Perfection on Pandora

[DeMouse]

on Pandora,we don't need no stinkin' glasses!

Technically uo don't need them here too.

I often drink out of the tap/bottle.

I would drink out of the river when I go for a walk but ours is full of decaying plant matter and sand. Might not be good for my gut.

Even though it does seem like Cameron went out of his way to slap a huge "PANDORA IS BETTER" sticker on everything; he did overlook one simple detail and it dispels many statements of 'Terra inferiority' I hear.

It's simple, if Earth and Pandora went to war, Earth would win any day of the week. As great and advanced as the 'connective-ness of life' is on Pandora, it wouldn't stop the nuke humanity had the ingenuity to build.

That's the Na'Vi's key flaw, ingenuity. Intellectually they are either just below or equal to humans in raw problem solving power, but they lack the ingenuity to make full use of that power. Na'Vi culture shows us they have been in the Paleolithic age for a very long span of time, and even with 'free-bees' thrown to them (such as the lack of need for domestication); they haven't made any large technological strides.

Where's by comparison, less then a few hundred years after the Ice Age; we humans had mastered stone working, architecture; and agriculture. In less then 200 years, we've gone from wooden ships to Saturn 5 rockets and hypersonic jets.
It is because on Earth it's 'every species for itself', that our planet breed such a massive variety of life forms similar to, yet very distinct from Pandora's because each species evolves usually independent of each-other

it is so odd that you sound just like demouse,with your praise for that frankenstein invention-horror of mankinds...the atomic bomb. of course,demouse pushes the 'like' button. lolz

Eh, like it or not; one time honored trait of humans is we always seem to be finding better ways to kill ourselves and others.

Stone tools.... Bows..... Swords.... Catapults.... Cannons... Guns.... Bombs... Nukes... And now super-viruses.

I'm not meaning to sound like I'm praising such a feat, apologies. I was mostly relating to how a few other members pointed out that the impressive 'interconnective-ness' of Pandora's life meant that Eywa could use the local fauna as a fairly impressive weapon (as we saw towards the end of the movie). I also was coming done on those who might see the Na'Vi as infinitely superior to humanity.

My statement on the Nuke was mostly just a counter-statement to said notations

Pandora might not be perfect.. But it dam is much better then earth.. That's for dam sure

[Raidrik]

Well when you look at how the world's concept was made, it would only make sense for Pandora to seem superior. I dare say Mr. Cameron went out of his way to slap a huge 'bigger, better; stronger' sticker on everything.


Earth's not all bad though. I find Terra's prehistoric life much more interesting then animal Pandora cooked up; regardless of Cameron's attempts (A Tyrannosaurus rex or Tarbosaurus bataar would have a Thanator for lunch with a side of Toruk)

It isn't that bad that whe are getting smarter and smarter and more technology but it is the way how the (most) humans are using it.
