I don’t have words.
The movie is just non-stop humans being absolute colonizer monsters and the people (and creatures) of Pandora, who want to live in peace, being forced to fight back (and kicking human ass).
The movie lives and dies by it’s visual effects and by god are they incredible. Pandora is just such a beautiful world, and Cameron lets you experience it in all its beauty and unity and peace before he shows the ugly human machines and weapons kill and destroy it. You feel the pain and the righteous anger when the Navi fight back. I was cheering for every human death of which there are many.
Is the story perfect? Nah. There are points where it’s cliche etc but I don’t mind that. There is a larger story about nature and colonisation and that’s what matters so much more. Pandora is a world that can fight back because the world itself is alive and connected and god just imagine if Earth was like that.
I’m definitely gonna see it again and I’m super pumped for the sequels.
Well…a whale inspired creature is one of the main characters in the second half of the film. So…you could stay till then and see if you’ll be fine?
WELP, just googled it and got real anxious. Guess this movie is gonna have to be a hard pass for me. That sucks.
:meow-hug:
It is truly a stupid phobia.
I have a bird phobia. It's stupid, I know. And yet, if a harmless little sparrow lands on me, I will FREAK THE FUCK OUT.
:sweat:
I know, pal. If you've been wondering why, whenever we meet on Liberal Mountain, I insist on waving instead of giving you a big ol' hug .... well, that's why. I'm so ashamed. Comrades can still be comrades if they'd prefer to keep some distance, right?
Too be fair I am covered in dirt
You're still a cutie :owl-wink:
:side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
I apologize to all the birds of Hexbear. You're great, just please don't land on me.
They said sparrow, I’m sure you’re fine.
I mean, getting shit on by birds while they're flying is no joke.
As far as I can remember, I've never been pooped on by a bird. I've had the phobia as long as I can remember, and so have two of my cousins who are very close in age to me. We assume some hotshot bird thought it would be funny to freak out some toddlers, and it ended up scarring us for life. What a punk.
I'm scared of tornados. Have been my entire life. Used to have nightmares about tornados as a kid. I live nowhere close to where tornados form lol, Ive never seen one in real life but it's like paralyzing and I used to get scared of certain kinds of thunder clouds cause I thought they were gonna form a tornado as a little kid.
No it makes sense, giant ancient intelligent creatures that could kill you instantly are worthy of fear
I had a really severe phobia of spiders until I started taking anti-anxiety meds and it just evaporated. And it didn't come back after I stopped taking that medication. Just a thought.
Whales creep me put too.
Like, I respect and love them as one of Earths creatures, but they still scare me.
Maybe there will be a radio play you can enjoy.
