Stop liking evil women.
>>216782816An evil woman is at least being honest and upfront about one thing about themselves.
>>216782816>Cuteness aggression
>>216782789Just had this image in mind for a new bread. She's a sexy skinny girl, mad, bad, and dangerous to know.I liked the bit where she twirled her S-knives to hypnotize/hold the attention of her minions. They almost, but never exactly, formed a swastika, more like a figure-8. The white-black-red paint coding is also clear nazi flag stuff.Tuk was useful! She helped Kiri to cross the Finish Line!
>Avatar 4 in 2029>Avatar 5 in 2031I'll be 36 when this franchise ends. Damn
>>216782898I'm 33 now anon, I saw the first fucking Avatar 15 years ago. I'll be in my 40s when the franchise ends. I've seen all three of these in theaters.
You think the children will have children of their own? Will Kiri resent Lo'ak?
Since those who shall not be named think Earth is already deadarino in /currentyear/, why did Cameron set the Avatar universe in the far future? Was he retarded? Talk about not realistic.
How about a burger, Anon?
>>216782879Sullies stick together!
>>216782931>a Varang with cheese!
>>216782916Two important and logical things happened this time: the children asserted themselves to overturn tradition in order to adapt to the new (human) threat, and likewise the Tulkun muscle has been made to understand that pacifism is untenable. The rehash alliance stuff also serves a larger story purpose, setting up the grand, master conflict, however that plays out.
In A4/A5 the RDA needs to bring in some Van Pelt architype. He's obsessed with Jake because "he's the ultimate hunt. His head will be the centerpiece of my trophey room." He only uses a bolt action chambered in something like 416 rigby. Dude gets mocked for it but no-scopes a bunch of hostile navi the first time he goes out.
>>216782789I saw it twice in 24hrs, one of those times on acid AMA
>>216783007What was your impression of the central Quaritch/Varang scene?
>>216782916imagine the abomination
>>216782994None zero chance but he would need to be WHITE and RICH.
When will humanity throw everything they have at the Na'vi? I want to see them using atomic bombs already
>>216782978>4 never shows the sea ever again >organic compound that ends telomere degradation turns out was cheaper to synthesize and lamp oil market collapsed between movies >aewa killed half the whales anyway now that there isn't adequate selection pressure, they blame violating their peaceful ways and Jake is banned for the water tribe 5ever >movies do something interesting instead
>>216783040Kiri No! That's your little brother who has lived with you as long as you can remember! Stop trying to sex the nonkey boy!
>>216783035You mean when she gives him the powder? Thought it was fun and the way papa Q acted while high was pretty spot on.
>>216782789mmmph!
I got to find out that over three hours of HFR 3D makes me physically sick. Fun!
>Post Avatar Depression
>NOOOOOOOO you will NOT use the wheel!!! What the hell is her problem?
do the humans finally get any meaningful win? These movies can't all just be the same thing over and over again, right?
>>216783160>it's a face... no a baby... it's something I swear that's a tree
>>216783040Eywa, uh, finds a way
>>216783126I See You, Tsmukan. Please take care of yourself, talk to loved ones, and when you are ready, we will fly again.
>>216783206Neytiri destroys the human city with a bow.
>>216782916>8 year time jumptukbros....
I don't get it...Why did she call Quaritch Colonel Goat CheeseIs this like some kind of obscure insult?
>>216783206>space islwanda (again) >naavi victory praise aewa! (70% casualty rate of 2nd great jake sully waaaarg) 8 year timejump to human settled continent with state mandated evil cat girlfriends in... 2029?
Why do all the Navi have dreadlocks?
>>216783126As the only femanon to ever experience Post Avatar Depression, I see you.
>>216783302They braid it that way.
>>216783160The third act actually shows why metal is banned (and in retrospect, it explains the victory in the original film): metal gets sucked into magical (magnetic) vortices (Jake's gun and I think some weapon of Quaritch's), entire vessels get sucked up into same, guidance systems don't work, etc.The vague notion of magnetism, electromagnetic force etc which gives rise to the the various arch structures, floating mountains etc also conveniently messes up human aircraft whenever necessary. Eywa Provides.A lesser theme this time is atheism versus belief. Jake (stupidly, he should know better!) loses his own faith, but the whole reason why Jake won in the first movie was because he prayed/communicated to Eywa, setting up the first Deus Ex Machina. Varang is a villain because she is an atheist and rejects Eywa.
>>216783206Humanity have basically been winning since the end of the first movie.In 2 they return and instantly achieve what they were attempting in the first movie, building a much bigger settlement than they ever had the first time, and beat down the Navi resistance so hard the fight is abandoned and Jake has to run away and give up being Toruk Makto. Their loss in the movie is a whaling operation getting dunked, otherwise everything continues on as-is.In 3 the status quo is almost identical, the difference is the combined might of the Navi united under Toruk Makto and the whales dropping their pacifism lose the fight against a bigger whaling operation than the previous one, until Eywa goes murder mode against them wiping the fleet out, including a bunch of the human military leadership this time who were present for some reason. The human city gets torn up a bit when they break Jake out but it's otherwise also still standing.
>>216783264Cochise
>>216783264Having Carmella in this makes it seem like the whole thing is one of Tony’s hallucinations after food poisoning.
>>216783264slur for na'vi

>>216783264>peacetime military officer seethes about uniform standards
>>216782809Why does the Navi have five toes?
Just saw it. Lots of good ideas but didn’t feel as clean cut as the last movie which I really enjoyed. Definitely dragged and felt sloppy in a few places. The surprise standout for me was the thread between Jake, Naytiri, and Spider. Speaking of which Spider is obviously a device for Cameron to connect Jake and Quarich. There were a few moments that almost felt like Rick and Negan. A lot of people are disappointed Quaritch didn’t get settled in this one but he’s like the Reverse Flash and Cameron is right not to waste a good villain, the only good villain at that. I’m also surprised at how one dimensional the fire lady was. I expected her to be the ultimate villain of the movie but she was a side piece through and through and was handled pretty easily.
>at least two hours of I MUST FIND JAKE SULLY WHERE IS JAKE SULLY>he's in exactly the same place he was the entire previous movie
>>216783472There's a reason why Spyder is sleeping with grandma Kiri.There's symbolism here, but I'm lacking the mental faculty to explore it.Human Spyder and Literal Avatar of Eywa.
>>216783472she exists to make Quaritch give a shit about naavi, just not in the way Jake's just submit to the fungus bro entreats want. >May be used in the next 12 planned movies or won't>>216783487>he's gonna get the planet pregnant >la atrocidad de pandoriconas starchild baby First human born on pandora (formerly 'with no father" in comicslop) and there is no father.luca child of aewa. New eden, adam and eve shit being laid on a bit thick
Any news of an extended cut? Despite being 3 1/4 hours it felt like so many details and character arcs were cut short
>>216783472What's kind of baffling is that writing on the macro level is mostly lousy and she's a glorified henchmen, but there's also a bunch of really solid subtle details with Varang that stand out as really neat.
>>216782916>Was living in my aunt's house and working a crappy factory job when I saw Avatar 2>Own my own house and partnered at a medical supplies business when I saw Avatar 3I wonder who I'll be when I see Avatar 4
>>216783040what the fuckaren't they family?
I personally think that Avatar loses some plausibility points for insisting that Earth is about to run out of resources and humanity will die outI understand the intention. I 100% do. The idea is to call attention to humanity's modern ecological issues and encourage further action on that rather than just hoping there will be a better answer somewhere out there in the universe.But with the technology we see humanity possess in Avatar 2 and 3 it seems hard to believe that Earth could be running out of basically anything. None of our ecological issues are related to resource scarcity, we're past peak oil and energy keeps getting cheaper and cheaper and would fall off a cliff if we had fusion like they do in these movies. I think the narrative would be stronger if humans were there for pure greed and nothing else. It's happened before in our history and we don't need to justify it.
>>216783842Its fine, If anime taught me anything its that it's okay if they're not blood related. And they're not even the same species.
is there any na'vi c_nny in this one?
>>216783842How is it incest? They're family
>>216783889>cameron invented the lolibaba James cameron doesn't do what james cameron does for James cameron, James cameron does what james cameron does because james cameron is james cameron
>>216783879It’s mixed signals. Cameron catches himself between Pandora being Earth’s replacement and Pandora being a private farm for exotic materials. The term shareholders comes up a lot.
>>216783996I don't blame. Giving up his human life means no more entertainment media. Any nerd would have conflicting feelings about leaving his hobbies even if the reward is xeno pussy
>>216783996Based Norm
>>216783842I mean, they're both adopted. Not super cool though.
>>216783879Colonization of pandora isn't going to be for the average billions on earth, its going to be for the Elite and a select few of the elite scientist, soldiers and engineers necessary to grow it. with only 12 starships each with only a capacity of about 300 passengers they're never going to get everyone off of earth. The earth is ruined and most people will just waste away on it while the people responsible for ruining earth will move on to pandora. You think the people who blow up homes for resources, and kill sentient creatures to prolong their own lives will have any loyalty to a land that has outlived its usefulness?
Aren't Jake's kids technically his brother's kids since he took his bro's Avatar?
>>216784137Sure, I'm sure eywa did some nasty shit to him.
>>216784137they were identical twins. its why he could take his brothers avatar in the first place.
>>216783879If I remember how it works, it's not that Earth is running out of resources or on the verge of death, it's just a shithole with it's natural environment destroyed. A theoretical habitable Pandora is just a paradise in comparison, but you can already see from the RDA that it's just in their nature to ruin, the one city/stronghold they have established is already basically a metallic nightmare
>>216783879Narrative fluff honestly. I don't think he thought too hard about Earth. Humanity being the big bad is a means to an end. The end being a escapism story on an alien world. And I do agree on the greed part. Colonization and exploitation alone should be enough of a reason.
>>216784184I think it's one of those things where it's just a hyper centralized society, so earth is probably paradise to those rich people in closed communities where the rest of the population is living in slums that don't get natural sunlight and they're starting to riot so corpos are trying to sell them a dream both as an opportunity to make even more money and a way to stabilize their emotions like "look, a new home! right around the corner!"
>>216783889Yes, you wont be disappointed, especially at the end.
I wasnt expecting Quaritch to get mind raped...
>>216782789While I hope Avatar 4 and 5 happens.. and I have no doubt that this movie will make good bank. I have to say that it was not a worthy sequel to avatar 2. Avatar 3 deserved to be a better movie and not a fucking remake of the past one.For example Neteyam's funeral had just taken place and piece of shit spyder is joking with kiri.. LoÁk is still getting btfo by everyone, even in combat. To the poing of considering suicide... wasnt he supposed to be the new lead? considering that he was the one narrating? Quaritch got into navy pussy super fast without any fucking development. It's like Jim wanted a bunch of things to just happen while redoing the same movie. This dude is a great director but he seriously should read some fucking shounen manga like yugioh, dragon ball or something. Spyder is the worst fucking character. Also vaarang was supposed to be the center stage but she is just le ebil crazy new pussy and thats it..
>>216783802This has always been the issue with Avatar. Incredibly imagined world and characters where someone has clearly pored over every detail, with a shitty paint-by-numbers script smeared on top. It doesn’t make any sense, how did James Cameron spent a decade getting every tiny bit of the concept and execution perfect except for, you know, what happens in the movie?
>>216782978Please no more climatic battles.
>>216784184Factories in space caused pollutants to rain down on earth destroying the ecosystem. Which makes no sense, but that's what happened. All of the major unrest followed.
Big oof at the box office.
>>216784349Do you enjoy being humiliated?
>>216784238They handled it well >had deeb goncern they'd fuck up his character and hers >Cameron didn't The little mental struggle snuggle and what she assumedly saw smooths over how quick they shacked up. Otherwise I'd consider it rushed and more than a bit forced. Narratively equal footing of him pulling her hair and capturing her, her pulling her mind kancho trick, him being able to withstand it, her knowing he's a skyman after (and assumedly a lot more), then it's all just flirting and foreplay on their next meeting. All the writing talent went into the 5 minutes of Quaritch-Varaang interactions and it makes the 3 hour movie.
>>216782789OP now understands hernan cortez and la malinche
>>216784372I enjoy laughing at Avatards and Cameronsissies.OH SHOOPIDOOAVATAR 3 IS IN DEEP DOO-DOO-DOOOSHOOPIDOOPIDOOPA
>>216784400I really like how mirrored his story was to Jake'sI think Cameron really fucked up by splitting the movie in two, he should've committed to Quaritch being Jake's mirror but more importantly letting Avatar 2 be Quaritch's movie instead of Jake and Co's wacky adventure.
>>216782916>8 year time jumpkiri walled by then, rip
>>216784433Sigourney ain't getting any younger, Anon.I think it might actually fit her better letting her natural voice out.
>>216784285Agree with the rest but Quaritch getting into Navii pussy without hesitation is completely realistic. If anything the rest of the humans not going native immediately is what doesn’t make any sense. They’re 16 years away from Earth and are completely self sufficient. There is no inducement Earth could provide that would outweigh fucking off and living easy on the green paradise you already plan to spend the rest of your life at. And add to that if you cooperate with the natives they make it so you can breath the air and ride dragons?In real life withing 6 months the human colonists would blow the suit guy’s brains out, park a couple of the nuke ships in orbit to kill any reinforcements, and declare independence.
>>216784418go back to your capeshit threads, jeet
>>216783090>sibling incest and xeno fucking Cameron is based as fuck
>>216784462I mean, even beyond all of the mental stuff.They're literally Na'vi, recoms whatever, but like Navi biology, if you think Na'vi wouldn't want to fuck Na'vi I don't know what to say.
>>216784285It seems painfully obvious (since Cameron has admitted it) that this is a handful of concepts that couldn't fit into Way of Water, given the barest bones of a script to just get them on screen rather than being a fully formed story of it's own It's like those shitty Part 1/Part 2 movies, except instead of something being spread overly thin it just retraces it's own footsteps a second time.
>>216782809so navi are built for big human cock?
>>216784462>netieri in ash tribe slutwear hisses >heh, she wants me Cameron I kneel Your problem is the thing keeping you from blue women as an RDA goon is aewa
>>216784462well then why is quaritch even serving RDA if that is the case? I was expecting him to go full Ikari Kun on this movie, turn on against the humans to the point that sully needs to intervene or something like that. Also I think spyder its gonna become a fucking tree in the next movie.>>216784488That was very lazy and stupid to do. I wouldnt had minded to wait one more year for an actual good script rather than spare bones. It was so shitty to retrace everything and also Jim is obssesed with daughters and that piece of shit spyder. Man... I cant believe Neteyam was done dirty like this.Well at least there was a the lost world reference in the movie.
>>216784418>>216784349Here we go again :)
>>216784700they never learn
>>216784700Tens of millions disappointed by TWOW won't watch this one.
>>216784688I mean if this was an actual sequel to TWOW and not a collection of offcuts like the other anon said he definitely would have. Quaritch basically spends the entire movie treading water character-wise and it’s fairly obviously cause he needs to be right at the edge of the face turn he’ll do 8 years from now.Even still theres moments like the near-mutiny at the command center where you get the sense that the rank and file are no longer fully loyal to the Earth-linked chain of command.
>>21678434975% international is absolutely magical if it holds, a reasonable $500m domestic would mean $2b ww
>>216784700This is deceitful, since the box office is nowhere near 500 million yet, it didn't even hit 400 million. You LOST
>>216784832How is it going to make 500 million domestic with an 88 million opening WEEKEND, not opening day, opening WEEKEND, that's Friday, Saturday AND Sunday all together.Nobody cares about this franchise anymore. Sorry, but this is as far Avatar goes.
>>216784820the thing is, what is the point of doing it now that the human army has been destroyed? Jim missed big time some cool feeling buttons and interesting scenrios for this movie.Also Vaarng's and the wind clan introduction was null or pointless. There was no immersion and vaarang was just a glorified henchman. That was very disspaointed specially how she is marketed.And the whole OMG neytiri is watching over ronala's daughter now... gimmie a break. She has her father. Also cant jake's clan now go home? and I mean real Omatikaya home.
>>216784859See you at 2 billion
I really want to watch Avatar 1 and 2 in 3d on my VR headset but you can't just buy a digital 3d version. And I don't want to buy a blueray drive for my PC either. I thought we were supposed to be in the future.
>>216784875I still have my 3d tv from 2012... the tech from that age was the apex of humanity. Now everything sux
>>216784875>VR masterrace can't into torrenting >inb4 something something locked down hardware cucking you there is a reason why VR hasn't taken off
>>216783842Step siblings lol
>>216784184I'd honestly like to see that play out, but in most of the vehicles there's just children, like 5 years old, 8 years old, and then see how the Na'vi react.
>>216784832Okay, say Avatar has it's traditional strong legs, only has 20% week by week drops.That would mean it *might* scratch it's way to 300 domestic and 850 ish international over the holiday period. That's still a billy breaker, but not by much!
do they say "the fire rises"
Apparently only James Cameron is allowed to show masculinity and not have it be undercut or made fun of, it's weird.It's an actual film, it's got his own version of propaganda, but it's different from the current zeitgeist.
>>216784956Varang screams "I AM THE FIRE!" near the start, it was kino.
>>2167849353.4x legs would be a disappointment for any holiday movie, and for a James Cameron movie with good reception it would basically require an act of God. Realistically we’re heading for a final gross somewhere in the 1.5-1.7B range. Low enough that the haters will call it a disappointment, high enough that the fans will defend it, and just enough to greenlight 4 and 5x
>>216784875>but you can't just buyBuy?
>>216784870>movie starts with the 6 year delayed relief force armed for bear showing up for total smurf death >met on landing pad by scarred up Quarick and a megabase that's 40% local auxiliaries and 5 fingered ayy teenagers
>>216785015Half sbs?lmao'ing at your life
>>216783107kek when they muffled her in this movie I was thinking tukgaganon would enjoy it
>>216785015>12gb
>1st person shot of Kiri dragging you towards the ancestorsI see you James Cameron
>>216785015The Helly and Gemma Parody are both Goated.
>>216783334gay and cringe.nuke the tree.
>>216785096I liked that they made them the same size in the spirit realm. Tuk was still smaller, so I guess they sized up Spider instead of shrinking Kiri.
>>216784137Tommy is coming back. They need the we are the same trope
>>216784137What if they did an autopilot recon of old jake tasked on doing what quarritch couldnt? only the best can take on the best anyways.
>>216785015But I want them to make 4 and 5.
>pink skinned skyniggers
When they were talking about the ancestors stuffAll I could think about was>what are you on about, we humans are savages>if we got in touch with our ancestral spirit, we'd raze down Pandora
>>216785395Yeah humans are spiteful desu, if we completely lost on Pandora I can see someone like Quaritch coming and just nuking the whole planet from orbit.
>>216785376Unless this one accelerates it's money making drastically I don't see a fifth movie being even remotely possibleThe only thing working in 4's favor is sunk costs since they've actually shot some of it.
>>216785395All the time she's talking about the bow and rejecting guns and ancestors and I'm like "girl, this IS our ancestral spirit, this is our lineage, the guns and metals didn't come out of the ether."
>>216784676Kek he did give me Lockjaw vibes this movie
I wonder if this movie will see an uptake in buugeng flowarts.I can do poi easily enough, but hand shit like dragon staffs and buugeng was always outside my skil range.
if you thought Neytiri's skydemon hate was extreme just wait until you see adult Tuk!
If a 7 foot blue woman gave me love and affection I would kill billions for her.
If James Cameron was serious about this, he'd revolutionize the industry and make 4K MFC home releases. Bluray with their 50GB limit isn't enough, nobody wants to switch discs anymore.
>>216782789iswydt
>>216785482This dumb look-at-me bitch isn’t very good at whatever it’s trying to do here lol
why dont i see any threads arguing about its box office performance like i do with other movies
>>216785744the marketing department didn't select that checkbox in the list of options when paying for the viral marketing campaign (unlike with the other movies)
c-cute
>>216785799Maybe I will play that game.
>>216785744I dunno, no paying attention? Happens all the time.
>>216785720Pretty sure way of the water 4k was on 100gb blu ray
>>216785819Which means for full SBS, they need to double that, or like 1.5 that.
>>216785799dude's getting spat in the face
>>216785669based Tuk
>>216783117I thought that hfr was neat last time but I hated the stuttering that the switching back and forth caused. Was it like that this time too?
>>216785869I didn't get to see 2 in HFR, but that still definitely happens in this one
The 3D was really comfortable in this one for me, besides the still kind of dark projection which I might blame on my theater.The only thing that bothered me was the fact that the niggas besides me didn't know how to pick seats and didn't leave space so I had to elbow for space against them and their girlfriend, which in turn put me in a bad posture and made my back hurt like hell by the 2 hr mark.
>>216785869I didn't notice any stuttering in the transitions between 24fps and hfr segments. This utilization of hfr is by far the best I've seen in movies so far.
>>216782789> Fire pussy salute edition
Lyle really did skip out on the final battle. What was he up to?
>>216785955delete this
>>216785963Nigga was grieving all his friends are dead and his CO has gone native over Na'vi PUSSY.
Obviously the army guys lost because Cameron is a hippy faggot, but what's their position now?
>>216785869I just saw it, it was good. I think they were afraid to use HFR in the 2nd movie since it hadn't been proven to work with audiences, so there were a few scenes where it should've been used, but wasn't, which led to a few scenes of hard flickering (the fire on the ship at night around the end of the 2nd movie specifically). They seem to be much more liberal with it now that 2 made money, so there was no flickering in 3 at all. The only HFR scenes that looked weird in 3 were the ones with Spider, I'm guessing because they can't control the smoothing as well with the real footage like they can with the rendered stuff.
>>216786003There are no army in Avatar, never has been, RDA is a corporation.
>>216785821>:3
I know jake is a pussy, but MAN, his brother has an INSANE build, because you see his fucking Avatar, they beefed him the FUCK up in 3.
>>216785983he needs to get with the program and get some ash na'vi friends as well. He can give them beer and play xbox with them
>>216785949out theatre had specific glasses for the IMAX version with higher transmission % polarizing film on them, wonder if that makes any difference
> trying to get my life back on track after a bad breakup> trying to find a good, sweet, kind girl> see this movie> now want psycho bitch who plies me with drugs and slaps me
>>216786021so when they call him Colonel, is it like the KFC one and not the military one?
>>216785821cute cat
>>216785955she... ate monkeyboy?
I was surprised how believably racist they made neytiri, a lot of the movie felt like a cartoon for kids but that stuff was way more believable and complex than I expected
>>216786115I'm pretty sure most of the grunts are mercenaries. So that might be his old rank.
bit of a shame that Varang ate 0 hearts in the movie
>>216786137Y'know Jake really loves her when he doesn't call her out on fucking hiding spyder's breather.
>>216786115i think it's private military
>>216786115If I remember right, he and his personal crew were former US Marines so they all carry on the military structure and calling themselves by their old ranks
>>216786137Same, it was refreshing to see someone outright hate someone else in a movie for once. Real characters.
>>216786150that's libel. You can't prove she hid it. Besides Spider is insane for not keeping 5 reserve batteries on his person at all time
>>216786021OK what is Corporate Corporal Quaritch and his private military company's position, faggot nigger?
>>216786181
>>216786184None, PMCs don't have ranks.
>>216786184>positionsecurity
>>216782931Is that the one that was kept in it's original box for 20 years and didn't rot?
>>216786003>General Menopause went down with the ship >Quaritch if not dead (as if) likely highest ranking man left in theater >Ash tribe easily painted as reason anyone routed managed to live >goth gf got away after bit of mind rape >90% of the assembled naavi dead before Aewa came back from getting cigarettes it's a pretty thorough it's so over (we're so back) situation that can be painted as dire for man or crippling to the naavi as Cameron wants in his time jump.
>>216786205Quaritch is confirmed alive in the game's after credits
>>216786150I don't think the scene is meant to imply she hid it, tho I can see someone reading it that way, but rather show her distance to spider by showing her just standing there while everyone else is frantically searching
>>216786150I loved that sequence. The smug look on Neytiri's face the entire time the family was scrambling to find it was hilarious. I agree with that other anon regarding the depiction of racism. Despite some hokey dialogue it nicely set up the Abraham and Isaac development where Neytiri came around when Jake was seriously considering putting Spider down. It was a damn sight better than any depiction of racism in a movie I think I've ever seen.
>Gets poked with a spear>"I'll remember you">A few seconds later>"Drop him"Why am I supposed to root against Kinoritch again?

>>216786309I was shocked that they kept him turning face and teaming with sully for a later movie, I expected him to help sully break from prison but I guess you gotta save something for later
>>216786346I 100% think that's the fault of one movie getting split into two
>>216786346I think the point and all this get in touch with your ancestor talk is to show that he and Jake are ultimately the same kind of people but different.Jake went Feral and to protect, but Quaritch went Feral to destroy, they both "let out the beast" so to speak.
https://youtu.be/56ft-JHQ8bA?t=3272"I see you" but sinisterly
>>216782789Halloween 2026, so many slutty Varang costumes
>>216786381I think you're right, doesn't make a ton of sense to not do it by movie 3 otherwise. I would not be shocked at all if in 4 or 5 we get a scene of a redeemed quaritch connecting to eywa to talk to his dead wife or something and also him dying by taking a bullet to protect one of the sully kids
>>216786346him letting Jake escape would be incredibly out of character. He was 100% on board with Jake getting shot (or Varang eating his heart)
So..... what did we think of her?
>>216786186I won't stand Neyphobic slander
>>216786346I don't think he's ever going to be buddy buddy with Jake, I do think however, that he is going to come to hate the RDA in his own ways and break off.I really hope they don't kill Varang.I think Varang might also go on her little journey too after getting mind fucked by the literal Avatar of Eywa.
>>216786475A cunt of a MIL energy
>>216786504>Colonel goat cheese
>>216786504>I apologize for my mate, she's exhausted
>>216786455>>216786488yea, I'm not saying hell do a complete 180 and be a goody two shoes but they are clearly setting up him turning on the RDA and embracing eywa. it was kinda subtle in 2 but very obvious in 3
>>216786516Nah, he was getting right in her face, sticking up for his gf
>>216786504Varang was so vulnerable in this scene, makes me want to protect her.You can tell she's like caught out of her element.
>>216786087>now want psycho bitch who plies me with drugs and slaps meNo you wouldn't want that, anon.
>>216786525>but they are clearly setting up him turning on the RDA and embracing eywaturning on the RDA yes, embracing Eywa no. Embracing his GF Varang (literally) yes.
Currently rewatching Avatar 1, I gotta say, I've really come to love this movie.I used to not think much of it, just impressive visually, but it's really enjoyable.
>>216786549Cupcake is smart, but has no choice but to trust Quaritch to handle this situation here, because she doesn't speak English and has no idea what he and General Cunt are saying. But being as perceptive as she is she can guess that they're talking about her and her tribe
>>216786504I did like in this sequence how when he brings her into the city Varang's demeanor completely changes, like it shows she doesn't just have overpowered retard confidence, she completely knows she's completely in a position of weakness, it takes Quarich reasserting superiority here to perk her back up
>>216786559I'm not that sure on the eywa stuff admittedly but I think there's a more than 50% likelihood of him having some sorta scene where he connects with her
>>216785799bangs on a navi are hot
>>216786600>like it shows she doesn't just have overpowered retard confidenceShe's a sharp girl and has high perception skill. She was also the only one to connect the dots between Quaritch giving an order to the sniper to drop one of her people with the tool that "makes thunder", and she also deducted that they communicated via some weird band Quaritch has around his neck.
>>216786596>>216786600she's also a self made cult leader and knows how to act vulnerable to her advantage (like when Quaritch has her at gunpoint or when Neytiri holds a knife to her throat).She's very good at manipulating people and pretending to be a lot surer than she actually is. I mean she's right in the middle of a completely alien city with unknown technology
>>216786678her character was all around very well tuned that it felt like a believable, dangerous badass but never like some woke girlboss, its genuinely impressive stuff
>>216786678>>216786678Messed up the pic order, here's the correct one
>>216786704The most impressive part of Avatar 3 was Cameron dropping a "well that was awkward" without it feeling out of place.Genuinely impressive.
>>216786652There's nothing in there for him other than to tell eywa in person he's going to kill it.
>>216782789Top 10 cringiest things ever done in a theatre.
>>216782789Did Varang HAVE to move so sensually in every scene she's in?
>>216786704>badass but never like some woke girlbossI didn't even think of her as a "badass female character", just a very, very sexy and highly competent leader of her people. Which means she was done right>Cameron dropping a "well that was awkward" without it feeling out of place.It's the delivery of the line, it's completely serious, sincere and without a hint of being snarky quip meant as a "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" to the audience.
>>216786797yes. Non-stop aurafarming
>>216783264She was hankering for some goat cheese with tripe
>>216786797>>"You just tie a really tight rope around your chest and then, where does your center of gravity goes? And then it just drops into the pelvis. And that's where she moves from"You can blame Oona for thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5C31Azmv10
>>216786812lol remember the shot of jake and neytiri walking in slomo towards the camera with their army behind em
>>216786797Yes, as a leader and sorceress she needs to be charismatic and otherwordly
>>216783446Eywa's plan
Are Human Recoms like "better" than normal Navi?Besides the 5 finger thing, are they like also smarter?
>>216784490Naavi are growers, not showers. A giant dick would be too easy for Pandora's aggressive fauna to grab onto
>>216786859no.
>>216784285>Quaritch got into navy pussy super fast without any fucking developmentPretty accurate to real life COs. Ever met a military man who married some goblina he met in the philippines?
>>216786859A recom would be a hybrid of navi and marines dna.Why would you think it would make a navi smarter?
>>216786895Humans got bigger brains than Navi.
>>216786859Avatars and Recoms are human-na'vi hybrids, they have five digits and generally are built stockier than true Na'vi who tend to be lanklets. And Quaritch also lift weights, so he's huge compared to an average Na'vi
>>216786717>quaritch says drop em>varrangs loincloth hits the floorwould've been even more kino desu
her expression while looking directly at Lyle in this scene right before entering the hut was hilarious
>>216787012Lyle's whole situation is so hilarious.
>>216787029He made me laugh with his constant "Wtf is happening to you, Quaritch?" mode in this movie.
>>216786900...they're marines
>>216787073If marines needed brains the corps would issue them onehooah
>>216787059>If only you knew how bad things really are...
why does the RDA only employ USMC veterans anyway? You'd think they would go for ex-special forces that specialize in fighting insurgents and recruiting and training local allies
>>216787140Probably to save costs. If you never worked a corpo job, you'd be surprised how cheap those motherfuckers can be
>>216787161Plus Pandora is like frontier, a very very dangerous place for humans.In the first movie Jake talks about marines getting trash pay, so in reality only a grunt would accept these conditions for pay, no way anyone with more money would willingly come to Pandora.
deja blu
>>216787232thanks to whatever anon scanned in that page from the artbook back when twow came out.
enter sex
>>216787096He had to stand outside the tent and wait until they were done. He could probably hear them the whole time too.
>>216787096>mfw quaritch is getting pegged by his goth gf (cameron said in an interview that quaritch “submits” to varang)
>>216787330>mfw
>>216787377>Witnessed
>>216787377I wonder if involving a suicide bomber in a kids' movie is going to bite them in the ass when kids start imitating this guy
how many billies are we at?
>>216787096>>216787330Jimbo has always included subtle female dominant themes in his movies. Maybe his old age is making him realise it’s his last chance to feature overt femdom on a mega budget. Maybe avatar 5 will end with all the female Naavi invading earth and enslaving all the men and sticking their hair tendrils up their asses wouldn’t that be crazy haha
>>2167873930.3 billies
>>216787409Hey that's pretty good
>>216787377the raid in the air was a kino set piece and honestly should probably have been the climax instead of having that "just" be a bigger version of 2s climax
>>216787406>Disney princess going on a hateful, racist rant>Teenage suicide attempt>Parental neglect>Almost murder of an adopted child>Soft Dominatrix relationship>Human-intellifence whale genocideYeah, such a "kids movie" we have here, kek
>>216787489Don't forget>parental resentment of mixed blood children
>>216787489It's for LITTLE KIDS. SWISS FAMILY PANDORA.
you wouldn't catcall or call Neytiri a cat, right?
>>216787377I witness you
wtf was this shot
french pypo really liked this movie when you consider there’s like 60 million french and 80 million germans
>>216782789This series would be far more entertaining if they brought Jake's brother back to fight him. Of course Cameron being Cameron it'd have some gay subliminal messaging about climate change or whaling
>>216783889Crush ended with Kiri, now fire mommy is best girl
>>216787442>>216787556>>216787498In all seriousness, I love Zoe, she has a great grasp on Neytiri and where she's coming from. She doesn't go on a woke sermon, doesn't lecture, she simply understands her character. It's refreshing to see actual adults making a mainsteram, high-budget movie for oncehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AglYTAUbBio&lc=UgwSofj9WdNA8n3Sf1N4AaABAg
>>216787581a lot of the creature and vehicle designs seemed very anime inspired
>>216787581Neytiri's new ikran is a very good girl
>>216783264She said cooties. Referring to his Na'vi gf.
>>216787584>91MBut you said 88M???
>>216787581An injured ethnonationalist on her flying mount, backlit by a gas giant?
>Tuk covers her ears just before Varang shoots her rifleCute!
>>216787596>xenos invade your planet and spend years creating tensions>bring in Colonel Douchebag to go scorched earth on you>burn your deity tree>drive you from your village>kill your son"She racist and that's heckorino bad chud"
>>216787752>CTABКИ HA CПOOOOPT, 1XBET
>>216787628>>216787678yeah I didnt know they were space faring
>>216787767Have you not seen any of these movies? Polyphemus is the planet Pandora orbits, they get daily eclipses from it covering their sun
>>216787785>asking /tv/irgins if they've actually seen the thing they're criticizing
>>216785799>>216785826haha sure wouldn't want that, hope i don't accidentally open my mouth right at that time, would be so gross haha
>>216787785only seen the other 2 once. Are the navi on polyphemus or on the other moon? I thought they were all only on pandora and only humans were able to travel between space>>216787798not criticising just asking a question
All right who do we cast as the big boss of the RDA?
>>216787832>I was actually just pretending to be retarded XDWhat a complete waste of time you people are
>>216787832The Navi are only on Pandora, which is a moon of Polyphemus.
>>216787832Pandora is a moon anon
>>216787833Ed Harris for his big James Cameron reunion.
>>216787832Polyphemus is a gas giant like Jupiter. Pandora is a moon that orbits this gas giant like Ganymede.
>>216787844>>216787849>>216787852>>216787861ok can the ikran fly through space?
Spider will become the final Toruk Makto.
>>216787914nah will be spider and kiri's kid. Eywa wills it
>>216787926Your goddess has no dominion here.
goddam pinkskins
>>216788095they might call Neytiri a racist, na'vi supremacist, luddite, human-phobic but they never call her a liar
>>216782789Fire and ass
>>216782809Lol brainlets
>>216787489>noooo kids can only watch retard cartoonsAvatar is perfectly fine for kids
>>216783879Yeah, just being able to power those ships right propulsion beams implies such absolute command of the resources of the solar system that it would be easy to terraform Mars or even Venus
>>216783093I kept expecting it to be cringe hippie spiritual shit, but it handled the drugs pretty well
>>216785395I'm calling it now, Avatar 3 will have spider getting abducted and his tail reverse engineered, all humans will get a tail and they will try to access the ancestor tree but instead of Eiwa they'll fins a different god of fire and destruction (humanity's god).
why are they puting some of the camrips through ai slop upscaling lmao. looks spoopy
>>216787489Sunday child psychologist is in da house
>>216787298"Well this is awkward!"
>>216787833Arnold
Quaritch gave me senator Armstrong vibes in this. I want to see more of his antics
>>216788693Does Jimmy even realise that He probably thinks people want more of the sullies
>>216788399They'll find the Omnissiah, the Machine God
how will quaritch come back in the next movie
>>216788749Half machine half cannibal
>>216788749He survives the jump, burned to hell but resembles Ashy Larry
havent seen the movie but did the quota man survive?
>>216788667Brilliant
>>216788489They're largely recorded in the third world
>>216788305>Varang is fine for kids
>>216783879That they can produce enough antimatter to use as fuel is absolutely insane. The amount of energy and scale of infrastructure required to do that is enormous and using it safely for a spaceship drive is also nuts. There's a reason antimatter as the power source for ships in Star Trek, it was the ultimate form of energy storage that is definitely real.The thing that is bonkers is that its economically viable to use that kind of technology to travel to another star system to fucking hunt whales to acquire what is essentially a luxury good for a small number of super rich people. It implies that this shit is both trivial and also not significantly regulated. Also regarding unobtainium, the fact that there's no state-led initiatives to control pandora also suggests it isn't actually strategically important. If Earth is super in trouble and Pandora is super important James Cameron sure does not write stories that indicate that, they give the impression that its an African country a venture capitalist could send a container ship full of mercenaries to in order to pick up some conflict diamonds.
>>216788775he should have died at the end of avatar 2 (he would have bled out in a couple of minutes) and in avatar 3 he would have either drowned or died from the pressure
>>216788749Maybe Varang picks him up before he dies
shh varang is sleeping
>>216788853SKYDEMON FUCKER
>>216788868>SKYDEMONI see it now
>>216788793Yes. I would have had a massive crush on Varang as a kid as well.
>>216788868I can't stop looking at that swishing tail. Cute little tuft.
>>216789047>>216788868>"This is sad...very sad only. They did not have to die"I miss innocent Neyney
>>216788853damn Quaritch had her knocked out
>>216789047there's good expressive tail action in avatar 3 as well
>>216782816all women are evil.
>>216789122Yeah. I think it's the first time she ever slept so blissfully like that.
>>216786504Is that carm?
>>216783446Panspermia
>>216788793Yes, Varang is fine for kids. I saw Batman returns when I was 10 and it activated my leather dominatrix fetish just as God intended
>>216787584>french pypo really liked this movie
>>216787584why do Euros get counted as individual countries while North America all gets lumped together?When they talk about "domestic" box office, is that also for all of North America or just US?
>>216789364>When they talk about "domestic" box office, is that also for all of North America or just US?US + Canada

>>216788799RDA is a state-tier corporation anon. It’s a British East India style quasi-state entity on a global scale. The lore is that the Venture Star took the equivalent resources of a small country, and even its partially full cargo sold for enough to make a profit. The bigger problem for humans is that Pandora is way too far away. A 16 year round trip is simply unmanageable. Europeans were working with a 3 month round trip to the New World, and even they couldn’t establish a permanent presence in North America for nearly a century. The human presence on Pandora feels tenuous and fragile because it is tenuous and fragile. Humanity is way overstretching itself here, and it’s only the lack of Navii coordination that has allowed them to get the foothold they did. I mean the Jake Sully/Navii counterinsurgency news hasn’t even reached Earth yet. The colonist are acting completely independently for the entire course of the last two movie. If anything it’s a miracle that the entire operation hasn’t collapsed under its own weight already.Amrita is stupid, and I regret even making up an argument to defend it. But it does make sense in a “AI data centers in space” sort of way, where the point is not making a profit so much as it is keeping the suits invested in a project that is suddenly looking much riskier and more resource intensive than before.
