I wish Paz hadn’t been written to be a total tweety bird for Q or an unknown who exists as a faceless memory on a photograph. I’d love to know more about her from someone other than Q because that man is a known liar.
Same here. She such a nothing character. Only serves the narrative by popping out Quatritch the terribles baby.
If James Cameron wishes her to be seen as an evil person then don’t do it so half heartedly make Paz a Real ASS. Show her encouraging the slaughter of the Navi. Eating up every word Quatritch said. Make her the biggest bird in history.
And don’t show us this through some half ass dialogue from Quatritch who entire speech in that scene shows him obviously trying to push spider to side with the RDA.
honestly as a viewer isn’t that showing why we should question the validity of what he says?
Also while I Don’t like using the comics as justification. Because most don’t believe it’s true
It seems like Quatritch was a “hit it and quit it type of a person” Spiders birth was said to be fatherless. That Quatritch didn’t bother to show up.
Also people negate the fact that the entire affair in the first place was illegal. The fact that Paz was a marine is still confirmed. Marines are not supposed to fraternize. And could potentially have big punishments.
Is it beyond belief to assume as a viewer that what happened was a one night stand gone awry. Paz got pregnant and Quatritch denied parentage or avoided her ever since??? To cover his own ass
But then…why she named spider after him? Thats when that whole idea of her being a big bird seems to also be true. Because if my “partner” left me to give birth alone WHY ON EARTH would I name my baby I pushed out alone after him?
Unless Quatritch had a good reason not to be there?
Orrr Paz was desperately trying to prove who the baby belonged to. By naming the boy after him. how long can Quatritch really deny he’s his when they share the same name?
But even then why?
She could face so much punishment for sleeping with her commander wouldn’t it have been better to say the baby belonged to one of the scientists. Still can be considered an HR violation but less awful than screwing ur boss…right?
I also can see why making Paz just straight evil can be beneficial. Spider is suppose to be seen as being more than the demon blood in him. He’s the son of this man who did terrible atrocities. And his very own mother also contributed to said atrocities. The blood that made him as tainted as it is did nothing to contribute to spiders overall character. And thats the whole point of his person to some degree…honestly it’s the whole point of most of the characters. Kiri is more than just a copy and paste of grace. Loak is Navi regardless of the half blood his father gave him which contributed to his (freak-ish looks/ ie: hands and eyebrows) to question Paz character would give credibility to the idea that blood to some degree can determine or contribute to the offsprings character which is totally against what spider is and just a wrong message to give for obvious reasons.
Sorry is this answer was too long anon as you can see I have a lot of thoughts regarding Paz.
