  • Yes, Avatar is critized for just retreading the Pocahontas storyline. But it’s a story after all, a bit of narratization is needed. As for the fact that they need the ‘big strong human to protect them’, yes, that is woven into the story too. Jake has both insider knowledge and intel. He not only knows what the human military contractor is going to do, he also knows the motivations behind their action, how far they are willing to go and what it will take to stop them. As such, his input is crucial to rally the tribes and get nature on his side. Only with the help of Grace’s memories is he able to rally Eywa to their side.

    But the military doesn’t care. Jake is still in a wheelchair at the start of the movie. Only by accepting a highly dangerous mission, infiltration, is he given the promise of having his old legs restored. And he is only given this job, because his brother passed away and left the Na’vi clone behind. So they are not offering this to any crippled army veteran. And yes, there are some good apples in the military. They turn on the military.















  • I will just treat this series as an entirely new franchise. I expect, and hope, that the old canon won’t be touched anyways.

    Edit:

    Veteran Stargate writer and producer Martin Gero created the show and will helm it as executive producer and showrunner. Fellow Stargate alums Brad Wright and Joseph Mallozzi are also on board as producers. The new series will continue the franchise with the same universe, canon, and tone that made Stargate a global hit.

    Maybe there is a chance
