>He's toruk makto and was olo'ektan, he might have been the most powerful na'vi anywhere, as well as leading the insurgency, he was the most wanted to the RDA.

Yes, but that didn't seem to matter much at all in TWOW. It got him a place to stay. None of the forest people even went with him. He was just running away and completely abandoned the forest people. How was he so sure that they wouldn't be attacked? If he was gone, why not just firebomb the forest again? I just don't see the point of a revenge mission when they have larger objectives. Why not relocate and start your mining and resource operations in a less populated area of the planet and spread from there? I'd have thought the water people coming to Sully and being like "Hey, uh, we found Humans" would be more sensible.

>Also, they didn't spend probably more than a million hunting him, there was one drop in the hallelujah mountains and then they piggybacked on the tulkun hunting, basically a background operation.

a million? There was a whole team of avatars, clone badguy, travel to another system, which would still cost money even if they were paying somebody who was already going. They had plenty of gear. Here in real life, you hit $1 million very fast during a military operation. There's no way it was cheap.

>Your family not being part of a war is a very good start to not getting your family killed. He went to find the Metkayina in order to get his family out of danger.

So relocate your family temporarily and handle it? Instead of abandoning your new people and bringing the danger to a new set of unprepared people. Did he think they wouldn't find him? If they couldn't, they'd capture and torture forest people for his location. He had to know he couldn't just hide. As you said "He's toruk makto and was olo'ektan."

It just seemed to me like lame reasons for everything.

I'm gonna be honest I was drunk and trying to be funny with that one. I think you make an interesting point.

The only thing that comes to mind right now would be, maybe it's trying to say that having a code of behavior is good, but there are instances when it is better to break your code of what you believe is right. Like that moment where he saved his family and friends by lying compared to someone with a rigid code like the podesta.

Wild to watch the safe space crowd be so mad about this. Like, movies are not representative of a society. If you don’t like something don’t watch it. The US is a huge place, lots to do here, make the most of it lmao

Or they can spend their time getting mad gay/black people and women exist. I’m not their boss

I’m never surprised when I find out that a star is an asshole.

Years ago I met a girl who had waited on Stallone and that was the first time I realized that stars can be toxic assholes. He had booked the whole upstairs of their restaurant, and didn’t leave any tip at all.

Since then, it rarely surprises me, unless it’s like, a story of Robin Williams being an asshole or something.

The character was dehydrated, starving, sunburnt and barely alive. So I gotta imagine it would be some sailors (maybe that don’t speak English) standing over a withered guy who could maybe give a few grunts before he was taken to the med bay. Maybe a first time waking up in a bed and seeing someone could have been an emotional scene but would probably not have been better than any of the others that happened after.
