r/Avatar

After watching the movies like a bagillion times I saw this mangkwan that is just too cute to handle..I’ve been obsessing over him that I could note out some differences that hes a lot calmer than most of the background mangkwan characters you see in the movie he’s just a baby!!!

This looked really cool but I wasn’t sure about the price? Original sale price on the back was $18. Does anyone know if this is official and do you think it’s worth $29? I see it’s out of print, but prices online are allover the place. I left it behind because they were about to close, but not sure if I should go back for it tomorrow.

Idk how he found it and especially for so cheap (50€) but I'm the happiest guy in the world right now- my birthday is in a week but he couldn't wait to gift it to me and I'm literally crying i love him so much- my avatar collection is getting bigger thanks to him (half of my avatar stuff is gifts from him he's the best I'm so in love 😭)

Don't get me wrong she was absolutely awesome to see and she did have cool scenes like the chase with Neytiri and also The fight during the Wind traders scene but like I just feel it wasn't shown as much as I was expecting and having more fights would've been cool. Honestly i would've loved to see more with it Maybe a flashback Of Varang taming it or Scenes of Varang interacting with it like Neytiri with Sa'ta but I feel like there's more to the nightwraith For future movies.

I got the direhorse finished, moving on to hexapedes. Im thinkn about doin a picture with hexapedes, titanotheres and possibly sturmbeests. The other option is a hunt scene between a hexapede and a viperwolf pack. These r some weird little creatures. Lemme kno which one i should do!

When The Way of Water was released, a lot of people were saying, "Tsireya is Moana if she had been born a Na'vi instead of a human."

lowk rushed but who cares

Can’t wait to watch this at home and see the 4K transfer! 🥶

The slipcover has sadly changed from Avatar & Avatar: TWoW’s but nonetheless I’m very excited to have all three movies in physical form. I really needed another rewatch of Fire and Ash so this arrived at the perfect time

Rant below:

The craziest part is people saying the Na’vi struck first, I mean OBVIOUSLY? The RDA wanted to destroy their sacred tree? Literally destroy their land?

I’d bet if it was reversed with the Na’vi wanting to destroy a sacred landmark on Earth & overall destroying parts of our nature, people would be bending over backwards to defending the human population “striking first” on the basis of well, it’s different because it’s us! So it isn’t hypocrisy at all.

Then there was someone saying well, the RDA was peaceful when the Na’vi, specifically the Mangkwan, cooperated. The FUCK? Dude, the guys who catcalled Neytiri couldn’t even tell who their actual allies are? Neytiri walked in with the paint in the wrong places & a FULL HEAD OF HAIR, a bow & arrow that doesn’t even resemble the Mangkwan’s!

Also they aren’t in any capacity actually “peaceful” with the Mangkwan as Edie Falco (forgot her character’s name sorry) straight up calls them savages? Hello? They also only align with the Mangkwan because they’re willing to help them brutalize other Na’vi clans! When it’s convenient the RDA will happily do so to the Mangkwan because they see them as literal savages.

Avatar is so clearly in your face about how colonialism, racism, large scale corporations, & greed is harmful, the movie is so *full* of analogies based on how real world indigenous people are treated, capitalism, & propaganda & still, STILL people just miss the point. I think that goes to show how much white washed history/propaganda has conditioned people.

Seems like where Jake and Neytiri first became a couple might be a bit more frequented, and potentially could’ve been caught.
