In this breakdown, analysis, reaction and explanation, I give you the rundown on the history, culture, anatomy and physiology 101, and the way of life of the Metkayina clan. As well as explain their spirit brothers and sisters, known as the Tulkun. We learn about the Akula, Glider Fin, Hammerbrow Fish, Feathertail Fish and the Flat Skate Fish.
We hear from James Cameron on how he and his team went about designing the Metkayina. Explaining why they have no webbed feet.
My favorite part would be discussing the beauty of the design of the Metkayina village, Awa'atlu and how it works with its surroundings. Just like the Omaticaya's village inside of Hometree in the rainforest.
Along the way, I react to stuff, as well as show you Hidden Details, Things You Missed and Easter eggs.

    I know some people felt they were 'too close' to Polynesian culture, but as someone with Māori ancestry who is trying to reconnect with his culture (and people) *I* appreciated the positive community messaging with this particular tribe. Noble? Sure. Savages? No. They weren't perfect. They had their own hang-ups and mistrust (and downright bullying) of another tribe coming into their space. That's authentic. But what's also authentic is the acceptance of that other tribe. Taking them in. Giving them food. Training. And ultimately , respect. There's more nuance going on here that some people are missing. They are traditional (you could say to a fault at times), but they are about community. Family (whānau as we Māori say). And the Sully's became like family. That's totally authentic to the people that inspire this tribe and I thought Jim did a great job in giving them more dimension than simple "noble savages."

    Did people have a problem with them being closely inspired by the Polynesian culture? I think Cameron deliberately wrote them to be that way since they r an oceanic people and the closest inspiration of such indigenous tribes in modern day would be Polynesian. Cameron has also said in his documentaries of the making of avatar that they took inspiration for the Na'avi from many different indigenous tribes, not just native American culture. They pulled from some African tribes too. And I agree that Cameron did far more than present them as "noble savages". Their ways and understanding of their spiritual deity shows that they have a far deeper consideration for life, existence and the balance/conservation of energy than that of the most learned scientist the humans have. I just adore this world Cameron built.

    The reason the Reef Navi didn't help in the first was because of many reasons: 1. They don't use flying creatures. 2. All their versatile weapons and fighting is made for water combat. Not air and forest combat like the first war. 3. In the amount of time before the humans invaded any further sully had to recruit those closest with him in the shortest amount of time not traveling for a whole week to get fish people to run in the forest for them

Both clans are adapted to their own enviroment and will stuggle to surivive if they swapped enviroments. They will have to learn the ways of the people who live there. Forest people won't be able to properly adapt to the ocean and oceanic people won't be able to adapt properly to the forests.

    What people forget about the fight in the first movie is that the Na'vi were still gathering as the humans attacked. Quaritch did say that when they wait another week or something like that the Na'vi forces will outnumber them. So they attacked to not be outnumbered, so it could be that the Metkayina were called and were on their way. But since they don't have Direhorses or Banshees, they would have to walk there.

    Mmm the accelerated evolution is likely due to how dangerous Pandora is. The weak die, quickly. And due to the unique environments the species have to adapt a lot faster than humans do. Additionally, they don’t use metal or stone, or wheels. That’s why they have to adapt to their environment so specifically, humans would’ve likely done the same had we not ended up using technology and metals.

    Having watched the film a second time... I can say with certainty that the Metkayina abandoned the final battle (after their kid was rescued) because they were there solely for that, and to avenge the Tulkun. That means once that fight was over, they had no business being there. That fight was between Jake and Quarich... and considering how reluctant they were to take the Sully's in, as you highlight in your video, it actually makes a lot of sense.

I understand that Cameron doesn't want anyone outside intruding on the "family moment" and figh with Quaritch but causing this narrative problem, perhaps in the extended version of 9 hours these ideas or moments were shown but now they were lost.

    This is probably a bit unrelated to ATWOW, but I really wish we could see more about Mo’at, and I hope we’ll eventually get to see Neytiri become Tsahik. When Avatar 1 came out I was 12 so I didn’t really pay too much attention to Mo’at, but later in the years I noticed details like her hair. It’s so peculiar, she has bigger braids on the back of her head, but the coolest thing is her queue (I mean the long braid with the neural connection, I think it’s called queue), cause it’s basically split in half, goes around her neck and then reconnects into one in the front. I’m pretty sure it is for easier and more immediate access to connections with everything, but again, how cool!

The battle was huge and massive taking down many RDA Recoms, SecOps, and colonists in the process. The RDA manages to win against the Na'vi but took a lot of damage and casualties in the process. It wasn't until the RDA received support for a Na'vi Clan called the Ash Tribe. The Ash Tribe are Na'vi who live in volcanic and desolate wastelands on Pandora. The regions they lived in were a result of an ancient war between the Na'vi between those who are Indigenous and those who desire to create massive civilizations. The Indigenous Na'vi won but they spared their enemies who eventually grew to become the Ash Tribe. The Ash Tribe will help the RDA colonize Pandora in exchange for learning human technology, science, and other things. General Ardmore is concerned but she agrees to form an alliance and orders Recom, led by Quaritch, to keep an eye on the Ash Tribe. The Ash Tribe's help led the RDA to score victories against the Na'vi forcing Jake to strategize in defeating the Ash Tribe. Over time, the Ash Tribe learn human technology and science as well as how to reproduce them using the resources on their lands. However, Quaritch learned of the Ash Tribe's plan to betray the RDA which forces Recom to work with Jake to defeat the Ash Tribe. It is later learned that the Ash Tribe have no desire to conquer Pandora but rather improve their clan's lives through the use of human technology and science. Despite this, the Ash Tribe does not trust the Sky People (Humans) after hearing about their various genocidal acts. The conflict is later resolved. Avatar 3 will also probably focus on Quaritch and his redemption into becoming a better father and SecOps leader. The RDA does not always operate in Pandora as they try to also find other suitable worlds to colonize because of Na'vi hostility due to the RDA's war crimes on Pandora. They find different worlds but find none of them habitable until they discovered a world once inhabited by the Na'vi who looked more advance than the Indigenous Na'vi we see on Pandora. The RDA SciOps questioned the Na'vi's true history, how they moved to Pandora, and how they evolved to be able to bond with Eywa and Pandora's wildlife. Avatar 3 is likely the climax of the Avatar Series before we move on to Avatar 4: Tulkun Rider and Avatar 5: Quest for Eywa. The main character for Avatar 4 is likely Lo'ak who helps the Metkayina and its future clan leader, Ao'nung (Tonowari's son). The Metkayina with Kiri's help will be guided by Eywa to enter a Hidden Sea (similar to Aquaman's Hidden Sea) only accessible under the ocean. The Hidden Sea is where Kiri can properly communicate with Eywa with Grace, Neteyem, Tsu'tey, and Sylwanin (Neytiri's sister) guiding her. Eywa will teach Kiri more about Pandora and how the world's Flora and plants can save Earth. Thus, a quest is formed to save Earth thus resolving the Na'vi-Human conflict once and for all in a peaceful way. The story continues in Avatar 5: The Quest for Eywa. Neytiri leads the quest with the help of some of her family members, Norm, SciOps, and Quaritch. They will travel to Earth to heal the planet from its environmental degradation and damage. There will be conflict as RDA profited from Earth's degradation. However, Earth is now a wasteland with most of humanity's civilizations, cities, and homes wiped out. It is now an apocalyptic world now ready to be rescued by the people (Na'vi) they oppressed on Pandora. REGARDING METKAYINA We will likely get to see more of the Metkayina and how they play a role in Avatar 3 and Avatar 4. It will be interesting as the Na'vi Ash People represent fire while the Metkayina represent water (Way of Water). Let us see how the Ash People's Way of Fire contradicts the Way of Water.

    the four elements as earth, water, fire and air always work nice for setting up mayor themes, fith is of course quintesence, where all comes together and is fitting for Quest for Eywa. but I must add that a tecnical advanced culture is rearily if never been reformed by a technical less advanced culture. the effects of he Beatles hugging Indian philosofy had next to zero effect on western culture. All kind of flower powery and transsedentalism stayed pretty fringe. Where the side effect was an increase in drugsuse and addiction, not pariculary a benifitial effect on society. In stead of healing the degraded Earth as suggested in your Quest for Eywa, it more likely could have the effect of an increasing of narco statehood. But speculation and theorising over Avatar movies to come is always fun.

    I think the reason the Metkayina clan didn't join the war, at least in the first movie, is because they were completely out of their element, the battle took place on Icran and Direhorce back, two creatures the Metkayina have no access to, so they couldn't fight even if they were told about the toruk macto

    The thing about the Metkayina not being at the battle is explained pretty easy, they couldnt be there in time. They dont have ikrans so theyre only way to travel is by ilu and Skimwing or by boat which is not really fast. Then they would also need transport from the shore to the battle because they dont know how to ride Direhorses. Overall even if they wanted to fight at the battle they simply couldnt arrive in time.

How long the creatures can live, how big they can get. Even knowing the distance in miles between the forest people and the water clans. How fast the mountain banchies can fly and how long it would take to get there.... props to you my good friend... but I'd love to know where you got all this information from cause the movies didn't tell us none of that lol.... you talk as if you went to pandora and studied everything there is to know about all the clans and different creatures that pandora has to offer... can't wait for avatar 3 and 4 to come out...

    When I saw Cameron's first _Avatar_ movie in theatre, certain themes and core plot elements (like a planetary consciousness archored in giant trees on a jungle-covered planet; an Earth corporation trying to exploit the resources; the memories of the natives living on in the trees after their deaths) of the Pandora setting strongly reminded me of Alan Dean Foster's scifi novel _Midworld_ (first published in 1975, part of Foster's _Humanx Commonwealth_ universe setting), even though the story and characters are different and there is no equivalent to the Avatar bodies in _Midworld_ novel. And now some plot points from _Midworld_ which were missing from the first movie pop up in _Avatar: The Way of Water,_ like an immortality serum created by harvesting a part of the planet's biosphere that is an integral part of the planet's consciousness. Not sure if James Cameron ever read Foster's novel. Foster was pretty well known Scifi author in the 1970s/80s.

    @Bryce Edward Brown I love how Cameron went for the Māori/Islander look for the Metkayina clan and their connection with the Tulkun and the tattoos and the haku inspired war cry it suits this tribe because they live on islands and has a spiritual connection with the ocean they have the ability to slow down the beat of their heart so they don’t burn oxygen and they have tail fins to swim I love that Cameron added modern culture to the Metkayina clan. And for the Ash clan you mentioned in one of your videos I reckon they are based from Aztecs or Inca and built their city on the side of one of Pandora’s active volcanoes where they collect lava and mould and shape it into weapons and armour the Ash clan’s skin is heat resistant and they have glands that are attached to the aorta of the heart that cools down the blood and stops the Ash clan from overheating when they go and collect lava.

Tonowari says in the movie that the murderers of Roa (a Tulkun and Ronal's spirit sister) "must die, here, today". Implying that the Metkayina have the intention of acting out revenge on the sky people. I don't think that's morally bad. Just an inconsistency.
