (https://tree-of-souls.net/threads/aliens-easter-egg-for-avatar.6212/), I would be interested in any references or homages that you noticed in the Way of Water or what you think about any of these which are posted in this thread. I would like to make it visual (a screenshot from TWOW and one from the other medium)
I have a whole series in mind where pretty much all previous Cameron movies are referenced to, but I shall start with one from a non-Cameron movie, namely Alien 3.
When I saw the shots of Polyphemus eclipsing Alpha Centauri A in TWOW, it kind of gave me an ominous vibe and I think every time it was shown something bad or intense was about to happen. And I felt like I had seen it before. Then later I realized a comparable shot in the movie Alien 3 used to give me that same ominous vibe.
In Avatar the Way of Water, Polyphemus eclipsing Alpha Centauri A:
In Alien 3, Fiorina Fury 161 eclipsing its star:
Of course, other than having at one time hosted a character played by Sigourney Weaver, Pandora and Fiorina 161 pretty much have nothing in common, with Fiorina 161 potentially being the filthiest and bleakest planet ever to have been committed to celluloid.
Maybe the reference wasn't intentional, but that isn't the point of the thread. I would be interested to see what references you found in the Way of Water.
