I was looking for a few references for things and such and was rewatching this scene and I just...
If I were Spider I'd be fucking terrified.
This guy, who you know is the reincarnation of your dead genocidal father, who almost killed your now adoptive dad and destroyed the home and lives of your mother's family is standing right in front of you.
Watching him walk around the table trying to find the best way to get to Spider is literally giving me mild predator and prey vibes and I am so scared about it
Not only that but he man handles you. Spiders been around the na'vi his whole life, his siblings are massive compared to him even at their un grown heights. I mean Tuk is 7 and she could body spider if she wanted to and here he is facing up to the man he's known but never met all his life.
I would have been fucking terrified and I'm surprised Spider wasn't more so.
Especially being picked up and thrown onto the nearest surface, and when he tries to push back all it takes is a soft hand on his chest (which mind you that hand is the SAME FUCKING SIZE as his chest) to hold you back and you can't do shit
I would have cried so bad
LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!!?
THIS IS SO PRECARIOUS I WOULD FEEL SO FUCKING UNSAFE
Even though Quaritch backs of literally a second later I would be shaking to my core and here he is, making eye contact and staring down the man who holds the memories and personality of the person who ruined the life of the people he calls family.
So much ick for me
I honestly don't know what would be worse. Quaritch standing above him or standing at eye level with him
And then what does he do? He disrespects the memory and the gift from his father by throwing the dog tags across the room. I would be so terrified to do that because what if he lashes out huh? Just...so many things that are all fucking terrifying
And not only that but he's still determined to give Quaritch nothing, he's silent the whole time. He won't look, won't respond he's determined to keep his face blank and not give a single thing away in fear the his body language will speak without him
He mostly looks like a pissed off teenager the whole time but I guarantee you he was scared as fuck
