It's easy you just have the United states government invade with bionic bald eagles that play "America Fuck Yeah" loudly while the navi get their asses kicked. The moral is that we may not be very respectful but we have big enough guns to not care.

Did we even need the first one?

EDIT: well, I got a forum warning for this, so I'll think I'll expand my post.

While Avatar looked great, and the action-y bits were fun, overall, it did nothing much for the world of cinema entertainment. A pretty bad story that can't go anyway now that the first movie is over, and having anything like a prequel wouldn't be great seeing as the humans hadn't made a major offensive, and the Na'vi hadn't entrusted anyone from the humans into their ranks.
Obviously you havnt watched it. The main Characters get alowed into the Na'vi Ranks. Jake Sulley, he goes through the Na'vi manhood training and then becomes one of the people and the others are all alowed in. The trusted stay on pandora and the other humans got sent back.

OT: A sequel in my opinion wont work, i cant see any further plot development from here. a Prequel would work though... Either way, im going to go and see it

No. I don't think we need a sequel. Same reasons why District 9 doesn't need a sequel.
District 9 actually could use a sequel. Unlike Avatar, District 9 let the story wide open for a sequel. "Remember 3 years."

Avatar, well, story-wise I of course see opportunities (humanity wanting revenge, the Na'vi developing and dealing with inner struggle about what direction to go, think Industrial Revolution or incorporating left-over human technology), but I'd feel rather forced I think, it ended pretty conclusively.

Cameron isn't bad with sequels though, so I'm very curious how he'll handle things. Already looking forward to it out of sheer curiosity.

This. Fuck the Na'vi, we know what to expect, now we can send in the real Space Marines!
I propose a Warhammer 40K and Avatar cross-over. Purge the alien!!

the story for avatar was very generic and they have admitted that the 3d movie sells are what made it surpass titanic so quickly in the sells. we all know this movie is the revenge of the native americans and what they wish did happen to the pale faces. the good ones stay, the bad ones leave. there are obviously many options for sequel stories, but are there any options that actually have any originality or at least give an new interesting perspective on past ideas?Basically i'm saying if it's gonna be a rip off story, will it be a good rip off story?

I say no. they made a good movie James Cameron is going to screw it up (I'd like to call this, doing a spiderman/star wars) Not all blockbusters require sequels. especially not since they stir up fanboy wars when everything goes bad.

Why does everything need a goddamn sequel these days? No one has original ideas anymore... did you know there are THREE Little Mermaid movies?? Seriously? Why?!

Besides, if something was good and you try to make a sequel in hopes it will be equal or better, you'll fail. You always fail. With very few, minor exceptions. Also, Avatar was only good because it was 3D. That's all that anyone raves about; no one mentions the story or anything.

Notice that I said prequel. That means before the events of the movie. This wouldn't work because of the reasons above.

but... it doesn't need a sequel!

I'm guessing the humans come back but, dammit, I liked the ending the way it was.

and at least disney sequels for the most part never make it to theatres and always go straight to dvd so we don't have to suffer. disney is evil but they are smart about being evil.

I didn't see it in 3D and I loved it. The plot and characterizations weren't specatuclar but they were solid, which is better than what we see in a lot of movies these days. There were strong female characters, the novum (the Avatar concept) was fascinating and even in 2D the movie was bloody gorgeous. But mostly, for whatever reason, it was just damn fun to watch.

I don't think there should be a sequel though.

No. It was an almost three hour movie. It had a good story, but it was brought to a complete and acceptable end. The sequel might be good- but I don't see how it could be.

Not a problem.

Although, I suppose a prequel could work, if it takes place when the humans a=first arrive, and end up fighting for their lives, or something.

No, we do not need a sequel to Avatar. If it's a matter of the story going anywhere, we didn't even really need the first movie, since we had Pocahontas and that was essentially the same thing.
