Yeah let’s take his dead body on the ikran and hope he doesn’t slip and fall on their long journey back to bury him in the grounds of the forest bcuz I’m sure it won’t look silly and unserious. Eywa provided she let Neteyam go back home.

Netiri wanted to kill him and quarich SAVED him.

[@jandrew1994]

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.

I know that his death was made to develop Lo’ak and Jake,but I can’t help but be saddened that we didn’t get to see more of his character.I would have loved to have been able to see more in depth on how he interacted with and how he was treated by other people in the Metkayina clan.Because although he looked full Na’vi,he was still different.I also wish we got to see how he was truly feeling about his whole life being stripped away from him; his many titles,his future of possibly being Jakes successor,everything.

I feel really bad for Jamie Flatters, Neteyam’s actor. He claims he’s fluent in Na’Vi, which to me shows he really cares about the franchise when most of the actors can’t really seem to be bothered remembering their Na’Vi lines. I hope he’s at least featured like Grace Augustine in the next films

I think Neteyam not wanting to go and save Spider is because he knew that there would be a plan to save him when the time was right. I'm pretty sure he cared about spider and knew that they wouldn't all leave him in danger or on the ship.

[@iandanielcassidy8126]

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.

Neteyam got so little screentime and still every little frame he conveyed he was willing to protect and be there for his family every time. He was willing to sacrifice himself so others could live. If you watch the movie again and focus on Neteyam's character, you will discover that he is an underrated hero in the story. Every time he is shown, he does everything he can to protect others and stand up for them as well. True hero.

@@Deeonte u gotta be joking hahaha. I really hope u are

[@mayfielcl]

It’s so annoying that neteyam has such a backstory but we don’t see any of it and then they kill him off likeeee it’s not netflix Also is it just me that founds it weird that Jake abandoned his human lifestyle (and everything he knew tbh) to become navi, but 15 years later he acts like a marine and raises his children and takes family roles like a human? And yes he has to protect the clan but now they all use human weapons? Kinda weird

[@rock2946]

Right? They went from assimilation to just straight up back tracking.

[@OGXenos]

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.

[@KashaLupul]

@mayfielcl he was full navi until he had to teach his kids how to fight off the RDA. Simple as that. You don't stick to what you learned recently when what you learned forever ago is more useful.

[@cainorev-j4r]

loool mine too, but I'm still holding onto hope that he'll be brought back. It's basically confirmed that we'll see him in any form; flashbacks or resurrection since Jamie Flatters, the actor that plays Neteyam is signed to all 5 upcoming movies.

[@jandrew1994]

@@cainorev-j4r 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.

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.

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.

Neteyam’s death and funeral made me cry in theaters and it still makes me sad and tear up

[@yurisucupira]

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._

Fucking hell, you only discussed ✨the scene✨, and the tears started welling up 😩 I hate James Cameron and co for killing him 😤

[@kristelbrok998]

Also, happy birthday 😂🥰

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

I actually hated editing that part because I got a little too emotional myself

[@jandrew1994]

give Cameron a chance to write his revival story in the next movie. If the movies are finished and he is never given his second chance, then yeah you can hate Cameron and proceed to go full Quaritch on Cameron's first born son and yell "JUSTICE FOR NETEYAM!! BLUE LIVES MATTER WOO HOO!!!!!"

Are those na,vi wearing space suits? It’s mind blowing seeing na,vi wearing space suits for the first time.

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Yes!

[@noob_of_doom]

"would end up resulting in neteyam's death. Yay". In all seriousness, I love this series, keep it up.

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

“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.

[@h3mburgur]

I really love your videos! As a quick aside, I wonder if the Tsyeyk from Tsyeyk'Itan is the Na'vi way of saying "Jake" (and in that same vein, if for Kiri, the Kireysi from Kireysi'ite is Na'vi way of saying "Grace") I realize this may be super obvious, but it didn't click for me until I saw this video

[@NattiKay]

It is

[@GeneOrichu]

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.

[@Isam113]

Please make a Lo’ak video. He’s my favourite character and relate to him a lot. The dynamic he has with the rest of his family is so intriguing and relatable.

[@dany4645]

Literally I love your channel, this videos help me to develop the characters in my story in a more detailed way! Can’t wait to see the lo’ak explained video if you’ll ever do one!! Also happy birthday!!!

[@eternalbookwyrm9481]

I knew Neteyam was going to die, but I still cried a lot when it happened!!!

[@robertburgman4958]

Thank you so much for your detailed videos and your humor 👍 😂 You’re talented. Hope to see more of your work. Greetings Robert Burgman

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Thank you so much Robert Burgman! I greatly appreciate your appreciation of my work. You are incredible for supporting the channel and helping make stuff like this possible!

[@1ucwsr-9801]

Please Do Tonowari I thought He was a Sick Character with all his tattoos and his overall Maori vibe Id really like to know more about him!

[@1DesireXx]

Nah because now I'm crying over neteyam again. Even if we briefly talk about it, his death is going to ALWAYS get me. He's such a beautiful soul & I wish we saw more of him. 🥺 Oel ngati kameie, neteyam.

[@lilikaramirez1848]

They always sacrifice the best of men

[@popckyy]

no fr every mention of him instantly makes me break downn

[@1DesireXx]

@@lilikaramirez1848 facts!!!

[@1DesireXx]

@popckyy ugh literally! Like I'll never not hurt over him :(

[@Deeonte]

Did I miss something ..? I thought the brother was the one who died.? Or are you talking about the books?

[@iandanielcassidy8126]

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.

[@nicoraiya468]

How come I crying for Neteyam's death again just by watching this😭😭😭

[@mysryuza]

When I read about Ginga Densetsu: The Last Wars and the fate of the former protagonist’s eldest son, Neteyam’s death gave me deja vu and felt so weird, but I still felt so dang sad because I never wanted him to die. Something felt off because I didn’t know much about him and this video puts my mind at ease.

[@RA-ly2yp]

Gins son? Orion? Im a long time fan but havent read everything, so im curious!

[@betsakagami4943]

love Neteyam just bc i feel so much like him, beign the big sis is always kinda chaotic, and trying to be the best jus for our parents is so omg, when neteyam died i really feel it man ):

[@Yariii29]

We need to do a petition to bring back Neteyam! He’s better then loak

[@cainorev-j4r]

I feel like Neteyam was written to comeback, since his funeral was inspired from a movie where the main character shared the same fate as Neteyam did, but at the end was resurrected. I feel like Cameron definitely has something planned out with Neteyam, but if he doesn't... I'm 100% sure we'll see him in flashbacks & through spirit tree.

[@jandrew1994]

I don't think he's "better" than Lo'ak, even though personally I'm a Neteyam They're just different. Lo'ak is creative, craftsy, curious, adventurous, and thinks outside the box. Neteyam is practical, respectful, valiant, conservative, family-oriented, and responsible. Basically, Neteyam is a Gryffindor with some Hufflepuff tendencies, while Lo'ak is a Ravenclaw with some Gryffindor tendencies. Nothing wrong with either.

[@卞传丽]

he couldve been one of the BEST clan leaders. Like literally the best. He had SO much potential.

[@Sunny-ld4nn]

To me, at least looks wise Neteyam is male Neytiri. It's sad to admit but...... Neteyam died because of Lo'ak's recklessness, he died because yet again he had to go save his little brother's tail.

[@ChaoticAutumn]

Your avatar videos are the best!! I'm so glad i could find someone that like it as much as i do!! Is there any avatar theories video you're planning(? 👀

[@Sky_Editzz23]

I was confused when first watching Avatar 2, and couldn't tell Neteyam and Lo'ak apart, but I knew I liked Neteyam more. I was so disappointed when I realised that he was the one who died. The mighty warrior didn't deserve that 💔

[@timiafolabi9344]

Please bring back Neteyam he's has so much potential I want to see him achieve his dream of succeeding his father of becoming a leader.

[@_rune]

not to mention he trained all his life/ sacrificed his childhood to become the next leader only to have to flee his clan instead of fight for it. his whole future literally left behind

[@jayawisnuwardana7045]

I think we all can agree that neteyam's death breaks us all 😢 He's such a great character so far, can't believe he should die so early. But yea that's life

[@danamarvelstar]

I didn’t feel any emotion when he fell. Then again there is something wrong with me.

[@jasminevaldez7592]

I just love how you break down everything of each character.. you earned a new subscriber😊

[@JustMe-cs5zq]

I've seen The Way of Water about a bazillion times, but I STILL SOB when Neteyam dies. It absolutely breaks my heart 💙💔🩵💔💙

[@rainew.4447]

Im obsessed with these movies. The knowledge you have is incredible. I'm Def an avatar nerd lol thanks for all the info I love you page and happy birthday 🎈🎈🎈🎈

Please do the Recoms next! Also happy birthday 👍

[@coolman15621]

I’m glad we never got to see the neural link being cut off, because that would have so difficult to watch

[@gabrielaalvesdasilva9441]

Aaaand you've done it AGAIN! Another great video full of information i had no idea and i mean it (i've been obsessed with the avatar universe for 12 years now hahaha). thank you!

[@sweettt321]

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

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

So happy to hear that!

[@popckyy]

He had so much potential and it HURTS that he was just a plot tool :((

[@Strawberry.Roulette]

I never thought about what neteyam last words would be if he could finish it "Dad, I'm sorry" It Makes me so sad :')))

[@jehovanysmilian343]

Don’t really know what was the point of eliminating Neteyam so fast in the franchise we barely got to know him as a character and he barely got screen time that’s my number one critique for the movie

[@imisioluwaomotade9187]

I loved Neteyam and sobbed when he was buried 😢. This is such a great video Happy belated birthday

[@deandrejenningsjr1834]

bro had lots of character potential till he died😮‍💨

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

AGREED

[@cainorev-j4r]

@@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.

[@dubsonly]

​@@cainorev-j4rmaybe kiri can revive him

[@jandrew1994]

@@cainorev-j4r It won't be the same way as Quaritch. That was human technology.

[@saramoses3781]

Hi, I love your avatar videos:) Could you make an explanation video for Lo'ak or Spider. I think they are very underrated, A video about one of them would make my day :)

[@rainew.4447]

I don't know if anyone noticed the editing error. When Netayem brings Anoung to Jake after leaving loak out at 3 bro rocks. Anoung's injuries are on the wrong side. Yes I've watched it way too much lol

[@dragonfeet9832]

Yessss, i really enjoy your Avatar videos, keep it up

[@FEIN45728]

His death is very sad, he was an awesome character which I personally think he should deserve a better part in the movies, I’ve seen theory’s saying he could possibly come back in avatar 3, but could he really come back if his queue or wtv u call that long braid every Na’vi has is cut off? I’m not sure if you mentioned his Queue getting cut off but if it did there is a possible chance he wont.

[@henryvaughan7283]

I feel bad for Neytayam for being blamed for most stuff Lo’ak did. And Lo’ak never gets blamed at all! Even though he was the one (Lo’ak) doing everything and getting them in trouble

[@Yomomma824]

Love Neteyam so much but where's the loak explained at

[@mamamo.06]

you saying what you think neteyam wanted to say was "dad i just wanted to make you proud" MADE ME EVEN MORE SAD I SOBBED. 😭😭 i feel like his death was so unnecessary but for sure there's always a meaning and reason behind each happening in the movie, i just didn't like the fact that it had to be one of the siblings which i was starting to get emotionally attached to :( the movie was still great though neteyam and payakan bestboys

[@bandaidkiddo397]

You look like Neteyam, also could you do a video about aonung? :)

[@SweeetHoneyBread]

☺️ I’m rewatching the way of water and the hints of his death are so in your face I cannot 🥲

[@Kari-mf2eb]

Ok now I'm sobbing. Again. Thanks. Seriously though, killing him only for other characters' development was a dumb move, he really deserved to be developed more himself. I'm so disappointed(
