James Cameron

That's not what the movie was supposed to be saying.

And so the power, the dark, grim power that comes from when Korra charms the ash people and you see them lift those weapons up and you say, oh, my God, this whole thing's going wrong.

I can't have Jake be doing the same thing.

But somehow I didn't see that in the writing.

But I saw it as it was unveiling itself to me.

And I called everybody back in.

I said, guys, you've got to come back.

And the beauty of performance capture is you can recreate the set almost instantly in like an hour.

So we just were able to go back into it.

And I did something else instead, which is I had Jake go get the toruk, which was also not in the script.

That's one of the most epic moments of the whole.

Exactly.

Well, I had put that in movie four, but I realized I was playing too long a game.

You know, the scene with him and Spider, which I won't go into the details of.

But after that...

You know, when Neytitty says, then we will find another way, that's the only way he's got left, is to do the thing that he dreads the most.

Yes, yes.

That he absolutely knows will take something out of his soul, but he has to do it.

That's the only other way.

And so, you know, sacrifice is a theme that I deal with a lot.
