Would you become Na'vi, forgetting everything from your human life?

[Human No More]

OK, this might be a bit similar to 'would you give up your Earth life for Pandora' but I think it's different enough.

Imagine Pandora exists. You have a choice - either keep living as a human on Earth (and if you do, you will never see Pandora), or be reborn as a Na'vi on Pandora. If you choose to become Na'vi, you forget everything about Earth and your human life and are raised by the Na'vi from birth - truly one of The People, you would be the same person personality wise etc as before, but would not know that you had chosen that life.
Which would you choose? Myself, I'd become Na'vi.

[Aihwa]

Yes, this way I would.

[Tsyal Makto]

In an attosecond.

[ProfoundHeart]

Na'vi.

[SnowRider]

Same here. Na'vi all the way.

[Eywas Puppet]

Would it matter in the long run that I made the decision or not? If I'm forgetting everything that made me human... to become na'vi, the question becomes redundant, doesnt it? You'd be forgetting why you wanted to be na'vi in the first place.

[Human No More]

Yes, you wouldn't know what you chose, but many people here would be happier given a chance at that life. I know I would. You wouldn't even miss anything, since you wouldn't remember it.

[Treefriend]

Na'vi, lots of things that I'd like to forget. Of course I'd miss the memory of friends and family though.

[Fridge Magnet]

Na'vi lol :nsmile:

[Tudhalyas]

Na'vi all the way!!!!!!

[Migg3006]

Only yes, it look so nice

[Neytiri'Makto]

Na'vi FTW.

[zongtseng]

A very easy choice to make, and sad that it is so easy. Na'vi for sure.

[Drewan]

Hands down---Na'vi!!!!! And not think more than a nano-second or 2 about the choice.

[Ngiyakubona]

I'll be odd man out and say stay human. It would be fun to have an avatar for some Pandora shenanigans from time to time, but I'm an earthling at heart.

[Elyannia]

I would never be able to forget my bf. Hes my other half. So I would remain human. The Na'vi lifestyle isn't worth forgetting him.

[Lovecraft]

I would stay human, I would think it over and say "Screw that, I would rather go back to my polluted planet to be with my actual family..." I may seem odd to you but I prefer to have humanity over na'vity being all hippie and stuff.

[MaxamillionKane]

id choose Na'vi! and theres so much i already want to forget anyway :P

[Tsawke'iheyu]

I choose to be a Na'Vi. But is a very difficult movement for me... because there are many things I couldn't leave, and there are so many things I'm longing for, and don't know which way.

[Shilka ZSU-23-4]

im really attached to my family and life on earth. and some things that i would never want to leave behind. so id stay humman.

[Pandora's Child]

Na'vi, lots of things that I'd like to forget. Of course I'd miss the memory of friends and family though.
How can you miss the memory if you don't remember it?

I'd become Na'vi in an instant, after seeing AVATAR its made me think of what we are doing to out planet and made me feel disgusted to be human.

[Hostergaard]

Theres no dubt it my mind that i would choose na'vi.

I know i wont be happy here...

[Tudhalyas]

How can you miss the memory if you don't remember it?

I'd become Na'vi in an instant, after seeing AVATAR its made me think of what we are doing to out planet and made me feel disgusted to be human.
Quoted for truth. I felt the very same after I saw the movie for the first time.

[superpidrooo]

I´d choose Na´vi of course, I´d forget all I know but being myself

[laura neytiri]

i remain human.i want to be a na'vi, yeah, but remembering all the things that had passed me at my human life.

['upxare]

Not easy choice. If my family can live as Na'vis in my clan there, I would be in.

[Fosus]

Na'vi ofc

[Eywas Puppet]

If you change the question slightly, replacing 'forgetting' with 'remembering', then not only yes, but hell yes. The na'vi are enchanting, and simple people that epitomize harmony with ones environment. Who wouldnt want that? But I wouldnt want to forget my life as a human. My memories are part of what makes me me. Lose them, and I would just be another na'vi.

[Human No More]

That's why this thread is different to 'would you give up your Earth life for Pandora'...

[Malu tek tek]

i have no love to be a human, we (as a race in genreral) are lying, deceitful, hypocritical, and destructive

[Tudhalyas]

i have no love to be a human, we (as a race in genreral) are lying, deceitful, hypocritical, and destructive
Quoted for truth.

[Avatarguy004]

I need more context in order to make the decision.

[Human No More]

I need more context in order to make the decision.
In what way?

[Tsaheylu]

I'd definitely become a Na'vi. No second thoughts about it.

[Akutan]

I would remain human

['itan Eywayä]

That is a tough decision but I'd say Na'Vi.

[sìltsan'awpo]

Hmm... become a Na'vi or stay human... let me think abou- YES!!! DEFINITELY BECOME NA'VI.

[eywa_devotee]

Reincarnated as Na'vi? Yes, definately!

[Svansfall]

At the point in life where I am right now, I'd happily forget everything about my human life to become a Na'vi.

If all things goes as I hope for though, ask again in a few years, and I would say I'd prefer to remain here as a human.

It all depends on wheter I have someone special to devote my love to, or not.

[Thorn4]

I'll be odd man out and say stay human. It would be fun to have an avatar for some Pandora shenanigans from time to time, but I'm an earthling at heart.

I would have to agree with you on this. Na'vi life does look and sound amazingly fun, but I would horribly miss Earth and my life as a human.

[Human No More]

The point is, you wouldn't miss Earth because you wouldn't know of it. To you, you would have always been Na'vi. I was interested whether it would be different without the whole 'missing Earth' thing.

[Tarucxne]

i would become a na'vi on pandora, even if na'vi dosent look like in that movie, but have their personality, then i would not care how they look like.

[roman1965]

A brand new start?
I'll take the Na'vi life!

[fortress8]

go humans! i would tray a human

[ifyouseekamy]

I'd stay human. As much as I enjoyed the movie, and as much as I can understand Jake changing (as he truly had nothing left), I personally, could not. I was born human, and I'll stay human. It's actually a very bad message if you think hard enough about it. What is the movie saying with regards to Jake neglecting his human body?

Now maybe if I fell in love with a hot Na'vi man, I'd rethink this lol. But only if I truly had no family, no job, and was yes completely paralyzed with no money to fix it. as I said, i get why Jake would do it, but not the average person.

[Avatar3079]

Kaltxi, guys

I want to be a Na'vi....But sadly I can't do that if I'm profoundly deaf (disabled)....So I don't know if I can do that. Anyone know why Na'vi not accept...I mean If Na'vi would accept any disabled, like deaf, wheel chair or any disabled....I would like to be transformation into Na'vi, if anyone agree with me.

Irayo

Marsyä

Cheers.

[John Mastick]

Give up humanity to become a creature on a world where there is no unnecessary violence, where everyone is super-athletic and carefree? Count me in!

[Human No More]

Avatar3079, I think everyone would have their place among the Na'vi, they would respect people's differences and give them as much or as little help as they wanted.

['ew]

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!

[Shatnerpossum]

I say no. I'm a human, thats who I am.

I'd love to visit, serve a tour of duty on Pandora (and go to hell for some R&R). But I'm not a Na'vi, and I'm fine with that.

[John Mastick]

That's very strong willed of you. You know who and what you are, that's good.

[Rody]

What a tough decision. I absolutely love the na'vi, their culture, everything about them. But becoming a na'vi would mean to abandon my family and friends. I don't even want to think about it, it just seems so egoistic, even though I would forget my old life.
But I'd still like to become a na'vi if I had no friends/family. Then I'd be healthy again.

[John Mastick]

It's definitely a hard choice, but as much as I love my friends and family, I would love to have that close of a relationship between the people and nature.

[ateyo 'uniltiranyu]

Most definitely Na'vi, what's not to love :nsmile:

[Avatar3079]

I once agree with you, Rody.

I wouldn't do that abandon to my good friend or family. it is hard decision honestly. Depend your feel to want become a Na'vi transformation.....If I left on Earth I would be sadly to left my family or friend, if I have a feel emotion. I know you guys not want to know your feel emotion like upset stomach I don't want give you upset you guys...Think like feel strong then go for it meet new Na'vi friend or mate.

[Sham]

i would turn to na'vi, cuz in this world you have to do all the time sth etc. Many reasons

[Apollo]

I really don't know.. I'm thinking about this too much so I'll just go with impulse. I would be a Na'vi instead of a human being, some points:
-The idea of freedom will never bother me, an Ikran would solve that
-Knowing nature isn't savage like on Earth
-The sex would be even more amazing (no point in hiding it)
etc.

[Ni'Awve Mokri]

Kaltxi, guys

I want to be a Na'vi....But sadly I can't do that if I'm profoundly deaf (disabled)....So I don't know if I can do that. Anyone know why Na'vi not accept...I mean If Na'vi would accept any disabled, like deaf, wheel chair or any disabled....I would like to be transformation into Na'vi, if anyone agree with me.

Marsya,

Oel ngati kameie tsmuke. But unless you have let your deafness get in the way of your life, you are most certainly NOT disabled. I'm sure that the Na'Vi, who are totally NOT like humans, would have a place for you and you would be loved. (not that you're not loved now, just making a point.) I would like to think that anyone with a challenge, be it sensory or physical, would be welcome in the Na'Vi life.

One the other hand, if, as the OP says, you were born and raised Na'Vi, you prolly would have your hearing anyway.

So, I say heck ya, lemme be Na'Vi.:nparty:

[Kestor]

Easy one.

Na'vi.

[konrad509]

If I was alone, hadn't any family, friends and "single thing worth fighting for" I would probably become Na'vi.

[Na'vi Warrior]

i would definitely become Na'vi :nlol:

[Avatar3079]

Kaltxi, Ni'awve Mokri

I agree with you as thought I would be transformation into Na'vi of course. Wait and see what gonna happen in the future, Hope so....So I can't say any more.

Irayo,

[FireStorm]

I would remain human. For the sole reason that I have a wife and kids. If they could come with me, I think I would probably become a Na'vi with them.

[SLO7H]

I would definitily become a Na'vi, no questions asked! :) I feel so much happiness by just thinking of Pandora and the Na'vi all the time :)

[Zapgun]

this is asking me to choose the difference between a blue face in a lake of blue faces in an incredibly hostile and demanding environment and being a pink face in an ocean of pink faces with a slightly less demanding environment.

I would stay human, I have memories here.

[FoxDie130]

Sorry if this is a bump, think it's just under a week.

Can we have a weeks trial as Na'vi?
Would be pretty handy!

But as the majority (as of now) of people said, I'd go Na'vi.

Friends and family are the big decision maker to be honest.

But I'd love to start over and experience a much different living!

Na'vi for the win!

[HeraldofEywa]

I would choose to be Na'Vi. But I would prefer living in past, before the humans came. Or in the future, when the human threat is completely over.

[Imperius Dictatio]

I'd remain human of course.
As a race we hold FAR more potiental then the Na'vi.

[punishingwrath]

Be a sheep for eternity or a lion for a day. Reign in hell or serve in heaven.

Screw the Na'vi. I'd be human. You know we'd probably come back with greater military force and blow the hell out of the planet anyway.

[Imperius Dictatio]

Exactly

[Tudhalyas]

I'd barter gladly 10 years of life on Earth for 1 year on Pandora, as a Na'vi.

[Aquaplant]

But the question in itself is flawed because the idea of having to choose carries the weight of knowing that you had to make a choice, and the inability to set it all behind you so to speak.

I mean should one choose to become Na'vi, and I'm going to assume that one is cabable enough to get it done, because I for one know I'm not. It is stated in the OP that one would retain his/her personal characteristics, and for me at least those are contradictionary to the way of the Na'vi in some ways at least. I guess I could fault the world for making me this way, and I would be quite different given alternate circumstances, but that's all highly speculative.

As for staying human and knowing that there's Pandora is pretty silly in itself, because it's implying that it can somehow be said with absolute certainty that Pandora exists and it's "just like in the movie". Now you state that it would be impossible to go there while still having the the knowledge of it's existence is simply irrational.

This poll is too biased in the "right" direction in it's current form, but I don't necessarily consider it as a bad thing, for I think we are all a little biased on these forums anyways. It just gets to me at times to notice these sort of inconsistencies that get my attention for reasons unknown.

I'm not going to vote however because I'm not making assumptions on things I do not have certain knowledge about. If I would know for sure that I would not turn out to be the same kind of moody person I'm today, because the Na'vi sure would not tolerate such behaviour.

[Vision89]

I'd love to become Na'vi, even though I have not seen anything yet from our world...

[Nydra]

I'm afraid a disabled na'vi would die to predation before reaching adult age. natural selection at work.

[Human No More]

I'm not sure. I think the Na'vi would accept they might not be able to do everything, and help them where needed. They probably wouldn't be going out in the forest on their own, but I doubt the Na'vi would leave anyone to die without a very good reason.

[gilmeiri1]

Become Na'vi i'm think
But i'm still not sure about it
Give me 30 days trial and then i'm decide :P

[Life]

There are things on earth that I am not willling to let go of. I realize these would not matter after I made the choice but it still means I would never experience these things anymore...and I don't like the thought of that. I would definitely take a vacation there if I had the chance.

[Nydra]

I'm not sure. I think the Na'vi would accept they might not be able to do everything, and help them where needed. They probably wouldn't be going out in the forest on their own, but I doubt the Na'vi would leave anyone to die without a very good reason.

I'm not saying they would abandon them, just that a disabled na'vi would be alot more likely to fall prey to the many dangers of pandora. on top of that, since the na'vi are in balance with their environment, they can't hunt for surplus food, since that would upset the ecosystem. I'm actually quite curious how the na'vi would handle such a challenge.

[Maelstrom]

No, simply based on my belief. I believe a person at their core is really their memories. If I couldn't have those, then I can't see the point in trying to live another life. I wouldn't be the one there to enjoy it.

Otherwise, yes definately.

[Na'vi_warrior]

If the governments of Earth doesn't change their attitude about saving our dying planet, I'd doubtless be a Na'vi on Pandora.

[Txontirea]

I would want to, definatly. But, I can't really endorse thinking like this. Its not good for you.

[Tawtaronyu Kxani]

In a heartbeat! I know that there's alot to give up here on Earth but their life is what suits me best... Earth just doesn't offer me the same lifestyle.

[Na'vi_warrior]

In a heartbeat! I know that there's alot to give up here on Earth but their life is what suits me best... Earth just doesn't offer me the same lifestyle.

Yeah, I hear you. :ncool:
I mean, sure I do love life in big city, but I am also in love with Pandora...

[ZitaX]

I would definitly choose Na'Vi! Have a lot of stuff i want to forget/want un-done. A good way of putting it: It would be a fresh start on a new world!

[Ateyo112]

I would leve this world immidiatley.

[Omaticaya_Pol]

Yes, definatly Na'Vi - I'd like to see Pandora moon in real...

[neytirixjake]

Na'vi, as long as i got a chance to tell my family where i was going so they wouldn't worry for me :] Who knows they might want to join me.

[Hawnu ìla Eywa]

Hi! First - I sorry for my English. I'm from Poland and I'm 14. So when it comes to choice, I would choose Na'vi.
This loyalty, faith, traditions and customs. Those who read the book know what's going on. :nwink: I believe that I found in the role na'vi and scored ritual Uniltaron and Iknimaya.
Again, sorry for mistakes.
