[@xxsugarlipsxx]

I know right! 🥰

[@tronam]

There’s a small scene I love right after they’re accepted into the Metkayina clan where they’re walking on one of the woven rope bridges to their hut and Tuk is bouncing along. It’s a brief moment of pure childlike fun that always puts a big smile on my face. 😊

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Agreed!

[@erenjaeger1738]

She the type of little girl would be happy to ride a 🦄

[@dawntide1639]

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.

[@ac860]

neteyam also has a human muscular build like jake, while all forest na'vi have a very slender skinny build, even lo'ak inherited his slim body from neytiri but has the avatar human features, neteyam is the opposite he has the avatar build but na'vi features

[@collecter343]

Subtle stuff like this really shows how the designers really thought through how the mix in DNA could be shown.

[@boredaf4721]

I never noticed this! Such a cool detail that changes my whole perspective on the film!

[@justarandomchick767]

except if you look at the water navi theirs start at the base of the skull too. you can see it in the tulkun return scene

[@dawntide1639]

@@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.

[@nettemarie8073]

I honestly hope that Tuk gets a chance to get her own Ikran and that they get to go back and visit

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Same!

[@manpritwalia9432]

If she gets an irkran, then they are going back to the Forest, and she is a teen

[@nettemarie8073]

@@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.

The most relevant line ever said in this movie and it was said by this KID "I can't believe I'm tied up again"

[@melancholybobbyjoe]

I just realized, Tuk and Neteyam have 4 fingers AND have no eyebrows so they look like standard Na'vi. Kiri and Lo'Ak have the visible human hybrid features like the eyebrows and 5 fingers. Spider, he just straight human lol.

[@collecter343]

Was looking at the scene of him as a baby again and noticed his fingers, didn't realize all the big traits like fingers passed over uniformly with all the kids.

[@MustacheCashStash125]

The eyebrows and fingers are probably recessive and dominant traits

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Right, it's such an interesting detail and explains why Lo'ak is considered more of an outcast amongst the other clan

[@Kaobion]

The ilu are my favorite, just because the one scene where Lo'ak was calling Payakan and his ilu he had with him was splashing the water and calling for Payakan with Lo'ak, was the absolute cutest ❤

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

The Ilu is a great choice for a favorite!

[@FriendlyGoat00]

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. For the family to stick together, she needs her own strength and risks taken.

Haven't watched this video yet but I physically gasped when I saw this video! I absolutely love these avatar videos from you, great work ^^

[@bbykada1567]

Sameee ahahhah

[@valerietubens3831]

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

I did not know that Spider was the Oldest. :O Neytam always gave oldest sibling energy.

[@fightingfaerie]

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.

[@partysuvius]

Specifically, if I’m not mistaken, Tuk is wearing a Kinglor flower on her armband. They’re probably not as common as Frontiers’ Kinglor Forest’s flowers are (given the name), but seeing as the two regions are near each other and the Aranahe likely often trade or visit their jungle forest neighbors, that’s possibly how she could have gotten the flower. It would be amazing to see Sarentu na’vi in the third film to help with the conflicts of the “Ash” people, especially if the current leader of the Sarentu in the game is that Sarentu. They’re peacemaker nomads who act as the neutral party in all arguments between as well as inside clans Also, I suggest you check out the game and its flora/fauna bc there are several creatures not discussed in the films like these super colorful snails. The mantis are also visible. There are yoten, lizards with cool armor that allows them to Sonic Wheel away from danger. Fan lizards are all over the jungle of the game. Harming the peaceful wildlife that isn’t a food/material source in the game harms the peace and you’re not supposed to kill them, but you _can…_ it’s mean but

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]

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.

[@blessedcocoa5729]

What was said in the top comment is spot on. As for why Lo'ak hasn't been through it. Probably cause he failed the first time in his iknimaya. And if he fails dreamhuntbhe could very well die. And o doubt Neytiri was gonna have that.
