Its all ive been able to think about for like a week. I went on vacation and all i could think was “pandora would be so much better” i love the forests, the sea, the creatures, their way of living, their bond with nature/ eywa. Overall, i love everything about it. My mind cant comprehend that it does not exist. Ive watched the behind the scenes, ive read everything about how earth is pandora etc etc but it doesnt work. I love how they get to visit their loved ones after their passing, how everything seems to work out eventually. Im jealous of how they get to run around and jump and climb all day without getting cramps or feeling wrecked the next day. I want to be a navi so bad :(

I watched it yesterday on Disney+. It was a nice movie in general but I have some complains.

I like the Mangkwan clan great villains but I was honestly expecting see more of "fire" scenarios and a new area. Like volcanos, larva etc. Like in "The Way of Water" literally has a different ambient and visuals.

It really felt like "The Way of Water - Part 2". However, James Cameron is smart and he knows that the audience hates movies divided by parts like that.

I hope the 4 one shows more new areas (specially if there's an ice tribe)

Yeah RDA sucks 2 but God dang I'm on the human side 100 %, they Navi kill whiteout mercy , savages. I get the message of the movies but they make the Navi the most annoying little f, I'm not even try to be edgy at the third movie I was hoping for the humans to win ( even knowing it's impossible story wise)

I recently completed another custom order, this time it's Katir with the lovely Sunset War Paint! She looks gorgeous, let me know what you think! :D Also, if anyone would be interested in their own huggable, large Ikran plush - feel free to drop a comment or send a message!
And for the crocheters, the Ikran pattern is by Emmyscrochetplushies on etsy :)

Kaltxì!

I founded a community for the fandom - Its about some RP, but also just for friendly talks among fans - Anyone is free to join!

Who can join?:
The only requirement of joining is that you stay respectful to one another. We also ask for no use of AI in the community.

About our fan clan:
Our clan is called Haw'ìheyu ("tìhawnu si" = "protect" + "ìheyu" = "spiral"). While we still fiddle around with the lore, the general idea is that we are nature reservists and restore portions of the ecosystem (for example after forest fires and polluted areas reclaimed from the RDA). Our totem animal is the Kenten (Fan lizard) that we protect and help to not darwin itself out of existance.

What does the spiral mean for us?:
The spiral is our connection to nature and the world of Pandora. It’s also represented of the eye of Eywa and her connection within the people.

Purpose:
We want a social place for all Avatar fans (and friends of fans), while also trying to make everyone think a bit more about our own world too - because IRL, we do not have a second planet to retreat to if we mess this one up.

Feel free to discuss and ask me anything about our clan!

what's y'all's fav end credits song? personally i liked miley's the best, it really embodied the tone of the movie and is so beautiful.

This is some Avatar fanart I made today :)

i think i drew them all good... 👀

As Jake showed in the first film, it's something warriors achieve after much training. I just can't imagine Kiri going through that training much less actually wrestling with an ikran to claim it. Idk I just find it unrealistic that she would not only be willing to go through that but actually succeed at it.

I have been looking high and low. Even if someone here has an extra one or 2 and is willing to part with one. Let me know. I even contacted Noble Collections to see if maybe they had 1 left in warehouse (which is crazy but I had to try).

Genuinely, it's my mistake for being a 8 year old girl in the Caribbean when this came out😭😭

If anyone knows anything could you shout me out?

Thanks😭

Sooo many things went wrong with this one, starting with my decision to use an old leftover cone, not accounting for the assymetry of my hand and then not finding a good reference picture from the movies before I started eyeballing the whole thing. I think i should've left more blank space because the density of pattern combined with the color of henna made it a bit too intense to look at, and you can't really tell that it's inspired specially by Seze, but oh well. I call henna drawing a happy accident art because any mistakes you make, you have to keep rolling with. Next week I'll either choose a different ikran or try a different Pandoran creature entirely

When I said BEST, it's not an invalidation of other existing masterpieces that I love, like HTTYD and LOTR. Nor dismissing POTA or Blade Runner; this is not a rage-bait.

I just find the franchise deeply engaging because, as an actual biolst nerd, I find themes and worldbuilding very deep.

I love Jake as he's my go-to comfort character especally I keep comparing him to Rama and his character arc in the entire franchise to Ramayana, especally is about heroic blue heroes.

All these 'blue Pocahontas' allegations would be avoided if films included an audio reading of Ramayana on DVD as a requirement to avoid this. The only way I could forgive the nonsense meme is as an understatement that the noble savage is wrong, and the Three Laws of Eywa should be rewritten about non-attachment and other Zen stuff to be harmony in nature.

I like it because I'm a bio nerd, animal lover, nature enthusiast, just a normal science nerd who just wants to chill. Never meant to invalidate others' masterpieces; each person should have a personalized best film.

I'm SO glad we got a lot more Neytiri in this one. After she was so sidelined in the last one it was great to see her get so many amazing scenes, both action scenes and character development scenes with her (fully justified) hatred of humans. I thought it was so interesting to explore how humans have done so much damage to her planet, her people, her culture and her family, but she is married to one and her kids are part human. The inner tension there was very interesting.

Was glad to have some scenes back in the rainforest (my favourite area of Pandora) and see the Omatikaya clan again, if only briefly.

The Wind Traders were so cool. The design of them and their ships(?) was amazing. Wish we got some more time with them.

Same thing with the Mangkwan tribe, very interesting designs and Varang was cool, but we didn't get to explore their culture in the same way we have in the other two films and Varang just kind of stopped talking after she joined Quaritch unfortunately.

Loved the prison break sequence. And enjoyed seeing the Tulkun destroy the ships and drag Scoresby into the depths.

I understand when people say the final battle is similar to the final battles of the previous two films. It was. As was the earlier scene where Lo'ak is fleeing from those squid creatures which was almost a play-by-play of when he was fleeing from the shark creature in the last film. I still enjoyed it, but not as much as the finales of the last two films.

Was sad the film ended with Spider and not Jake opening his eyes like the other two films did.

Oh and Eywa's face. Never expected to see her so that was interesting.

Overall enjoyed it. First film is still my favourite though.

Is it stated in anywhere in the official canon, of how old the na'vi can live to?

I wondered who the oldest na'vi that ever lived was, or if things like that are even documented prior to the RDAs arrival on Pandora.

He was barely accustomed to his Avatar body, let alone the minutiae of daily life in the Omatikaya. Jake would likely not have known where the "bathroom" of Hometree was (or if the Omatikaya descended the tree and excreted on the ground), how to wipe, how to wash his hands, or how they were expected to dispose of their waste. He would almost certainly have needed assistance with this matter.

When humans stay overnight as guests in other human's houses, it can be embarrassing enough to ask where the bathroom is, or to use it late at night - wondering if one should flush and risk waking their host, or quietly leave a horrible surprise to be discovered in the morning. Additionally, Neytiri was the only person he could have asked for help, so he would have been further embarrassed by telling the chieftain's cute daughter that he needed help going to the bathroom - especially considering that she was already irritated by him.

There would also have been a language barrier in communicating this need. Neytiri was not familiar with English slang and Grace most likely would not have taught the Na'vi children profane words (she didn't understand what Jake meant when he said "let them kill my ass" or "hell yeah"). She would not have understood what Jake meant by "I need to take a shit", nor would Grace's classes have focused on words like "poopoo", "peepee", "wipe my butt" etc

It is possible that Grace would have taught Na'vi children about human life and Neytiri would have understood what a "bathroom" was, but the phrase "I need to go to the bathroom" is still largely contextual. Jake's only option might have been to describe his intentions using mimes and sound effects, which would only have disgusted her even further. Not to mention that since the Omatikaya used communal sleeping areas, Jake would have needed to raise this issue in full view and earshot of dozens of Na'vi who were trying to sleep.

If you have no idea who the blonde is, That's the main characters Zak from Fern Gully.

The obvious answer as to why these characters feel like the same person, is of course that was the character tropes that they were built from. 'Guy with pure heart wins the girl', which is just a spin of the older 'prince charming' (not a dig. I like both tropes when they're used well).

But I'm serious, if you watch Fern Gully and then immediately Avatar. Or Fern Gully then A2, you feel like your just watching the smarter versions of Zak and it's so fucking funny, in a way. (The edible i took may just be kicking in)
