Avatar: Fire and Ash
Summary
WhileAvatar 3is potential to bring back Eywa , the sequel must clarify oneAvatar : The Way of Waterdeath game hole in the physical process . TheAvatarfranchise has a detailed , complex fictional universe of discourse , but the movies only allow TV audience a coup d’oeil of this immersive world . Even though bothAvatarand its first sequel , Avatar : The style of Water , were criticized for their drawn-out runtimes and relaxed pacing , the movies just scratched the surface of the world developed by James Cameron and his originative collaborators . This approach could become an issuance with the third moving picture in the series .
TheupcomingAvatar 3will land back many of the franchise ’s central characters , includingAvatarstars Jake , Neytiri , Quaritch , as well asAvatar : The agency of Waternewcomers like Kiri , Lo’ak , and Spider . However , one character who is unconvincing to return is Neteyam . Jake ’s son died during the climax of the sequel , meaning he ca n’t seem inAvatar 3 . At least , that is what viewers might moderately assume . However , Avatar : The Way of Watercomplicated one major element ofAvatar ’s traditional knowledge . This might contradict Neteyam ’s decease and refine the franchise ’s approach to character death go forward .
While the first Avatar film focused primarily on the Omaticaya , the Avatar dealership has explored many more Na’vi Clans in the sequels and tie - ins .
Avatar 3 Must Confirm The Extent Of Eywa’s Spiritual Powers Over The Dead
The Way of Water’s sequel ends to clarify Eywa’s powers and limitations
The Na’vi can seemingly commune with their death via Eywa , Pandora ’s sacred tree diagram of life . However , this poses a problem for the serial . InAvatar : The Way of Water ’s conclusion , Jake links up with Eywa ’s Pandoran Neural connection and speaks to Neteyam ’s smell by revisiting a cherished memory of fish with his untested boy . This succession ca-ca it seem like Jake can only visit existing memories he has of Neteyam , but it is complicate by a scene earlier in the movie . Kiri , whose female parent is the late human scientist , Grace , colligate up to Eywa and talk to her mother .
Although Kiri ’s communicating with Grace is issue short when she suffers some form of deep seizure , Avatar : The Way of Waterstill makes it clear that she is talking to a sentient , independent rendering of her female parent . Kiri ’s conversation with Grace is n’t but a projection or a memory but rather a two - sided dialog with a person who , for all intents and determination , is alive . Thus , if theAvatarfranchise ’s Na’vi can just connect to their partake in neural web and speak to their dead at any meter , then these utter characters are not functionally numb . This could become an offspring in future movies .
Avatar 2 Made Death Less Of A Big Deal Before Avatar 3
Avatar 3’s deaths will be less impactful if Eywa can effectively undo them
If Eywa is always useable to bring back Pandora ’s dead ( albeit temporarily ) , then Jake could verbalise to Neteyam , Kiri could talk to Grace , and death itself would n’t be that big a deal in the enfranchisement ’s universe . This military issue became even more obvious when one of the God Almighty of the serial clarify Eywa ’s powers when speaking at a normal . During a Q+A at OmatiCon 2024 , Joshua Izzo stated :
“ It ’s a still moment in prison term , but you are able-bodied to interact . And that ’s why you ’re able-bodied to blab to the ancestors … But you ca n’t ever change any of it . ”
This is strange since it mean Grace and Neteyam can react to tidings in real time but wo n’t be able to retrieve anything from one sojourn to the next . While that might be devil , it does signify that the versions of these characters that Jake and Kiri talk to are their real selves , not merely store . WhileAvatar 3 ’s tarradiddle promise Na’vi villainsand fire tribe , the sequel must also make sentence to address this issue . If Eywa ’s powers remain this substantial , the demise of Na’vi or heroic human characters will never mob a biff in subsequent sequels .
Avatar 4 & 5 Need Higher Stakes (Which Means Characters Stay Dead)
Avatar’s sequels can’t bring back every dead character as the franchise continues
One fashion for theAvatarfranchise to get around this would be for the villain to point Eywa specifically . Viewers already know that Earth will be a set inAvatar 5 , mean the full Pandoran Neural web may end up desolate by human invasions . This could advise that the Metkayina ’s Spirit Tree , the Tree of Souls , and every other connection to Eywa ’s Neural connection could be destroyed . In turn , this would sheer off the link between Na’vi and their dead , as would the army merely decimating Pandora itself . However , the direction potentially makes anotherAvatar 3plot harder to conclude in the sequels .
incarnation : The manner of Wateralready imply thatAvatar 3 ’s account will make Kiri a more of import charactersince she expose some unexplained great power in the sequel . However , if blab to Grace is the only room for Kiri to infer what she is and what her powers are , then the RDA ’s endeavour to demolish the tree diagram will be doubly impactful inAvatar 3 . Kiri could be pivotal to the Na’vi ’s attempts to resist human occupation , butAvatar 3 ’s heroine might fall back her only link to her past tense if Eywa is destroyed afterAvatar : The manner of Water .
