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

[goldendriger]

Navi, but only because the big bad humans were bad...and big. But the only thing i rooted for was the general guy. That guy was fuckin' badass!

 

[Demodeus]

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

The Colonel.

Amen to that.
During that final fight between the immortal kickass colonel and that ... erm.. "protagonist" my encouraging shouts must have been audible on the street in front of the cinema.

Great graphics and immersion, but the "plot" (if you can even call it that) was so fucking biased, I literally got up and left the movie theater. My friend was laughing when I got up and he came with me.

Just a terrible movie overall. Lack of any real characters and the bias was so obvious is was like looking at a massive plot hole.

Graphics =/= Good Movie

Of course you're not the only one! This forum is filled with people who hate Avatar, or the Na'vi, or both.

It's like people are afraid that if they like the movie, they'll transform into hippies advocating world peace or something.

Questions like these are even worse than VS threads with respect to flaming. Surely this question has been asked here before.

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 was hoping it would be the Reapers.

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".

This is not true at all, it only applies to be people asking for vague questions. I am the only one who knows my computers password, the only person typing on this computer right now and the only one who is replying to your comment on this topic at this exact moment.

why the fuck are we talking about this a year after the movie came out and over six months since the DVD came out?

We are only allowed to discuss recent things? Are you one of those people who like musicians and other things, but only when they are "in fashion" or something?

OT: I seriously do not understand why someone could possibly root for the humans. Outside of some sort of idiotic, "The good guys always win; the bad guys should win instead!" crap, there is seriously no reason. Perhaps the humans' goal was justified, but their methods involved fully ignoring any sort of peaceful negotiations and attempted genocide. In what universe is that okay?

*Cough*

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

Nope, I was with them all the way.
They had a point.
We just fuck up our world, and while I'm all for our furtherment of science and technology, surely we could take a little more care with our environment.
Plus, those animals were fucking awesome.

/OT I'd say I rooted for the Na'Vi, but only because the humans in general were laid out to be colossal ass-hats... Especially the whatshisname corporate man's commentary about "it's just a tree, there are plenty of other trees they can move to" ticked me off... Sure, I'll just come around and blow up your house because you're sitting on a goldmine... There are plenty of other houses, you can move.... But they're not your home...
Although I don't see the Na'Vi using the unobtainium for anything, so they should've been able to work out a deal (not one which includes schools, jewelry or other gimmicks)..

Best Regards

I got sick of the heavy-handed green message around halfway through the movie, and after that I got even more tired of the "Ooh, you're destroying our sacred territory, what does this remind you of, nudge nudge." writing.
Despite that, I wasn't really going for either side - I mean, yes, the humans were supposed to be the bad guys, like just about every multi-species media these days (*cough* Dragon Age), but at least they had some bad-ass technology to gawp at. Personally I think both sides were run by stubborn, bigoted idiots, so there you go.

Basically: Plot = fail. The only thing that made it worth watching was the special effects, which were fucking awesome.

I rooted for the Humans too.. You know why? The Na'vi are sick..

Remember how they make love..? Connect their pony tails..

Remember how they ride animals..? Connect their pony tails..

That's just wrong!

Personally, I was rooting for Poul Anderson.

I was hoping for Aang to show up at the end and energybend everyone and tell them to both stop being jerks.

The humans had a far more badass leader, why would you ever think about voting for half naked blue furries over a guy who kicks down an airlock door, fires his rifle and pistol at a fleeing space ship, THEN puts on an oxygen mask after giving the man holding it an approving nod. (You know the part I mean...)

Obviously, the humans should've won...

Also this:

Well said my good man... well said...
