My thoughts and feelings about the world of Pandora

[Raiden]

Pandora is not a utopia.

It's just a natural satellite of Polyphemus that managed to develop life. There are probably lots of nasty toothy things running around (and swimming around) that we haven't seen that would love to make a snack of another of the RDA's science experiments.

It's pretty, but it's also a thriving ecosystem with some pretty advanced megafauna and predators. If it were a utopia, you wouldn't have to worry about these things.

The only reason humans don't have any huge predators chasing them around is because all of the things that could have served that role are extinct. The only animals around who could kill us would do it out of curiosity (i.e. being curious about a possible new food item), defense, or starvation. There aren't many things who choose our species as a typical prey item.
