Ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water, director James Cameron responds to Ryan Gosling starrer SNL skit that mocked the movies logo font

Ahead of the $400M &#8216;Avatar 2&#8217;s Release, James Cameron Revisits 2017’s Hilarious SNL Sketch Featuring Ryan Gosling and the Papyrus

It has been five years since Ryan Gosling mocked Avatar on SNL. The movie is
undoubtedly one of the biggest hits of all time, making billions in profit and
changing the way we see animations and aspects of creativity. But Gosling’s SNL
skit proved that even massive projects like these are susceptible to mockery.



The actor appeared in the late-night comedy skit show years ago, wherein he is
shown to be highly disturbed by the fact that such a big movie used Papyrus as
the font for the movie’s logo Avatar. They added to the mockery by writing the
word Papyrus in Comic sans font. Years later, Avatar director James Cameron
responded to that video ahead of the movie’s sequel

HOW JAMES CAMERON RESPONDED TO THE SNL SKIT WHERE RYAN GOSLING CRITICIZED AVATAR

James Cameron has taken his stand on the Papyrus font that turned into meme
content, no thanks to The Noteboo

actor. Cameron said
[https://www.ecartelera.com/noticias/james-cameron-responde-ryan-gosling-uso-fuente-papyrus-logo-71398/],
“Of course, it was mercilessly criticized as a lazy choice, but frankly, I like
the font.” He said that choosing fonts was the marketing team’s choice, and it
was selected after consideration instead of laziness, as shown in Gosling’s SNL
skit. He also sarcastically replied about how the movie would have raised money
if it was not for the font and took friendly jabs at Gosling for the criticism
too.



“Ryan Gosling needs to get out more, instead of freaking out over our source.
It’s time to move out of your mom’s basement, Ryan!” said the Canadian
filmmaker. He also added that if Papyrus resonates with indigenous culture in
the public view, then he is “not going to lose sleep over it.”

The Papyrus typeface was created by Chris Costello. He defended the font,
although it is considered one of the worse fonts and became a subject of
mockery. Avatar’s sequel seems to have given itself a font uplift, but it still
looks a lot similar to the original. The movie is set to release on December 16
of this year.
