    Not sure if I missed something, but is there a reason that Spider was side-eying Neytiri before she took him as a hostage? I guess she did have berserker rage mode on, but it almost felt like something got edited out to me.

     

    Overall, I'm so down to see more of this world now, which I actually wasn't after the first one.

     

    I also noticed that shot of Spider looking at her and thought it was kind of odd. But certainly in hindsight he has reasons to mistrust her.

     

    I really liked Lo'ak. 

     

    Still thinking the initial teaser trailer was perhaps better than the movie itself at "showing not telling" the vibes.

  2. I think the movie had too much plot. I would have preferred more time just vibing. 

     

    Like they mention the magic blood as a contrivance for the bad guys to have a reason to kill the whales but like, there's zero exploration of it outside that scene. Multiple examples of basically one liners explaining away important details [if you're trying to tell a story]. Just give me Baraka on Pandora please.

    Separately I feel like there's a lot of discourse on Spider? Like people are making him out to be the worst POS person of all-time, a disgusting traitor etc. Really??? He's a kid abandoned literally by his species on a foreign planet, who grows up with the Na'vi who, even though they are somewhat nice to him, do not consider him true family (I find Jake to be really hypocritical here), at some points Neytiri litrally trying to kill him to show how much she doesn't consider him family. So when someone tries to be his father figure, not a surrogate (ironic I guess because it's a memory surrogate), it seems fairly natural for a young person's emotions to get confusing like that???? Not that I care about this discourse at all lol. 

     

    Edit: And also in addition to Neytiri doing some questionable things (see above) in this movie I'm still disappointed she's basically relegated to being a side character for the first 2 hours.

    Unfortunately this forum remains one of the all time most cancerous mobile experiences. An ad every two posts, plus massive top and bottom banner ads? And not just ads but highly animated ads. Can I at least change the popcorn background in settings somewhere?

    Or instead, sign up for a donation tier. Forum databases, design, and hosting with the number of features as this site has don't pay for themselves. 

     

    Otherwise, please support the community by not using or promoting ad-evasion plug-ins or browsers.

    I don't know, there's ads and then there's whatever is going on with this forum specifically. It's like auto-full screen pop ups that don't easily close, then five ads between each comment in a thread, just weird spacing all around, just.. not great Jim :(
