#fire and ash theories

[eywaseclipse]

Imagine Ikeyni and Neytiri teaming up against Varang? They’d be so powerful. I want to see her in fire and ash please!🔥

You’re about to get on a plane to go to a horrible business meeting for a dead end job you’ve been stuck at for 20 years- oh no! But what’s this..? There’s some extra seats available since some of the other passengers were detained because of some “vision” they had about a deadly crash..but nevermind that.

Choose wisely!!

Now that the new Avatar movie has been announced and that concept arts were dropped along with it, i will now throw on how these artwork on the new Na'vi tribe we'll be seeing may have confirmed my assumtions skin tone wise.

I took a sample of that one Fire Na'vi woman's skin tone (on the first image) as well as the Omaticaya and Metkayina clans' for comparision (i could be incorrect on the first two and if yes my bad i tried to pick up midtone colours).

I theorised to myself, with the little help of outside opinions, that the blue skin tone of these Na'vi would be a ashy/desaturated shade of blue. The sample i took resemble a dark blue gray (or it might be lighter because there's a bit of shadow on where i picked the colour), so this theory could be most likely be true.

Avatar 3 Theory

So, we know that our protagonists will soon butt heads with the Ash People in the upcoming movie, and it's implied that they don't have a good connection/if any connection with Eywa at all.

But what if it's because...they can't?

We haven't seen much infighting between the Na'vi in the games or the movies, and the times we do see clan vs clan conflict it mostly results in social banishment/reclusion (like the Kame'tire in AFOP). In fact, banishment seems to be the capital punishment on Pandora, as the Na'vi value all life highly.

It does make sense when everything on Pandora has an organic supercomputer that you can connect to any time. Having strained relations with another clan due to a misunderstanding? An accident? Or even out of anger? Simply check their uploaded memories and see what the big deal was. Feel their anger and understand it. I believe this is why we haven't seen any clan vs clan conflicts at those time.

Leading into my theory...what if you didn't have access to the organic supercomputer? What if...it was literally too hot to sustain the plant life needed? Somewhere like a volcano?

Maybe the reason why the Ash People are so combative is because they literally don't have the connection to Ewya due to where they live. They don't have Ewya to act as a mediator to understand other Na'vi 's struggles. They're disconnected.

This is probably why Varang has the necklace of Kurus. It is so haunting to us (and probably to other Na'vi) because we know how a Kurus is like a key to their connection to everything around them. But to someone who wouldn't be able to access that connection to matter what... it wouldn't matter to them if they (or their enemies )had their kuru or not.

And with what we learned in AFOP (that animals without Kurus will become hyper aggressive and antisocial) we can assume that this (or at least a less severe version) happens to ANYONE without a connection to Ewya.

TLDR: The Ash People fight against other Na'vi because they can't connect to Ewya and feel their pain due to living in a volcanic environment where the organic supercomputer can't reach.

OKAY!!??

Official title : Avatar 3 - Fire & Ash

D23 Ash Concept art

I was hoping they’d go into that dark, ritualistic (getting major hellblade Senua’s Saga vibes) vibe but Goddamn this is went hard and is genuinely terrifying imagery - I LOVE IT!!

Severed Kurus worn as trophies, sharp claws (extensions?) and even a long serpentine tail with a lack of tail tuft. Fairly close to the forest Na’vi but ghostly pale and lacking stripes/ markings of any kind.

They also appear like most besides Varang herself are starved and emaciated (man in the back may just straight up be a sacrifice/mummified corpse) , desperation may be their main motivation - not sure if they’ll do full blown cannibalism. They’ll probably tone it down for the official film but I really hope it’s not too much.

In another concept we see that the ash Na’vi ride a new species of ikran - a gnarly looking creature with many horns and pale colouration. And there are A LOT!

This implies the ash people number in the hundreds if not thousands - a force well prepared to go against any of Jake’s Na’vi forces.

This version of Varang seems closer to what we’ll probably be seeing in the final film - wearing her riding pants and minimal wardrobe that we saw in the motion capture render footage last year.

And if my eyes don’t deceive me - flying right behind her is a Na’vi man carrying a firearm - who I’m betting is Quaritch. Will he be cosying up to the ash Na’vi temporarily for short term gains or will this be for a more long term goal?

Varang’s signature face paint seems to be a forehead triangle - we saw that exact style on ‘Quaritch’ in this leaked image, so he may be wearing her mark during a big battle.

I’m so F*CKING EXCITED!

So do we think Neytiri is still wearing Neteyam’s choker in this shot?

It looks like a different pattern, but it’s hard to tell.

[ultravioletlightwaves]

The fact that Pasta was involved on the game-winning goal must have made Marchy feel like the most vindicated angry captain in the league right now.

[zafrinaxyz]

you guys .... c'mon

those aren't her nails ...

those are sharpened bones she uses as accessories 🙂

[eywaseclipse]

I think the trailer might be coming out in July. :(

Specifically with the fantastic four film coming out on the 25th I think?

[holyraconteur]

A fractured Sully family would add so much depth to the story, forcing each character to evolve beyond their chosen roles.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING I JUST POSTED SERIOUSLY! This is me just theorizing what might happen in Avatar 3, 4, and 5.

Lo’ak’s Hero’s Journey: Lo’ak has always struggled in the shadow of his father and older brother, feeling like a disappointment because he can't measure up to them. If he embarks on a hero’s journey, he could finally reach his full potential. Perhaps by the end, he could surpass Jake, not by being a better warrior, but by being a leader who understands both humans and Na’vi on a deeper level. He becomes less hot-headed and more diplomatic while embodying certain traits of his grandparents and is guided by Neyteyam's memory.

Kiri’s Spiritual Journey: Kiri’s connection to Eywa is stronger than anything we’ve seen before—almost godlike. I love the idea of her becoming a Jesus-like figure, growing in power but also struggling with the burden of it. What if she learns how to become one with Eywa in ways even the Na’vi don’t understand? Maybe she's Eywa herself. But the more powerful she grows, the more enemies she racks up because there might be some Na'vi who reject Eywa and others who won't take too kindly to Kiri's ascension because of her demon blood, which could spark a religious war that the RDA uses to get the Na'vi to fight among themselves. Even better, Kiri could slowly become more and more detached from the physical world and would rely on Spider to keep her grounded because she's closest to him.

Spider’s Journey of Self-Discovery: Spider’s arc is especially interesting because he’s torn between two worlds. He’s spent his whole life being treated as an outsider by both species, and maybe the third movie puts him in a position where he decides what he wants. His journey wouldn’t be about proving himself to others anymore—it would be about making peace with who he is. Also, if he does breathe the toxic air of Pandora because of Kiri, he could be the poster boy for humans back on Earth, desperate to settle on Pandora and believing that they can because of Spider, sparking huge repercussions for both sides. Spider may also learn to stop allowing others to define his path or he's given the chance to become an avatar, but ultimately rejects it because he loves himself for who he is.

Tuk’s Forced Maturity: Tuk, the youngest, would have the most tragic arc if she were left behind. With her family scattered in the wind, she would have to grow up quickly, learning that childhood is a luxury in times of war. Maybe she becomes an apprentice to someone unexpected—an elder, a rogue warrior, or even a human scientist who teaches her things no one else knows. She could become a bridge between the old ways and the future, embodying the lessons her family failed to learn before. Maybe she stays with Tonowari and his family, adopting their ways fully because they're all she has left.

Neytiri’s Crusade and Healing: Neytiri, consumed by grief and rage, would either become the new leader of the Ash Clan or go return to the forests without her family so that she can prepare her people for the next war. The Ash Clan is rumored (and confirmed) to be more brutal and warlike, and Neytiri, who has lost so much, would see them as a means to finally drive out the humans once and for all. But war is never clean. Maybe she starts to lose herself, becoming the very thing she hated—merciless, driven by vengeance rather than love. In the end, she realizes that this path doesn’t bring her peace. Maybe she goes on a journey of healing and confronts her trauma, which leads her to reconnect with Eywa and make peace with Spider, where the two come to an understanding as equals rather than family. But more importantly, she makes peace with herself and rises like a phoenix from the ashes, guided by the spirits and memories of her family. I firmly believe that independence from Jake and going her own way for a bit will help her heal. (I am praying that she has a deep and satisfying arc because if anyone deserves peace, it's her.)

Jake Disappearing and Haunting the Narrative: Having Jake disappear rather than be a central figure in the fourth movie would be fascinating. Maybe he goes off on a mysterious mission, searching for something that could turn the tide of the war. Or maybe he’s presumed dead, leaving only his legacy behind. The Sullys would feel his absence like a ghost haunting them, each one dealing with it in their own way. And if he returns, it would be as a changed man or Na'vi—someone who takes a step back to allow the new generation to step forward.

[somefuckingcreature]

i dont really like any of the ena theories. i think its too early, since only the first chapter is out, and i think that trying to put some kinda sense into the general world of ena is BORRRIIIIING i like it WEEEEIRRDDDD. i dont think this game is meant to be understood. idk

[runningwiththeoceans]

give me Nyktos or give me deäth

[sutxdreamwalker]

I just realized something, so I almost everyone thinks that the Ash Clan are gonna have Na’vi zombies, and we all know Jamie Flatters is still gonna be casted as Neteyam in the future movies so, what is he’s appearing in them cause he’s gonna brought back as a zombie!

[acoraf]

I started reading "A Shadow in the Ember" before "The War of Two Queens" cause I read somewhere it was recommended, but... Why is Sera supposed to kill the Primal?? I don't understand why that is nessecary? Have I missed something, or is it explained later?

[taymartiart]

hey siri, play the boys are back in town
