Looking pretty grim for Jake, the human defectors, and the Omaticaya clan.

I like how these movies set out to make humans look super evil and exploitative, but then they just give them a bunch of tech that makes every man who sees it think "Hell yeah."
Omaticaya
They're long gone. It's Metkayina now, and Jake's family is moving on to the new Tlalim clan floating in their blimps
Balloons ripe for being popped by dragon gunship machineguns.
Indeed.
Well yeah, they're not warships. They're nomads who float around the moon
You just know they'll be inexplicably resistant to gunfire while stone tipped arrows still go right through tempered glass canopies. I swear to god if I see that bit done one more time, I'm going to shit on Cameron's lawn.
The movie explicitly showed the na'vi arrows bouncing off the glass to the point Quaritch wasn't afraid inside the gunship cockpit. Only until Jake taught the na'vi to shoot at the right angle downward. Yes, you'd think they'd have armored cockpits by the third movie though. The Ash na'vi will have plenty of human weapons to fight with so it's their turn.
I am hoping we'll see some sort of adaptation to that strategy, make it armored, remote piloted, anything
It would turn into a continuous arms race of adapting to each other. That's how an insurgency works.
The "good" na'vi aren't allowed to use most of the technology. Guns and rocket launchers are about the extent of it. The funny part is they'd get completely smoked by humans just with night vision/thermal equipment and real artillery fired from miles away.
Oh well, we'll see what blue Quaritch gets up to this time
Its like The Creator, Elysium and district 9. They know they have a social message to push but now guys will scoff at it unless they add techslop. They are terribly written movies
Shame, was hoping for more kino airships like the Dragon.
Also
the black smoke stacks
Is it fucking coal-powered?
Total N'avi Death
technological progress is LE BAD
....except for when we embrace technology that actually lets us stand a chance against our technologically advanced enemies
Yes? Imagine getting filtered by avatar movies of all things kek. Their real God says it's forbidden, so it is. And there was no technological enemies for thousands of years, so it was fine.
Artillery? I haven't seen the movie in a long time but wasn't most of the planet covered in unbelievably dense mega flora and also had bizarre magnetic properties? The ghost tree wasn't the only thing they had going for them. It would probably be really really fucking hard to sustain any kind of offensive in that shit. They'd really have to glass the planet.
wasn't most of the planet covered in unbelievably dense mega flora
No, that clan just lived in the jungle. There's plenty of open areas and oceans as shown in the second and third movies.
Their god is an AI
Even if the Navi were completely wrong morally in regards to technology, the argument could be made they still were better off kicking the humans out the way they did. The human presence in the first movie is entirely adversarial and was damaging their environment while depriving them of representation on their own planet. If they accepted technology later, doing so to continue owning their own planet is morally righteous and means they adopted it on their own and not through force or subjugation.
It was a big fucking jungle though wasn't it? Id imagine the humans did try all of that, but they're also midgets compared to literally everything else. I guess it'd be like if you replaced all the American soldiers in Vietnam with people 1/3 the size of a Vietnamese man.
Are the Sullivans just hobos now?
Why don’t the humans drop an expendable space ship doesn’t accelerate and drops on the Omaticaya jungle at full speed?
A Holdo Maneuver? Bro, that's one in a million.
No just don’t decelerate the spaceship. It’s probably the cheapest option too.
I'm told this is one of the biggest franchises ever but I've still only met very few people who even know it exists. The ones who claim to have seen the first or second movie can't recall a single thing that happens in either. That makes this perhaps the most powerful slop ever made.
The humans want to live there, retard.
I guess it depend on how bloodthirsty they really were. Most of the personnel on Pandora in the first movie were corporate faggots and mercs, right? Most humans probably didn't care enough to get so worked up they'd condone outright genocide. Part of an insurgency being successful really is mercy from the imperialists. That, and they might not have wanted to answer for damaging the planet's ecosystem. I recall burning the tree was seen as a really big deal and iirc even the Weyland-Yutani stand in corporation didn't want to commit to it at first.
They ended up nuking the jungles anyway faggot.
They burned all the jungles and it had 0 impact to the entire planet. Should have just dropped a giant spaceship on the tree of souls to kill Jake
The exhaust from an engine isn't technically considered a WMD so it was legal for them to use it.
Accidentally dropping an empty spaceship on the tree of souls isn’t either
I've always maintained that were it not for the gay anti human colonialism sperging, (and taking 10 years to make anything) this franchise could have dethroned star wars.
So much coolness in it, just make the bad guys some third alien faction that the human military and navi team up to fight and it's kino. You could still have the plot of the navi trying to teach the humans to listen to the planet or whatever, just have them be on the same team.
Nobody wants to be invited to a party and then shamed for showing up.
it's posts like this that always keep me coming back to Anon Babble, the one place i can find reassurance that i'm not the only one noticing this kind of stupid shit
trying to insist you know better than James Cameron when it comes to making a hit science fiction blockbuster movie
Unimaginable hubris.
this franchise could have dethroned star wars
Very apt comparison since it's yet another scrappy rebel vs evil empire kind of deal
I think the ash na'vi tribe are intended to be the threat that they have to set aside their differences to fight
I think it's more of a "the military industrial complex and it's subsequent effect on nature BAD"
Not just technology
They aren't supporting the manufacturing by stealing shit from their enemies.
I honestly get the impression that they're gonna be Na'vi but they like the ways of the Sky People. Something something they've mastered the way of fire.
They have turned against Eywa and rejected her. They no longer obey Eywa's laws and embrace human technology
tis called slopulism
great series
Humanaboo Na'vi is a funny idea.
