After waiting 13 years for James Cameron to release a second It’s still a ropejust three years the third is nothing. However, it’s a good chance that even if he saw you and he likes you Avatar: The Path of Water Back in 2022, you probably don’t remember all about it Avatar: Fire and Asheswhich opens on December 19. We’ve got you covered.
The following are all the important things to remember about the avatar world entering Avatar: Fire and Ashes.
The basics
Of course if you haven’t watched the It’s still a rope Movie every time, or in a very long time, here are the best basics. The series is set on the distant planet of Pandora, inhabited by creatures called the na’vi. Tall, blue, and very connected to nature. Like, they can literally use their body to connect to nature, driven by their god, eyWa.
Of course, people then come to Pandora and try to find it for themselves. Communicating with the locals, the humans created a system where human consciousness can be transferred into a body that looks like a na’vi. This avatar system (hence the title) allows them to move around the planet freely, because the planet’s atmosphere is poisonous to humans.
Enter Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a disabled Marine who takes the avatar system well, falls in love with a Na’vi woman named NETTIRI (ZOE Saldaña) and removes the na’vi from driving people. In the end, the na’vi win, most of the people leave, and Jake becomes part of the NA’Vi. Later, people come back, but many in that little.
Children
In the second film, The way of water, We learn that Jake and Neytiri have now started a family. They have three natural children, two boys and a girl. Neteyam and Loyaki are boys, and Tuk, a girl, is the youngest. They also have a wonderful child named Kiri, who is the biological daughter of Dr. Graustine (Sigourney Weaver), a pioneer of the avatar system. He died, but somehow, he and his Navi Avatar had a child. The four na’vi children are also surrounded by a spider (Jack Champion), a small human boy from Pandora. More on that in a second.
RIP Neteyam
At the beginning of The way of water, Humans return to Pandora with a new mission: to take over the world and the navi. The film ends with another big fight, which results in Sully’s eldest son, Neteyam, being killed. It is a tragedy that was not fully addressed at first Fire and ashes.
From the forest to the sea
Neytiri, and therefore Jake and their children, grew up as part of the Omatikaya tribe. They live and thrive in the forest. But in The way of water, With people back and looking for Jake, the family leaves and enters with Metayina. They are a sea-based community. And while there was some conflict to begin with, finally, the sublys appeared fully at sea.
There’s something about kiri
As mentioned before, the family’s child, Kiri, is the avatar daughter of a human woman. We don’t know who his father is, but we do know that he has a special connection with the divinity of Pandora, the goddess. Why does it happen and how does it happen? Hopefully, we will find out.
Bad boy and his boy
The main antagonist in the It’s still a rope The movies so far are Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Quaritch is the head of the army that brings Jake to Pandora’s side, only for Jake to change conditions when he realizes their evil intentions. This is considered a betrayal and forgiveness of the Quaritch and everyone else. In the end, Jake kills the quaritch. Only, we learn later that Quaritch’s consciousness was saved and transferred to the na’vi avatar. So, now, his copy of himself as a na’vi returns to Pandora to hunt Jake.
However, before he was killed, Carhitch had a son named Miles, who was forced to live on Pandora after his father died because he was too young to return to earth. He soon befriends the aggressive children, calling him “Spider,” and eventually realizes that a new version of his father has returned from Pandora.
Why are people at Pandora?
People at Pandora for a few reasons. Another is because it’s 120 years or so in the future, and we’ve destroyed the world. So, we are trying to find a new home. Pandora seems appropriate because it is rich in valuable resources. The other is a mineral called unnobtanium, which is very important in the first film but is largely ignored in the background. But also the pandoran species of whales, the tulkun, have a substance in their bodies called Amrita, which prevents the aging of humans. It is very important, very important, and finding it allows people to continue to pursue pandoran royalty.
Can people survive Pandora?
After losing the battle with the Na’vi in the first film, most of the people return to Earth. But, nearly a decade later, they’re back more gung-ho about taking over the world. Which is strange because people can’t breathe in Pandora. They have to wear a mask at all times, which is a big problem for the spider because he always spends time with the na’vi.
Spider problems
Inability to breathe is one of the spider’s problems. He also quarreled with his “father” when he returned, and Neytiri was angry because his sons were the ones who saved him, which resulted in Neteyam’s death. They considered him as a brother, but he does not consider him as a son. Especially after that.
Payakan and tulkun
Because flower-like creatures like tulkun, which have that a amrita in them, are hunted by humans through Pandora. But they are a peaceful species and do not fight back. For a long time, man fought back, however, he was driven from his own kind. That creature is called Payakan, and he ends up meeting Jake and Neytiri’s middle child, Lo’ak. The two bonds also form a brotherhood. It is an obligation that many metkayina members have with various tulkun.
People’s Allies
Although many people left Pandora after the first war with the Na’vi, led by Jake Sully, several stayed because they were loyal to the Na’vi. We didn’t get to see much of them The way of water, but they came back this time. Mainly, it is Dr. Norm Spellman (played by Joel David Moore) who worked on the avatar program with Dr. Augustine and Dr. Max Patel (played by dileep rao).
The one wild card in this category is Dr. Ian Garvin, played by Jemaine Clement. Garvin is a marine biologist who works with people who hunt tulkun but they seem to be sick of it. His legal status is unclear.
A lot of loss
In addition to Neteyam, Jake and Neytiri lost many friends and family there, especially in the battle with the people we saw in the first movie. This is important to remember because the Na’vi believe that all live forever through EYWA.
Tork Makto
The NA’VI began to conquer the people because Jake Sully rose to the most respected and rare positions within their culture. It’s called Toruk Makto, and when NA’VI takes the largest creature from Pandora, it’s probably a dragon-like creature called Toruk. Only five Na’vi had ever done this, and this was the inspiration, uniting them all. It’s a reputation that follows Jake everywhere.
