Sure, it seems fun to prance around as a young, fit, fuckbait cat-person on the planet of Avatar, living in touch with nature and sticking your tail into tree vaginas so that you can sit in a circle and cry about how beautiful it is to sleep on dirt floors and suck on sea urchins or whatever, but the moment you: get old; break a leg; ingest any number of five zillion intestinal parasites; get sepsis from rolling around in shit after being wounded by that giant space tiger you had to fight off while you were sleep-deprived and trying to get your tree-fungus-sick cat-toddler to shit into river for the 5th time that blisteringly hot and humid night; etc., you'll rapidly discover that, in fact, having an actually functional civilization is pretty amazing, and surpasses even your wildest prayers to tree-god as you knelt on beads and watched a parent dying from a tooth infection at age 40.But yes, white colonial man bad. White man come from space. White man want kill noble savage and he no respect nature. These are the sorts of delusions we tolerate in our art up because we take for granted that we're sitting in air conditioned theaters, hopped up on vitamin supplements, SSRIs, and ADHD meds, with our bodies protected by manufactured clothing and our asses cleaned by antiseptic wet wipes invented by a lineage of scientists who have collectively amassed actual, testable ideas of how the universe works. We can dig our hands into buckets of popcorn while being assured that the miracle of soap cleaned our neatly trimmed fingernails well enough to not ingest some hideous bacteria that'll eat away the lining of our throat and make us die of thirst at age 27, as a shit-smeared shaman rocks on his ankles and chants "oohwa oohwa" while waving burning leaves over our dying body.

>>215063749How the fuck do you watch a movie about alien blue people and STILL think of Jews?
>>215063800Because the movie is so boring and shallow that theorizing about a tree subverting the tribe of cat people is literally one of the only two interesting things to think about, the other being the myth of the noble savage and our culture's obsession with seeing people in bestial nature as living more purely or more freely.
>>215063867>theorizing about a tree subverting the tribeHow is the tree subverting them? If you want to theorise then present a theory>the myth of the noble savage But the Na'vi aren't savages
>>215063957Canonically it's an intelligent organism with a neural network in its roots, that when the Na'vi connect to it they get immense physical and spiritual pleasure, feelings of revelation, interconnectedness, etc. It has some health benefits, possibly, and it's basically a psychoactive drug, but it makes use of the Na'vi to protect its life: conditioning and convincing them to die for it. They even start a hopeless war and die in numbers to make sure the tree isn't destroyed. And, worse than that, the tree conditioned them to not make peace with the magical space aliens that actually DO have knowledge and truth from the universe, but to hate them and fight them, and reject their gifts. Given the disparity in what each organism receives, it's a parasitic rather than symbiotic relationship.>But the Na'vi aren't savagesYou disagree with my OP? Because that's the reality we live in, and I don't see why the world of Pandora should be any different, as it appears to be a similar ecological system with life, death, evolution, sexual selection, and presumably infection, disease, and injury. Obviously their way of life mandates extreme physical fitness, otherwise you're a burden on others. Since they have no agricultural, surplus, or abundance, if there are ever hard times for any reason, they'd die of disease and starvation easily.
>>215064053>but it makes use of the Na'vi to protect its life: conditioning and convincing them to die for it.Jake has to ask Eywa to help even after decades of destruction and damage the humans caused and only after the RDA destroyed their hometree.>>215064053>And, worse than that, the tree conditioned them to not make peace They lived in peace before a corporation decided to bulldoze their holy places and burned down their home.>but to hate them and fight them, and reject their gifts See above. What gifts did the RDA bring the Na'vi? What would they want fro mthe humans?>it's a parasitic rather than symbiotic relationshipThey benefited far more from eywa helping them than eywa did by leaving them alone.>Since they have no agricultural, surplus, or abundance, if there are ever hard times for any reason, they'd die of disease and starvation easily..They obviously have an organised society and abundance dude
>>215062879Maybe we could like, find a balance between being tree-huggers and globohomo. But no, that's too much nuance for Avatar haters to comprehend.
Pooping In the forest and not having soap is more than enought. used to be scout
>>215064705Its baffling how on one side you have a society that lives in harmony with their environment, mate for life and have physical proof that their god is real and on the other you have a souless money-grubbing corporation whose one and only goal is to bulldoze a literal paradise to make a profit.And people still root for the RDA, but I suspect most RDA fans are 40k HFY faggots with tiny penises
>>215065227Exactly, the treatment from the movie is bad and childish.
>>215062879Didn't read. I just want to plap her
>shitting into a riverTell me you're way too attached to your "civilization" without uttering a word
