Neteyam: The Golden Child Explained | Avatar: The Way of Water Explained

Фильм және анимация

A quick comprehensive guide and analysis of Neteyam, the favorite or Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk’itan from Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Explained.
In this breakdown, analysis, reaction and explanation we focus the golden child, and eldest son of Jake and Neytiri Sully, named, Neteyam, played by actor Jamie Flatters. In the year 2155, Neteyam got “lion kinged” into the Omaticaya clan. Ever since then, he has been the star athlete, the best hunter out of the Omaticaya youths and he is a great at flying an Ikran (Mountain Banshee); in fact, he's almost as good as his mother.
We discuss Neteyam's relationship with his envious brother Lo'ak (Britain Dalton); and other less envious people like, his sister Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), Tonowari (Cliff Curtis), his other sister Tuk (Trinity Bliss), Tsireya (Bailey Bass), Aonung (Filip Geljo), Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) and of course, his estranged cousin Spider (Jack Champion). I sadly, have to talk about the last encounter he had with Corporal Lyle Wainfleet. As well as the responsibility and role he was given by his parents, Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana).
Neteyam went through “Dreamhunt”, the final rite of passage before being fully accepted as an adult in the eyes of the Omatikaya; meaning he is a warrior. This all gave Neteyam more responsibility and added to his maturity. In fact, he spends most of his time with the other adults of the Omaticaya.
In order to help better understand this Sully, I reference Avatar: The High Ground Comics, Avatar: An Activist Survival Guide (2009), Avatar The Way of Water The Visual Dictionary (2022) and The Art of Avatar The Way of Water (2022). This will give us the ability to better talk about props (like the blades) and costume design.

    Huh? Neteyam didn't get shot trying to save Payakan. Neteyam got shot after the Sullys made it out but Lo'ak convinced Neteyam to go back for Miles "Spider". Even though Quaritch wasn't going to kill Spider. As for Payakan? Payakan was doing his own thing taking out the naval fleet practically on his own. Sure he was getting shot by machine guns but tulkun have extremely thick skin and the bullets essentially bounce off and have the effect of less than a paper cut to the tulkun. Like the poacher said midway through the movie, the tulkun are extremely difficult to kill, you can't simply gun them down, you have to use the technique with the harpoons and balloons to make them float. Honestly Ro'a and her baby tulkun getting poached for amirita, plus the RDA just brutally taser-torturing the Metkayinans was enough trauma for one movie. Neteyam didn't have to get shot and apparently die, for now. Really hoping Cameron gets it right with Eywa and Neteyam for Avatar 3.

    While their relationship isn’t shown in great detail, Miles is much closer to Neteyam's younger siblings. Miles leaves out Neteyam's name when he lists the "family" he has left. While in the beginning of the film after being wounded in the mag-lev assault Spider was heard teasing Neteyam when he was being patched up by his grandmother Mo’at, while later on in the film, Miles was caught on the ship, Neteyam felt the risk was too great to bother saving him, and it was only when Lo'ak insisted that Neteyam agreed to the rescue. Neteyam is also seen doing an annoyed growl at the idea. Despite this, Neteyam risked his life and perished in order to save Miles from Quaritch. Spider was crying after he learned that Neteyam had perished.

    @@veronica.v2007 There's only 3 movies left. Next one comes out in December, 2025. But yes I'm firmly on the train of Neteyam being fully restored to life through Kiri and Eywa. Eywa does not make "exceptions" often, but 'she' will realize that Neteyam's death at such a young age is a mistake for Pandora. That 'balance' will reign supreme. Though, make no mistake about it, Lo'ak will be the mighty world warrior, hero, and main protagonist of the remaining three films. Neteyam's ceiling if he is indeed resurrected is to return to Mo'at, Omatikaya, i.e.. Home. Safely out of harm's way from the RDA and Ash People. And ultimately he can work towards fulfilling his destiny, becoming what his father was there for the time between Avatar 1 and 2, marrying a beautiful wife, etc. But Lo'ak is destined for great conquest with Payakan and Tsireya from the Metkayina base, and will be the main character. I don't know if there's ever been a hybrid Omatikaya-Metkaniya child before. Lo'ak and Tsireya are obviously way too young for that in Avatar 3, but maybe we'll get to see that by the end of Avatar 5.

    Well, it's not 15 years later for raising the kids. Neteyam is pretty old. People change but they don't lose old habits, they just don't use them as much. A massive reason Jake abandoned his human form when other members of the research team didn't and still use their human and avatar forms is because Jake's legs don't work. He's always hated being stuck in a wheelchair. The entire reason he accepted the program AND accepted Quaritch's offer to spy on the research team was because of the promise of restoring his legs. The other reason he abandoned it was because that's simply where his family is now. He doesn't have any family back home, his brother is dead, and Earth kinda blows anyways. Being stuck between Avatar and human would make living with Neytiri and the clan a lot harder than it needs to be. It's easier to just swap bodies. He raises his kids like a human because he's still a human. He may have learned the Na'Vi ways, but he emulates them, he doesn't live them. It's like learning formalities and table manners as an aristocrat; he does things because they're expected of him, not necessarily because he believes them (Though he probably does). The same goes for fighting. The Na'Vi may have their own ways of combat, but to be blunt, humanity has pretty much perfected the art of war. Human CQC, tactics, and weaponry is far superior to the natives, and it's not even close. Don't forget the Na'Vi would have lost by a HUGE margin if not for Eywa turning the entire planet against them. By the time the Na'Vi were in full retreat, humanity had barely sustained any losses, and definitely no relevant ones. The walkers were fully intact, and both large shuttles were completely unharmed. The only benefit the Na'Vi have on their side is size. They are much larger, stronger and their bows have massive penetrating power, but that just makes them a bigger target for guns. Tsu'Tey might have been the best warrior of the entire clan but he still got dropped by a single guy freaking out and spraying gunfire at him. Ultimately Jake is still a human and a marine at heart. He simply doesn't use that skillset normally because he's not living with humans and he's not in active duty. But once the circumstances arise, he still has that skillset to pull upon when needed.

    @@GreatOldOne9866 It was. Especially since we had very little interaction with him, yet knew he was going to die within the first few minutes of the movie. On top, his death is pointless so far and only made worse by the continous plotholes in this movie. Sure, it was an emotional scene and Neteyam had lots of potential as a character. But he was barely utilized and only as an added sob story. The majority of the audience didn't get attached because his death was clearly foreshadowed in the beginning. It was the clearest warning sign you could ever have in a movie.

    Neteyam had a close and trusting relationship with his father, especially because Neteyam would do his best to stay out of trouble and follow his father's orders. Jake taught him patiently and lovingly, but at the same time was demanding and strict. Neteyam tried to live up to his father and his achievements, but Jake feared for his safety and tried to protect him from threats. He had a dilemma when his son wanted to fight alongside him in a real war. Jake mourned Neteyam and mistook Lo'ak for him after he rescued him from drowning.

    Especially if you have siblings, everybody has had a netayam in their lives. The more beloved child that could do no wrong or is doing way better than you. His character did serve a good part in the story in order to make lo ak grow in his own two feet. He was funny and caring as a older brother. I think he was fleshed out enough for his death to be meaningful. Could it have been done more? Maybe then the movie would even be longer. I enjoyed the film nonetheless and can't wait for the sequel. I would like to see how neytiri has to deal with accepting spider into her family. There is still some unresolved tension between them.

The masks of the prefect child and prodigy clan member fell off and we could see him for who he reaaly was at his most vulnerable.

    From the beginning of the movie I was sure Neteyam was probably going to die. Being the first son and every time being involved in BS because of his brother's bad choices, it was textbook movie plot - young character, who can't be blamed because not adult, does something reckless resulting in the death of someone else - making the stupid character more important even though it was their fault and they are forgiven just because. Now the better character is gone, thanks Lo'ak.

  • @yurisucupira
    @yurisucupira11 ай бұрын

    I watched the movie and to me Neteyam is Neytiri. Even the names are similar by sharing some phonetically similar syllables: NE-TE-Y-am, NE-Y-TI-ri. Like Neytiri, Neteyam has strong roots in the local culture, he obeys the Omatikaya ways, he's disciplined, obeys his father's and mother's orders, he's the model of a good warrior Na'vi kid exactly like Neytiri certainly was when she was a kid. On the other hand, Lo'ak is like Jake Sully in the beginning of the 1st movie: impulsive, _strong heart, no fear,_ but _making noise, don't know what to do. (...) Stupid. Ignorant like a child_ (I'm intentionally using the words that Neytiri used to describe Jake Sully after she saved him from the nantangs - hyena-like viperwolves - in the 1st movie). Like Jake Sully, Lo'ak has a lot of potential for leadership, but 1st he needs guidance, he needs to learn how to control his impulses, think before doing and then doing things more effectively (as his father learned from Neytiri). Lo'ak and Jake Sully also share some phonetical similarities: the _LO_ part resembles the _LLY_ in _suLLY_ (also notice that there is no _L_ syllable in Neytiri's name), and the _AK_ part equals the _AK_ one in _jAKe._

    Since I saw the movie, I feel like Neteyam and Lo’ak’s relationship is a reflection of Jake and his relationship to his own brother. Lo’ak feels just like Jake did compared to his own brother even though they were twins. He still felt like his brother was better in every way, so much so that he was just the replacement when it came down to it. I’m surprised no one has even brought up Jake’s relationship to his brother as a comparison to these two, down to the death of the other brother.

    “I want to go home.” Yeh. I heard from people who worked in hospice and other settings where they see people die, and they say that whatever control they have of their faculties, that’s all they’re communicating with. And it’s a lot for them to handle including grappling with realzing they’re dying. They may only have energy to say what they feel the most strongly, call for those they love, etc. If they had all their faculties though, it would be different, but it’s not. Yes Neytium wanted to go home, but he already felt that with his family and was a brave and self-sacrificing person, that I don’t think he lived with any regrets at all, inspiring.

Basically, Neteyam is a Gryffindor with some Hufflepuff tendencies, while Lo'ak is a Ravenclaw with some Gryffindor tendencies. Nothing wrong with either.

    Neteyam’s personality: Kind, responsible and possessing strong virtue, Neteyam was "the “golden child” of the Sully family who could do no wrong.[2] Inheriting Jake's noble nature, Neteyam carried himself with a strong and confident demeanor and was well-liked by his clan.[3] Even other Clan Leaders, like Akwey and Ikeyni, spoke warmly about Neteyam and praised how much he resembled his parents especially his mother Neytiri and how well he was growing.[4] Neteyam took his role as the eldest son seriously, often tasked by his parents to keep an eye on his siblings. Jake and Neytiri viewed him as reliable and would take him on many of their missions. He strove to set a good example for them. He was very protective of his siblings and was more focused on keeping them safe than having fun with them. In moments of peace, Neteyam let himself joke, tease, and banter with his siblings, such as showing amusement at Lo'ak's poorly hidden attraction towards Tsireya. Neteyam desired to be a great leader and a warrior like his father, but his age, Jake's protective nature, and his siblings' antics undermined his attempts to prove himself.

    @@BryceEdwardBrown Could you do a video of him possibly coming back? I'll love to see your theory on it. I think they could sample Neteyam's DNA in some way and use it to make a clone of his body and somehow Kiri or the scientists can figure out how to transfer his conscious back to his now cloned body. I mean, how did they transfer Quaritch's dead conscious to his avatar body? I think Neteyam could be brought back the same way Quaritch did. Also, Kiri could also bring him back someway with her connection with Eywa.

    Bryce never misses the opportunity to curse the slinger's existence, and that makes all these videos so much more fun to watch
