God.
Fucking.
Dammit.
FIFTY ONE PAGES AND GROWING OF PEOPLE BITCHING THAT THEY CANT LIVE ON PANDORA.
A planet which fucking tries to kill you so fucking hard you can't even breathe. I don't think these kids have ever so much as camped in an RV.
They're honestly starting to approach twilight fan levels of stupid.
Especially these choice quotes:
"I love the feeling I get after watching Avatar, I don't care if its depression, it has really opened my eyes. "
Opened your eyes? opened your eyes to WHAT? to the idea that people can be evil? That environmental destruction is BAD? If it took THIS three hour overblown, hamfistedly written (extremely well filmed, and technically wonderful) morality play to open your eyes to these concepts I shudder to think what your teachers and parents go through.
or how about this one?
""just like I said in the dream thread, I looked at my hands and thought "What I wouldn't give..."
Try on: your family, your friends, everyone you've ever known and loved, your grand cultural narrative, the entire history of your being both good and bad. your home, your country, your world, every foible, every limitation, every accomplishment, every piece of technology you use to perpetuate your existence, every song, every dance, every poem, every book. every drawing. Every failed experiment and brilliant invention EVER achieved by humanity. Your legacy.
Am I honestly like the only person left who thinks that humanity is actually pretty badass?
I mean fuck it. The na'vi have like carbon fiber bones, claws, stupid crazy vertical leaping prowess and the strength of like a truck. After millions of years of evolution they rely on basic weaponry, and a USB based ecosystem. Fuck it, they're not even the top of the food chain. Their precious and innovative and marvelous ecosystem means exactly jack shit to a 500 megaton MIRV nuclear missile.
Fuck those pussy thundersmurfs! Do you realize how fucking awesome humanity is?
With comparitively little strength, no fur, no natural protective hides, and dick-all in terms of natural weaponry (that's effective against predators anyway) humans rose to fucking prominence. And these avatards want to give this legacy up? We've been systematically learning how to beat the shit out of animals, nature, mountains, plains, the ocean, and each other for the entirety of our existence. We are fucking AWESOME.
I mean for chrissake, half the shit these avatards want to do is perfectly doable human body. Lets take a look at what makes them so badass, shall we? Their weaponry! God, surely something as magical as a pointy stick must only exist on an alien world far different from our own! Humanity could never dream of inventing something (naginata, yari, guan-dao, partisan, halberd, pilum, glaive, javelin, Tepoztopilli) so powerful!
Their method of acquiring food, Then! Only on Pandora could I Hunt prancing herbivores with a hand-held mini-spear launcher! Never on earth right now in this primitive age could we ever go get a fucking compound bow at a Big5, and go deer hunting.
Their Homes! If only we had such massive firm, solid plant life that stretched toward the heavens, oh how I would long to hoist myself up, gripping it's protrusions as I climbed, so see the beautiful world from an elevated position. Oh if only we could go climb a fucking tree instead of sitting here in a basement bemoaning how we are not part of the Na'vi Master race.
A race so astoundingly well thought out that after ostensibly millions of years of evolution and flight, they haven't managed to figure out their major aerial predator can't look up.
ART! SCIENCE! TACTICS! TOOL USE! IF YOU STUPID AVATARDS COULD QUIT MASTURBATING TO FURRY CAPTAIN PLANET FOR TEN MINUTES YOU'D REALIZE WE ARE COOLER THAN THE NA'VI BECAUSE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING THEY EVER DID WE'VE ALLREADY DONE BETTER AND YOU ARE, IN REAL FUCKING LIFE, HEIR TO THAT EVOLUTIONARY LEGACY. JEEZ.

I don't care if Sigourney's old enough to be my mother, she's still beautiful and a great actress as well.
Avatar? Fuck Avatar and fucking Avatar fanboys, and I say that as somebody who loves Cameron's earlier movies.
PS: Thanks for the Paranoia-fave! A happy New Year to you too.
