Blue people killing humans! BAH!
I feel no symphony for those monkeys killing humans, even if it is cruel what they were doing to the planet I will not support Xenos, humans are the good guys lets just put it down for that, They refused dipolomacy! And they attacked first! No peace organization! Hyper violence and they are basically rapists, they deserve death. I do not care for they are not human, and they themselves call us from the dead world. Well sorry to say this but it wouldn't actually be like that, we would still have massive green forests still abiding around us. Plus the element might be able to power the cities for thousands of years this means that Jake Should be hunted down for crimes against humanity. Because hundreds of soldiers were killed by him and his rouge pilot. Treachery! And Betrayal! Especially if he was a former marine. He was just going insane. I say get a vindicator assassin and kill him!

I am a conversationalist too, and I hated this movie, Though I really hate james cameron....... Plus its an unoriginal plot to me.

From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.

Reality is the worst fiction.

EDIT: And here as a cynic of the human species, I never thought I'd argue that human beings in fiction shouldn't be greedy douche bags!

The movie said it was used for Superconductors that resolved an energy crisis. Mankind got off oil and by getting hooked on unobtainium in the say way a crack addict enjoys a new crack free lifestyle my smoking crystal meth instead.

Anyhow on that note a quick preview of Avatar II



Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods…illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is, but they’ll never know this. Not until it’s too late.

nononono,you see,if they found a way to make it into a infinite power source,people would just want more and more and more,so they keep mining it for money even though they dont need it.

That is the thing, superconductors cannot be used as a power source as a superconductor is simply a material with electrical resistance of 0. Superconductors are useful for making circuits efficient and for making strong electromagnets, to my knowledge that is all they are good for.

And anyway, if they invented an infinite power source (mass/energy conservation says hi by the way) why would they want to produce more of them? surely they could just use the infinite power they already have?

i didnt necessarily hate the movie at first, but once my mom started talking about how evil the humans were and how they dont need the energy, i saw the plot for what it really was, and both the people who like the blue people and the blue people themselves are obviously short term thinkers because blue people gonna get nuked whereas they could have made a gak-ton of money.
