    ^ Nice one Prowler, ye the Na'vi list could go on forever ^_^ But to Mother of the Forest, maybe you think this thread is too obvious and it's pointless debating on it? LOL well don't underestimate human capabilities, even though the Na'vi are amazing

    It's just, humans are lot stronger than the credit that's given. Once you reach a certain point in your physical strength, you really can go for hours on end. Sure, there are still some things that'll need working up to, but we're just as strong as the Na'vi are on our own planet.

    There's nothing to forgive! I knew that I wasn't very clear. I see you, too

    My choice wasn't hard: NA'VI ! But seriously, besides being awesome in all possible ways, I think Na'vi have an advantage over us, physically. At the beginnig of the movie, if I'm right, Quaritch said that Na'vi had bones reinforced with carbon. According to what I know in chemistry and biology, human bones are mainly composed of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. And carbon weights less than these three minerals. But I don't know if ''reinforced means ''added'' (I mean, if the carbon is added to the other existing minerals rather than replacing, for example, magnesium). If it doesn't, well, my theory is right: their bones are lighter, so they don't have as much weight as us to carry. SO THEY WIN!
    But It would make sense, in a way. Have you seen how easily they climb on stuff? Like when they climb up to the Iknimaya....woah....I don't know many humans who could actually survive doing this. And, also, towards the end, when Jake attacks Quaritch with the, uhm, knife (?.. what is it called?) he jumps in the air like crazy. Seriously, guys, no human can do this.

    not to mention that they would be taking much bigger steps. and the gravity on Pandora is only 0.8 of earth's yet the Na'vi are about 4X stronger than humans so i guess the "stronger gravity on earth" argument is BS ^_^
    There are many dangers on Pandora, and one of the subtlest is that you may come to love it too much.

    LoL, well yeah, less gravity. But I think that proportionally we're about the same. I mean, for example I'm 6"1' and I can jump a certain amount, a 4 foot kid could only jump half, or even less, so if a Na'vi is 11 foot, he'll definitely jump higher and longer, even thanks to less gravity, plus longer legs make you run faster. Anyhow, I like being a human, altough I want to be a Na'vi, I don't think of us like insignifiicant at all, we can do everything a Na'vi can do, just a bit less maybe
    I'm guessing a Na'vi can run 100m in about 8 seconds, I, a normally fit guy can do it in 11.5 if I really try, but usain bolt, a tall, very fit guy, like a Na'vi would be living n the wild, can do it in 9.5, so there you go ^_^
