Avatar: The High Ground Volume 2 (Avatar, 2)

Product Information

I didn’t like Jake being so obsessed with war before the humans returned. That’s not the vibes I got from the movie (ATWOW). I mean, I get he may be concerned, but seriously they made him sound so paranoiac here. Their shuttle must land somewhere, making the ocean the safest place. Water then begins to fill their room, leaving the family to flee outside. The group uses a beacon and Norm rescues them in a Samson. I don’t ruled out it might happen in future movies, but here, it seems so out of context. And anyways, why is Jake asking permission to the Olo'eyktan Council if all the warriors are from the Omaticaya clan? His clan?

Brothers (2017) · Tsu'tey's Path (2019) · The Next Shadow (2021) · Adapt or Die (2022) · The High Ground (2022) · So'lek's Journey (2024) Also, why is the lab so abandoned and dirty? Didn’t Norm and the other science fellows work there anymore? Not like pay-work, but passion-work. I would think that if they stay in Pandora, it is because they love it there, and with their scientific curiosity, they would keep taking samples and running experiments. At least you would think they keep it running for the links units. The illustration work is clean and beautifully drawn and colored. The illustrator has done an excellent job of giving us Pandora in all its hues, though a lot of the action takes place at night. The characters look like their movie counterparts and are easy to follow. In a council meeting, Jake insists the Na'vi fight and tries to convince Yeyatley to agree, but Yeyatley instead insists the Na'vi offer peace instead. Akwey supports Jake's choice, though before the group can continue debating, it is noticed that Jake's children are gone, with the exception of Neteyam. Because Avatar: The High Ground is ridiculous. It’s over the top, and even implausible at times. Not impossible - it’s reworked from an original James Cameron script, or script idea - but definitely implausible. But that doesn’t make it bad.Issue 3 [ ] Jake Sully’s fears have come crashing to Pandora, gun’s blazing. The Sky People are planet-side, and taking Hell’s Gate by storm. Jake and Neytiri’s children are still on base, surrounded and outgunned. He will have to improvise and risk it all to protect his family, his people, and their home. The battle is underway and every Na’vi is in danger. Also, I’m just conflicted because it says it’s based on the actual screenplay by James Cameron himself. Does it mean this is canon? What is a trait that Jake can't shake out about being a human? He was a marine. What is the Marines' motto? No man left behind. So how do you expect me to believe that Jake asked Spider THAT? No! Bullshit! But no! I think it worked better in the movie, Neytiri is no marine. This first book gives us an update on how Sully has grown his family and the politics of the Na'Vi as they reestablish themselves. Many do not wish to heed Sully's warnings but Sully knows it is only a matter of time. Neytiri will always support him but she now has daughters and sons to protect as well. Especially concerning is one human child the family has adopted but who worries Neytiri greatly for his human tendencies.

First of all, let me tell you, the art is so much better than the first volume. Humans and Na’vi are in proportion. Tuk looks like a kid. You can tell all the characters apart, and they look like the characters in the movie. Even the second part, it’s clearly the change of artist, but still, you can tell who is who, the art is just dingier. Now, about the story… I know Kiri has a connection to Spider, but she is pushing the “orphans” theme too much. I’m starting to think it would have been better if Jake and Neytiri didn’t tell her the truth in the first place. She is so stubborn to call Spider family when clearly her parents do not consider him their kid. I mean, it’s ok to love someone so much, but she is forcing her entire family to comply. I mean, I can’t believe Lo’ak here was the only kid with common sense. Kiri put herself and her siblings in danger. Lo’ak here is younger, so, yeah, no doubt why he’s the rebel one in The Way of Water, he’s just doing like Neteyam and Kiri. But that’s exactly why the graphic novel is the perfect medium to explore ideas like this. It’s perfect, low-stakes, over-the-top AU fun. In addition, the art was gorgeous, though it wasn’t always easy to tell the children apart; they didn’t resemble their film counterparts as closely as their parents did, but that was my only gripe. The landscapes, flora and fauna were all distinctly and recognisably Pandoran, and the dialogue was fine, though not as tight, natural, and imbued with character as James Cameron’s is.

Avatar: The High Ground, Volume 1 was all set-up, while Volume 2 is payoff, payoff, payoff. Nothing but net, baby. (You can see my review for Volume 1 here, if you're interested. Might add some much-needed context for the 'Na'vi in space' premise.) Ok, this is hilarious, Neytiri is behaving like Spider is that rebel bad boy who is coming to take her saint daughter’s virtue LOL. She is too psychotic. The child is not to blame for the sins of the father. Also, isn’t she been a little too much hypocrite? She is married to Jake, a human, maybe not in body, but he still has his human mind. Eventually, Cameron decided to not turn the script into a movie. Instead, some elements of it were restructured into the first two sequels. It was decided to relaunch the Avatar: The High Ground script in the form of a graphic novel that tells the story of the Na'vi between Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water. [1] After years of peace, Jake has settled down with Neytiri and raised a family, consisting of Neteyam, Lo'ak and Tuktirey, as well as their adoptive children Miles Socorro and Kiri. Meanwhile, Norm Spellman has become a foster father for a group of Na'vi orphans.
