[Shai]

[Bamboota]

[ironwez20]

No what im saying is you not liking it wont effect it at all.

 

[pixletwin]

Sigh. Forget it. Have fun going back and forth everyone!

Thinking on this movie more I have also come to the conclusion that Jake was miscast and the script never fleshed him out or made him interesting. I never cared about him much and I never felt like he was ever really conflicted between which side to choose.

Yeah. FX 4 stars. Story and everything else. 1 1/2 stars.

He had no choice, only he could use his brother's DNA.

So question:

If he fathers little blue kiddies are they actually his brother's kids?

AVATAR Sequel and Details Confirmed

Oh Lord how did I miss this. You and your kind(and by your kind, I mean people who look for any reason to be offended by something)are so full of BS it's pathetic. I wouldn't care if Jake was Black, White, Yellow or whatever. The important thing is is that Jake knows the CAPABILITIES of the mercenaries getting ready to attack them. He would know that taking out the air intakes on the big ships would bring them down. Something the indiginous people wouldn't know. Was Independance Day racist because Will Smith saved the planet? How about I Am Legend? What about Book Of Eli? Puhlease.

dont just start yapping without thinking things through. what did jake do that the na'vi couldnt do themselves? what "CAPABILITES" you speak of? the capability to ride the red dragon? the capability to be as agile and as fearless to fight the baddies? the capability to give rousing speeches to convince other clans? to talk to the mother tree?

you think all other na'vi couldnt do those things? just because it's BS to you, doesnt mean it's BS to others.

You're trying your damndest to make others appear to be fools but it's pretty plain to see by the majority of responses who is getting that honor.

with some of the guys here, i dont even need to try. like this guy for example:

Thats why I deemed him unworthy of a retort.

good. keep telling yourself that, at least it'd save you from further embarrassment.

There are the ones that come to discuss and even debate their hobby and there are the ones that come and treat this forum as a video game challenge where quantities of take downs are what they are looking for.

you dont like the debate, feel free to leave the thread. dont paint it as "take downs" just because you dont agree with views presented. this is the avatar movie thread, anything related to that movie is good enough to be discussed here. if some idiots start acting like a child, it's only fair to put them in their place. you play nice, i'll give you a nice reply. you want to act like a child, i'll treat you like a child. it's a simple rule.

Stephen Colbert had a hilarious bit tonite about the recently released scripted sex scene. He read it outloud to sensual music and images, it was hilarious.

He also pointed out that they use their ponytail things to connect with the animals and how it was like beastiality since its the same way they have sex. Kind of sick, maybe best to leave it out of the DVD.

Jesus this guy needs to get a life.
Move on dude, move on.
Better still, just start up an 'I HATE AVATAR' thread and be done with it.
I don't have complaints when someone says they don't like a movie, but when they keep harping on about it you've gotta start wondering what goes on in their little pee brains.
Snakedoctor = ignore list

is this avatar thread or avatar's fanboys thread? maybe it's you who should start another thread. snakedoctor also said this:

I will admit to not fully understanding the racist angle that some are seeing. I understand, in concept, the argument that a white savior for a the blue indians indicates white superiority in dealing with the threat. However, in this case, the threat was all the other white guys ... certainly the fact that 98% of white characters in this movie were villains detracts from the "white superiority" argument.

In the movie, the blue indians were portrayed uniformly as wise and admirable -- connected with nature, innocent, selfless, high-minded, humble, etc. With the exception of about three characters, the hoards of white characters were portrayed as obnoxious, belligerent, bloodthirsty, selfish, greedy, arrogant, and fully willing to murder and steal to achieve their goals. Even the white protagonist and couple of sympathetic white scientists were portrayed as incapable when not in their blue bodies ... the marine was referred to as a "like a baby", and had to undergo blue indian re-education before becoming wise and admirable.

I'm not seeing how this particular portrayal belies racism against the blue guys.

you can love or hate the movie and still be objective. it's the blind fanatics that get on my nerve sometimes.

.

cr` listen to me, hoodonit00 is right, Jake Sully has full knowledge of the enemy because he was a Marine. There is no way the Na'Vi would know how to win a war against an advanced technological army if Jake was not there to tell them of the enemy's weaknesses.

The Humans were given even more of an advantage by the information of the Na'Vi passed on to them by Jake, early on in the movie.
So what possible chance do you think the Na'Vi would have without him?
To say Jake was not needed, Is like saying the Ewoks could beat the Empire without the help of the Rebels

Wow, good to see things are as light hearted as ever around here.

I have a question that a Pandora expert might be able to help me with, if there is one out there. Did Cameron publish his field guide to the planet yet; I heard one was mooted as a kind of realistic study of the flora, fauna and geology of the planet. Any way, the question is when flying through the 'levitating mountains' you could see waterfalls tumbling from them... how? Where would this water source come from? Or was it meant to be a dense gas venting from outlets that was denser than the atmosphere so fell before dissipating... it just annoyed me because if it was meant to be water a floating rock can have no water source un less its being channelled from above it... which makes no sense.

Don't think that was ever explained. Probably just an attempt to look cool.

Oh, and while I liked this movie, the fans are becoming far more scary than the Twilight fans. Seriously, there are so many posting on the Avatar board about how they need to see this movie to be happy and that they truely believe they are Na'vi in human bodies, WTF?

WTF! indeed

That is a good question. They would technically be his brothers children but DNA wise they would be EXTREMELY close physically.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Maybe there will be some kind of logical explanation to that waterfall phenomenon in upcoming book of Avatar nature!

Remember that physics as we know it, probably don't apply to the world of Pandora.

That is a good question. They would technically be his brothers children but DNA wise they would be EXTREMELY close physically.

I don't think so, it's all about DNA, only Jake could have used his brothers Avatar, as they had same DNA. Meaning, if they were about to make especially Jakes avatar, it would look the same as the one of his brother, as they were twins.
Lastly, he possessed that Avatar body, making it it's own. It's his (same as his) DNA, and his mind in that body..Genes are all the same, as they were twins, which leads to believe, kids would be actually his!
