If air on Pandora is toxic anyway, why didn't RDA nuke the planet from orbit and mine unobtanium from the glassed crater?
Back of the horse
>>219792180I only ever watched the first movie like 16 years ago but from what I remember is that in this movie (and I assume in the other Avatar movies too) the people are retarded and its one of these movies where the plot only moves forward because everyone in it is retarded.
>>219792640that's most movies
>>219792180>nuke the planet from orbitIt's actually much easier to just nudge asteroids once you have space travel unlocked. You don't need massive engines, just sustained pushing. Single asteroids flung to a planet are more powerful than any nuke. This is a problem in almost every space show. Both that they try to use weapons much less effective and gimped, and that there's little defense. The Expanse actually uses the idea.
>>219792180That's not how they have sex though. They have dicks and pussies like us.
>>219792180because the RDA are a corporation bound by human laws and they aren't allowed to just murder aliens without justification. They most likely aren't allowed nukes at all
>>219792180so just mine metal in a radioactive *and* toxic environment and fly it up through a Kessler Sky? and good luck with operating a space elevator, let alone building it. plus the stock market value collapse on Earth for, you know, planetary genocide. and then your metal is radioactive, toothe fuck?
>>219792802It's called a kinetic bombardment and it doesn't even have to be asteroids. It can literally be any heavy mass whatever size you want depending on the amount of destruction you want. Just putting something heavy in orbit and dropping it is much easier than catching and redirecting an asteroid.
beacuse that would turn a potential colony into a radioactive wasteland, and mining on a radioactive wasteland wouldnt really be super easy.
>>219792802>>219793024In Babylon 5 using mass drivers for warfare is banned by treaties since using them can render entire planets uninhabitable. Meanwhile nuclear bombs still see some use throughout the series since they can plausibly be used to take out military targets without too much collateral.
>>219792180>radiation is the same as toxic gas
>>219792180That's not how they have sex. That's how they link minds. It just happens to be awesome for sex.
>>219793042It'd be easier than fighting a constant war against the natives.
>>219792180Because the radioactivity would make all the Unobtanium worthless.
>>219793569How? Are the refineries also located on Pandora? Genuinely asking btw.
>>219792180>we use this to pee>we also use it to have sex
>>219793629Yes. The refineries are just outside of Hell's Gate.
>>219792180>hurr durr different cultures do different thing, therefore they must be exterminated, specially at their own home.
>>219793660i used your moms pooper to have sex
Doesnt the sequel starts with the humans firebombing the three?
>>219793663Ah that make sense then. Gotta have low background unobtainium.
>>219792180In the second movie they say the Earth is dying and they plan to colonize Pandora. 2nd panel, direhorse.
Pandora is just the end goal of The Last of Us fungus plague. Whole planet is a zombie hivemind
>>219792180those are to provide mental connection, not reproduction
Meh, better than Sinfest.
>>219794568seems like a pretty happy hivemind
>>219792180Because Avatar isn't soft sci fi like Star Wars trying to tell a fun tale or hard sci fi trying to use real science, it's bullshit historical guilttripping about muh American natives enslaved by le ebil europeans.
>>219792802>The Expanse actually uses the idea.Too bad that the show went full fucking retard with the Earth rocking. Barely anyone died compared to the books because the producers didn't want to make disaster porn.
>>219794728>gets guilt tripped into guarding random fungal nodes against armed soldiers, because the mushroom guilt trips you with halucinations of every dead family member you lost
>>219792180>>219792802There are probably left-wing scum in the gubmint that prevent them from being allowed to fully genocide the aliens
>>219792180watch the movies
>>219792180If Naavi didn't have a fuckhole it would be necessary to create one
>>219794568Reddit theory
>>219792802Asteroids are already going fast when they encounter a planet so you would have to get it up to speed to have the same impact as the ones that have hit earth.
>>219792802This would probably be very difficult with Pandora since it's a moon in orbit around a gas giant.And if your asteroid fucks up the planet for a thousand years then it's a bad strategy. Especially if you end up killing the immortality whales or whatever.
>>219792180they actually have penises and vaginas they go over it in the detailed fanbook or whatever cameron is a massive autist when it comes to worldbuilding >>219792802that was the plot of Chars Counteratack
>>219792802>It's actually much easier to just nudge asteroids once you have space travel unlocked. You don't need massive engines, just sustained pushing. Single asteroids flung to a planet are more powerful than any nuke.This is the most retarded thing i have ever heard. Why would you go find asteroids to throw when you can conveniently just launch nukes? Is this eco friendly space warfare or something?
>>219794043nasty crust buster
kek, this one is actually pretty funny
>>219798965Hello midwit
>>219792893So let me get this straight. You can nuke Palestine but not Pandora?
>>219799055That wine spill is sussy
>>219798965You'd have to bring your nukes with you and you don't get any more once you use them.Rocket fuel on the other hand is easy. If you've got water you can make more.
>>219799141>aliens come to earth to destroy it>fly to mars to go push some asteroids
>>219798965The amount of asteroids that almost hit Earth is very large. Hard to know if our solar system is unique in having this many asteroids of course.
not enough blu cat slaves and
>>219798965Well for one, nukes can be intercepted even with technology we already have now. A decently sized asteroid can't because of its sheer mass.
you guys are crazy, its way easier to just conquer them and use them for slave labor. if you need to kill them then you can just use biological weapons and since theyre aliens it wont even effect your people.you could also just give them alcohol and blankets
>>219792640>I only ever watched the first movie like 16 years ago but from what I remember is that in this movie (and I assume in the other Avatar movies too) the people are retarded and its one of these movies where the plot only moves forward because everyone in it is retarded.They're some of the worst big budget movies I ever seen. The Milla Jovovich R.E. movies have better story structure.
>>219793024The ships they use to get to pandora accelerate to 0.7c flipping and doing a braking maneuver, all they'd need to is just release a relatively small mass with maybe some maneuvering thruster for a final approach before they slow down and let physics do the rest.
>>2198024580,7c BEFORE flipping and doing a braking maneuver, that is.
>>219792180 earth is dying so the wanna make pandora into a new earth. also they want the whales to live so they can harvest their juices to live forever
>>219802670It won't do any good. We've been explaining it to them for over a decade but they won't listen. They just keep parroting "throw space asteroid at them" over and over like a brain damaged npc. They each think they're the first ones to come up with the idea and when they get told why they're fucking stupid they can't understand and just keep saying it. All the wh40k slop they guzzle has killed too many brain cells.
>>219792802You have zero clue how orbital mechanics work.
