Since it's harmless fun (And I don't think risks derailing anything), my favorite part of what this movie created is getting James Cameron fascinated by Titanic herself.
The documentaries that were created about his expeditions in the 2000's that he led to the Titanic wrecksite (And regularly dived to himself in submersibles) were fascinating to watch. Ghosts of the Abyss and Last Mysteries of the Titanic are both highly recommended by me if anyone wants to learn more about her (And the state the wreck was in circa 15-20 years ago).
He also led an expedition to Bismarck back then and produced an equally great documentary about the dives to her final resting place, called Expedition: Bismarck. Also well worth a watch, albeit not Titanic related.
Sad to see the shipwreck addiction apparently then loosened its grip on James Cameron, since I'd loved to have seen much more like a thorough expedition to the carrier wrecks off Midway (Of which only the Yorktown had been located and explored back then, with the discovery of the four Japanese wreck locations not happening until just before COVID when the late Paul Allen's team located them).
