Does anyone feel that the story was a bit too obvious? - Page 4 - Tree of Souls - An Avatar Community Forum

Well said, Woodsprite.

I think the reason for it being obvious is so we DREAD what's coming. We know that the RDA is going to blow up Hometree, so we DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN. We know that the Na'vi are going to have a war with the RDA, so we WANT GOOD TO DEFEAT EVIL.
