quaritch in an Avatar Body

[SullyJake1]

i think they may go down that road. i mean think about it he is a crafty man. and he could have been located at some outpost controlling it.

[applejuice]

For that to work, they would have to resuscitate him... and it's more likely that his body was devoured by scavengers...
Which brings the question... if they manage to bring him to life... would it be him or a clone of him?

[SullyJake1]

that is kinda what i mean, like the one that was killed was just his avatar and he was controlling it from a safe location.

[Human No More]

He's dead.

Avatar technology won't work with humans. Anyway, as I said before, why waste billions on an expendable marine?

[Isard]

He didn't strike me as a "wheels within wheels" planner. I doubt it.

Where do we know this?

[Layzie]

I wouldn't like that happening.

Oe mllte.

Quaritch in an Avatar body?
That is just wrong!

[Spartan]

I think that if he used a Navi avatar then he would be reconized.. unless he went to a different clan and corrupted their minds and make them think Jake was a liar and a traitor..

you never know with Cameron

Ditto... and JC isn't a director/writer that creates loopholes like that and reuses villains.
Dead is dead.
unless... you're Grace Augustine who is with Eywa now. Anything is possible in that scenario.
When someone dies with TWO poison tipped lance sized arrows in you..yeah..not a big chance they're going to put you back into another body. The Na'vi would have hauled his carcass away and burned it. Jake would have made sure of that. No heroes funeral for that guy.
Avatar technology is 'hellishly expensive'... and given Quaritch's opinion of 'science pukes' not likely he's going to be using their tech.

Not only is he dead (meaning gone. No memory. Even a clone would be blank and useless), but he REALLY is not the intelligent/planner type. Anyway, him coming back ruins the perfect and highly symbolic (which I admit even though I hate overanalysis) death.

I'd love to see Quaritch in an avatar body, but only as a special feature that's not considered canon. Or as a nightmare. Or as a story Na'vi tell children to scare them. Or as a vision what could happen if they lost. Or something. But reviving him in the actual line of events in any way would be silly. And besides, I don't think there's more to his character left to see. He was OK in the first one, but more of him? Nah. If we go the same route it'd be better to introduce a new psycho who shows somewhat different colours.

they do have his body tho, in the book it says that the amp's are made to walk back to base even if the driver is dead. but then the navi do own the base lol so idk.

Hell's Gate is controlled by the Na'vi, several hundred miles away. Anyway, the entire area is full of Na'vi who I would bet made sure all the marines were really dead
As I said before though, EVEN IF you ignore the impossibility of his body being recovered, he's dead. There's no way to reverse that once cellular decay sets in.

[Boba Fett]

A good writer would always find a plausible way to resurrect a character even if we think he's dead and decayed. The question is more about whether we want to see Qauritch back (I personally don't), and whether he is worth the series of improbable circumstances that lead to his resurrection. Anything that makes a film less realistic is bad if it doesn't serve a good purpose. Grace is certainly worth anything that it takes to bring her back - she's my favourite character. But Quaritch? Nope!

I'd love to see how would both all sides feel about the new turn of events. And Quaritch is dead, we can't see what he has to say. But he's pretty obvious at that point. Especially with the two deleted scenes with Selfridge, you can see he's way too narrow-minded. If he was alive, he would still think that they have to come back and kill the Na'vi. What's going on in the minds of the rest is far more interesting. For example, the RDA might decide to come back and try to make amends. This has the potential to make the situation far more complex and the story far more interesting. With Quaritch coming back with them that would be more complicated - he simply wouldn't fit the picture any more.

Quaritch is dead. It's better that way. Period.
