\[WARNING HEAVY OVERTHINKING AHEAD\]

(Also feel free to fact check the science. I looked up as much as I could, but it’s not like I’m an expert)

Throughout the series, through the mouth of many Na'vi; it is stated that metal poisons the heart and corrupts the soul.

Fun fact, Na'vi bones are composed of naturally occuring Carbon fiber as stated in the first film.

Another fun fact, Carbon fiber, when put in contact with certain metals and electrolytes can cause something called galvanic corrosion.

On it’s own, Carbon Fiber can be fairly conductive to a medium degree and can’t really cause problems to a living entity. It’s why humans use it as artificial bone replacement.

Carbon Fiber causes this galvanic corrosion in other metals. So let’s say a Na'vi carved an arrow tip out of Unobtanium, a ionized super conductor that contains electrolytes. If effectively shot and landed; Would it leave traces of material that could then be caused to corrode on contact with Na'vi bones and travel through the bloodstream and by extension literally poison the heart?

Either way I always thought that the choice of making Na'vi bones Carbon Fiber sounded arbitrary. The fact that Carbon Fiber can damage metal either feels like a happy accident, or some sort of 4D chess.

i know a major plot point of avatar 3 was that spider could breath pandora air now and so they want to experiment on him to give the same ability to other humans so that they can make pandora habitable for humans as earth is dying, but how would they even move all these people, including families if babies and children can’t go in cyrosleep?

To be clear- she is a fantastic villain, probably one of my all-time favorites. I love to hate her, she's so evil. I know she's been through horrible trauma, but none of that excuses her cruelty and evil acts. I've seen lots of people say they love her, and I've seen several people try to downplay her villainy by using her trauma, so I'm wondering- does anyone here share the opinion that she's an awesome villain, but absolutely can't wait to see her meet her end one of the upcoming movies? She is a delight to watch, Oona does a great job. But I root for her to have an epic downfall.

📝 AUTHOR'S NOTES (Pro Tips)

• The 178-minute Version: Always watch the Collector's Edition of the first film. The scenes on Earth and at Grace's school are what connect all the comic book lore.

• Keep an eye on Kiri: From The High Ground onward, pay attention to every detail about Kiri. Her visions are key to what's to come in Avatar 4.

• The Time Skip: Save some space at the end of your collection. We'll soon have content covering the 6-year time jump between Avatar 3 and 4. Stay tuned!

Siva ko! (Let's go!) 🏹🔥🌊

do any of you have a part you skip through and don't watch in the film? my return visits (all 9 of them) i took my loo breaks in the hunting of tulkun scene and loaks holding gun under chin. those scenes i find too hard to watch so I went out aof cinema nd when watching digitally, I skip those scenes.

As the title states it’s about the first contact between the humans and the navi, ranging from the discovery of pandora, first satellite and rover sent to the planet, first manned mission to the RDA going there in masses.

sorry if this question has already been answered before, but I couldn't find anything so.... Why did RDA started hunting Tulkuns?

I mean, yes they wanted the Amrita but how did they even find out about it in the first place?

like for Unobtanium, it made sense as we can find out about the geology of planets pretty much easily. But there was no apparent reason as to why RDA wants to suddenly start whale hunting without even knowing what it could gain, let alone the research & development the acquired material needs to go through. Also, we know RDA is THE big bad corporation but they don't hunt any other sentient species across Pandora for resources, or maybe I'm missing something?

P.S.- Sorry for my bad english, it ain't my first language.
