So is Cameron trying to make a trilogy of what exactly?

Hard to know what the plot will be. I just hope it's not just 2 hours of cgi battles.
I remember seeing a "leak" of the plot here, and basically Aywah(sp?) is a primordial AI and pandorum is the modem. The na'avi were once a technological advanced civilization which devolved to what they were, and created the AI but lost control of it so to combat it they dumbed down. Aywah was also trying to create spores of itself and amalgamate the galaxy.
doesn't sound very fitting to me
sounds kino tbh but i feel that would be better as a series
When does the imperial inquisition/ armada come back and settle the score?
What is it about w40k gays and avatar? You never see star wars gays or star trek or stargate gays come into these threads to be like "uh a star destroyer with a billion turbo lasers would lay waste to a couple guys with bows and arrows, actually". Yet w40k gays do it a lot. Why? What is it about this movie that buttblasts them so much?
His point remains. Humans will eventually just bomb the na'vi from orbit and end the argument. From a historical perspective, the na'vi are on borrowed time.
If modern history is anything to go by, the only thing we'll be dropping on the Na'vi are welfare checks.
If your assertion is that the survivors will have nothing and possibly live on reservations, then pretty much. Their nation is forfeit so that it can be mined hollow.
>Avatar 2
>plays 150 years in the future
>humans turned the moon into a Black person ghetto and navi are overdosing on crack and chicken and Black person culture
>Samuel L jackson has to become the Avatar to accelerate the crack epidemic in the naavi society
Why would they need to be in orbit to bomb the Na'vi? Are helicopters not an option anymore for some reason? From the trailer, they have ground installations, wouldnt it be easier to take off from the base, fly to whatever you want to bomb, and just bomb it? Why do you need to first boost your bomber into orbit, and then boost the payload out of orbit, so your bombs actually hit the planet instead of orbiting along with your bomber? And if your idea is for the bomber to take off straight from the starship as it arrives around Pandora, without landing first, then why would you wait until you're in orbit? The starship travels at .7c, you could use that for kinetic impactors. Waiting for the ship to brake into orbit is counterproductive, you're wasting all of that potential kinetic energy.
Also, what exactly do you propose the RDA should bomb? Na'vi villages? Why ? Do you not remember the last movie? The Na'vi attack was obliterated by a wall of lead, the RDA forces that were at hells gate in the first movie were more than adequate to deal with Na'vi agression. Why do you believe that changes between the movies?
Also now that I have gotten that out of the way, my question in the previous post remains. The fact is, it's always w40k fans making this point. Star Wars and Star Trek and Stargate also have orbital bombardment, but they never bring it up. Why?
They don't need to. A comment about a large weapon is not the same as anyone claiming it's the only option. Why is that your assumption? The whole point of bringing up large artillary is that the na'vi are barely holding out while the humans haven't yet rolled out of bed to start the day.
You said
>humans will eventually bomb the navi from orbit
That doesn't sound like "they'll kill them by some sort of undetermined means". I'm sorry for answering what you type, and not what you're thinking while you type anon.
But sure, let's address your actual point then. The humans have destroyed the navi every single time there has been a fight between humans and navi. If the goal is to fight the navi, why do they need new weapons? Why do they need to change tactics? Forming a firing line and shooting into the formation of charging cavalry worked fine in the first movie, why do you think it'll stop working? I mean, large weapons are cool, I'm all for them bringing them, but I don't understand why you think the problem of the RDA is they're not killing the navi fast enough
>he doesn't know about the mechanically enhanced AMP suit dong
Rape was always an option
Humans took some losses. They don't like to do that. Bigger guns reduce it in the future.
A couple guys died to the navi, while the navi forces were completely destroyed and routed. I really don't think the RDA cares about a couple lives like that. What I'm trying to get at though, is that losing a couple of grunts is by far not the biggest problem that the RDA had that day. They got kicked off the planet, but it wasn't the navi doing it. I'm trying to get you to explain why you think killing navi better would help, when the navi were never a threat in the first place. The threat is Eywa, why are you talking about killing navi? They're irrelevant.
>2 foot long AMP suit dong
>suits have 16k bodycams on them
Oh i do anon, but now he can get away with it!
Star Trek fans are daddies, Star Wars fans are normies, Warhammer fans are nerds.
Are you dumb? A spaceship can frick your entire planet up and you can't shoot back. It can just fly home for more supplies. Ultimately spaceship wins you dense motherfricker.
only if spaceship doesn't want anything on planet.
The goal of the RDA isn't to genocide the navi, it's to get floaty rocks back to earth. Regardless of how easy it would be to genocide the navi, how does it help with getting floaty rocks back to earth?
40k is primarily liked by people who identify with the pro-human fascist theoracy that is the Imperium of Man. Humans lost the fight in Avatar, and the backlash from 40kids was so severe that it spawned the entire 'Humanity, Frick Yeah! masturbatory exercise in response.
Because 40K is specifically about a conquering human force that destroys the xeno filth. If the Na’vi existed in Star Trek they’d just be observed from a distance, maybe occasionally referenced as an example of a static civilization.
I am not worried. cameron knows how to pace and structure movies. you can be sure that avatar2 is going to have some eqic cg action but I am sure we will also spend lot of time with my wife neytiri and her children.
>her children
you go watch every marvel movie and they're all just that so
(Sigh) it’s only a matter time before he sells out to Disney
are you moronic or do you just play a moron on Cinemaphile
He's already lost. The first movie isn't badly made, but the story is woefully standard.
You can still develope this into a solid story but JC is probably to much if a boomer to to really take risks, story wise. Plus fricking Disney israelites.
He's already won. This is the decade of Cameron. Star wars and Lotr are in the dump and their corpses being defiled wantonly. Every two years James will stomp them by releasing another fantastic four hour movie in theaters.
>He's already lost.
Avatar made him a billionaire
>Star Wars
Best of Luck. Lucas cornered the nerd market. Toys.Games.Movies.Merch.
>Tolkien
Might happen. Tolkien fanbase are still very much book focused.
Competing with SW merch isn't too bad. They suffered with the last trilogy, and only evened out with filoni and Favreau coming onto the scene via baby yoda(yeed/grogu)group.
>compete with Tolkien
let's see your fantasy tomes, Cameron
Based. Imagine how good LotR and SW could've been if they didn't go woke and shit.
>I have a story to tell
vs
>I want to have a story to tell
These egomaniaca don't seem to recognize how important it is to autistically document every stray thought about your world and to have the stories arise from the setting, and then when you have an opportunity to present one of your stories, it should be challenging to select a slice of the grand plot that doesn't exceed accepted runtimes. Every franchise that didn't do this ended up a total clusterfrick of retcons and contradictions.
what are the na'vi tax policies?
They share everything with the community, but own nothing.
>They share everything with the community, but own nothing.
and it works because they were the only race on the planet. weird how when another race showed up everything went to shit.
>what are the na'vi tax policies?
Na'vi don't have a word for "tax".
they own nothing, and are happy
>pentalogy
I unironically think that this setting has potential if they put the Na’vi and humans on good terms by the end of the second movie. It’s sci-fi mixed with low fantasy, that’s fun, if nothing else it would be a great universe for a ttrpg.
Yeah I hope that the sequels have more nuance than "humans bad, na'vi good".
It’s the closest thing we have to a specbio franchise. And the sophonts still suck.
>I unironically think that this setting has potential if they put the Na’vi and humans on good terms by the end of the second movie
Reminds me of Zentradi from Macross.
Imagine dating a zentradi
wish they had spent more time with these interactions
also the Na'vi should be taller
how tall?
that looks like a good size
It's just not a believable end. Humanity doesn't have it in them. One human can be nice, but humanity as a whole will always favor profits. Even unto their own destruction.
I hope the movies make things more complicated than there being one faction “The Na’vi” and another faction “the humans”.
>Mental image of na'vi game of thrones.
>I hope the movies make things more complicated than there being one faction “The Na’vi” and another faction “the humans”.
Well we're getting a new tribe of Na'vi. No idea how they tie into the movie though.
yo where are all the blackvatars?
They're all black
homie has it not crossed your mind that humans and navi are damn near the same physiologically? im sure there will be some exploration of the genesis that is shared between humans and na'vi
The whole fricking planet was bioengineered. You think the biological USB occurs naturally?

show me some meandraco shit
>trilogy
More than 3 are planned.
I will only watch it if the actual human military show up and kill all the Navi for massacring their peaceful mining operation.
That's whats going to happen. Trail of tears type shit. Then the Na'vi will take a page from Native Americans and open casinos and pic related
>white man making movies about "native people but aliens".
Movie will flop and he will be cancelled.
Does anyone really give a shit about the world building from the avatar movies?
Like its been what? 14 years now?
What the frick is that moron even doing for so long?
>hey james, we all thought you took your long ass time between titanic and avatar, time you could have spent on delivering kino! and after a decade of waiting we got a wet fart!
>oh yeah? hold my beer!
you were so upset about avatars success that you sharted yourself?
The Navi having a four limbed body shape, whereas all the other fauna on Pandora have a six limbed body shape, gives away that the Navi are ancient aliens and not native to Pandora. So it'll be fun to see the characters discover that at least.
The monkeys have halfway fused limbs, they're supposed to be some sort of missing link
I liked that and the ruins implying they're post-modern or something
>inb4 LET A homie IN pasta
the story is about pic related /misc/incarnate waking up as a literal space Black person so he makes it lifes mission to get revenge on Sully, will probably involve defiling his wife since he can infact rape her now
>why don't they nuke the entire planet
They want the rocks that the planet is made of.
If they were going to come up with some devastating evil scheme, it could possibly be to change the atmosphere over to Earth standards, which can't be healthy for the local wildlife. It would be the kind of win-button weak spot that Hollywood movies use to let the underdog win.

Anon...
You can sell the rock. The other stuff is just free junk, until you can figure out how to bottle and patent it.
>until you can figure out how to bottle and patent it
Yeah. And then you can also sell it. Unless you piss your pants because the navi killed a couple grunts whose only value was the AM-fuel expended to send them to Pandora and nuke the whole planet, in which case you get nothing.
Good thing that humans are never short-sighted about destroying the environment so that they can extract immediate profits.
Kek an actual good point
I don't think you realize how long 12 million years are. Even for very rare events, you'll see a bunch of them. Living on a moon of a gas giant will also protect them from a lot of shit that we on earth are vulnerable to, like comets and asteroids. They also have the advantage of a living planetary god, humans don't have that. Sure, that wouldn't protect them against a gamma ray flash from a super nova, but that would probably also kill the humans in the movie.
You forgot stargate fans. Which I suppose makes sense.
Stargate fans are based.
the funny part is they didn't need to start shit with the indians at all they could have mined for the rock at literally any other place than the one the space indians were at
as they did up until that point
Yeah, they mention it's the biggest deposit 200km around the base. Okay, drive 250km then
homies are still doubting Cameron's ability to make a sequel, I don't understand how, but that's how it is.
>a terrible natural disaster is about to hit Pandora
>na'vi are powerless, making humans the only ones capable doing something about it
>humans won't, unless they can stripmine the shit out of the unobtanium deposits, as well as colonize parts of the planet in return
>drama ensues
Na'vi society is 12 million years old, evidently they can handle themselves.
Truly massive disasters happen over longer timespans, against which they would be utterly powerless, since they don't actually understand nature. They just live with it. And when nature finally b***h slaps their special snowflake of a biosphere with it's uncaring fury, their onesided harmony with it will be worthless.
Enhance.
nussy
i need the bush
imagine the smell
These movies are going to be the biggest bomb in history.
I remember people on Cinemaphile making this exact post before the first one came out.
The first one hinged on the 3D. Nobody actually cared about anything else, it was the visual experience. There aren't actual Avatar fans. He's not going to be able to replicate that lightning in a bottle again. 150mil domestic tops
you can't show half-naked africans doing tribe shit anymore cause that's racis so you paint them blue and call them "aliens" n shieet
how do you frickers find those things attractive

>Even in space, humans have the biggest dicks.
Can't say I'm surprised. It works that way on Earth with primates.

This is RDA propoganda remember though lol
Idk man, I remember watching their loincloths closely: the males have very little bulge.
>I remember watching their loincloths closely
Of course you did gay
Not a gay, just a loincloth inspector
>humans have bigger brains and bigger dicks
ok now ill watch your movie james, if only he could make the na'vi women not utter chestlets
yeah what's the deal with no blue booba?
breasts are made of fat, and na'vi have very low body fat
so no big booba unfortunately (unless pregnant na'vi are an exception)
>this is what humans actually believe
why are humans so pathetic bros?

can't, this is a blue board

>Sigourney dies
>Tsutey dies
>Norm's avatar gets injured
>The tribe loses their home, women and children unceremoniously killed
Just rewatched it and come to think about it, this movie was miles better than anything MCU has shat out. It actually has consequences and makes you invested in these characters, who do not quip like morons in the middle of a serious scene.
Sigourney is back in the sequel
She didn't die, Moa't said so plainly. She's with Eywa.
If that headline is true (lol) and not just click bait, a story about the Navi before humans landed would be way more interesting than Dances With Wolves in space. That would be more akin to Tolkien.
I predict a bad end. This will get compared to Empire Strikes Back.
What's his problem?
A part of me is bothered to see a normal human hanging around. Is this some kind of forced diversity quota?
Avatar drivers were allowed to stay too
>manlet

He's fricked without some voodoo magical consciousness transfer.
He must have permanent indents in his face from that mask
Where did he find hair products?
I dont think one needs hair products for dreadlocks
Hair doesn't do that naturally.
Dreadlocks are twisted, knotted hair. People with very curly hair can even grow them naturally if they never brush their hair.
I'm calling it now he's gonna join the humans at some point
>What's his problem?
He gets adopted by Jake and Neyney.
Eyebrows girl is cute. I wonder who she is.
I assume she's their hybrid offspring.
I thought so at first, but they only have one daughter and you can see her briefly when they're inside the thing being flooded and it's not her.
true, Tuktirey is much younger
That's Sigourney Weaver's character. Wears her necklace and has the same pattern of stripes on her face. Spooky Eywa reincarnation shit.
Based and robust
The only reason I'm going to watch this movie is because of robust anon. I don't care about the plot, the director, or the reasons behind any of it. This is all for you, robust anon. Inspired me to be more.

Hot damn
She's been in a billion dollar making movies now. All of them are ensemble casts.
While she didn't do anything special in Star Trek and Guardians, she legit stole the show in Avatar.
sorry, green autist > blue hippie
avatar sequels better have fertile preggo Neyney tummy
Sadly not, her youngest kid is like six. We do get pregnant navi though
flashback scenes and/or her having another baby I hope
preggers is played by Kate Winslet I believe.
Jesus Christ those nips.
I never realized how hot she is
She's not even at her peak there. I first saw her around 2005 when I was 13 years old, in that movie "Haven" with Orlando Bloom called Haven and in "Guess Who" with Ashton. I was amazed that a black girl could have such delicate looks. Needless to say she played a huge role in what I find attractive as adult.
This was in the behind the scenes. Is he saying he just wants to make Predator in Space.
How would you feel if the na'vi were picking off and eating a random human ever now and then?

And explore what exactly? Barren rocky worlds? Or more gas giants? He’s either gonna pull a Azminov plot or Frank Herbert eye brow raise
>”Turns out pandora wasn’t the only planet in alpha Centauris habitable zone.”
How does anyone even care about this bland shit? The only thing the forst one had going for it was the quality of animation and visual effects for the time it came out coupled with WOAAAAHH LOOK AT THIS NEW 3D MOVIE TECH WE HAVE. Rewatching it with a more recent perspective it's just an incredibly long and boring movie with the most bog-standard plot and characters that are honestly hard to give a single frick about.
The trailer for 2 didn't have a single thing in it that caught my attention, it really just seems like "pretty colors in HD, the sequel" yet people are going crazy like this is some amazing release. I guess names really are everything when it comes to normies.
One day, you will get so tired from this whole rat racing simulation of life that the cynicism won't cut it anymore, and you'll be looking for any kind of hope and light you can find. It's a good movie, not perfect by any stretch, but it made many people genuinely smile and reflect a little, meaning that it was worth making.
I'm not being cynical, I'm just stating the truth. Avatar both back then and even today is held as this masterpiece of a movie yet when you actually sit down and watch it nothing in it stands out. It's like a 2 hour long tech demo with the most cookie-cutter "colonizers/humans bad" plot imaginable. For a movie that supposedly took an extremely long time for Cameron to bring to life from the dreams he had it really didn't deliver. If I wanted a space movie that fit your description I'd watch Wall-e, because despite being a Pixar movie for kids it unironically has more depth and soul than Avatar.
>getting filtered this hard
I mean I understand not everyone is a science fiction fan, but damn
It's unironically deeper than it looks, unfortunately, this movie suffers from being edited to oblivion, it shoud've been closer to 4 hours long, including Jake's Ayahuasca/DMT trip that was linked here
The problem with that is that it's praising a movie for things that weren't in it. I honestly do not care if JC wrote 17 tomes on the extended lore of Avatar if the end result after several years doesn't have a 10th of the lore and themes. Same goes for the new movie, over a decade to make yet it still seems like the visuals are all that's going for it.
>over a decade to make
well let's see...
-writing 4 movies
-prepping making 4 movies at the same time
-inventing tech for at least 1 of the movies
-pandemic
-the sale of the studio that funded the movies
no wonder it took so long.
>inventing tech for at least 1 of the movies
Such as?
he had to invent nfts
>Such as?
For Avatar: The Way of Water they had to invent an underwater mocap system.

>Don't forget going on adventures to the bottom of the ocean
amazing that he's basically doing that shit in his off time.
ever hear of the concept of "going native?" there aren't a bunch of movies dealing with that.

Yeah, makes sense since humans built this.
>Humans allowed to stay
>also allowed to transgress against the earth-mother
???
Look man if you're going to try and poke holes in the movie's plot at least read a summary or something
Avatar was a fluke.
It skilfully showcased modern 3D technology at a time when people were excited about the novelty.
It would absolutely flop today and I doubt people are interested in the sequel.
3D is dead.
people have said every james cameron movie was a fluke success.
it'll make money. lots of stupid shit does. enjoy your blue cat waifus.
>w-well yea it'll be successful b-but it still s-sucks
lol okay

mating pressed by BHC, Eywa planned it all to give her a fetish for human men so she would fall for Jake
I love acid trips. That was unironically kino.
Yeah I can see why they ended up not having Jake fricking astral projecting in the movie, but I would have loved to see that scene fully rendered
Yeah I think the final movie did it right for the overall pacing and such.
I hope they pick up the idea for the other movies and maybe even project more meaning into it that'll help the lore going forward.

So? The vast majority of human characters, or rather the most important humans are evil and will apparently continue to be evil in the sequels
>So? The vast majority of human characters, or rather the most important humans are evil and will apparently continue to be evil in the sequels
The humans on Pandora are mostly bad because of what they continue to do, not because of what they are.
Warhammer is one of those properties that gets bogged down by annoying loregays who insist you read their 500 paragraph wiki entries to properly understand the universe while they refuse to use said tools to create any form of compelling narrative or literary experience.
Loregays for 40k are especially obnoxious, because the official lore constantly contradicts itself and introduces new information or retcons that result in things that are physically impossible, like an ancient alien empire waging a war spanning the entire galaxy without FTL that lasted less time that it would take for their ships to reach most of the battlefields they supposedly fought at, or space marines rapidly oscillating between posthuman badasses who operate in bulletime wearing armor that can survive falls from orbit at terminal velocity one minute, and the next that space space marine gets surprised and shot dead by a normal-ass dude with a shotgun while still in said armor.
Because the lore is so inherently contradictory, EVERY 40k fan engages with their own specialized headcanon to rationalize it instead of the actual material. And no two people have the same headcanon, so they are always arguing about it.
What these people fail to understand is that 40k was never meant to be taken seriously.
In the beginning that was true, but I would argue that along the way 40k started taking itself seriously. I suspect that it correlates heavily with when 40k fans started joining the company and the inmates started running the asylum, like how Chaos went from saturday morning villians as one of many antagonist factions to every other army getting shafted to make way for "Did you know that Chaos is omnipotent and the best ever and has already won and everything you call victory is just an illusion? Its true!" nulore pushed by self-admitted chaosgays heading the franchise.
They should have had equally evil law lords like in Elric but the warp magic bullshit only ever helps chaos
>So is Cameron trying to make a trilogy of what exactly?
Try 5 movies total.
Just in time for the Thwaites meltdown.
>Just in time for the Thwaites meltdown.
what is that?
I, like many people, don't give the slightest frick about any of the Avatar sequels.
The first one was interesting in that it utilized the then novel 3D media format in a fairly interesting way.... the movie wasn't exactly bad. But it was hardly memorable or inspiring.
Is anyone really excited about it?
>Is anyone really excited about it?
Yes. And just because you claim you're not, doesn't mean you speak for a majority of the people.
kek relax soiboy
>Oh my god! you don't hate everything that I hate!?!?! How dare you!!!!!
yikes.
I wouldnt call myself really excited, but I am interested enough to see what special effects advances they have made this time that took so long. Avatar 1 broke ground in terms of what people imagined CGI could accomplish in a film. I'm willing to see whether they can do it again. But Im not invested much in the world, story, or characters beyond the shitpost where I explain that the MC never betrayed humanity, he was very clearly mindfricked by the planet.
>the shitpost where I explain that the MC never betrayed humanity, he was very clearly mindfricked by the planet
He legitimately them nothing, he was a mercenary for cash, who's pension didn't even cover a surgery to fix his spine. The Earth is all but dead anyways and he, along with other avatar operators who also stayed are doing much better on Pandora, fricking blue pussy and singing kumbaya.
The movie establishes that the Navi domesticate and control animals by plugging their head tendrils into them. The animal is wild and untamed and hostile before, but once gentled in this way is loyal for the rest of its life. Its previous will and personality overwritten by the superior will of their Navi controlled.
Jake is disillusioned with the prospects of the mission, he admits that they have nothing the Navi want, but he is never anything but loyal to the humans. Until he plugs his head tendrils into the giant data node connected to the planet in the sacred grove. After that, he is 100% on the side of the planet and the first thing he does when he wakes up the next morning is attack a human machine.
Jake was domesticated by the planet and forced to serve it, the same way that the animals are forced to serve the navi. He only thinks he has free will, his mind has already been altered.
If MCU is 100% escapism. Double that with Avatar.
I am going to frick those blue children
