What Would The Na'vi Think Of...

I still wonder what the Na'vi would think of Tyler as a person, though. He definitely has a strong will, and a fighting spirit, and his ends the Na'vi would probably consider noble. Though they probably wouldn't approve of his means (Project Mayhem), and maybe his worldview (I'm not sure what the Na'vi would think of nihilism).

Good point about the sparring, etc... they probably wouldn't care so much about that as they would about the nihilism. Life certainly has a purpose, and the Na'vi understand this which is why, in Avatar, they lived the way they did.

Here's a good one: what would the Na'vi think about Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction (Aside from the scary face, TM, lol)? A former hitman who pledges to "roam the Earth" at the end of the movie, in my mind this is almost an allusion to the apostle Paul in the bible, who, before following Jesus, was a self-admitted "Persecutor". Jules admittedly only used "Ezekiel 25:17" when he killed people because he "thought it was some cold-blooded **** to say to a mffer", but at the end he realized that it had a much deeper meaning (as Quentin Tarantino edited it to be). What do you think? Valiant of him to turn down a job of killing because he believed he witnessed "divine intervention"? For any of you who saw the movie, do you think that "Ringo" was the "weak" and Jules was the "tyranny of evil men"?
