Here's why Avatar: TheWayOfWater introduced audiences to so many new characters.
The original Avatar mainly focused on Jake Sully and his attempts to immerse himself in the culture of the Na'vi, while Avatar: The Way of Water brings more figures to the storytelling forefront.
"Well, on the first movie, we really didn't get to explore characters outside of Jake and Neytiri [Zoe Saldaña]. It was a love story. It was their story," Landau recalled to ComicBook.com."And so many of the scenes were focused on them. We really viewed Avatar: The Way of Water and the future sequels as a way of introducing people to more characters, each that has their own flaws. These are not perfect characters. None of them are superheroes.
He continued,"I think what makes it interesting is we have these teenagers, we have these kids, and they come into this story. When we meet them, they're insecure. They don't know what life means, they're living in the shadow of their father. One doesn't even know who her father was. They're in a mixed-race relationship, family. That, again, makes it relatable.
These new characters aren't the only ways in which the film aims to replicate the real world, as the nefarious RDA organization has parallels to real-world corporate greed. "That's a universal theme today, as we deal with our society and people migrating and people becoming refugees and dealing with all that. And then we have the RDA side of it, the imperialists coming back to take over a planet for greed, for no reason and causing epic -- we show it right at the beginning -- epic destruction on this beautiful planet that we think is beautiful," the producer added.
