>Nolan is a mid placeholder because no younger director is Cameron's heir

This is something that dismays me.
Cameron is one of the best directors and writers of her time, beyond her box office success.It's amazing that no one has tried to be like him.
I think this has to do with the fact that his filmography is small and each film is different from the other. Titanic is different from True Lies or Terminator. Even Terminator,It seems like a very different movie from Aliens despite sharing elements like science fiction, horror, and action.And aliens is a separate thing within the xenomorph franchise, so impossible to replicate in the sequels.
