Friendly reminder that without Spider withstanding literal torture and borderline mind r@pe every at High Camp would be dead.
Friendly reminder that without Spider Quaritch would have murdered all of this Na'vi villagers when searching for Jake in the islands.
Friendly reminder that without Spider crashing the sea dragon at the end of ATWOW the Battle would have been a billion times worse, and the Metkayina people and the Sullies may not even have won it at all.
Friendly reminder that without Spider talking down Quaritch in the stand off, Kiri would be dead.
Friendly reminder that without Spider stalling the Mangkwan warrior during the wind trader raid in AFAA Kiri and Tuk would also be dead.
Friendly reminder that without Spider being in danger Jake never would have convienced Quaritch to teamed up with him to find the kids and he'd be killed and executed by the RDA instead.
Friendly reminder that without Spider using his own body as a shield Jake would have never escaped the RDA at the end of AFAA and be shot dead instead.
Friendly reminder that without Spider talking down Quaritch once AGAIN during the final fight Jake would also be dead.
And all of this ain't even going into his meta importance. His capture is what kickstarted the plot of ATWOW and caused the Sullies to seek Uturu in the reefs. His relationship with Quaritch and the fact he saved him enables Quaritch's character to even exist. His existance is cruicial to Neytiri's development and hatred. His newfound ability to breathe the air and connect to Eywa helps show us a possible future for humanity. His very being is a parallel to Jake while being a challange to him and the viewer.
So if you ever see someone say that Spider is unimportant to the plot of Avatar or has feel free to send them this post. Because not only are they wrong and incredibily disingenous, the whole franchise they so love would rip apart at the seams without Spider in it.
