Kid's names

1/2

I loathed those kids. Generally I loathe brats but having to put up with 4 for 3 straight hours makes your head vomit!
The Original Avatar was a surprise cinema visit. It was OK. Not justified the media hype that followed soon after.
I wanted to watch the Sequel as it was that long worked on for anticipation fuzz and I liked the idea of a Water World and how great it would look like... allegedly by propaganda.
Usually I don't spoil myself movies. I had no idea it was mainly about Jake's bunch of puberty kids. Worse than a kid is a kid interacting with kids in their retarded Teletubby language. "Bro...!" I was about to smack 'em dead in telepathy! I was really happy when one died! Hope he stays dead! But I highly doubt that I will watch any further Avatar sequels. Movie didn't progress much at all besides the introduction of another 'race' of Na'vi. (Well and those Trash Kids noone needed... just like our Trash Millenials!)
Movie started and got advertised by James Cameron even years ago with Quarritch Resurrection as Second Effort to invade huge parts of Pandora but turned out it was merely only Personal Revenge plus a new robbery-focus on 1 (?) whaling ship that no Na'vi ever noticed before?! Those whales have that close bond with the Na'vi and not telling them their unnatural violent threat, rather isolating their own calb who just lost his mother for trying to desperately fight back that foreign enemy in group power? We later see what 1 adult whale by his body size could do. Imagine 20-30! Whales also know how to create waves/rough sea in group dynamic! Making zero sense!
Back to humans showing the progressed colony (setting up new buildings and technical progress) under now even a General instead of 'just' a Colonel as highest present Authority. So why were the Tree Na'vi so surprised when they spotted new Starships landings as if they hadn't seen in 12 yrs? It must have been constant exchange back and forth in all those years. Surely increasing over the years. It would have been just easy to portray that one huge arrival with the General along with the Colonel and a few thousands more after many years of absense.But no. Quarritch was truly only out getting Jake and not gaining land. Na'vi defended before Jake their territory. I have had always the biggest issue with this wimp being the Hero Leader. Turning utter ridiculous. Jake just cowardly running away - while doing so - only buying human invaders more and more time arriving in legions... after everything that happened in Avatar 1?!?? Ridiculous! In the beginning I was hoping for a better plot or at very least way better dialogue. Sure sealed in stone it would be the same lame conquest-story outcome. Good ppl win over the bad ppl.

The best part of the movie was the Friendship of the Sea Na'vi with the Sea Animals. The whaling scenes was the only worthy powerful sub-plot and it was almost unbearable to watch the EXTEEEEENDED hunting scene. But I do hope it fits it purpose for the dumb common audience to re-sonsider treating animals way better. Esp obese eating 'choices' and what hell we have created for farm animals switching from 95-5% vegetarian-meat omni-diet 180 around!
The rest of the storyline is basically like Avatar with endless fight scenes! (How many times were all those friggin kids captured and how badly protected by a hundred soldiers on deck for just easily untieing them over and over again - even by other young kids?) Traumatically overdone it just pisses you off. THAT entire movie could have been told in 45 minutes, still focusing 30 mins on Waterworld Introduction. Everyone who claims they loved anything but the blue-green water scenery is lying to themselves and all around. For planning 6 or 8 movies while producing 10 years THIS.. TRASH (there - I said it!) ... this hopefully will backfire BADLY!

Back to the kids. I quickly figured out that the main plot son is wearing a tooth around his neck. And that Sigorney Weaver Kid was the one Tree Na'vi clearly recognizeable by hair/face/- looks plus constant behaviour. But up to 8/10 of the movie I couldn't get her name (all their names actually!). Sometimes she was called Kiddy, then Kirby, then whatever.... while now reading online it was intended to be Kiri! Really?!??
I did mix up oldest son with Jake and vice versa in a few scenes thou. It didn't even matter. Didn't really like anyone from the bunch but Neytiri.
