Hey! Regarding your prediction post about Avatar 3, do you think it's possible the fire Na'avi will have a different religion than the other clans, to set them apart?
Like since Na'avi cultures qre based off of human cultures, like the Maori, they could base the fire Na'avi after death cults here on Earth? Like there were some death cults in Ancient Greece, India, and in MesoAmerica I know, where the primary religious figure wasn't life giving, but death.
Also it would kind of make thematic sense to the whole fire association thing. Like fire is often associated with death and destruction, but destruction is necessary for creation/death and life are two side of the same coin and cannot exist without each other.
I think it would be interesting! Also it wouldn't be that far off since Na'avi don't have this huge cultural fear of death like modern humans do, they're more intune with their bodies so they kind of have to be intune with death as well.
I don't know something to think about!
Oh absolutely! There’s a very popular theory about them rejecting Eywa, or even being rejected by Eywa (I don’t think the latter is likely however), I think their culture and beliefs are going to be the main thing that sets them apart for sure.
As for real world inspiration, I feel like you’re on the nose with Mesoamerica! I read somewhere (I don’t remember so I apologize) that he could potentially get inspiration from the Aztecs and I think that’d be dope as hell! They’ve got Xiuhtecuhtli after all, the God of Fire and creator of life.
I could absolutely see the Fire Na’vi rejecting Eywa for their own God of Fire. And maybeee this is crazy but I could potentially see these Na’vi worshipping the sky people in a way, since they brought a lot of fire and destruction to Pandora. If that theory/prediction of Quaritch teaming up with the Fire Na’vi proves to be true, this could also be a reason for them to accept Quaritch and follow him to fight against Jake Sully in the third movie!
Interesting interesting thoughts!!
