Avatar: The High Ground Volume 2

Product Information

Obviously, the screenplay on which it was based was an early draft of the script. The recom team didn’t seem to be a thing yet. Why? Because V3 put the kids in the forest being chased by bot dogs instead of the recom team, and the last part of V3 is visually almost like the last battle in the Way of Water. I’m glad they rework the script, because here a lot of characters, especially Jake, are so out of character. Issue 3 [ ] Jake Sully’s fears have come crashing to Pandora, gun’s blazing. The Sky People are planet-side, and taking Hell’s Gate by storm. Jake and Neytiri’s children are still on base, surrounded and outgunned. He will have to improvise and risk it all to protect his family, his people, and their home. The battle is underway and every Na’vi is in danger. Ok, this is hilarious, Neytiri is behaving like Spider is that rebel bad boy who is coming to take her saint daughter’s virtue LOL. She is too psychotic. The child is not to blame for the sins of the father. Also, isn’t she been a little too much hypocrite? She is married to Jake, a human, maybe not in body, but he still has his human mind. Dieses Review bezieht auf die deutsche Version dieses Buchs mit dem Titel Avatar: Blut von Pandora. Band 1, ISBN: 3741630837

What is a trait that Jake can't shake out about being a human? He was a marine. What is the Marines' motto? No man left behind. So how do you expect me to believe that Jake asked Spider THAT? No! Bullshit! But no! I think it worked better in the movie, Neytiri is no marine. Die Zeichnungen sind gut gemacht und orientieren sich an dem Film. Der Wiedererkennungswert ist durchaus gegeben, so dass die Fans der Filme schnell zurechtfinden werden. Und genau jene sind auch die Zielgruppe dieser Trilogie, denn ich denke nicht, dass sich jemand zurechtfindet, der die Filme nicht kennt. avatar: the high ground, on the other hand, was james cameron’s first pass at an avatar sequel script. it doesn’t appear that cameron altered the trajectory of the sequel for budgetary reasons, but rather due to a combination of just deciding to break the story differently and possibly technological breakthroughs in convincing underwater cgi? regardless, rather than wasting his first script idea, a decision was made to adapt it into a series of three hardcover graphic novels.

Kiri is so stubborn, all that happened at the end was her fault. Just because she couldn’t let Spider go with the McCoskers. She put herself, her family, and the entire clan at risk for that (wasting resources, equipment, and maybe lives). It’s not like Spider was going to be in danger, he would have been with the humans, and probably, eventually, he would have escaped and returned to the forest. Because I believe he loves the forest so much that’s what he would have done. Also, she is so useless, Spider has to rescue her ALL THE TIME!

I was undecided in V1 and V2 if High Ground was canon, but now I can say: It’s not. It’s more like a “What If” scenario.It has beenover adecadesince the humans were forced to leave Pandora—but now they’re returning—with an armada of heavily-armed starships! Issue 2 [ ] Humans have returned to Pandora with an armada of starships but Jake Sully and the Na'vi are ready for them! Knowing this day would come, Jake has trained his Navi warriors with a plan that should make it too costly for the humans to try again ... if the plan works. But, any chain of events is only as strong as the weakest link, and in this case the weak link is human nature. As the plan unravels, Jake and Neytiri must race against time to return to Pandora and save their children before the starships land. Urrgggg! I know Na’vi anatomy can be difficult, but they are copying shots from the movie. I have seen the movie too many times that I recognize all of them! On top of it, it’s very difficult to tell who is who. I have seen fanart comics much better drawn than this. Sorry, I don’t want to disrespect the artists, but they put minimum effort into this. Volume 3 continues to deliver with wonderful visuals that really make me appreciate my recent forays into the world of graphic novels. However, I do think that The High Ground is best enjoyed as an alternate universe, 'What if?' version of Avatar: The Way of Water, rather than a direct tie-in or prequel. If this is canon, then that brings the Sully-kids-being-kidnapped-and-held-hostage count to four, which is pushing it for me personally - and I just accepted that the Na'vi went to space.

But that’s exactly why the graphic novel is the perfect medium to explore ideas like this. It’s perfect, low-stakes, over-the-top AU fun. In addition, the art was gorgeous, though it wasn’t always easy to tell the children apart; they didn’t resemble their film counterparts as closely as their parents did, but that was my only gripe. The landscapes, flora and fauna were all distinctly and recognisably Pandoran, and the dialogue was fine, though not as tight, natural, and imbued with character as James Cameron’s is. And besides that, why did the Na'vi become so very human-like. Why, after 14 years being Na'vi does Jake act like he's in his first 2 months of being Na'vi. I think I really only started enjoying comics and graphic novels when, like anime, I realised that the inherent ridiculousness is part of their charm - and embraced that aspect, rather than expecting comic tie-ins to be tonal extensions of their parent media. During the development process of creating the fourAvatarsequels, a lot of new ideas and stories were created and discussed.One such EPIC original story idea that didn’t make it into the sequels was James Cameron’s original story—“The High Ground.” Cameron shared what he had written with Dark Horse Comics and it is now beingadapted by award-winning author Sherri L. Smith (The Toymaker’s Apprentice,Orleans), and illustrated by Brazilian artist Guilherme Balbi.I didn’t like Jake being so obsessed with war before the humans returned. That’s not the vibes I got from the movie (ATWOW). I mean, I get he may be concerned, but seriously they made him sound so paranoiac here. I found it fascinating that Neteyam was the youngest to get his ikran, and Lo’ak failed on his first try. During Lo'ak's ikran training session, Lo'ak falls off a cliff, frightening Jake although Neytiri insists the danger is part of the trial. Neytiri is emotionally shaken and weeps in joy that Lo'ak is alive. Later, Jake and Neytiri have a discussion about their children facing and the dangers of the trial. Though they sympathize with each other's viewpoints, Neytiri mentions Jake has been breaking the Three Laws of Eywa by teaching their hunters to use guns made of metal. Jake insists even though he is not human, he still feels he is a marine and that he is still like the Sky People.
