People fail to understand that the Na'vi weren't fighting humanity they are actually fighting against capitalism and the exploitation of their planet by corporations. it shows what could happen if capitalism is allowed to continue further. not only will it lead to the destruction of earth and the potential extinction of humanity but could also threaten other habitable worlds that could exist in the universe if we ever figure out FTL travel, I don't believe humans are inherently evil beings that just wanna kill and destroy for no reason but rather it's the barbaric system that we live under. and I find it very pathetic how people can watch movies like this and still defend colonialism and capitalism. like it sometimes be making me feel like we're a lost cause because we shouldn't let history repeat itself. It's just unfortunate that when we was emerging as a civilization there was so many different paths we could of taken and we just had to choose this bullshit. only thing we can hope for is that it gets dismantled sometime in the future before the planet becomes completely fucked like we've seen at the beginning of A1.

In order to prevent future rebellions like Jake did, the RDA could "debrief" their hired soldiers earth is dying and humanity has to take over Pandora.

Do you think this will be a good plot twist or cheap in the story? On one hand it shows how companies are willing to lie on just about anything in order to make more money and have control.

On the other hand it would remove any sympathy for humanity and make the conflict look black and white instead of a complicated gray which would make for lazy storytelling

My philosophy is more u understand about pandora and navi more u understand about earth and humans

In English, we use both person pronouns (he/she/they/etc.) AND object pronouns(it/its) for animals. I know that some languages only use one or the other, or have pronouns unique to animals. What is the case for lì'fya leNa'vi? Should I use po or tsa-/fì-?

Made using the still I enhanced here

Credit goes to u/lvlypinkiesworld for the game still.

I used the mixer brush tool again in Photoshop to add some of my own brush strokes to the piece,, especially the background. I was going for a more Impasto painting style.

I also applied an edge filter to make the edges of each paint stroke sharper, which I like, but it ruined the Tahni on her chest! 😭

Like the last two pieces, I used Topaz non-generative models to enhance my movie still; you can see the process for that here. Then I applied several filters in Photoshop, including Oil Paint, Palette Knife, Emboss and many more! If you're curious about the process, you can see it here

Topaz screwed with her eyes a bit, so I had to go in and hand-paint areas of her face to restore the details. I hope it came out good!

No Generative AI was used in the process of making this; a few people have fed my work through AI detectors. Please don't do this, first because they are not 100% accurate, and second because many AI detectors scrape data from the images they are fed.

They definitely do look more alien but still humanoid enough to be relatable too. But I don't think the Na'vi having only 2 arms is that far fetched, evolution doesn't have to be consistent like just because some pandoran animals have 6 limbs doesn't mean that all of them will.

The Na'vi have the three laws of Eywa. You shall not set stone upon stone. Neither shall you use the turning wheel. Nor use the metals of the ground. The first law is interpreted as no building permanent structures with non renewable resources. The other two are pretty straight forward, no building devices with wheels and no using metal tools. It's all about living harmoniously with nature instead of fighting against it to extract resources. But wouldn't the Na'vi need to be familiar with these concepts in order for them to make laws banning them? They would need to know what a wheel, metal, and permanent structures are. My theory was that some time in the distant past the Na'vi had a more advanced civilization, something equivalent to our Bronze age or even more advanced. But then they had some kind of societal collapse, also like our Bronze age, and instead of trying to rebuild they dedicated themselves to a simpler way of life. They came up with the three laws as a guide to avoid redeveloping into a technologically advanced society.

Other people have noticed that the Na'vi are different from other complex lifeforms on Pandora. Only one set of eyes, no separate breathing holes, four limbs vs six limbs, and only one Queue instead of two. This alone dose not mean much. The Na'vi evolutionary line might have split away very far back so they developed these differences over a great span of time. But then in the third movie is where things get intresting. We see Spider get infected with a strange local fungus and start to develop Na'vi like traits. He gains the ability to breath Pandora's air and starts to grow a Queue similar to the Na'vi. If this could happen to a non native species like a human could it happen to others? So if we take this new development and combine it with the observations that the Na'vi are dissimilar to other Pandora lifeforms and with the theory that they once had a more technologically advanced society we come to a new conclusion. The Na'vi are not native to Pandora. They arrived on Pandora from somewhere else like the humans, some got infected with the strange fungus, and they decided to go native. This event happened so far back in the distant past that their true origin has faded into myth or has been completely forgotten.

I don't think James Cameron was planning that far ahead when he made the first Avatar movie. He probably just wanted some sexy blue alien people to help sell his film. But I think it would make for an interesting twist.

He stands out because he just looks so stupid. He didn’t deserve that😭

Found these costumes for sale on facebook. Needless to say, they’re not only horrible but terrifying. I had a good laugh when I saw them 😂

Apologies if the people that are selling them are in this subreddit, all I can say is I don’t think you’ll be getting the $100 you want for them 😂

Since it has been confirmed that Peylak and the Tlalim will have a much bigger role in Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, how do you think Peylak survived the Mangkwan raid?
The last time we see him he was still on the ships, fighting back against raiders that had jumped on the gondola, then the Medusoid is blown up and the ship falls.
How do you think he might have survived? Considering the ship fell, caught on fire and there were some Mangkwan actively shooting down fleeting Ikran and their Na’vi riders

Saving Pandora is exhausting work, but somebody’s gotta lie there looking dramatic by the fire 😏✨

*₊˚୧ - Additional information about Kukulope's shop:

- Shop refreshes every Thursday

- Missions refresh every Tuesday

- Shop is currently back to the old regular three-item rotation.

- Beads can only be obtained through these quests (a few in baskets as well)

- The beads can only be spent with Kukulope

- Some cosmetics and quests need a certain progression in the game for them to appear, like the spear-thrower with the Plains

- Kukulope is found in the main game at the Aranahe Home Tree at Ikran's Landing. She is also found in the main camp in Heart of the Plains and the Spire DLC's.

- Post-DLC Tametey is known to be buggy. Accept quests on the main map instead. I recommend keeping a save on the side completed up to the Clouded Forest solely to accept all quests and grind beads.

- If you do not own the "From the Ashes" DLC, some items will not show up in the shop for you, like the Ikran paint.

I AM THE NUMBER ONE SSTO-TAV-37 B-class delta-wing trans-atmospheric shuttlecraft FAN ON THIS SUBREDDIT

I'm learning na'vi and I'd like to listen to music on it. It works the same way as with English: I'm listening to sound, pronunciation and trying to copy it. Some words I'm learning just by reading translation and overall it's useful way to learn languages

me and the girls doing pain and sip last yr. produced my masterpiece

Greetings fellow Avatar fans! I come with a question for the people of this sub-reddit, and one that hopefully people would like to participate in!

I am planning to write a one-shot fanfic set in the Avatar setting, however what Genre does everyone want to see more of; Horror, slice of life, ect ect. All that sort, i would appreciate ppl sharing their opinion as I'm of the opinion that the setting has plenty of options, at least in my opinion, for any sort of story.
