TULKUN “The tulkun are not creatures; they are an intelligent species, some of whom are actual characters in the films,” Landau explains. Aside from the reef village, Cole says the tulkun was probably the biggest design challenge for A2. “It went through so many designs because it’s very much written as a whale and functions as a whale. But how whalelike do you make it?” An important species to get right, Cameron concurs that zeroing in on what the tulkun needed to look like became an unexpectedly lengthy and fraught process. “I felt we were struggling to keep the essence of what you’d immediately recognize as a whale, yet the specific details had to be very alien. The example that I used for the artists was the direhorse. You look at it and it’s clearly a horse. But when you really get to study it, it is some strange, alien dinosaur that has some horselike properties. I wanted the same thing with the tulkun. There should be no doubt in your mind what the metaphor is, but its specifics are very alien, strange, and totally unique to that species.”

FISHING SPEAR STUDIES An integral tool of the Metkayina culture is the fishing spear. There are two similar basic designs that are equally functional, but many individualized adornments reflect the user’s position in the community and their personality. Much thought went into finding their optimal function and the varietals of singular looks. Dylan Cole says of the two basic spear forms that appear in the film, “We have a very simple lance that is hydrodynamic, then we have the more ceremonial spear that Tonowari uses. Jim decided to make them both double-sided.” Costuming assistant Shealyn Biron adds, “Tonowari’s and Ronal’s were more decorative, indicative of their status as olo’eyktan and tsahìk. Their spears are carved, with an inset crystal spearhead.”

After Zoe's interview where she said Sullys would "go their separate ways" I've seen a lot of people worrying about Jake's and Neytiri's marriage.

“It’s going to be an emotional roller coaster,” she says. “The way ‘The Way of Water’ ended was unimaginably painful for the Sully family. Now, they have to make really strong decisions. Do they stay united and find common ground, or do they go their separate ways? And God knows what’s going to happen to the existing children.”

I think they do have different ideas on how this war should go as we saw even in ATWOW with Jake being tired of war (he avoids it until he can no more) and Neytiri wanting to just fight until all the invaders are gone (she's right but it's easier said then done). Fallout from Neteyam's death and the whole thing with Spider (staying with them, Quaritch) won't help either. Still, I don't see them breaking up ever. I think they will just make choices that will separate the family.

I have some ideas about what will happen but these rely on leaks (here if you want to read them) and other spoilers so only click below if you don't mind spoilers/already know.

I think the Sully family is getting physically separated - 1. because the kids are being sent away for safety and 2. because Jake is getting captured by RDA. And the strong decisions are what they have to make in each case.

After Spider gets his ability to breathe, he is set to become prime target for RDA since they would love to have that for their people. And Jake is already a prime target, even more after the SeaDragon battle and after he gets back into the fight and creating anti-RDA alliance. Sending kids away from the main forces means they are less likely makes sense but it also means their parents aren't there to protect them. I think they will all be sent back to Awa'atlu including Spider to Neytiri's displeasure.

It seems like a lot of the movie will also separate Jake and Neytiri during different events. We see only Jake is there during the initial escape from Ash Na'vi with the kids and Quaritch (Neytiri finds them later with the rescue party as Quaritch escapes with Wainfleet). This means Jake has to cooperate with Quaritch and they seem to be able to reach a temporary truce. This also shows Quaritch willing to soften his stance as he's not as hellbent on killing Jake as he was during AWOTW. He is now willing to bring him in alive (dead only if he has to).

This matters because there are indications that Jake does get captured eventually. There was a material (no removed) in behind the Scenes showing Jake in handcuffs with Quaritch and Wainfleet and attacking Parker. It is possible that it's also Jake in orange prison jumpsuit on the screenshot showing Quaritch and Lyle in some high tech room (possibly on board the Factory Ship).

So this initial moment of cooperation to save the kids probably keeps Jake alive later. I'm sure, however, it didn't make Neytiri happy that he let the man responsible for the attack that killed Neteyam just leave. Not after all they went through in that battle.

She certainly seems to disagree about sending Spider with the kids. She might be right since both he and Jake get captured by RDA, possibly because Jake finally doesn't abandon Spider, but her solution seems to be to kill Spider instead so no wonder they don't see eye to eye there. (BTW I hope the implication she would rather have him dead is either a misreading or gets toned down like Parents from Hell were).

And it seems like the kids each will go in their own direction to - Spider captured and maybe experimented on because of his new ability; Kiri investigating her new abilities; Lo'ak becoming even closer with Payakan and maybe other tulkun.

I think this capture of Jake is their big separation. I think Jake will try to keep Spider safe instead of abandoning him this time and that will get him captured. I think that finding that common ground about Spider with Quaritch will keep him alive. And I have no doubt Neytiri will lead the effort to free Jake while he will try his best to come back to his family. Possibly in that big Sea Battle we saw teased.

This might be after the rescue

Worst pain

Saw a comment under a video theorising that Spider perhaps changed his forehead pattern to resemble Neteyam in order to pay him respects and I can’t unsee it now.

Because it actually looks like Nete’s. So much like Nete’s. And it’s very characteristic of Spider to perform a quiet act of respect like this, especially if we recall the comics. Being the oldest, he perhaps even wants to invoke Neteyam’s strength through this, to weather whatever danger is ahead.

It also ties into the theme of characters wearing Neteyam’s clothes. Neytiri and Jake both carry accessories that previously belonged to their son, and Spider, perhaps not having access to any of his stuff, or not having the right to it, wears Neteyam’s memory through his stripes. His only way to honour the memory.
