The brand new collector’s version of Avatar: The Approach of Water in 4K comes with loads of deleted and prolonged scenes, however one specifically stands out.
Issues get a lot darker in the ‘Dad and mom From Hell & Standoff’ prolonged scene, which sees most important characters Jake Sully and his Na’vi associate Neytiri completely massacring the remaining RDA forces on the sinking whaling ship and Miles Quaritch’s Recom group. The scene was already violent and tense sufficient within the closing film (massive Terminator 2 and Titanic vitality from James Cameron right here), so it is fascinating to see that the filmmaker and his group really toned it down quite a bit with a view to keep away from veering into borderline R-rated territory.
Much more stunning is how Neytiri behaves on this iteration of the scene versus the ultimate minimize. It places a lot extra pressure on the connection between her and Spider, and it takes a much bigger intervention from Jake to really deactivate the state of affairs. Contemplating that Neytiri stays one of many saga’s ‘heroic’ characters and can reportedly have a fair larger position in future installments, it was smart to not go this darkish along with her even when her oldest son had simply died and the RDA are humanity’s worst.
