Jake was a disabled military man who lost his brother and was far from a happy person. And when he met Pandora he had the chance to walk again, TO FEEL HIS LEGS AGAIN, to fall in love with a woman and be reciprocated (I say this because how difficult it can be for a disabled person to find love because of the stigma that exists and the discrimination that exists to this day), to form a beautiful family, to be a FATHER and most important of all, he felt accepted and at home. Pandora gave him everything and more
These new images makes me want to cry and hug him. He deserves all that, I am so proud of him

i think the number one craziest thing about this whole "avatar 2" business has been how there is apparently a fanbase for the first movie. thousands of people apparently loved this movie, and for ten whole years they just never said anything about it or made it known to the wider world. there isn't any avatar fandom or active discussion for TEN YEARS, and then they just suddenly appear from the shadows to defend it online, like an army of sleeper agents woken up by the code phrase "no cultural impact"

Kiri and Spider are two sides of the same coin. They balance the narrative. A child born from the light and the other from the dark. Jake loves them both but because Spider is the villains son his arc is much more difficult. He has to atone for sins that aren't his.

Found this little hidden garden under Laser Processing Plant Alpha after the most recent patch. I don’t think it’s supposed to be there but it’s really nice.

My boy Spider really needs to get himself either an AMP or the soldier exoskeleton against the RDA some time in the remaining sequels (avatar 3, 4 and 5).
Maybe during a future battle with the RDA he might steal one or commandeer one. Not only would it allow him to keep up with the others, but it would also mean that he could do his part in fighting against humanity.
It would also help to avoid giving him a Avatar body, which to me would simply not be what his story is about. His story should be about accepting yourself and other accepting you for what you are, giving him a Na'vi body would go against that idea.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) - REVIEW
Tumblr media
SYNOPSIS
Jake Sully and Ney'tiri have formed a family and are doing everything to stay together. However when the Sky People return to hunt them down, they must leave their home and explore the regions of Pandora to find somewhere save to live.
youtube
The long awaited sequel to the highest grossing movie of all time has arrived with much fanfare and I have to say that watching Avatar: The Way of Water made for an unusual viewing experience. I've described the first film as a technical marvel that disappointed from a storytelling point of view but when it comes to the sequel, it's a somewhat different beast to process. Visually this is a film that I frequently and often was in awe of as the special effects are truly quite something. Does it repeat the same storytelling mistakes of the first Avatar? Not quite but it doesn't fully overcome them either. It does retread a lot of story elements of the first nor are the writers able to serve up anything that may convert the unconverted to James Cameron's vision. There are still sections where characters, both hero and villain, try to learn the way of things, we have a rivalry and a developing future romance but structurally it doesn't feel as predictable as the first. When it comes to spectacle however, The Way of Water surpasses the first film completely.
Tumblr media
James Cameron wastes no time taking us straight back into the world of Pandora and bringing us up to speed with what's been happening in the decade that's passed. The first act of the film moves at a brisker pace as it (re)introduces new and old characters and re-establishes the threat posed by the return of humanity. As with the first, Cameron isn't subtle with his themes which we're reminded of as space ships lay waste to hundreds of acres of forest and later as whalers hunt the Pandora equivalent; the Tulkuns. The second act takes a slower approach once the Sully's encounter the coastal Metkayina clan who teach them The Way of Water in sequences that aren't too dissimilar from where Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) learned the ways of the Omatikaya.
Tumblr media
Cameron and the writers also narrow rather than widen the battle against humanity with the guerilla war that Jake and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) are fighting becoming a game of cat of mouse against a recognizable foe. The return of Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) feels like a strange choice for me as he is resurrected as an Avatar. Lang was a good villain in the first and while Cameron and co try to add some layers to him in his relationship with Spider (Jack Champion), it feels an odd choice not to introduce a new villain at this stage given how definitively Lang's Quaritch was dealt with previously. Also returning characters such as Norm (Joel David Moore) and Mo'at (CCH Pounder) are more or less sidelined entirely and will seemingly have to wait for another sequel to play a major part.
Tumblr media
The Way of Water is unquestionably indulgent with its pacing with large sections where there aren't many action set pieces to break up the slower pace. Your willingness to indulge in this type of world building will be tested by your tolerance for the 3 hour runtime and the interest you hold in the Sully children as characters, particularly Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) and Lo'ak (Britain Dalton). For me the film didn't feel 3 hours long, the story is more character driven and the humans still make for effective villains and are very easy to dislike especially the new whaler, Captain Scoresby (Brendan Cowell) who leads hunts to kill the gentle and sentient Tulkuns. Although it does retread the first in many aspects, The Way of Water doesn't feel as structurally predictable which is probably the biggest and most welcome takeaway I have for the film given my criticism of the last.
Tumblr media
One thing I cannot emphasize enough is just how gorgeous The Way of Water looks; the decade that has passed has clearly allowed the technology to be refined and the results are clear to see. The computer generated Na'Vi look photo real and at no point do any of the aquatic creatures fail to convince as living beings. The first film didn't look terrible by any means however it soared in flourishes rather than a whole whereas this looks striking throughout. Is it likely to win others over to the Avatar banner? I'm not sure however I think this will satisfy existing fans with its new and returning characters, grand visual effects and thrilling set pieces. With the Way of Water, there's little doubt that James Cameron has achieved what he set out to do and there's plenty to admire on screen. Perhaps a tad too familiar in parts with some question marks regarding the choice of villain; this doesn't stop The Way of Water from being a superior film to the first even if I'm not quite able to call it great.
Tumblr media
VERDICT
Avatar: The Way of Water will test some with its slower pace and three hour run time however for me this is a superior film to the first with improved special effects, interesting new characters and thrilling set pieces.
4/5

Tumblr media
It's really sad to see how people insult or get upset about the sequel of a movie that came out 13 years ago and yet it's still having the same success after so much time, why don't they let others enjoy and share their happiness with others? and really, I'm not talking about which movie is better, who made the best effects, who are the best actors (because I'm more fan than human lol), I'm talking about the feeling of joy that one gets when you see something that you really like, I mean that pure feeling of happiness that is impossible not to stop and say "damn, it's so good to live to see this kind of stuff". And yes, I may be exaggerating or in many ways I may not, everyone can think what works better for them. But I think, why?, why are people like this?, why don't they let others just enjoy in peace and feel as much emotion as they can?
And yes, I am deeply moved to see again hundreds of blue aliens, floating mountains, exotic animals and the connections between that land, the sky, the blue aliens and those animals. Yes, my eyes filled with tears ( even while writing this) and I jumped like a little girl when I saw that the trailer was in front of my eyes, ready to see it. Also, of course, I want to know every aspect of this new world that I loved for so long, flora, fauna, characters, culture and even learn the language, go into the depths. I want to write stories about them. I can say it. I can say it proudly and without being ashamed of it.
Because you may not like it, you may not be interested in these movies or some people may see it as a reason for competition, but how many of you have looked forward to the announcement of your favorite book? how many of you have learned that whole song or that language because you wanted to delve a little deeper? how many of you have not slept to see the first seconds of that video game that has you crazy? How many of you have loved something so madly that tears came to your eyes and your hearts stopped, how many of you have screamed, how many of you have listened to that playlist over and over again just to go back to that place for a few more minutes, how many of you have felt misunderstood when you talked about it?
I want to tell you that we have felt every one of those feelings, every one of them. And now, as crazy as it sounds, here we are standing. Waiting, as so many of you have done in your time.
Dear friend, dear reader, I am proud to announce that after thirteen years, Pandora has awakened and we, the Na'vi, brothers and sisters, are just a few steps away from returning home. Finally, we feel at home again.
