Avatar	comment	Avatar is a 2009 epic Science Fiction adventure film directed and written by James Cameron.The film takes place in a future where Earth is a polluted Crapsack World, though the story itself unfolds on Pandora, a large moon of the planet Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri A system. The moon's air is toxic to humans, but it has lots of Unobtainium note Seriously, that's what it's called as an in-joke; most viewers miss the single line in the film in which it is revealed that the characters in the film intentionally chose the name ironically., which the human Resources Development Administration is mining, but in order to get at the richest source of it, they need to relocate a clan of the native population; ten-foot-tall, blue Humanoid Aliens called the Na'vi who live in the forests.A paraplegic former U.S. Marine named Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is given a remotely-controlled Na'vi body called an "avatar" in order to communicate with the Na'vi and gain their trust, but the resident General Ripper Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) has other ideas and wants to remove the Na'vi by force. Jake ends up torn between his humanity and the adopted Na'vi way of life, made harder by his growing bond with The Chief's Daughter, Neytiri (Zoe SaldaÃ±a).James Cameron first got the idea for Avatar in The '90s and wrote an 80-page scriptment for it, but he shelved the project because he felt that the special effects technology at the time was insufficient for portraying Pandora and its inhabitants adequately, particularly in regards to translating actors' faces to CGI. Thus, he spent the time between Titanic and Avatar creating smaller products as he developed these technologies and amassed a large budget for the movie.Avatar is also notable for using a form of stereoscopic 3D for filming. The film's incredible financial success led to a surge in interest for 3D films; indeed, it currently stands as the highest-grossing film of all timenote In raw numbers at least; adjusted for inflation, it's 2nd behind Gone with the Wind, having held the title for a decade before being overtaken by Avengers: Endgame in 2019, and then reclaiming the title in 2021 through re-releases.For sequels and other media see Avatar.No relations to Avatar: The Last Airbender, or any other meanings of the word "avatar".

Avatar / int_106f1a77	comment	A Form You Are Comfortable With: The purpose of the Avatar project was to improve relations with the Na'vi by having the ambassadors who look like the Na'vi. Unfortunately, the Na'vi found it insulting, like black-face. Also, some Na'vi link the avatars to demonic possession.

Avatar / int_135b9977	comment	Bloodless Carnage: Toyed with, likely to keep a PG-13 rating. Though characters get battered and bloody, and wounds are shown after the fact, when characters are actively seen being shot/arrowed/sliced in battle, there's little, if any, blood shown. Also, they seem to have no problem showing humans being killed pretty brutally (but again, without blood), but the Na'vi simply drop in most instances. Particularly noticeable in the final battle where dozens of Na'vi are gunned down, and simply drop like it's an old western. On the other hand, the level of realism does make the Instant Death Bullet unlikely.

Avatar / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Jake and the rest of the Na'vi leadership task the Horse Clan with intercepting Quaritch's ground troops. Quaritch's ground troops are armed with a wide array of nasty weapons including 30mm automatic cannons. The Horse Clan might have been more effective if they hadn't attacked head on and tried flanking tactics. As it happened... World War I anyone? More specifically, while many have cited that the tactics used by the Na'vi are idiotic despite being led by a Marine, let's not forget that despite his training and experience, he's still leading a force of what amounts to be conscripts who know nothing of 'modern' combat as they themselves hadn't reached that technological age yet. In order to break the tribes of their old tactics, he'd have needed weeks, months, even 'years' to train them sufficiently. The only saving grace was that the Na'vi were fighting on their home turf, and had the will of their gods on their side.

The air is unbreathable to humans thanks to its concentration of CO2 and H2S, causing a coma in a matter of seconds, and death in minutes. Pandoran plants are loaded to the brim with toxins, as far as humans are concerned. However the namesake Avatars are created by the improbable working combination of human and Na'vi DNA. Which is another can of worms in itself, because the Na'vi, according to Pandorapedia, do not have DNA.

Avatar / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Avatar / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: All the large land animals of Pandora have six limbs. However, the first two pairs of legs are identically shaped, and move in unison, meaning that despite having six legs the creatures all walk with a quadruped-like gait. Which realistically, would cause them to trip over their own legs when running. And here's an interesting guide on how hexapods might believably walk, showing the movements of each pair of limbs to avoid them all colliding with each other while moving. The Na'vi are said to be related to the Prolemuris, which is stated to be a link between the four-limbed Na'vi and the rest of the six-limbed wildlife. However, the Prolemuris has two pairs of arms that are partly fused at the elbow joint, which along with being an unlikely course of evolution, would also compromise the functionality of said limbs. A more realistic option would be the Prolemuris having two sets of arms, but one pair much smaller and greatly reduced, which in turn would be completely lost in the Na'vi. The direhorses would make terrible mounts in jungle environs, being tall and lanky so that any hole they step in would break their leg. Similarly, just riding through the jungle would ensure that rider and mount both would hit plenty of brush, as anyone who has ever ridden a horse through a forest can attest. The avatars are, despite all appearances, remarkably human — their voices, spectrum of vision, and hearing all fit human parameters, despite Na'vi evolving on a moon with a different atmosphere guaranteeing all three of the above should be significantly different. The fact the Na'vi are functionally human with the exception of some minor physical traits despite the extreme unlikelihood of this coincidental evolutionary route (even evolving from the Pandoran equivalent of "monkeys") has been stated to be entirely for artistic reasons.invoked Humans smoking would be phenomenally stupid. All their environments are artificially oxygenated. Any equipment failure would risk explosion or faster asphyxiation for smokers. The mere concept of "avatars" is a massive example of artistic license, since it involves mixing of human and Na'vi genes to create a seamless hybrid. The likelihood of alien genes being equivalent enough with human DNA to produce a perfectly compatible body is outrageously improbable (All There in the Manual notes Na'vi don't even have DNA).

Trudy is able to put up a valiant battle with her skillful piloting and using the floating islands as cover, but she is quickly blown out of the open sky once the Dragon's sheer firepower is able to flush her out. Quaritch in his 14-foot AMP suit VS Jake in his 10-foot Avatar body. Quaritch is killed by two Na'vi arrows (which are the size of Olympic javelins) through the chest courtesy of Neytiri. The 10-foot-tall Na'vi versus any human NOT in an AMP suit, which guns aside tends to go very poorly for the humans. And the 14-foot AMP suits are literally trampled into the mud by stampeding Titanotheres, which are twice the size of bull elephants.

It is said to be untameable by even the strongest of Na'vi, and only five individuals are known to have tamed one in their history. Jake manages to become the sixth by virtue of being ballsy (and desperate) enough to attack one with the same method it uses to hunt Ikran.

It is said that the people on Earth in the original script are greyish and sickly due to their diet of cheap carbohydrates and synthetic proteins, and that the atmosphere is so polluted the exopacks used on Pandora are also necessary for human life on Earth. There's also Pandora. The moon is so dangerous to humans, they call their colony "Hell's Gate". The moon is covered with lethal animals and vegetation, and even the atmosphere is naturally poisonous to humans, without the need for pollution. Colonel Quaritch, a career military veteran, who had been on the front lines of wars for decades without a scratch, got a scarring head wound on his very first day planetside.

Avatar / int_31c5e7fb	comment	Starfish Aliens: The creatures of Pandora were supposed to be like this, and they even got Wayne freakin' Barlowe and Neville Page to help out. But eventually they had to tone it down because the creatures looked "too alien". At one point the banshee and Leonopteryx looked like giant flying manta rays. This was part of an overall theme change, as the Na'vi concept art at the time had a reptilian look, which is where all the confusion about their being mammals originated from thanks to out-of-date information. Pretty much all life on Pandora has six limbs, four eyes, and breathes through an operculum on the chest... except the Na'vi, Prolemuris (a clear evolutionary link intended to show the reasoning behind it), and ikran (which have four wings, all of which function as legs on the ground, and no trace of the third pair of limbs). Though there are still some minor creatures in film that are definitely Starfish Aliens, many of the flora and fauna were inspired by deep sea Earth creatures and plants. The creatures on Pandora, while looking vertebrate-y, are also shown to breathe through an operculum (e.g. ikran, toruk and pa'li).

In order to break the tribes of their old tactics, he'd have needed weeks, months, even 'years' to train them sufficiently. The only saving grace was that the Na'vi were fighting on their home turf, and had the will of their gods on their side.

Avatar / int_49f20c6a	comment	Gory Discretion Shot: More like Gory Camera Pan. A lot of the attacks that would be bloodier are quickly panned away from. Most noticeable near the end where Jake is running on the top of the shuttle and unloads his machine gun into a group of marines. You see him open fire, but the camera very quickly pans up so you can't see most of the results, although you know exactly what they are. Gotta keep that PG-13 rating. Quaritch's second-in-command getting crushed by a titanothere. It's only shown crushing his AMP suit but we can still hear him scream. The additional scenes in the special edition show a few more nasty deaths of humans. We can see the aftermath of a raid against mining bulldozers, with one shot showing a soldier impaled by arrows and another one a burned out AMP suit, with pilot being implied to have been burned alive in it. Also an additional scene of a sturmbeest crushing an AMP against a tree (and impaling it straight through the cockpit in the process, no less). Same with a soldier being crushed by an crate full of explosives.

Avatar / int_4ac8b81f	comment	Humans Are the Real Monsters: Played with. On one hand, you have it played straight with RDA; an enormous, corrupt corporation with enough resources to field its own private army in numbers rivaling modern militaries in our time, fully and unashamedly intend to wipe the natives of Pandora out of existence just so they can mine Unobtanium freely. On the other hand, there are humans, like Grace and later Jake, who want to work with the Na'vi, and are horrified by RDA's intentions for the moon and its inhabitants. Another complication is the state of Earth itself, according to the backstory: war-torn, exhausted, and polluted almost to being uninhabitable with companies like RDA having an iron grip on the populace. The only chance for humanity to survive seems to be colonizing other planets, but the catch is that it requires Unobtanium, which is vital to building the starships needed for colonization, hence why the metal is so valuable. In short, humanity isn't just acting out of malice or some sort of misguided Manifest Destiny, they're on the brink of extinction and desperate for a solution. The film inadvertently provides a rather disturbing meta-example. The human characters in the film are unwilling to resort to outright genocidal war against the Na'vi or using weapons of mass destruction, out of Pragmatic Villainy (a line suggests that the media and general public back on Earth are largely sympathetic to the Na'vi and violence against the natives is avoided to prevent bad PR for the operation). Yet such suggestions arise in reviews and discussions with alarming frequency.

Whether it would actually be used to make Earth suck less is a lot less clear; Selfridge seems largely concerned with mining Unobtainium, regardless of environmental impact, and when Grace tells him Eywa is alive, he brushes her off entirely. We don't know if his attitude is the typical one of the RDA administration, but there's a good chance we'll see in the sequel.

The Na'vi are distrustful toward the humans, whom they see as physically-inferior warriors. The only reason Jake was able to get them to trust him was because he wasn't a intellectual or a diplomat, neither of which they see as worthwhile roles.

That being said, it's really only a death world to humans with the Na'vi being shown to be perfectly capable of living in the ecosystem without much fear (though they still do have to be savvy about the dangers in the wild). It's implied that the reason for this is because whereas the Na'vi are natural parts of the ecosystem, having evolved and developed on Pandora, the humans are alien to this world, and thus completely unsuited to be there.

This is what caused the whole "RDA gets mining rights" fiasco and people unaware of Selfridge being an ass to Na'vi, and presumably was a holdover from the first draft (RDA was being monitored by an inspector as a result of charges of abuse, but he was bribed).

This is an in-joke relating to something that has incredible properties. See Unobtainium. Jake, or Jacob, is the name of one of the great Patriarchs of The Bible; his brother Thomas' name means simply "the twin." Grace Augustine is named after both a heavenly gift and the great Doctor of the church... it goes on. Some people think Eywa sounds like Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God. —and 'Selfridge' sounds a lot like 'selfish'. Though best known for opening the box, the Pandora of Classical Mythology was created to be the perfect woman, and her name literally means "All-Gifted". The namesake moon is everything that the earth of the time is not: Lovely, with a rich ecology and massive natural resources.

Note the outdated drum magazine at the side, and an internal Shout-Out to the Aliens Smart Guns. All There in the Manual that it is actually an M60 variant with a heatshield/grip and drum magazine, which is around the right size that while being impractical for a human to carry, it is just about assault rifle size for a Na'vi, who are also strong enough to handle the weight and recoil without a problem. They're also using outdated variants on purpose - importing weapons and ammo from Earth is extremely time-and-resource consuming and would malfunction in Pandora's harsh environment. And, as mentioned below, Pandora's very strong magnetic field and thick atmosphere would make the railguns, coilguns, and other such things common on Earth unreliable at best and useless at worst.

Most noticeable near the end where Jake is running on the top of the shuttle and unloads his machine gun into a group of marines. You see him open fire, but the camera very quickly pans up so you can't see most of the results, although you know exactly what they are. Gotta keep that PG-13 rating.

At least their large cabin, with excellent view but poor protection, and lack of in-built weaponry heavily suggests this. Quaritch's suit is seen to have a combat knife.

Avatar / int_a6b14ee1	comment	Hollywood Tactics: The Na'vi attempt an unsupported, unarmored cavalry charge against a prepared line of space marines armed with machine guns. This tactical error could be excused by the Na'vi's lack of knowledge about human weaponry, except that in this particular battle the Na'vi are actually being LED by an ex-space marine. Norm's Avatar is also killed when he faces said marines head-on without taking cover thanks to being a scientist, not a soldier, but still.note The closest thing they have to an excuse is the fact that the marine in question wasn't with the troop doing the charge at the time. The group he actually is with, leading directly, does much better.

Avatar / int_a7ae714	comment	Planetary Romance: It's set on a detailed alien world with a mostly primitive setting involving frequent use of melee weapons and seemingly magical abilities with vague scientific explanations. James Cameron even stated that he was heavily inspired by John Carter of Mars, the first major planetary romance ever written. One might argue that the film is a Reconstruction of (or a Genre Throwback to) this century-old genre, updating and re-imagining many tropes characteristic of it.

The human characters in the film are unwilling to resort to outright genocidal war against the Na'vi or using weapons of mass destruction, out of Pragmatic Villainy (a line suggests that the media and general public back on Earth are largely sympathetic to the Na'vi and violence against the natives is avoided to prevent bad PR for the operation). Yet such suggestions arise in reviews and discussions with alarming frequency.

These forearms fused into two by the time the Na'vi had evolved, leaving them the only ones with four limbs.

Avatar / int_ce2969d8	type	Spiritual Antithesis
Avatar / int_ce2969d8	comment	Spiritual Antithesis: As much as audiences commented its derivative nature, it took some concepts used previously in different works and done in a polar opposite execution. Past works such as: To Princess Mononoke (and, to some degree, its Spiritual Predecessor NausicaÃ¤ of the Valley of the Wind). Both dealt with the theme of militaristic human civilizations clashing with Mother Nature, and featured a disabled protagonist mediating both sides along with a young woman siding with the nature. James Cameron has acknowledged Hayao Miyazaki's anime's influence on his movie, based Pandora's ecosystem from the forest from the anime, and some shots from the movie homages the others shots in the anime. Both Jake Sully and Neytiri in some ways both Decomposite Character and Composite Character of Aishitaka and San - Jake is Aishitaka but decided to abandon his humanity and fully sided with the nature (like San), and Neytiri is San but came from a dying indigenous tribe where she's their prince(ss) (like Aishitaka). Setting wise, Princess Mononoke did a fantastical take on Japan's past, where Avatar did a fantastical take on the hypothetical future where intergalatic space travel is possible but the planet earth remained polluted. However, on thematic stand-point, Princess Mononoke treats the battle between humans and nature as destructive to the point of no return, while Avatar, being a sci-fi action flick, embraces the method of going all-out war on mining corporations settled on the moon. In comparion with Nausicaa, characters riding wild banshees almost resembles the hang-glider in the anime. Ursula K. Le Guin thought the movie as this to her The Word for World Is Forest where it "reverses the book's moral premise, presenting the central and unsolved problem of the book, mass violence, as a solution."

Toruk hunts by diving with the sun behind its back as cover, earning the nickname "last shadow" because that's the last thing its prey tends to see before it snags them seconds later. Jake later uses the same tactic to ambush and tame one, as its skull structure means it can't look up.

Avatar / int_d5a84e45	comment	Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": Humans have forgone the smeerp route and given the animals names compliant with the earth creatures they resemble —hammerhead titanotheres, viperwolves, etc. The Na'vi have their own names for them, as would be expected. Some of the more common: Humans have given the Ikran the name "Banshees" and the Toruk was given the name "Great Leonopteryx". One of the more frequently-seen Pandoran animals has four eyes, six legs, hairless blue skin, a snout like an anteater, and nostrils in its chest. It's known by the Na'vi as Pa'li, but humans call it a direhorse. Fair enough, it is kind of like a horse, it acts and is used an awful lot like a horse, but still... No one else looked at those horses and thought Odin's eight-legged steed, Sleipnir? Humans aren't very original with names for alien creatures in THIS universe, it seems.

The Na'vi goddess is also a real being, fully examinable and explainable through science. The bad guys are the military and corporates who misuse technology. The movie does not suggest that humans should shift back to hunter-gatherer culture like some supporters and detractors believe. In fact, the supplementary material is pretty adamant that scientific advancement is the only way to rescue Earth from its miserable state, and that research from Pandora is vital to this progress. The message is that aboriginal peoples should not be forced to adapt modern lifestyle against their will, and that horrible consequences caused by environmental exploitation can't be fixed with more exploitation.

It's easy for the Na'vi to preach about respecting the environment when their environment apparently supplies them with all the perks of an industrialized society.

Every native plant is part of a natural internet, every animal has a natural brain implant, and every sapient native has a brain implant that overpowers the will of any native creature, allowing them to be controlled and allowing the Na'vi to tap into their moon's natural plant internet. The many images of Earth in the Avatar universe show smoggy and futuristic landscapes with countless lights, city streets flowing with people, entire "skies" of advertisements serving as ceilings for lower levels in the cities, elevated trains and immense sky-scrapers, and even a Hive-city structure covered in advertisement screens that has an uncanny resemblance to the Hometree. The air pollution has gotten to the point that everybody has to wear a dust mask outside on the streets. Not unlike other cyberpunk settings, large corporate bodies like the RDA are incredibly powerful and their presence seen everywhere. Computer technology is also shown to have progressed greatly in the movie, with interactive holograms and an incredible interface which allows for easy blueprint making and construction as long as the required materials are present, and of course, there are advertisement screens and lights everywhere.

Avatar / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Avatar / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Per the Pandorapedia, the starship Venture Star combines beamed light sail propulsion for the outbound flight and a fusion/antimatter hybrid drive to decelerate at Alpha Centauri. Yes, those are some of the leading ideas for interstellar flight that don't involve new science. The biggest problem a large spaceship will have is getting rid of waste heat; the Venture Star has huge radiators, and they're red-hot. See also the amount of detail in Pandorapedia, such as their careful examination of the Scorpion's vulnerabilities and advantages against the Na'vi. Or this series of articles. Also regarding the Na'vi language: While James Cameron isn't an expert in language construction, he had the very good sense to hire people who were. He also had the actors practice their Na'vi lines until everything was perfect.
