Avatar (film)/Headscratchers/RDA: Difference between revisions

* $20m/kilo? I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Let's face it, that's what's going to happen. Tell you what, we'll flatten ''this'' half for our Unobtanium, and you can have ''that'' half for your miracle cures, especially since without our half, you won't be able to get here for your half. I really doubt any Earth government is really going to care about some blue catgirls billions of miles away if that's what it takes to keep the world running. Humans will return, and this time, they won't bother landing until everything is dead.

** [[Idiot Ball|Congratulations, you just destroyed the unobtainium]]. Anyway, as mentioned above, the RDA are limited in what weapons they HAVE and can use.

*** Yeah, they spent billions of dollars on the Avatar program, and it failed utterly. With that in mind, they would certainly come back and obliterate the Na'vi from orbit. And, seeing as how they would then be to soul custodians of a multi-multi-multi-multi trillion dollar planet that is located 7 years away from any witnesses and that they would control the soul means of traveling to that planet, they'd more than likely get away Scott-free.

**** Again, hampered by the fact that they physically can't. Why do you think they were trying to maintain good relation wit ht the Na'vi? Becasue they weren't able to use any stronger weapons.

'''Mark Twain:''' History teaches us that whenever a weak and ignorant people possess a thing which a strong and enlightened people want, it must be yielded up peaceably. }}

** Good luck teaching the Na'vi how to read English when they don't have a written language of their own.

**** I have faith in Cameron that he'll deliver a good movie without stretching the "''They're back, but BETTER!''" theme too far. He did mention something about undersea exploration anyways.

*** I doubt the Na'vi would even listen to the humans since the conflict is already going. And besides that, they always have [[Gaia's Vengeance]] on their side, so the Na'vi will win in almost all situations. I don't think the ISV has enough cargo/passenger space to hold enough people and equipment for a proper strike force that would overcome the superfauna bum-rush.

** One of the serious issues that the RDA has to deal with is not only simply defending their perimeter, but the fact that they're out there for a reason: to mine the unobtanium. If they pull everyone back, circle the wagons, and go into full-on siege mode, they're going to be faced with the fact that they're not bringing in any more ore, which means dramatically reduced profit margins and increased costs. They won't be able to make a profit and the entire mining operation falls apart once the investors realize they can't secure their mining convoys. If the Na'vi place Hell's Gate under siege, then it's game over, even if they don't set a single step within the firing range of the RDA's guns.
