What are your thoughts on wildlife depiction in both films, as it is nice to see vast Brazilian rep? We need more films like Rio 2 and KOATI. Seems like Ainbo has a similar Brazilian animal rep too, with Vaca the tapir (who named a tapir after unrelated animals is funny).

I have to clarify specific fans to animal lovers only because animation fans see Rio 2 like a dead-dove fanfic just because Jewel encourages Blue to leave his comfort zone. Bro, I went to grad school because my mom encouraged me in a similar how Jewel is nothing toxic.

For you reclusive animation fans, keep in mind Saldenia wrote Rio 2 to share his love with wildlife for families. He didn't know that 20-year-old fans of Rio needed more comforting stories to prevent provoking you guys. That's why Richard the Stork and Zambizia are better options than Rio 2 for you because is about an underdog getting comfort without going to uncomfortable territories.

I know Ghbli fans have been comparing him to Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro, but his real-life counterparts are so cute.

Bison calf, white bison, and this black-nosed furry potato from the French side of Swiss

makes sense to fit his sheep modif

Based on logistics and science, Red macaws are more aerodynamic with streamlined bodies and large wings to prevent drag and improve.

Red..... let's just say Cardel ate way too many seeds that look more like a cube with wings

Note- just to be clear, I'm a fan of Avatar Legends franchise and A Song of Ice and Fire related media.

This is just mocking Netflix executives for style over substance when copying its grittiness. Any changes are nothing to rant about but cinematography is mid and Netflix executives is to blame.

Before anyone asks, just to clarify that I see SLoP 2 as an okay follow-up to the first film, but subplots feel disconnected, and Flush Pets are missing. Saving grace is Gidget being a ball of fluff.

Pets on the train, on the other hand, is a more optimistic version of Over the Hedge (because I hated that Karen from that 2006 film for drifting my relations with my aunt), feels like a love letter to Mission Impossible (I'm a casual fan) and Fast and Furious (my sis is a fan).

No, I'm not saying this just because she REALLY likes Quatritch or justifying her psychopathy. She is this fierce, scary shaman because the volcanic eruption shaped her perception of reality. As a coping mechanism for trauma, she worshiped the flame based on the eruption that cost her village. She drove what remained of her clan into a feral state as they became so detached from Eywa. Few Na'vi tamed a nightweith, just look at her, she looks like she tamed a Pterasaur.

I think she's as well-written as Koba; both suffered from trauma that drove them to psychopathy with nihilistic ideology. When Varang said 'BURN, the smallest one,' it gave very Koba vibes. They both use aggression as a coping mechanism, which makes them sadistic as well. They both love metallic weapons, so they use them for destructive reasons. They both got humbled by the actual savior," You're not an ape/ Get away from mother.....BITCH'

Yeah, people need to stop glazing at POTA because there's similar intertribal drama in Avatar films like Varang's beef with God. For love of Eywa, why not like both?

Proximus Ceaser does have similar nihilistic 'survival of the fittest' ideas, but he's more about feeding his own ego just to control gorillas like some classic Roman tyrant. Yeah, he's a philosopher about humanity's downfall and the rise of apes, but he uses it as a means of victimization to control others for his own gain. Is like he's telling a sob story about how humans abuse monkeys so he can gain the upper hand to control the gorillas.

I'm not saying Proximus is a bad character; I do love his flamboyant personality as it gives theatrical flair. But Varang has this emotional anchor that makes me get hooked.

FR They're so cool and very cute

Tragodistis- rewritten as a Parasoluphus x Euoplocephalus mix since I love spec-evo take on how they thrive with beautiful singing stills from Para.

Gorgosuchus- add Gorgosaurus in the future, but this hybrid is a mix of Pestosuchus. (or just put Pestosuchus with the head of Gorgosaurus in the future update for JWE 3 as a reference).

Ankylodactylus- They're very cute, but for symbiosis sake is mix of ankylosaurus and pteradyclus

Indotaurus- but as an alternative skin of Scopus rex or a balanced version of a feral beast

For the love of Rexy, include more Permian animals like gorgonops and Edaphocevia to make this beautiful beast. Looks like it came straight from the Avatar films.

Other Permian DLC animals are Diploculus to create this cute hybrid with compies

Ankyntosaurus- my fav and blends well with stegoceratops and Spinoceratops.

Utinex- mix of Utahraptor and adorable dracored. Looks like tauntaun

thoughts because JWE 3 deserve have intresting hybrids

Whipfang- I wonder if Kimatire harvest venom harmlessly by distracting it with rhythmic dancing like a snake charmer before milking it, since they use it for medicine.

Chameleon- I have a soft spot for them because of their cuttlefish-like behavior (camouflage). I'm glad there's Windray- the domestic version of cuttlefish, because they're so cute. (Give me Windray plushies)

BONUS- Flying cheetah (it could be similar, if this case it makes crawlers gorgonapside-coded) ngl

Redesign??

It would be cool if Whipfang looked more crocodile-snake mix than a snake turtle. Think of Pestosuchus (even with a tyrannosaur head, but still snake-like- Gorgosaurus looks good enough). My redesign of Whipfang is similar to this fictional hybrid from the Jurassic World games, even the teeth that look more like boar's.

Chameleons are so precious that I don't want to hurt them, make it omnivore like a raccoon. Redesign to with Spinoceratops to resemble more of a chameleon, but retain the adorable cuttlefish mouth and butt.

Not just saying that the theory is cheap or removes true agency of Na'vi, don't get me wrong especally Three Laws, but there are several reasons why that theory makes zero sense.

Fungus in real life has symbiotic relations with tree roots that fertilize the trees by giving them minerals from the earth. That is called mycorrhiza symbiosis. Why do you think that colorful fungi in real life manage to grow right underneath the canopy while getting eaten by animals to begin with?

Animals on Pandora feed on her and her plants. Once Hexapede and Soundblast collusius fed on plants that Eywa depended on, they gained a symbiotic mutualism as their waste returned to fertilize the soil to recycle. This explains the quru- a fragment of Eywa for feeding on her; in the games, it shows that Zakrus explicitly feeds on fungus (likely Eywa) in exchange for milk for the Na'vi.

Zakru, while Na'vi is casually milking the cute elephant for fresh dairy for the village,' she's tasty with a hint of earthy tones and salt.'

Na'vi, who are taking care of plants to maintain botanical health, as it looks lovely to look at when is possess vibrant colors. But as a gathering society, they harvest fruits that have a fragment of Eywa (seed). In return, they get kuru to improve their connection with Eywa.

Mo'at, 'what lovely sun lily, Neytiri. You nurture it well, alright, let's finish with that pumpkin soup with tapir cream while it's cooking.'

There's no evidence that Eywa is bending against their will like some satanic ritual just because a piece of her is literally inside them, because there is no mind-bending harvest.

Is less of a hivemind and more of a theology of Catholicism, Shamanism from native americans (gathering memories of all things), and philosophy from Hinduism's Bakti (Shakti's universal bind). Yes, Na'vi have free will as they can make choices based on their actions as long there ancestors teach them within the Spirit World.

Eywa's planet binding is similar to Sahkti, being the universal mother as well as being Pantheistic from animist roots. Na'vi's spiritual role is to be detached from any desires.

Before anyone asked, I do have issues with Eywa's three laws especally I love lore from Sony's Horizon games (film adaptation coming next year with Avatar-like vibs to feel mech-animals alas 'colors of the wind'. Yep I'm one of those players who get way to investive but in methodal-RPG than obcessive LARP) because it feels Native American sterotype that Na'vi are primative with hint of superstitions or regressive (or is it reclusive).

No I'm no apologing to the occulus rift guy for having similar issues with Three Laws of Eywa because he saying pro-colonist bs just because Na'vi didn't evolve guns to defend themselves or compare it to certain religouse extremist that Pandora deserve to be plundered.

Give me your thoughts as I explain alot why this theory makes no sense while I explain real biological and spiritual factors about Eywa. Yeah I might similar ideas but that that extrem like she's hivemind parasite like Tyrannide.

I do like the idea of Stolas writing rom-dramedy erotica about Blitz

'One-of-those' means obsessive feelings with Blitz, as they believe that Blitz is in love with a hopeless romantic observer

context-

Let's address that Emmeline has a monster fetish (romantically loves eldritch horrors and demons)

Stolas lives on rom-com or romantic fantasy since he reads erotica as a coping mechanism for his loneliness.
