am i the only one who was going for the humans in AVATAR

[bart56912]

Which humans? The fire nation?

I hate those guys. Except for Iroh and Zuko... I enjoy them muchly

actully i was talking about james camrons avatar sorry for the that

 

[Nouw]

There was really only one human I rooted for in that movie.

The Colonel.

Hell yeah, Colonel Fuckin' Badass.

I haven't seen one of them in the cinemas for a long time.

 

[BonsaiK]

i think it may be becuse the humans always win

The answer to any question, ever, that begins with "am I the only one" is always "no".

 

[WolfThomas]

both were jerks

This pretty much somes up the situation. I couldn't emphasis with either sides.

 

[Cryo84R]

It was such a racist movie, it wasn't even funny. I rooted for the humans.

This man wins 5 internets

Also why are we talking about Avatar?

 

[Gigano]

Can't say I rooted for the humans, but the Na'vi were sufficiently insufferable in their super healthy undemocratic tribal lifestyle/spiritual and collectivist superiority message that I didn't fell any tears for them either.

In a fight between ruthless corporate greed and calcified hippie tradition, just lean back and enjoy the pretty landscape and explosions.

 

[Frybird]

Slightly off topic, i was kinda horrified in how brutally the humans got killed in the final battle. I don't think being shot does not hurt as much as being chewed on by a dragon like thing or having a arrow the size of a spear shot through your chest.

On topic, i have a hard time rooting for anyone, since everyone is a moron, humans and aliens alike. Still love the incredible stupidity of the protagonist as well as, of course, The Colonel. He was a bad enough dude to save a president from ninjas (or pretty much anything else).

I wasn't really on any sides, but I was hoping Colonel Miles "Bad-ass" Quaritch would get more on screen fighting time, you don't see that in cinema anymore. I think movies are trying to be more realistic (than usual) like games. When all we need is an over the top, tank canon carying, one liner dropping, humorous protagonist to breath some life into the cinema. Come on Duke Nukem, save me from the "realistic" games.

 

[BoTTeNBReKeR]

Yup. Humans should've won. The entire movie was some hippy bullshit if you ask me. There's no way the Humans should've lost that.

 

[Mallefunction]

I hated the Na'vi. To have a perfect society where NO ONE essentially fights or gets pissed off at each other (remember, the Na'vi that didn't like Jake gets offed so he doesn't count) is just stupid. Even the elves from LoTR had more depth and realism than these boring twats.

I'm also sick of movies telling us how flawed we are and how we need to overcome said faults rather than accept and embrace them.

 

[JediMB]

You haven't been here long, I take it. I'm starting to feel like the only one rooting for the Na'vi.

I think attitudes alone were enough to root for the Na'vi. Then there's also the fact that the human leadership were willing to eradicate a unique natural data storage system that contained the collected minds and experiences of millions of individuals.

They could claim they didn't know, of course, but willful ignorance is no excuse.

I'm willing to give some credit to the company for at least trying to follow the lessons of history and not eradicate a non-hostile native population, initially preferring negotiation (leading me to facepalm at people wondering why they didn't just resort to violence right off the bat; these people have clearly never heard the term "imperialism"). And some blame to the scientists for explaining in about the worst possible way for a hyper-rationalist to interpret.

Actually, I don't even consider the corporates villains so much as anti-villains. That role was pretty exclusively the mercs'.

It's been a while since I last saw the movie, but I do recall Selfridge being pretty much spineless. Not an ideal personality to have around a ruthless military man like Quaritch.

 

[Gluzzbung]

Avatar was such a crap movie I just wanted it to end, I didn't care who won although the humans would be more close to my heart since I'm all for exploiting alien races if they can't muster significant defence.

 

[Zaik]

It's a little difficult to root for the humans due to the lack of quality explanation as to why they need to relocate or eradicate an entire city of blue monsters to get at that McGuffin. If it was some sort of energy source for a Earth that recently ran dry of fossil fuels, or something that could "clean up" radiation for a post WW3 Earth, they'd be people you could sympathize with.

But no, it's just supergold and therefore worth the cost of a military invasion to get. It's not even at the level of mustache twirling evil, it's just the "corporate greed" archetype that has been played out a million times.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

There was really only one human I rooted for in that movie.

The Colonel.

The colonel was the definition of badass. Too bad he had to die, but not without taking as much abuse as a main villian was allowed.

Yeah, dislike the movie overall, rooted for humans, why the fuck are we talking about this a year after the movie came out and over six months since the DVD came out?

 

[Wade-DeadPool]

Haven't seen it, don't want to see it, will not see it

 

[Strixvaliano]

The cowboys (I mean humans) were greedy, bigoted assholes, but the Native Americans (I mean Na'vi) were boneheaded, condescending twats.

I reluctantly sided with the Na'vi in the end, but a part of me was hoping for a third race to show up and take out both factions.

I would have preferred that as well... perhaps something along the lines of Xenomorphs, Zerg or the Flood.

The amount of money I'd pay to see that is unimaginable by humans.

James Cameron combine your movies into one unholy and unstoppable abomination!

 

[staika]

Of course I sided with the humans, being human myself I like to side with my own kind. Also I had a hard time siding with the navi maybe it was the unbelievable romance between Jake the human and whatever her name was, maybe he is just into that stuff but I couldn't find any appeal in those........ things.
