Line 92:
*** It's very unlikely that the number of the Na'vi in question qualify as protecting the balance - there's likely to be at least a couple of million of Na'vi across the planet, judging at least from the Colonel's estimate of how quickly the horde could be growing, and only a couple of thousands actually participated in the battle. It's far more likely that Eywa only reacted to the danger on the Tree of Souls, which is rare, if not unique, and difficult to replace.
* Lets not forget that we're talking about an entity comprised of the collective bio-connections of an entire moon worth of plants. Applying a human mind set and logic to such a being really doesn't make sense, who knows how Eywa's thoughts work or what kind of priorites she sets.
* Or, and this is getting into real[[Epileptic Tree|Epileptic]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Tree]] territory, the planet-wide mind thing isn't one entity, but several, who had to discuss it [[The Lord of the Rings|Entmoot-style]].
** At the very least, as a planet-wide mind that comprises every living thing and every living thing's ancestors, Eywa probably needed some Ent-like time to completely think out the situation and decide what to do about it. And she also probably wanted to wait and see exactly what happened first, if the humans were really as big a threat as Jake said, or if things might work themselves out some other way.
* These justifications are fairly weak, the obvious reason is that it's more dramatic in the animals come to the rescue rather than fight from the start.
