Me when I saw the Sully kids

vs

When I heard them call Jake Sir and saw him completely suck at parenting

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"

I hope in the sequels we get even a glimpse of the hell that Spider lived before his official adoption. Whether in flashbacks or by Eywa's hand. The comic did an excellent job of showing just how horrible it got.

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.

I predict that one of the future James Cameron Avatar movies will break box office records but have a budget so big that the movie is considered a box office bomb.

Official Avatar 3 title just dropped!

"AVATAR : FIRE AND ASH"

Also new concept art for the film!

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.

With 1997's Titanic, James Cameron became the first director in Hollywood history to take a film across the $1 billion threshold at the worldwide box office. Now, that's only his third biggest movie -- both Avatar and its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water have surpassed it, earning $2.9 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. Of course, the Avatar series isn't finished yet! There are three more films already in the works, due to be released next year, in 2029, and in 2031, all produced, written, and directed by Cameron. In fact, he's in the full-time Avatar business for now, with no other projects on his calendar. But that's a position he's happy to be in right now, because, as Cameron said he loves the Avatar universe, and he's thrilled to be able to keep making films within it.

Avatar: Fire and Ash is scheduled to open in theaters on December 19, 2025, and the first two Avatar films are currently streaming on Disney+ and available on DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K, and most digital platforms.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) - REVIEW

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
