Line 114:
'''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.
*** Telling them orally could be effective enough...or even showing a few good movies on such subjects (dubbed in Na'vi of course). If humans follow historical precedent (provided by the Boxer Rebellion and the Zulu Wars), they WILL be back, they WILL come in force, and they WON'T ask nicely this time. This is a [[James Cameron]] film we're talking about, after all, so [[Sequel Escalation|that could be exactly what he has in mind]] (Illustrated rather humorously [https://web.archive.org/web/20100209075906/http://akreon.deviantart.com/art/Avatar-anti-Na-vi-stamp-152767345 here]). How else could they top the first one?
**** 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.
Line 271:
** 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.
