Can you imagine the actors in their Lycra suits pretending to screw so that Cameron can digitally convert them into the Naboo or niavi or...whatever? I am surprised Cameron didn't require the entire world be recreated so that it added more realism.

    You do realize that Avatar is his only feature film since Titanic? So that's two? Out of the 10 or so films he's made? Not a bad record, imo.

    And yeah I saw the sex scene from the scipt. Obviously it was cut because he knew it wouldn't work. I wouldn't mind seeing it really. Might make a good deleted scene on the dvd.

    well my evil friend, it seems that folks who point out the inanity of this get banned.

    Well, I think that you're a bunch of bullshit, tireanavi. Sorry for the honesty. But it's true.

    You sound like you're wanting to start a group of followers and it's completely ridiculous. You consider yourself to be "the first Na'vi-kin" which is false. I think that you fell in love with the Avatar characters (much like I did) and decided that real or false that's what you wanted to charaterize yourself as being. Which unforunately can't be correct. Now, I understand that I'm most likely offending you and telling that you're beliefs are false, but they purely are. To believe otherwise is immature and childish.

    It's ok if you watched Avatar and thought "Wow, I feel the same way the Na'vi do about the way they live and such". It's ok to want to be like them or even wish you were one, but that's not enough to actually say "I am a Na'vi kin in a human body" because you're going to lead many naive young people into something foolish and fabricated.
    i really love the creator of this ridiculousness' answer:

    I do not believe that it is completely ridiculous. It is not anymore ridiculous than therianthropy and otherkin. I do indeed consider myself to be the first Na'kin - can you tell me otherwise? Can you point me in the direction of the actual first one? Is it you? I think you just want to usurp me and steal my thunder. That is how it seems to me.

    You are characterizing yourself as I am. I do not think that anyone who joins this community will be naive and foolish, because as a race Na'vi are wise and cunning.

    It is true that James Cameron only recently wrote the story and that everyone just now heard about it. Do you think that dragons and elves are valid other-types? In five hundred years, when the origins of Na'vi are lost in the mists of time, would you think then that they are a valid 'kin type, also? Who are you to say what is valid and what is not? Can you tell me when you draw the line - how "recent" does something have to be? You must have a Word document filled with dates and periods detailing how old something must be to be valid.
    someone has gone completely loco for choco puffs.


    on another sad ass fucking note: apparently these folks are calling their realization that they are na'vi "The Awakening." ok. that's when mike slowly backed out the door.

    we put up with a lot of bullshit out of people over their "beliefs" and i completely refuse to either take this crap seriously or to respect it because some unbalanced interwebz users have delusions that he/she is a na'vi.

    No way, this person is a genius. It's got to be some sort of social savant putting people on.

    I hope

    They must be stopped before they become too powerful. Perhaps it's time to send in that tank with the flames shooting out the front !

    Then he realised man had already shagged (evil) Na'avi in Evil Aliens.

    (I'd post the clip but I doubt it'd be allowed, what with blue alien boobies flying around and Scary Movie style ejaculation...)
