Do you think Norm has ever tried on Na’vi clothing or hunting?
He’s still so human even as an avatar even after 15 years. He definitely seems fine being so human, but I’d have expected him to integrate a bit more into Na’vi culture. But I guess it might be out of respect. But he does have a Na’vi mate after all, and I think he’d look good not human clothes.

To those who experienced the Avatar (2009) theater craze firsthand: What was the atmosphere actually like back then?
Hey everyone,
Looking at the box office history, it blows my mind that Avatar made nearly $3 billion worldwide and remains the highest-grossing movie of all time.
Since I wasn't able to see it in theaters during its original run (or was too young to remember), I’d love to hear from people who were there in 2009.
What was the hype like leading up to the release vs. after people actually started seeing it?
How hard was it to get IMAX 3D tickets?
Did the visual effects and 3D genuinely feel as mind-blowing back then as the media made it out to be?
How did the energy in the theater compare to other big event movies like Avengers: Endgame or Star Wars?
Would love to hear your memories, theater experiences, or how many times you ended up going back to rewatch it!
Do you think any Na’vi have been taken back to earth?
With how many humans have made it out to Pandora, I’d imagine at least one Na’vi has been brought to Earth alive. They have to have studied a live specimen, though I’m sure most of it was on Pandora. Though it would be interesting to have a small Na’vi community on earth now that the RDA have been there a while.
Trying to build a roleplay idea off this.
Quartich and two dogtags?
I first noticed this when I was looking for Avatar merch to buy (specifically something small and easy like a necklace), but I think Quaritch has two dog tags. And maybe that sounds dumb and everyone else has already figured this out, but at first I thought it was a discrepancy with sellers and was confused. The numbers, blood type, and just general set up of each tag is different so I was confused how people were getting different information. I now own the recom tag but I just want to make sure it's not wrong or non-canon or made up.
In AWOW he has a recom tag - which is made apparent in the visual dictionary. In AFAA he gives Spider his former human dog tag which clearly has his face on it and this is present in the visual dictionary as well.
I assume this was done on purpose and planned out, but I wonder why do the numbers change? I'm not an expert on military IDs, I understand the blood type changing (he's a different species now, they made him in a lab etc.) but I don't understand why the numbers change.
My Neytiri's themed Ita Bag
hii, I'm making an Ita bag from Neytiri, for now it looks like this!!! (In case you don't know, an Ita bag is an oversized bag, it's more popular in China) 😺
Why do you think Norm kept his human body?
It seems like so much work, and seems like a struggle to manage both bodies safely. I bet his family might find it weird.
He’s also super cute in his avatar form.
Imagine if this happened in the movies
They discover this isolated ancient cave which has been sealed shut for like 10,000 years and inside they find evidence of a long lost Na'vi tribe who made paintings in it. The paintings show Eywa inside Pandora but it also shows Polymphus and all the other moons in the system with their own Eywa inside them. Plus all the celestial bodies are very accurate as if drawn from space.
What the hell happened?!
I built the Tree of Souls in my Minecraft survival!
Since my skin is a Na’vi, I decided to theme my world as well!! I’ll definitely add more locations soon, what should I add??
A realistic drawing I made of Jake Sully – Avatar A month of work; colored pencils used.
Last Played since 1969
Apparently I haven't played this since 1969. A few months after the Apollo Moon landings.
Photobash of my Oc! Crawlie_Kiddo on Instagram
Her name is Itipa! She's the Tsahik of my fan clan that live in the mountains. She's actually much darker but it was hard to get her exact shade so this will have to do lol, let me know what y'all think!
What are your expectations for Tuk as a teen/young adult in Avatar 4?

Fan-made Tribes, Give me your recommendations
Hi, I'm new here, and wanted to start a discussion. So I was thinking about OCs and saw some of this awesome Northern Tribe inspired by the Iñupiat (Inuit) and other northern Tribes.
I myself have Native blood on my maternal Grandmother's side, but the three tribes we know of are all North-Eastern Hunter-gatherers so are very similar the tribes we see the most.
On my Father's side we have Warrior Clans of both Scottish and Irish Origin, possible Norse/viking heritage, and a blacksmith put into the Tower of England for not sharing his metalworking secrets with the King. To that end, I imagined a tribe of Na'vi inspired by Gaelic and Germanic tribes, with a less direct connection to Eywa in the cold North. They harvest iron for their weapons and adornments and probably put more emphasis on the masculine/aggressive Polyphemus, the planet they orbit.
Back on topic, that got me thinking: What other tribes have Fans made to represent their heritage? Nearly every culture on our planet got their start in tribes, so are there any cool fan-made tribes that you've seen and enjoyed?
I suppose there might be ones with no historic basis, I think it'd be cool to discuss those too, but I imagine someone's made an OC to represent the Bedoin, the Anasazi, the Yao, the Tuvans, or the Zulu.
Or, maybe this will be your sounding board that just inspired an OC tribe. I did smack you in the face with my idea, so it seems only fair.
So what about Spider’s new tattoo?
This is the clearest picture I could find.
So Spider seems to have a Metkayina tattoo, it appears after the Sully family has returned to Awa’atlu. If I recall correctly it can be first seen when Spider bonds with an ilu for the first time.
I was wondering, where did this tattoo come from? When did he get it?
I can’t really see the Metkayina giving him a tattoo, considering Ronal’s opinion and also how sacred and important these tattoos are to their culture. I also can’t see Spider painting one on himself like he does with the stripes, considering that the tattoo has to be earned.
Considering the placement and going off what we know about the meanings behind the tattoos of the Metkayina, a tattoo on the arm would represent the outer seawall and would be given to reef na’vi that often spend time in the open ocean, for example a skilled deep-sea hunter would have more tattoos on the arms and legs instead of the chest (which represents the safe embrace of the lagoon and the island) or the face (which is given once a Na’vi has come of age).
Perhaps it could have been given to him due to the gift Eywa granted him? The shape sort of resembles an eye and it is placed on the arm, so it could bear the meaning of “an outsider that passed through the eye of Eywa”, while still not giving him a face tattoo due to him not being considered an adult and also not being formally part of the Metkayina.
I still struggle to see it this way though, given how Ronal feels towards anything sky-people related and, since she is Tsahìk, she would have the final say on the matter.
What do you guys think?
"You ride out as fast as the wind can carry you. You tell the other clans to come. You tell them Toruk Makto calls them. And you fly now. With me!"
>Proceeds to get most of his forces obliterated
>Nearly loses the battle until Eywa sends a bunch of wild animals to help
>Does this two more times
What did he mean by this
