    Avatar 3's First Full Clip Shows the Sullys Fleeing Terrifying Villain
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    The first full clip from Avatar 3, aka Avatar: Fire and Ash, has been
    released, featuring a heart-pounding chase that introduces the
    franchise's first major Na'vi villains. The sequel will release in
    theaters on December 19, three years after The Way of Water became a
    global box office juggernaut.

    Varang and the Ash People hunt the Sullys in Avatar: Fire and Ash
    first full clip
    The Avatar 3 first full clip offers a direct look at the Ash People in
    action. In the clip, Varang and her tribe track Jake and Neytiri's
    children through Pandora's jungles. Once the hunters spot them, they
    unleash an eerie shriek and charge forward at high speed. Lo'ak
    (Britain Dalton) urges his siblings to move, warning, "They're coming,"
    before leading Kiri, Tuktirey (Trinity Jo-Li Bliss), and Spider into
    the waters below. As they swim for safety, Lo'ak reassures his siblings
    and encourages them to repeat the Sully motto: "Sullys never quit."

    Video Clip (3mins 51secs)

    The clip makes it clear that Fire and Ash places the Sully family in
    direct fight with a Na'vi tribe for the first time. While previous
    films centered largely on human antagonists - aside from Quaritch's
    Na'vi form in The Way of Water - Varang and the Ash People is a major
    change in the franchise's dynamic.

    The death of Neteyam (Jamie Flatters) in The Way of Water established
    that the younger generation is not insulated from danger, and the new
    video reinforces that Lo'ak, Kiri, Tuk, and Spider face
    real-life-or-death stakes. With two more Avatar films planned, nothing
    guarantees their survival.

    Fire and Ash also elevates the roles of Jake and Neytiri's children.
    Lo'ak takes over narration duties from Jake, a storytelling change that
    supports his growing importance. Spider continues grappling with his
    human identity and his connection to Quaritch. Marketing materials have
    reportedly even shown him breathing Pandoran air without a mask, which
    is impossible for humans. Meanwhile, Kiri's deep spiritual bond with
    Pandora and Eywa is poised to expand further, potentially making her one
    of the main characters of the sequel.

    Audiences will find out what happens when Avatar: Fire and Ash releases
    in theaters this December.

    Well, that's one film I won't be bothering to watch.
    I found the original Avatar to be all I want to see on the topic.

    I still think it's close enough to Alan Dean Foster's _Midworld_ that he
    should have got a credit or hush money.
