Warning: SPOILERS forAvatar: The Way of Water.
James Cameron’s debuting a ruthless new Na’vi tribe inAvatar: Fire and Ash, and they’re bound to become even more dangerous by allying with Quaritch.CinemaCon’sAvatar 3footageprovided new glimpses at the upcoming sequel’s two new Na’vi tribes, the Wind Traders and the Ash People. This included a few major revelations, such as that the Ash People (or Fire Na’vi) have the ability to actually control fire. It also contained a few hints about the directionAvatar: Fire and Ash’s storywill be taking.
Although Cameron had already indicated as much before, it’s now much more abundantly clear thatthe Fire Na’vi will become the Sully clan’s newest antagonists inAvatar: Fire and Ash. While not all of the Metkayina were entirely welcoming at the beginning ofAvatar: The Way of Water, this was mostly an issue among the children. The Ash People seem far more antagonistic as a whole, and the CinemaCon footage reveals how one deadly alliance will make them an even greater danger for the heroes of theAvatar 3cast.
Quaritch Teaming Up With The Fire Na’vi In Avatar 3 Means They’ll Be More Ruthless Than Expected
He Could Convince An Already Volatile Tribe That Sully’s A Traitor To Their Kind
The CinemaCon footage ofAvatar: Fire and Ashshows Quaritch donning the Ash People’s face paint, suggesting thatQuaritch will be working with the Na’vifor the first time. It’s likely that the two are simply working together for the sake of fighting a common enemy, butQuaritch makes the Fire Na’vi more dangerous because he already understands Jake’s war strategies. He was dangerous enough when he only knew how to predict Jake’s thought process as a jarhead, butThe Way of Watertaught him to better understand how the Omatikaya and Metkayina fight, as well.
What James Cameron Does With Avatar 3’s Fire Na’vi Could Be Truly Wild After The Way Of Water Blew Me Away
James Cameron is one of the most influential and innovative filmmakers working today. His water CGI was breathtaking, and now he has to do fire.
Not only can Quaritch help the Fire Na’vi understand Jake as a strategist, but it’s plausible thatthe Ash People will be fueled by Quaritch’s motivations in addition to their own. Depending on how they wound up isolated in a volcano, they might respond to Quaritch’s characterization of Jake as a man who fought his own people. Additionally,James Cameron suggestedAvatar 3will focus on grief, and Quaritch is a man who now likely blames Jake for Spider rejecting him. These one-sided stories of familial betrayal may very well intensify the Ash People’s hatred for the Sullys.
What Quaritch Having A Na’vi Tribe On His Side Means For His War With The Sullys After The Way Of Water
He’ll Have Access To Completely New Strategies Sully Won’t Be As Prepared For
Thanks in part to Lo’ak taking over as narrator, there are rumors thatJake Sully will die inAvatar: Fire and Ash. It wouldn’t be surprising, since Quaritch and the Fire Na’vi both have something to offer each other. While Quaritch can provide insight into Jake’s strategies,the Fire Na’vi can teach Quaritch to employ strategies that Jake’s never fought against before. Firebending likely isn’t the only trick they have up their sleeve, and it’s their more general strategies that pose the biggest threat, because Jake is generally a tactical thinker.
I Need Avatar: Fire & Ash To Break A Jake Sully Trend The Last 2 Movies Barely Got Away With
The release of Avatar: Fire & Ash is fast approaching, and when the movie finally does premiere, I hope this Jake Sully problem is finally fixed.
On the other hand, the tables could easily turn in the other direction.Quaritch actor Stephen Langhas previously said that his storyline inAvatar: Fire and Ashis “not a straight journey,” and he seemed hesitant to give much away at all. The Fire Na’vi have been characterized as generally distrusting, so there’s every possibility that they’ll turn on Quaritch and force him into an even more unlikely team-up. Quaritch and Sully did technically start out on the same side, so it would theoretically be the best way to bring them full circle for the threequel.
