Because furries went to see it 25 times each giving the wrong impression of being popular.

I'd give it an award for the most obvious deus ex machina EVER...

Haven't see this thread before. Please, do continue.

mmorpgfags saw it, dream they can become their avatars and fuckin cried when they realised they cannot and so they watch it again just to feel good about it

For reasons you are obviously too dumb/disturbed to understand.

Well thanks for confirming what I already knew. This movie was predictable and boring as fuck. All I've been hearing is about how The Hurt Locker is such a shit movie compared to Avatar yet, while I thought The Hurt Locker was only "good", Avatar was unbelievably crappy.

Is it still playing at that 3D theater?

Of course!!!! The Deus Ex Machina is about how contrived this random element is. It was impossible for the heroes to succeed without a "goddess"'s intervention. That's the very definition of a Deus Ex Machina, hell it's how it originated in greek theatre. It's fucking abysmal. Just b/c you knew that this level of terrible storytelling was going to unfold doesn't mean it wasn't terrible.

>>7630858

But we had them, we HAD THEM, I was hoping against all hope that maybe (just MAYBE) Cameron had the balls to allow the humans to kill off the blue menace, along with some poignant message about teh evils of greed (yadda yadda), but NO, we had to have the fucking planet coming to the rescue.

I want fucking orbital bombardment in the sequel, and that race traitor crucified for his faggotry...

>>7630880

Your butt reconstructive surgery will be bigger than Avafail's budget.

>>7630886

>>7630879

So you still haven't learned the definition of deus ex machina since the other thread where you wer proven wrong? I guess dumb people never learn.

But for the record the defining characteristic of a deus ex machina is that it comes out of nowhere. Obviously Eywa doesn't fit the definition, hence it is not a deus ex machina. You're just caught up on the deus part of the word, without understanding the proper use of the term.

>That's what people who don't dress up in blue paint and try to buttfuck their pet cats believe.

>I want fucking orbital bombardment in the sequel

That's the most hilarious and glaring plot hole in the whole movie. Yeah, the little stupid blue furries live in peace until the giant spaceship that Mother Eywa can't do shit about hovers outside Pandora's atmosphere and turns the little faggots into nuclear vapor.

Then, the mining op commences again.

Anything other than this will be contrived bullshit.

>>7630911

You fail, like, epically. Deus Ex Machina is about divine intervention, were a god (or it's equivalent) comes at the eleventh hour to turn the tide, which happened in Avatar, and was handled in such a gay way that it was painful to watch...

Yes it is, and no it wouldn't. It didn't come out of nowhere. Aren't you haters always saying how predictable the plot was? If it was predictable like you say, then how could that have come out of nowhere? You can't even keep your bullshit straight anymore. Not surprising for people so stupid they can't even understand what a deus ex machina is, even though they teach that to junior high school students.

I love that an entire military operation is fighting indiginous peoples and they forget to bring along a bomb. Got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Oh, sure, they have battlemechs, but a MISSILE?! Pfffffft, that's crazy-talk.

>>7630999
LOL

>>7630949

Jack is a retard if he believes that his little "victory" against something that equates a security firm/PMC is anything definitive...

I mean, it's not like humans haven't set moral standards aside in pursuit of more practical goals before, and here it wouldn't even involve killing humans, just some blue cat savages.

BTW, no need to nuke, just pepper the planet with custom tailored virus bombs and wait 6 months...

>>7630999
And? What the hell is an award supposed to mean?

.. Oh Christ, don't tell me you think The Hurt Locker is a good movie!

Avatar Avafailed

>>7631004
>Oh, sure, they have battlemechs, but a MISSILE?! Pfffffft, that's crazy-talk.

They had missiles. They fired hundreds of them into the big tree.

>>7630949

so in the future private contractors and everyone else, can buy nukes in a shopping mall? sure it isn't Obama's administration.

>>7631004

They're not military, just a security branch of the corp and therefore (I believe) have no access to battleships...

>>7631003
It came out of nowhere in regards to the plot and the characters in it. Regardless of whether the audience knows it's coming or not, the characters were in an insolluble problem, the only escape from which was their goddess flying in on her Captain Planet war machine, which she did.

We knew that it was the only way for these little morons to be saved, and they were.

But in terms of the story it destroyed the internal logic (note that they even explicitly say in the movie that "Mother Eywa" doesn't interfere in shit).

It was the only solution to their problem, so they brook the movie's own logic, and magically here came the planet to save the day.

>>7631016

>what is an award supposed to mean?

>>7631038
>>7631038
Oh, so they have access to gunships, battlemechs, and interstellar spaceships...but not missiles that could be fired from orbit?

Do you realize how fucking stupid that sounds?

"Here, we trust you with the most advanced technology known to mankind. But not missiles! Nosir."

>>7631039
>It came out of nowhere in regards to the plot and the characters in it.

No it didn't. They had spent the previous two hours talking about it. If you thought it came out of nowhere, then you are even dumber than I thought. Even my 7 year old nephew knew that was coming.

>>7631028
Oh, so they let them have battlemechs, rockets, gunships, and interstellar spacecraft...but not a missile that could be fired form orbit? What, that's just risking too much?

>>7631001
YOUR BUTTHURT IS OFF THE CHARTS

>>7631058
They spent two hours saying she DOES NOT INTERFERE. And then, to save the heroes from their problem, she did. Yay.

Go buttfuck your cat you blue furfag.

>>7631067
Jeez, even I can see that you are samefagging...

>>7631061

Why would they need a missile that big? There was no technologically advanced civilization on Pandora. Up until then all the conflicts had been small. There was no reason to believe the tribes would join together. There was no reason to bring orbital bombardment tech with them.

>>7631051
>>7631061

Are you seriously comparing the equivalent of having a Blackhawk and Apache to having a nuke?

They aren't there to conquer the planet, nor it this an official, government backed expedition. It's just a mining company and it's security detail, that sure as fuck didn't expect the planet to assault them.

And, btw, they still kicked blue furry ass...

>>7631067

Goddamn those are seriously retarded.

>>7631001
>>7631080

SAMEFAG

>>7631091
>that big

Big? Who needs big? They need a missile that they can fire from orbit so they don't have to engage the enemy in ground ops.

FFS, they brought goddamn battlemechs and rockets and soldiers, but not a missile. That's ALL they need was one missile, and they just happen to forget ot bring it.

And unless you're COMPLETELY retarded, then you do realize that Avatar 2 will consist of this:

1. Spaceship arrives at Pandora.
2. Spaceship lobs 1 missile at every single Na-Vi settlement.
3. Mining resumes.

What, you think the dire need for "unobtainium" is going to magically disappear b/c a bunch of fucking blue cat-furries threw sticks at some soldiers?

Hey! Did you guys know that Avafag Avafailed at EVERY FUCKING TURN?!

>>7631112
This story is already better than Avatar 1

Its not, stay home.

>>7631094
I didn't sya "Nuke" did I retard? You keep putting words in my mouth to try and make your point (dat strawman!)

They had missiles right? Fuckloads of missiles right? But not one that could be fired from their giant spaceship? It could have been no more powerful than a Tomahawk. THat's all they needed. 1 Tomahawk missile.

But suuuuuuuuure, they have tanks, battlemechs, missiles, rockets, flamethrowers, a whole fucking arsenal, but not 1 missile that fires from orbit.

Sure.

Of course.

>>7631112

Again, there was no perceived threat that would have warranted the need for an orbital platform of any kind, nor do we know if having something like that is allowed for a corporation.

And BTW, the ship that came was a transport, designed to just bring shit, not orbit the planet and kill furries...

In hindsight it might appear stupid, but it's like saying that you'd need an aircraft carrier to fight Native Americans...

>>7631073

Exactly, moron. That's why it was good. There was no hope because Eywa wasn't going to protect anyone, but then Eywa changes its mind and saves the day. It's like the Rhohirrim in Lord of the Rings. They were going to be neutral do-nothing buttfuckers but then they changed their mind and saved the day at Gondor. Those sort of turning of the tide moments make a movie that much better.

>>7631153
>Implying so much shit that isn't specifically mentioned once in the movie.
1. They never said it was solely transport.
2. If they didn't think there was a threat from the Na'Vi then that's why they brought battlemechs, tanks, gunships, rockets, flamethrowers, etc.? To play pattycake with the natives?
3. And that's the best part, as you so eloquently point out. These people had the technology of Native Americans yet beat a force that was armed better than current technology even allows for. So ludicrous it makes your head spin.

And, all in all, further proof that Avatar 2 consists of a missile bombardment from space, lasting all of 1 hour, followed by mining.

>>7631160
>Doesn't understand that he just called a Deus Ex Machina a "good" storytyelling element.

So. So. So. Stupid.

Furries will stoop to no lows to try and share their furfaggotry with the world, will they?

>>7631135

Seriously dude, were on the same fucking side, I wanted the Na'vi just as dead, but you keep confusing a mining operation with a fully fledged military expedition..

Remember that they had to "improvise" their bomber. The scope of their arsenal was to protect the human mining base, not fight a war with the savages...

>>7630949
the biggest plothole was the fact that instead of using conventional bombing techniques the Coffee mug guy decided to fill a cargo plane with raw exsplosives and push them out the door.

>>7631160
Lmfao, you do realize that you just admitted it's a Deus Ex Machina right?
>Eywa changed her mind
Ohhhh, the Goddess who NEVER interferes broke the internal logic of the story and MAGICALLY appears at the 1 second she's needed most to save our poor beleaguered heroes! HOORAY! (Deus Ex Machina)

>>7631177

How do you not understand a concept so simple? They knew the Na'vi were hostile and a threat. But not a big enough threat to warrant orbital nukes. They thought they could contain the Na'vi with a few gunships and some conventional explosives. They were wrong. They will probably return with even more firepower.

>>7631189
And yet they had missiles and gunships, didn't they? Nod your head.

So they had missiles. Lots of missiles. But magically didn't have one that could be fired from 1 mile in the air.

That is, literally, your argument. Congratulations on being an apologist for James Cameron's inferior storytelling.

>>7631190
also high tech battle amour cant even stop arrows.

>>7631135

sure, orbital weapons, can i have some for me? sounds like the second amendment.

>>7631199
Broke the internal logic? So the navi were wrong. Deal with it.

/r/ing shoop of Na'Vi arrows penetrating Titanic's hull

>>7631199

You still don't know the definition of deus ex machina do you? The defining characteristic is that it is a new element introduced at the last moment to change the story. Eywa was not a new element. It was introduced hours before hand.

How can you be this stupid? It is not a hard concept to grasp.

>>7631208
>>7631208
>>7631208
:>orbital nukes

I love how you keep saying something as though that's what I said. Listen carefully you dumb fucking child: I never said nukes. They didn't NEED nukes. They needed 1 missile. 1

A single tomahawk which, omfg, we have today, let alone in the future, and they could've ended the whole problem couldn't they? Yet they have no tomawhawk.

They have OTHER missiles, by the thousands, but not the single 1 they need to win.

So they thought it was worth bringing FUCKLOADS of missiles and gunships but not 1 single missile that could have made the Na'Vi lose? How CONVENIENT! Why it's almost as convenient as a goddess showing up in the last 2 seconds to save the day!

>>7631216
>>7631216
>>7631216
Lmfao, that was also awesome.

"Battlemechs designed for hand to hand combat and gunships designed for dogfights...brought down by sticks."

So goddamn stupid.

And the bigass knife for the mech. Hilariously retarded.

>>7631237
>A single tomahawk which, omfg, we have today, let alone in the future, and they could've ended the whole problem couldn't they?

No. One tomahawk wouldn't kill several million Na'vi spread all over the planet. Did you think all the Na'vi would stand still on a giant red X and wait for the bomb to hit them?

>>7631177

1. Admittedly yes, but to me it didn't look like a battleship
2. Tanks? There were no tanks, and the rest of the equipment was there to secure the survaivl of the base, since Pandora isn't that much of a friendly planet.
3. The Na'vi beat shit, by the time the Deus Ex Machina happened they were in full retreat, with the tails between their legs...

>>7631190

Maybe because Colonel Badass didn't have a bomber at hand?

>>7631234
but it was established that she NEVER interfered.

And then she interfered for no raisin.

>>7631254
it would of blew up the internet tree.

>>7631258
Interfered for no reason? ............................

Listen to you faggots, seriously, both sides, listen to yourselves.

Shut the fuck up.

>>7631258

And? That's changing her mind. That's not deus ex machina. Learn the difference. It would only be deus ex machina if they introduced Eywa at the last second and said, "Oh, btw. There's a god thing here and now it'll save us. We never mentioned it before because we were too busy."

If it was mentioned beforehand, that's not a deus ex machina. DEMs only come when there is no foreshadowing. If the story foreshadows it, it's not a DEM.

>>7631234
>>7631227
Deus Ex Machina is when the "internal logic" of a movie/sotry/whatever is broken to save the heroes in the last moment.

The entire movie sets up that Captain Eywa Planet never interferes, but then, just so happens to do so the one moment that the heroes absolutely needed her to.

Deus. Ex. Machina.

If you would just ADMIT it and say "I liked it anyways" you'd defeat the criticism. Just admit it and stop being James Cameron's apologists. It's pathetic that you have so much vested in this movie not having a massive Deus Ex Machina at the end.

>>7631252

The primary weapon of the mecha was the bigass rifle, while the knife was a backup. The VTOLs were fighting like that because the floating islands fucked up their targeting systems, so they had to fire using line of sight...

>>7631254
>No. One tomahawk wouldn't kill several million Na'vi spread all over the planet

Did you even watch the movie, moron?

They weren't trying to blow up "all the Na'Vi" they were trying to blow up 1 tree.

1 tree.

They didn't have the 1 missile that could shoot a damn tree.

That is your argument.

Also, let's not forget... Let's not forget, to pack Tomahawks, in case we need to blow up some radar station or a bunker.

>>7631287
My god do you even listen to yourself?

I feel like I walked into a Star Trek convention and said transporter techonlogy was silly.

OH SWEET JESUS the technobabble explanations!

Why didn't the Eagles just fly the One Ring into Mordor?

>>7631303
Yup, but let's bring a fleet of gunships and battlemechs and soldiers and flamethrowers and rifles. HURP DURP

>>7631294

If only they could have seen into the future, rite?

Why the fuck do you keep being so obstinate, they didn't bring over something that big because they thought they had no need for it, nor did they predict the race traitor fucking them over and zergrushing them...

>>7631278
>Waaaaaaaaaaaah, I'll never admit this movie had a Deus Ex Machina because everything I am in a person is tied into Avatar being perfect in every way! Waaaaaaaaaaah

>>7631329
Yes, if only they had brought weapons to Pandora!

OHWAIT! They brought an entire fucking army to Pandora.

But not a missile.

>>7631332
>I'll never admit that I don't understand what a deus ex machina is because my internet reputation would be ruined.

>>7631329
>that big
who said big? You keep saying "nukes" and "big". It isn't big. It's a missile. It is no crazier than bringing an army of mecha-warriors with big-ass-knives (god that was gay) and a fleet of combat ships. The only reason they didn't bring it is because it would've fucked the Na'vi in their furry butts.

>>7631304

I'm going along the movie logic. The floating mountains fuck their sensors, the why it happens they don't explain, it's just a cheap reason to evade the assrape the Na'vi would have suffered with advanced targeting tech...

And if you're gonna build a humanoid mechanized frame, give it five digit hands and have it carry a rifle why the fuck not give it a knife as well? It's not like ti's such a fucking bother, and it might come in handy...

>>7631341
>Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Avatar doesn't have a Deus Ex Machina! I could be an adult and just admit I like the movie inspite of it having a Deus Ex Machina, but my entire soul and being is wrapped into Avatar being perfect in every way!!!

You have wrapped your head around this made-up crap to the point that your veyr being rests on it being 100% right all the time and thus you will spew whatever nonsense you have to to defend the stupidity of it.

>>7631380

Get a dictionary and you'll see why you're wrong. But I guess facts don't fit in with your faith. Why learn the definition and proper use of words when they don't support your preconceived notions? This is America, we don't need no damned books or words.

The fuck?

You did read the part about movie logic, right? I'm not saying that the movie hadn't (many) questionable leaps of logic, it's just that nitpicking over a human shaped mecha having a knife as a backup seems retarded...

>>7631459
>>7631459
A deus ex machina (pronounced /ˈdeɪ.əs ɛks ˈmɑːkinə/ or /ˈdiː.əs ɛks ˈmækɨnə/,[1] literally, in Latin, "god from the machine") is a plot device whereby a previously intractable problem is suddenly and abruptly solved with a contrived introduction of a new character, ability, or object. It is generally considered to be a poor storytelling technique because it undermines the story's internal logic.


Dat is some Avatar right there.

I don't really understand why people dislike the knife so much. The suit is basically upscaled human with an upscaled gun... But an upscaled knife is ridiculous, somehow.

>>7631471
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

Wait, so the Mechs themselves have unlimited fuel or whatever, and so do the huge-giant-massive tree clearing things. But their saws wouldn't. That's way beyond the scope of belief.

Do you even fucking listen to yourself?

So you have no problem believing ALL The other shit in this movie, but it would stretch credulity that a big saw could attach to the mech and feed off of its internal power source?

THAT stretches the limits of your beliefs?

You people really are like religious lunatics. You're a bunch of half-crazed fundamentalists who can't see two feet past your holy movie.

>>7631465
Its a shit film about iraq war. Thats it, avatar was assraped by unpopular war drama. Made by Cameron's wife to add insult to injury.

Haha, avatards. If you lost with a wortthy opponent, it would be understandable. But this - this is equivalent of getting beaten by a preshool kid.

As far as I can see, there's us, not really liking the movie, but not really being bothered by some "plot holes" (lack of holy missile of mass death, for example) and you screeching at us for being zelatons...

If they had instead put an upscaled trimmer on it we would be ok. wat

>>7631478
It's a shame cameron cut out the animals constantly attacking hells gate and they were in the fight from the start at the end, due to the run time limit of IMAX he couldn't show this.

He should of cut the sex scene

>>7631521
Eywa interfering in the affairs of the things on the planet WAS new. That would fall under the "new ability" portion, there partner.

In fact the movie had established she flat-out didn't interfere.

That would be akin to, say, in Star Wars they spend all 3 movies saying that Darth Vader could choke people to death with his thoughts but when in a duel with the hero in the last movie he suddenly forgot that he had this ability.

Ohwait-

>>7631508

>>7631542
>In fact the movie had established she flat-out didn't interfere.

No it didn't. It had established already that Eywa was a guardian, who did not choose sides in the tribal battles. But she was still established as a guardian. Thus she acted as a guardian. None of that was new. You really need to watch the movie again because you clearly didn't get it the first time. It wasn't that deep but it went over your head.

>>7631562

Say this hundred times, and you might even belive it yourself.

But the bottom line is that abatap ended thanks to intervention of a local god, that appeared at last possible moment to save your heroes furry asses. Lets face it - all this big red dragon, and brave indian warriors wasted their time for nothing. Whole final battle was pointless waste of time. They would do better sitting around their tree and singing kumbaya, because Deus appeared Ex Machina, and won the war all by itseslf. Yay.

>>7631614
Butthurt that he's right? Whole final battle: Waste of time. Eywa does everything. The end.

>>7631606

Avatar forums are wrong? Who would have guessed? Because it's not a deus ex machina. It had been well established and was consistent with the internal logic of the movie. Hence it can not be a deus ex machina.

Just because it's a deity doesn't make it a deus ex machina. The gods in Clash of the Titans aren't deus ex machina. They are merely characters in the story, like Eywa is in Avatar.

See? How hard is that Avatards? Look at what the mature Avatar fans did?

"It had a huge Deus Ex Machina but I liked it anyways"
"I thought it appealed to me."

You could learn a lesson.

Er. Wasn't it quite clear from the sound that they had conventional gas turbine engines?

Er....um...dude...actually the story of Perseus, the Illiad, the Odyssey are classic examples of Deus Ex Machinas sooooo....um...should probably stop using those as examples of how this movie "isn't" a deus ex machina.

>I have no valid arguments

Because they're wrong. A deus ex machina has the following characteristics:

1. Comes out of nowhere with no introduction
2. Solves a problem

Eywa does #2 but does not do #1. It doesn't meet the criteria of a deus ex machina.

So then your argument is that they had a fuckload of gas for the mecha warriors but putting a saw on one is way impossible because of fuel considerations?

Just say it: The knife was stupid and looked hockey and lame. I mean, really, what guy says "I want a big fucking robot, and put hand son it and shit, and a bigass fucking knife because fuck it."

Lol, if you think it didn't do 1 then you're the best troll I've ever seen.

It was introduced and established. So how could it come out of nowhere when we knew it was there? You are the troll.
