I've never watched Avatar, ask me anything

Oh god...Welp get asking folks..




Why the hell do i do this to myself

What's the dirtiest place you ever hid an Easter egg?

Blue cat aliens, element benders, or neither?

Blue cat aliens, but depends HEAVILY on the shade of blue

Eh, you're not missing much.

Do you think it's worth seeing more than one of Tony Jaa's movies? Or just Ong Bak?

I would never go so far as to say Avatar is a bad movie, only that it should be doused in gasoline and thrown into a pit of fire.

My only question is: how did you get so wise?

To be honest. Nope.

I went to school

I've never actually hid one before but the dirtiest place I've FOUND one is underneath a pile of dirt inside my aunt's backyard

My hope was this sentence would end with the word 'underwear'.

Avatar is simply Disney's version of Pocahontas (which itself is entirely historically inaccurate) set on another planet.

After watching both movies still can't figure it out if through Tsaheylu the Na'vi could penetrate entirely a mountain banshee's mind or if it was merely a surface bonding during the flight/riding.

Is it though? Over the course of Avatar, Jake gradually becomes more na'vi and completely immerses himself in their culture and biology. He is literally reborn. In Pocahontas (1995 - I haven't seen it, but I browsed the plot in Wikipedia), John Smith returns to England in the end, leaving Pocahontas behind.

Having grown up with Star Wars, I'm a big fan of epic sci-fi movies like this. I'm looking forward to the third installment.

Everybody's talkin' bout the new sound funny, but it's still 'white savior trope' to me.

Yes, admittedly the entire "avatar" aspect of the movie (humans using a technology to take on a physical manifestation of the aliens) is unique to the story and has no analogous aspect to Disney's Pocahontas.

But the basic plot (invaders from another land who are more technologically advanced than the natives, and the natives who are more primitive & in touch with the natural world, the love story of the outsider with a native, the whole "manifest destiny" attitude of the invaders - especially the main villain - to take the land and claim it as their own while desiring to subjugate or eliminate the natives) is the same as Disney's Pocahontas.

Are these questions or statements

But have you seen the Avatar with air benders and stuff?

Wow.
That's uhm..
Wow.
