Nightshade Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The problem is that other than the things that mismatch between their physilogy and most of the rest of Pandora's fauna, I'm not seeing much that doesn't make sense about them. There's nothing there that doesn't seem reasonable given what else we've seen. It honestly seems the objection is based more on them resembling some ideal that people are finding annoying than anything coherent I've seen in objecting to them on their own merits (there are some things you can object to on a purely hard-SF grounds perhaps, but its not a purely hard-SF movie).

Dredj Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I haven't even seen the movie yet, since only the 2D version is showing where I'm at. I'll just wait till it's on DVD. However, I do know that the reason things in media become so popular (or simply have audiences of varying sizes) is because they tie into some form of wish fulfillment on the part of the audience. And all the stuff I've read or heard about Avatar suggests that the wish fulfillment of the audience is to get more in touch with nature and say "to hell" with large corporations.
