Is Neytiri a problem child?
 

After the last time I watched the hometree scene where Mo'at tells Neytiri she's to train Jake, I got to thinking.
Given Neytiri's objection and Mo'at's reaction... it seems to me that possibly Neytiri has been a bit spoiled.
Could it be that she got away with some situations because she asked 'daddy' first? Watch that scene... she objects, Mo'at responds with a raised hand and Neytiri growls in frustration.
That sounds like a typical spoiling issue to me. (Being a mom of course I noticed this.)
Is it because she's 'royalty' and has been given more leniency in some actions because of it?

What are your thoughts on this?

Well her sister did get killed by "Sky People" and the Na'vi know that Avatars are just Sky People underneath. So naturally Neytiri would be reluctant to help out one of them.

I still would say Neytiri was still treated as a princess; the more laborous jobs weren't handed to her and had more "royal" duties like the one she had in the funeral scene.

I wouldn't go as far to say she was spoilt/spoiled (sp?). The Na'vi were a nomadic tribe and I don't think luxury was in their lifestyle. It's clear that Neytiri is a skilled hunter and a promising priestess/"tsahik". She must have had the same work as normal hunters, gathering food for the clan, just as regular members of the tribe. Her life was at the very least, similar to the life of an ordinary hunter.

wait, her sis was killed by the skypeople? when?

It's in the script.

Excuse the poor quality image. :shy: Sylwanin, Neytiri's sister is next to her.

She gets killed when the RDA close Grace's school.

RDA soldier's shoot her and other children's at Grace school *sad* after they set dozer on fire, imo RDA personnel should be judged for war crimes for that ........

lol, no such thing, war crimes on aliens don't exist, only war crimes commited on other humans

Yeah but obviously that should've changed when humans discovered aliens and were planning on taking their s***.

Now yes, but if its not touched in 2154 law standards then i'd say future earth is crap,

killing thinking life form in this example humanoid child is murder and they should be treated like that, personally i even can't imagine what monster that person is ..........

U guys are thinking of that being horrible...Ever heard of the Naking of China? If you havn't the Japanese went into china and committed unspeakable acts against women, children, babies, men, everyone.

Naking of China? I want to find out more but Im afraid of what I might find...

they basically raped every women they found, looted and burned everything, and killed people in the worst possible ways imaginable, one example is a girl and a stick of dynamite (use ur imagination)

This is wat im talking about(justreading, no pics)

Our discussion turned in wrong direction, stay on topic friends :P

Hahaha it turned in the worst possible direction. :P

Anyway, anybody agree on what I said?

/looks up to see what you said ah...well, if the Na'vi set the bulldozer on fire...they did start it...
