A comparison between Tsu'tey and Quaritch

[Dreaming Of Pandora]

Not sure if something similar has been posted but here goes.

I've been thinking, Tsu'tey is a lot more like Quaritch than I first realized. I probably have stirred the Tsu'tey fans with this bold statement but if you give it some though it sort of is true.

You could say both Tsu'tey and Colonel Quaritch are both warriors, the leaders of their armies and both think very much alike in ways.

Both Quaritch and Tsu'tey felt like war was the only way to settle the struggle between humans and the Na'vi. Even when Jake first mentions he was a "warrior" to the Omaticaya, Tsu'tey immediately challenges Jake to a battle but his threat dampened by Eytukan. While Mo'at feels that there's more than violence to be the solution Tsu'tey feels that war is the only option.

This is much like Quaritch here. He doesnt fancy diplomacy too much and he too feels it has to be 'all stick'. Not Tsu'tey nor Quaritch supported peace between the two races. Tsu'tey being mistrusting of humans because of a history of tension and conflict with the RDA and Quaritch because of his duties to see the successful mining of Pandora with or without hostility.

While both of them stood for different reasons, there was a shred of common ground that they shared, and it didnt involve peace.
