Why the hell does everyone bum this movie so much?! It's overated, predictable, as many people have pointed out, the acting was pretty poor, the plot was pretty shocking, and yes the effects were good, but good effects DO NOT make a good film. People who say thst this is the best film ever made need to take their heads out of James Cameron's ass and actually think about what they're saying!
@LinkinPark1994 Lol Linkin. Park I bet you thought SWS prequels were the best films ever and Lord of the Rings sucked too. Right.. Please dude. The film should have won all the oscars and dominated the golden globes. A film winning nearly a 100 film awards is not one of the best films ever made... ROFL.. Someone needs an IQ boost.
Oh did we mention the film destroyed again what is expected of max box office even bigger than Cameron's own Titanic.. Linkin Park lay off the beer
ROFl. This is a joke right? I mean the 3D was good, but it's not THAT good. Holy shit, she ducked? It's not that good. The movie was too predictable though.
White people stole land and stole in big proportions. They continued to destroy the ways of the natives and expanded their ways of GREED. We are a result of that GREED. Thanx to GREEDY expansion that has no spirituality behind it, we have become a plague species. We can and will destroy earth if . Capitalism doesn't die. Thanx white people we hold high in the pedestal of shame.
I will first state that Avatar was highly entertaining and visually stunning. But I'll levy my biggest beef here and now and its not the predictable plot. My biggest gripe is just how "human" the natives of Pandora are and how they show too much relation to indigenous Bush people in Africa. The likelihood of ANY life form alien to earth having that much in common with our own species must be infinitely at odds with reality. And fusing our DNA with theirs??? We are making HUGE presumptions here.
@NocturalRyte lol its science fiction, no one ever said that star wars sucked because whats going on was unlikely :) this movie genre is meant to tell you what realistic genres cant... and also pandora is 5 lightyears from earth, so they probeply loked a long time for it.
great movie one of my rare 10/10. You feel addicted when comming out of the theater *-*
Yeah, and being only 5 light years from earth makes it even all the more improbable! Most stars within that range have already been scanned for extra-solar planets able to support life. Now of course we could assume some sort of Panspermia scenario as postulated by some astrobiologists but c'mon. At any rate, I really enjoyed the film.
This is what I love about science fiction, you can do anything with it; regardless of how impossible it is.
I doubt it GREATLY there are any lifeforms whose lifestyles similar to our own. I'd wish for once they made a alien movie world with dissimilar world/culture making them behave /alien/. We differ in cultures continent to continent as is, I am pretty sure there is something out there doing some really strange bizarre crap in their day to day lives =)
Wow what else is racist ? how about the new Alice in wonderland its got a white rabbit which is very offensive to all us multicoloured rabbits, the cricket ad now come on people.
How about the shooting the shit out of someone (games available at the age of 4, but you cannot show tit's ??) Where do you lot get off ?? get over yourselves ffs.
Uhh, no, the movie is just called "Avatar" its about an alien world called Pandora inhabited by native creatures called the Na'vi. The humans are on Pandora solely to mine out the precious mineral "Unobtanium", but the Na'vi are situated on top of the richest deposit of the mineral that they've found yet, so that's where the conflict is. yada yada I'm not gonna tell you the whole movie, but theres the main idea for ya, its not The Last Air Bender, just a coincidence.
@animatahr do you not remember what white ppl did to the native americans when they came here. and not only that but the fact that most of the characteristics of the Na'vi closely resembled those of the native americans. How could you not be aware of the awareness that Cameron is tryin to provide
The movie is not racist and does NOT have a hidden message. It's just you people who just because the movie has natives (which BTW resemble Mayan natives and not american) think that them whole concept is racist.
@animatahr what characteristics of the mayans resemble closer than the native americans? because i'm sure that the long braid and the communication with the earth is a native american trait. Mayans believed in a number of different gods.
@BeatlesHero it doesn't make it ok to blow ppl out of their homes for somethin that doesn't belong to you or them and then say we're sorry can we be friends now even tho i've killed your ppl and ruined you lives. not somethin i think a real friend would do
Its one of those original plots when a person is on 2 sides but ends picking the right one. I woudnt say its rascist tho.Just something that history can relate to.
yeah seriously! what is racist about thematically and metephorically retelling pocahontas? just because there ARE natives, doesn't make it racist against them.
The movie rocked. Plus it's only racist to racist people. Get your head out of your ass and grow up. It's just a movie. You don't like it, then don't watch it. The movie represented more of an underwater sea mood than reality. Everyone needs to stop being to dam politically correct. Get over it. Your wasting your time. Try helping someone other than yourself. the past is the past, that's why it's behind you. Let it go and live for tomorrow. I wonder if aliens would be offended by this movie
great visuals but the dialog made it worse. acting was not up to par and foreshadowing is easy. first time i saw the lieutenant army guy i was like "bad guy" and when they showed the native female for the first time i knew she was gona get some from the cripple
i think that all these stupid critics about Avatar being a racist movie are really non-sense!!! James Cameron has done a great movie and even if there is a message behind it, isn't it true that it was precisely the white Europeans (British, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and so forth...) who destroyed the new world and its aborigines?
Why are white people so concerned about having their historical trash being exposed in a subtle message, if this the case as some say?
I dont think this movie really had time for character development. It was about visuals, and artistic view. It had alot of reference to mother earth which I think alot of people seemed to have ignored. Awsome movie in my books !
The movie treats the natives as simpletons, idiot savants full of pure goodness and new-agey magical powers, the same way guilt-ridden white people of limited intelligence think of American Indians
Check out my review of Avatar and Up in the Air on my channel's "Shara Ashley Show" Episode #3! Its awesome, it rocks. Its not washed like old smelly laundry forgotten tube socks. :)

Typical Hollywood leftist propaganda.
They pretty much demonize the military and businesses, and draw parallels between the story and the war in Iraq, and the supposed "exploitation" for their oil.
Why don't they portray the Na'vi leader as a corrupt, brutal dictator, who exploits his own people for oil contracts, or whatever resource they are referring to in the movie?
Beck warned about this, liberals have stooped so low as to indoctrinating our children!
Why don't they portray the Na'vi leader as a corrupt, brutal dictator, who exploits his own people for oil contracts, or whatever resource they are referring to in the movie?"
@TrySuckingLess although I admit that James Cameron could be (more likely than not) drawing parallel with the situation in Iraq, it is not the only theme presented in the movie. The movie is, among many other themes, about foreign invasion of natives, condecending, selfish attitude of people in power throughout history
It sends a simple moral message, IF we do make other people suffer for self-interest, we are assholes.
(con.) If you do not agree that that is what Americans are doing in Iraq. So be it, why are YOU over-reacting then? The movie OF course is NOT talking about Iraq right?
Why.. are you suddenly guilt-stricken? Getting so defensive? Don't need to answer that.
Gosh, everyone is discriminated, and whites are certainly not the most discriminated! The reason why Hollywood won't support the war terror/terrorism is because it's a war that is stupid and no one can win it, mostly because you can't kill an idea, unless you kill everyone that has ever heard of the idea of terror/terrorism. And please keep bullcrap comments pertaining to race off of youtube.
@TrySuckingLess What is wrong with "anti war" regardless on which side of the political spectrum u are. This is not about America or Iraq.
War in general is something to be avoided. What is wrong about a message like that? Why do u want to promote violence and war? Are you out of your mind?
Actually those disabilities are somewhat rare in underdeveloped societies for the simple fact those who are born that way die before their first 3yrs. 2nd world is different because they have enough wealth to maintain those people with disabilities but not truly help them, but in Avatar the Na'vi are more akin to Paleolithic Africans combined with pre-colonialism Americas where life and culture kinda scratched out disabled people early in childhood maybe even infancy.

Avatar needed to get rid of the love story and needed to get rid of the ending where everybody lives happily lives ever after. It would have been more powerful if the aliens lost rather than then the good guys ALWAYS ending.
@thebich2man5421 Even though the aliens won, many of the Na'vi died. It was pretty tragic during the fight scene, both sides got bad ends of the battle. The love story was simple and sweet.
was ok, but to be more accurate, as well as showing how kind the avatars were to nature. They could have showed their children with problems such as polio and leprocy, things that undeveloped civilisation would suffer. I like trees to - but there is a trade off to development.
whaaat? ok inglorgious b. was great, and the acting was amazing, but the progress and just progression was astounding in avatar. and at least to me, the visuals got you into the movie enough to make the plot dynamic and emotion envoking, despite its simplicity
the only thing this review realy said about the movie is that it has amazing viduals, which is true but there was far more to the movie then that. The diologe wasn't the best and the whole he goes in with one set of intentions and then falls in love thing was old and done before but still the movie goes alot deeper then what your sayng
why do they not like the dialogue? avatar undoubtably had the best visual effects out of any movie id seen but its not all about the visual effects. the story was outstanding too. i think the reason they think it was all about the effects is cuz they saw it in imax
What was so outstanding about the story? It's the most common storyline you see in N. American films.
"Guy falls in love, something menaces the girl, guy saves girl, lived happily ever after". What's so new about this?
The dialogue isn't that great either. The best thing about the film is "visual effects", "3D", "CGI animations" and the whole "ambient" and "world" we're shown.
Funny you should say that ...now that you mention it the storey wasn't all that original.
But its classic ...I think . . .well if I put that much into a movie I wouldn't risk it by making it an anomaly of a plot that might be the best or worst story ever.(hit or miss)
I think it was smart on his part too use a story line that never misses. Now for the sequel tho and there is going to be one(he said so) He should make some crazy awesome story to go along with the crazy awesome visuals.
I find it funny how people critique the dialogue when this isn't a film that focuses on that. It focuses on a far more ancient form of storytelling, visual arts.
This is the first film to this caliber of which it is a complete feast to the eyes that tells a story through visual arts. Like a painting would except its a movie!
It isn't Goodfella's where the dialogue is so important. Not to say this movie was all video affects it had a GREAT STORY!
@in5secs There are more methods of storytelling then dialogue. So that is complete nonesense that every good film needs a good dialogue.
What people fail to factor into their calculations is the form of storytelling Avatar approaches, does the dialogue justify that approach and method? And it does, completely.
AMAZING FILM.. my god avatar gotta be the best of 2009? btw if anyone cares its already been leaked online xD was at WatchAvatartheMovie . COM last time i checked muahaha ;)

This movie was a nature-nazi peice of crap leftist propaganda cartoon (a Marine who commits treason to join a bunch of mother-earth Gaia worshipping 'tree-huggers') with un-believable obviously animated backgrounds and laughable kiddie computer graphic characters whos movements rival that of the bobble-headed Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribean video game. I thought Jurrasic Park was way more believable and that was some 16 years ago!!!!!! What is up with todays CGI?
Haha, you have a real talent for stating the obvious. Where did my comment go? Someone must of really disapproved and CENSORED it out. Bet you like censorship when you don't agree.
. Every country should think deeply about immigration like global warming.............. see the avatar picture which is like immigrants. humans kills innocent tribe people. humans are like immigrants. native people in UK, US or any other country lost their rights and become poor. If immigrants are rich and treat native people as slave will you accept this? think about your children future they will suffer............I am from India.....
go fuck yourself in a tube! this movie dominates all and the blue people were magnificent. They, might have looked weird, but they weren't hooky. If you can't respect James Cameron's imagination just because some people were colored blue, than you can wallow in your own unimaginative misery.
plot was written 14 years ago so id let jimmy off the narritive flow (which followed stock standard plot progression from back then) EVERYTHIGN ELSE in that movie either topped or was on bar with the rest of current cinema and mainly topped it
I loved the Metaphor of the Natives (The Na'vi) fighting to defend their land from deforestation and tyranny from Corporate Colonialism (The Humans)! A powerful Sci-Fi / Fantasy that is VERY timely for our day!!! Please see my review(s) of the movie on my Channel. Thanks!
It was phenomenal!!! The dialogue wasn't the greatest in the world, I was especially expecting a far greater speech at the end when gathering tribes, but it's about the visuals and messages which are sent which make up for the lack of dialogue. The dialogue is set between a native and a marine who's entire life has been to serve the country, the connection between the characters, period, makes Avatar amazing. The expressions on the na'vi's faces, the performances were also amazing. Saw it twice!
You must not have seen it. This is a visual feast. The sound and music is excellent as well. The dialogue and plot are more than adequate. The story telling is excellent, without a shred of dialogue.
I skip movies like Transformers because I'm not such a simpleton that big explosions are ever going to bring me in. You cannot see this movie and be displeased, unless you are the most effite of snobs, and even then you will be hard pressed to not be won over.
I think i will have to buy a completely new TV set + the PS3 to watch this film in 3D at home. No seriously, even though the technic is not ready yet, i know it will be soon - and that'll be when i buy myself this new tv (with 3D stuff) and the ps3 :) That'll be so awesome.. Guess i will have to spend the summer working :D haha (im still just a student :) )
after i saw this movie i was like"dude this movie is just so awesome i loved it so much. all the scene were astounding to me and breathtaking when this movie comes out i want it and i want it now
damm looks like transformers is up for a challenge i mean id like both series to make movies and not one out do the other but im pushing more to avatar because of how much different it is... still dont mind seeing TF3 mega trons gotta go down lol...
im def a fan of this series now im going to get the game but dont know what to get it for either ps3, pc or 360 any one id add wii but that system fails at performance and graphics wiis out of the question...
Had to see it twice, both times in 3D & Imax, still completely impressed and blown away. It's an astounding, amazing and magical movie. It will be referred to in cinema history books for decades to come. I actually think the political, social and enviornmental messages are important and not to be dismissed. Cameron has made a new and unique masterpiece and nobody will convince me he hasn't. I'm calling it, "the movie of the decade".

MOst OVER HYPED MOVIE OF ALL TIME. THEY STOLE THERE IDESA FROM VIDEOS GAMES. Games like Halo 3, Mass Effect, Unreal Tournament 3, ect. Not new, and noting specail. Maybe im spoiled by HD 360 games but there was nothing new in this movie
@slickcross youre a dumbass for saying that it 'stole' ideas. you cannot 'steal' ideas. no new film will ever be original. every new film will take off of another film. im pretty sure the games you mentioned took ideas from other games. hmm Halo 3 is a shooter genre, it's definitely stealing from other games...
you guys were so spot on! this movie was so awesome. i watched it last night.. and feel the same way! the visuals were incredible and the animation was so great.. the aliens looked real to me! :)
I just saw the movie and was taken by the visuals and storyline. Thoroughly entertaining. My mind was literally transported to this marvelous world. Very entertaining, highly recommend it. Take note the movie is over 2 hours long! A+!!!!
It IS just eye candy. The movie has extremely crappy and predictable dialogue. In fact, the ENTIRE movie is predictable. While you're watching the first 30 min, you think, "Oh, I knew this was going to happen from the trailer." And then after that, everything is predictable because of the first 30 minutes. It's a horribly clichéd movie that deserves nothing more than praise for it's visual effects. As a movie, though, it sucks.
Jay19xxx stop being so insecure man & wake the fuck up! Using the words "gay" & "fag" is evident you are! Your ABSOLUTELY clueless! About life, nature, space,entertainment, love, art, acting, the process of making a film, writing a sceenplay, ect. You don't have an appreciation for any of it & that's why you can't accept AVATAR! Gay/Fag Wtf! you have no imagination & are obv not too smart! Just keep taking life for granted dude or you can choose to WAKE UP!!!!
Avatar was insane! The best movie of 2009 for sure and cgi wise the greatest movie of all time and no thats no understatement!! The lifelike graphics and the immersive world of Pandora, the amazing Na'vi and the unsurpassed use of colour just captivates the viewer. Not to mention great acting from the cast and a touching story!! It was as revelutionary as the Matrix was some ten years ago. I'll go see it again at the movies. James Cameron youve outdone yourself once again!! :D
everyone is visual visual visual i for one loved the story i hate that everyone just cares about the visuals the story is owesome and also visuals are badass
The story? Why don't you just go watch The LAst Samurai? Every fucking movie has this type of fucking story. "Hey, let's have Americans try to exploit resources from another area, and then have unlikely underdogs turn on their own kind to save these new people." What's worse is that the "saviour" is always an American idiot, never some intellectual. It's a horribly predictable movie with ridiculous stereotypes.
I love how all the people who bitch about America always make themselves look like such hateful, shallow, spiteful wretches.
It's really becoming quite pathetic and trite.
If you're mister original, why don't you come up with a real target for you angst, other than an extremely diverse nation of people who don't stand up to stereotyping, unless you're a pseudo intellectual given to following the crowd more than being concerned with intellectual honesty.
I'm not bitching about america. I'm glad I live in this country. For all it's failures, it's a much better country than others. Not ALL others, but most others. I don't understand what the hell you think you read that you think I hate America. Maybe that makes you the pseudo intellectual type, that likes to interpret things that he can attack, whether that interpretation is legitimate or not.
My hate goes to the population that loves the "pretty colors" and doesn't see the crap this movie is.
Well sorry if I misinterpreted your remarks. Some of them sure seemed negative toward America to me.
Look, this is not Macbeth, and it's not trying to be. It's pulp science fiction on an epic scale, and it does that very well.
It's more than just explosions and lasers shooting everywhere. The imagery is exceptional and I think you would do yourself a service to just enjoy it for what it is.
I went to see Jason of the Argonauts on my 7th bday. If you think this is crap you need perspective.
The 60's Jason and the Argonauts was amazing. The 90's one sucked. I'm sorry, I do sometimes come off as critical of America, but I think that it's great to live in a country where you can actually do it. Look, I understand the point people make when they talk about how much of a spectacle Avatar is. But, as of yet, there is no honest positive criticism of the development and characters. Everything really does focus on "pretty colors," and I just don't think that cuts it for a good film.
Yeah I was talkin about the 70s JatA. Movies have come a long way. It doesn't substitute for solid writing, acting etc, but it sure helps.
Have you seen Avatar yet? I caught wind of the buzz, not being a major cinephile, and drove over 100 miles to get to an IMAX. It was so worth it. This is not just pretty colors. There is a major conveyance of emotion. I'm a 39 year old straight male and I wept through half the movie.
A few cheesy lines, but otherwise it transports you and holds you.
I actually saw it this past Sunday. A friend came by with a lot of hype about it. So we went, and he paid for it. IMAX and all. The problem with me, I think, is that I value the IMAX experience in it of itself, and the cinematic experience in it of itself. As an IMAX experience, I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone who can get IMAX tickets. But as an actual film, I can't help but think, "Without the pretty colors, this would put me to sleep."
I think the actor who played as (forget his name) the marine who lost the loss of his legs really conveyed his since of loss for not being able to walk and the freedom he felt in his avatar being able to move again.
Yes, in 3D I'm sure it was fantastic. Visually, the movie is rivaled by none. But as for the emotion, I don't think a marine would have acted that way when he got his legs. Let alone be able to use them that fast. He seemed so childish for someone who had been through a lot, supposedly. It was like they tried to add comedic relief. Especially with the tail accidents. I would have much rather enjoyed watching him develop as an avatar controller.
i saw it at imax it was no where near the hype! im the biggest james cameron in the world my friend and i nearly cried! the one director that wouldnt give in to the industry pressure totally folded! his beautifull flow that he creates is just not here! dont go out like this james
I agree. This is nothing more than the stereotypical American industry trying to exploit natives from another area, and then having some "underdog" turn on them to become the American Savior. It's sad to watch movies like this get so much hype.
You mean Trivium, the band that became extremely popular in the UK and Japan? THAT stereotypical "American" band? The band that actually STOPPED playing metalcore when they found out they were being categorized?
Or do you mean that because the people in movie did NOT have American accents? I'm pretty damn sure that was an American accent with American military stereotypes and American big business stereotypes. But, okay. If you want to call them British, or Australian, or Canadian, go ahead.
Why the hell does everyone bum this movie so much?! It's overated, predictable, as many people have pointed out, the acting was pretty poor, the plot was pretty shocking, and yes the effects were good, but good effects DO NOT make a good film. People who say thst this is the best film ever made need to take their heads out of James Cameron's ass and actually think about what they're saying!

James Cameron has done a great movie and even if there is a message behind it, isn't it true that it was precisely the white Europeans (British, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and so forth...) who destroyed the new world and its aborigines?
Why are white people so concerned about having their historical trash being exposed in a subtle message, if this the case as some say?
Great movie, James!

Typical Hollywood leftist propaganda.
They pretty much demonize the military and businesses, and draw parallels between the story and the war in Iraq, and the supposed "exploitation" for their oil.
Why don't they portray the Na'vi leader as a corrupt, brutal dictator, who exploits his own people for oil contracts, or whatever resource they are referring to in the movie?

@TrySuckingLess although I admit that James Cameron could be (more likely than not) drawing parallel with the situation in Iraq, it is not the only theme presented in the movie. The movie is, among many other themes, about foreign invasion of natives, condecending, selfish attitude of people in power throughout history
It sends a simple moral message, IF we do make other people suffer for self-interest, we are assholes.

(con.) If you do not agree that that is what Americans are doing in Iraq. So be it, why are YOU over-reacting then? The movie OF course is NOT talking about Iraq right?

You obviously have blatant leftist sympathies to those despots in Hollywood and the liberal media.
They always have to push some anti-war/environmental message. Why can't, for once, Hollywood actually support America and its war on terror.

Gosh, everyone is discriminated, and whites are certainly not the most discriminated! The reason why Hollywood won't support the war terror/terrorism is because it's a war that is stupid and no one can win it, mostly because you can't kill an idea, unless you kill everyone that has ever heard of the idea of terror/terrorism. And please keep bullcrap comments pertaining to race off of youtube.

Actually those disabilities are somewhat rare in underdeveloped societies for the simple fact those who are born that way die before their first 3yrs. 2nd world is different because they have enough wealth to maintain those people with disabilities but not truly help them, but in Avatar the Na'vi are more akin to Paleolithic Africans combined with pre-colonialism Americas where life and culture kinda scratched out disabled people early in childhood maybe even infancy.

What was so outstanding about the story? It's the most common storyline you see in N. American films.
"Guy falls in love, something menaces the girl, guy saves girl, lived happily ever after". What's so new about this?
The dialogue isn't that great either. The best thing about the film is "visual effects", "3D", "CGI animations" and the whole "ambient" and "world" we're shown.

The dialogue is set between a native and a marine who's entire life has been to serve the country, the connection between the characters, period, makes Avatar amazing. The expressions on the na'vi's faces, the performances were also amazing. Saw it twice!

What's worse is that the "saviour" is always an American idiot, never some intellectual. It's a horribly predictable movie with ridiculous stereotypes.

I love how all the people who bitch about America always make themselves look like such hateful, shallow, spiteful wretches.
It's really becoming quite pathetic and trite.
If you're mister original, why don't you come up with a real target for you angst, other than an extremely diverse nation of people who don't stand up to stereotyping, unless you're a pseudo intellectual given to following the crowd more than being concerned with intellectual honesty.

Maybe that makes you the pseudo intellectual type, that likes to interpret things that he can attack, whether that interpretation is legitimate or not.

trivium666fan 2 years ago
Well sorry if I misinterpreted your remarks. Some of them sure seemed negative toward America to me.
Look, this is not Macbeth, and it's not trying to be. It's pulp science fiction on an epic scale, and it does that very well.
It's more than just explosions and lasers shooting everywhere. The imagery is exceptional and I think you would do yourself a service to just enjoy it for what it is.
I went to see Jason of the Argonauts on my 7th bday. If you think this is crap you need perspective.
revelinabandon 2 years ago
The 60's Jason and the Argonauts was amazing. The 90's one sucked. I'm sorry, I do sometimes come off as critical of America, but I think that it's great to live in a country where you can actually do it. Look, I understand the point people make when they talk about how much of a spectacle Avatar is. But, as of yet, there is no honest positive criticism of the development and characters. Everything really does focus on "pretty colors," and I just don't think that cuts it for a good film.
trivium666fan 2 years ago
Yeah I was talkin about the 70s JatA. Movies have come a long way. It doesn't substitute for solid writing, acting etc, but it sure helps.
Have you seen Avatar yet? I caught wind of the buzz, not being a major cinephile, and drove over 100 miles to get to an IMAX. It was so worth it. This is not just pretty colors. There is a major conveyance of emotion. I'm a 39 year old straight male and I wept through half the movie.
A few cheesy lines, but otherwise it transports you and holds you.
revelinabandon 2 years ago
I actually saw it this past Sunday. A friend came by with a lot of hype about it. So we went, and he paid for it. IMAX and all. The problem with me, I think, is that I value the IMAX experience in it of itself, and the cinematic experience in it of itself. As an IMAX experience, I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone who can get IMAX tickets. But as an actual film, I can't help but think, "Without the pretty colors, this would put me to sleep."

Yes, in 3D I'm sure it was fantastic. Visually, the movie is rivaled by none. But as for the emotion, I don't think a marine would have acted that way when he got his legs. Let alone be able to use them that fast. He seemed so childish for someone who had been through a lot, supposedly. It was like they tried to add comedic relief. Especially with the tail accidents. I would have much rather enjoyed watching him develop as an avatar controller.
