What happens if Avatar: Fire and Ash doesn’t make enough profit to convince Disney to bankroll Avatar 4 and 5? Creator James Cameron has said he’s ready to walk away from the franchise, adding he’ll write a book to resolve the one thread Avatar 3 leaves open.
Why is “it’s realistic” the line your drawing on a space colonization movie?
Your entire premise of “the natives are out gunned” is dripping with white colonization. Why are they always out gunned? Why not show them capable and holding their own and are helped out by “insiders”.
Its a fantasy story, and there’s tons of ways to do it without relying on the racist “natives are primitives” narrative.
Logically, any colonizer will only proceed if they out gun the natives. Otherwise it’s not colonization, but war. And even then in war, the attacker usually figures they have a significant advantage, or else they wouldn’t attack.
There have to be some kind of rules or else there’s no tension. It must be realistic within the rules of the story.
