New Delhi: The highly anticipated sequel to James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’, which takes place in Pandora, seems to be promising like the first part. Expectedly, there is a lot of buzz surrounding the movie’s sequel. The trailer suggested that the’ Avatar’ sequel will go farther into Pandora and the Na’vi. Thirteen years have passed since the first film, so before watching the sequel, you should take a moment to revisit the most crucial details.
So let’s quickly recap the first ‘Avatar’, starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, and Kate Winslet.
What happened in Avatar?
In the first installment of the ‘Avatar’ film series, humans are colonising Pandora, a livable moon that the Na’vi, a native species with human-like ability, reside. It contains a valuable and rare mineral, therefore humans are lured to Pandora. Since the air on Pandora is hazardous to humans, they dwell in pods. They command avatars with the same skills and appearance as the blue Na’vi using their minds.
Why precisely do humans want to seize Pandora?
The mineral unobtainium, which is accessible beneath the enormous Hometree that the Omaticaya clan resides in, is a significant component of life on Pandora. Although unobtanium is exceedingly expensive, it facilitates crewed interstellar travel. They are conquering Pandora to harvest its resources while enslaving the Na’vi because Earth is uninhabitable.
The Na’vi: who are they?
The Na’vi, a race of humanoid aliens, call the extrasolar moon Pandora home. They are about ten-foot-tall blue beings with carbon fiber-reinforced bones. Na’vi have their own culture and language, as well as a goddess they call Eywa. While only the Na’vi Omaticaya tribe, which includes Neytiri and her family, is seen in ‘Avatar’, the sequel will feature different Na’vi clan that lives near the water.
The Avatar Project: What should you know?
As part of the initial Avatar experiment, scientists on Earth created artificial bodies by merging human and Na’vi DNA. These bodies function exactly like any other Na’vi body, complete with all of its prowess, but lack free will. In order to survive in Pandora’s environment without a mask and to approach Na’vi tribes covertly, a researcher takes on the form of a Na’vi pilot.
Jake (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic former Marine, is ultimately sent to Pandora. Because each Avatar is made from a unique human’s DNA, only people with that DNA can control the Na’vi body. When Jake’s twin brother, who was supposed to take his position in the Avatar project, passed away, the former chose to participate. Jake pilots a Na’vi body because it would be too costly to just create new Avatars.
Jake Sully switched sides, but why did he do it?
Jake develops feelings for Pandora and the Na’vi when he is on a mission to spy on the Na’vi and inform the ‘Sky People’. Eventually, he also starts to fall for Neytiri. In the end, Jake changes sides and joins the Omaticaya to aid them in combating the RDA, which is led by Colonel Miles Quaritch. Jake unites the Na’vi clans by conquering the Great Leonopteryx, known as the Toruk, and earning the nickname Toruk Makto.
What’s going on in the Avatar sequel?
In the follow-up, Jake Sully’s relationship with Ney’tiri, played by Zoe Saldaa, takes centre stage as the two characters travel to new areas while exploring Pandora. Jake and Neytiri, who have children now, have left their dwellings and travelled to the Metkayina clan’s residence. There is a considerable conflict between the two Na’vi clans because Sully and the Omaticaya are regarded as outsiders there. The humans are once again the antagonists in the sequel, despite the fact that it is never expressly stated.
