A quick comprehensive guide and analysis of Tuk Sully or Tuk-Tuk or Tuktirey te Suli Neytiri'ite from Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Explained.
Go follow Trinity Jo-Li Bliss on this stuff!

Thanks again to @Disney and @20thCenturyHomeEnt for the invite to Avatar: The Way of Water An Immersive Experience
In this breakdown, analysis, reaction and explanation we focus on answering the real questions, like “Can Tuk take on a Thanator?”, “Will Tuk keep the Sullys together?” and "Could Tuk win a fight against James Cameron?"
In order to give the folks at home all that knowledge about Tuk, I interview Trinity Jo-Li Bliss (Who plays Tuk), I also 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).
We discuss Tuk's relationship with Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), Lo'ak (Britain Dalton), Spider (Jack Champion), Jake (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), Tsireya (Bailey Bass), Neteyam (Jamie Flatters), Ronal (Kate Winslet), Tonowari (Cliff Curtis), Aonung (Filip Geljo), Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore), and Rotxo (Duane Evans Jr.). As well as talk about props (like the blades) and costume design of the character.

@@manpritwalia9432 I genuinely don't think that the Sully family will stay away from the Omatikaya Clan. That's their family and where Mo'at is, she's the only known biological family member there (it wouldn't surprise me if Neytiri has extended family in the Clan either). As for the new Clan leader Tarsem I don't think he'd find issues with Jake or his family visiting. Tarsem respects Jake a lot and didn't want to outcast him and the family. So I'd think the Sully family can go back and visit when they want Tarsem might just say don't cause trouble or something mostly at Lo'ak. That would be when Tuk can get her Ikran and she and the other kids could go through their rite of passage of they wanted to.

Fun fact: A Navi's neural queue starts at the top of their skull, while an Avatar's starts at the base of their skull. If you look closely in scenes you'll find that, due to their mix of navi/avatar DNA, all of Jake's children (including Kiri) have their neural queues at the base of their skulls like Avatars. So even Tuk and Neteyam, who look completely Navi, have at least one physical hint to their skypeople/human/avatar heritage.

@@justarandomchick767 huh, I wonder why that is. Because the Navi and avatar neural queue difference has been confirmed by James Cameron and his team. Maybe it has something to do with reducing drag in the water as you can see in the scene that Neytiri’s high neural queue drags behind a whole lot more than Jake’s, whose queue is closer to his body. It could also maybe have to do with the shapes of their heads, which are slightly wider and less narrow than that of the forest Navi. That or we could just be seeing it wrong, because I’ve looked closer in other shots and Ronal’s queue is defiantly at the top of her skull and so does Tonowari and Aonungs, although the actually braiding of their hair does begin a little lower due the metkayinas style of hair that isn’t as braided as the rainforest navis. This can sometimes make it hard to tell. Though I do believe their queues are defiantly lower than a normal rainforest Navi’s. Though whether there AS low as an avatar’s is up for debate.
You can tell that Trinity really internalized the language and took it to heart. In any of these interviews her pronunciation is perfect. Such a genuine and sincere spirit.

Tuk will have a major character development in avatar 3, I think when she is a bit older she will aspire to become a warrior like her mother. I really hope tuk carry her mother legacy such as a bow given from her mother, as well as the same arrow feather peacock markings.

I need this same vid but with Neteyam, as an older sibling myself this character really touched me specially when you can see how the oldest is treated always having to be the “parent” mean while there just children themselves they are expected to know better and take care of things when they are just as confused and scared as the others are but they pressure themselves to keep there composure and to be “perfect” ur the oldest ur suppose to be an example and I’m going to be honest if Jake and Neytiri wouldn’t have relied only on Neteyam for everything that came to his siblings and if they would have taken there roles as protectors more seriously I’m sure that poor boy wouldn’t have died it gets me very sad bc I really did see myself in him when I used to have his age it’s very upsetting to stay stuck on a circumstance that you can’t really let go bc you can’t escape it and it ends up causing you harm like not having freedom of your own very clearly shown in the movie always behind Loaks ass and if his not Jake is on his back about it or mentally exhausted which I would have liked to have seen they really missed so many opportunities with this characters life’s and it’s sad that we really didn’t know who he really was and we never will ToT

He was born before Quarich died, because he recognizes him later. I’m confused where he is getting Loak and Kiri being the same age. I thought she was the same age as Netayam. If Grace became pregnant at the time of her death, then whether Neyteri got pregnant when she and Jake first mated or after the war, they would be born around the same time. You see baby Kiri and I’m assuming Natayam having their first commune with Eywa ceremony together.

This was a plothole that I found in Avatar TWOW; if the oldest Sully kids all have an Ikran, they have completed their right of passage, but it is only Neteyam who wears a cummerbund, which is what the Na'vi wear when they completed their right of passage, yet Lo'ak never wears one?
@SunScourge
Жыл бұрын
They get the cummerbund after their dream hunt, a rite of passage that was cut from Avatar 1 regrettably, and replaced with the welcoming into the tribe with white paint. An actual dream hunt is basically an acid trip that gives a Na'vi visions of their purpose within the tribe, after which you're considered a true adult. Lo'ak must not have done it yet ^^ I do kind of get why it was cut, as Jake had heavy foreshadowing (if you can even call it that anymore) of becoming Toruk Makto.
