You know, whenever I think of Neytiri’s hate/former hate for humans i always think of how I feel whenever I play through tap con-1 again
I get filled with this anger towards Mercer,Alma and Harding. Like you killed so many innocent na’vi for your ambition and own interests. Shot our mother down as she was SPRINTING to get to her child while everything she knew and cared for was being stolen-all she could hope was that her children would okay. When Alma is begging the Na’vi not to run you can see Kataru get shot and fall.
Mercer killed a child out of anger. A tantrum. He couldn’t stand the slight of a child talking back because she wasn’t a child to him, the Sarentu were his property. Their acting out was a personal attack to his ego and power.
Those soldiers who watched it all happen, strip children of their clothes and belongings, strap them down with restraints and drag them. They did nothing.
Harding who sees them as nothing more than over grown bugs that need to be squashed down to size. Hell she’d probably taxidermy a na’vi and sell them if she could. Choke out children and teenagers with air that was poison to them, na’vi take longer to die in oxygen than humans in Pandora’s air. For minutes and minutes on end all the Sarentu could feel was air get heavier and heavier, like lead being piled on their chests.
Alma who wanted to be a saviour. She wanted so bad to be what Grace Augustine was. But she wasn’t. So badly she wanted the believe the na’vi were just savages who didn’t know any better but if they just listen then they could ‘save’ their little ones-Alma who lied by emission by not telling Jake-Toruk Makto about TAP and let herself stay on paradise for years all while leaving the Sarentu to rot in their cold coffins. Even if she thought they were dead she didn’t even try to retrieve their bodies and let them be laid to rest in the Great Mothers arms
I think of it all and I commend Neytiri for being able to let go. For being able to heal and move forward because she can’t loose herself to this venom.
She is so much stronger than me because I would have absolutely ended up like Nor, I would’ve been drowned in my own hatred
