Do we think it's going to be Lo'ak opening his eyes at the end of A3 after visiting Neteyam?

Image of Kiri from Avatar: the Way of Water. This is from the end of the film where she connects to the underwater plant and causes it to crash a sub that is chasing her, Ao'nung, and Rotxo. It's a close up of her face with her tanhi glowing with her powers and her face set in a determined expression.

Image of Kiri from Avatar: the Way of Water. This is from the end of the film where she gathers all the glowing yellow fish to her to help her find Neytiri and Tuk. It's a close up of her face and all of her tanhi are glowing brightly and you can see the glow of the fish in her eyes.

Image of Jake from Avatar: the Way of Water. This is when Tonowari arrives to tell Jake about the RDA's attacks on other villages and Jake looks extremely tired and sad. You can see the guilt in his eyes.

Image of Jake from Avatar: the Way of Water. This is during the battle on the tulkun ship and Jake is trying to leave with his family, but Quaritch has threatened him by saying he's going to kill Jake's entire family if Jake lets him live. This is moments from Jake saying "then let's get it done" and he has a (super sexy) locked in expression on his face.

Image of Tuk from Avatar: the Way of Water. This is from the beginning of the movie, when the war party returns and Jake tells her to go with Kiri. She's got an adorable little pouty face.

Image of Tuk from Avatar: the Way of Water. This is after the Sullys arrive at the Metkayina village. Tsireya is helping Tuk feed an ilu and after the ilu eats the fish Tuk gives it, she's grinning broadly.

Image of Neytiri from James Cameron's Avatar.

I know I've theorized in the past that Eytukan and Tsu'tey's cameo in A3 could be a recreation of the scene in the comics with Jake. But with Neytiri's arc dealing with her anger, what if Eytukan's cameo is talking to her?

Screenshot of a Tweet by the official Hollywood Reporter twitter account. It reads "A sizzle of footage from #AvatarFireAndAsh is shown at #CinemaCon. The Sully family still lives with the water tribe. They fly on banshees over their home. Large ships come into the port and fly in the sky. A new scene shows Neytiri flying through a canyon. She is attacked by gray-skinned Na'vi creatures with red face paint who wield fire and she calls for Jake from the back of a banshee. A Na'vi is hit with a flaming arrow, falls from the sky, and dies. 'We can not live like this, baby,' says Jake Sully in a new scene, 'We can not live with this hate.' 'We can not face this enemy who comes from the stars,' says the water chief. Spider is shown passing out with his helmet failing. He falls down a cliff. 'Your goddess has no dominion here,' an Ash person says to Kiri. Cut to title."

Screen shot of a scene from the original Avatar: Way of Water script. It reads: "Tonowari stands alone, eyes on the open sea. Above, a sky of infinite stars - home of the invaders. Jake walks up to join him, but he doesn't turn to look. Tonowari: Once I was afraid the war would come becaus eyou are here. Now I see - you are here because the war is coming. Tonowari turns to Jake, his eyes boring into him. Tonowari: We cannot defeat this enemy that comes from the stars. (pause) Not unless we join with other clans. Many clans. Sea people with forest Na'vi. Then we can drive them out. (grips his arm) Lead us. Ride great Toruk, as you did before." The line "We cannot defeat this enemy that comes from the stars" is highlighted.

Oh my god, I just realized the line from the teaser that's mentioned to be said by Tonowari, "We can not face this enemy that comes from the stars" is from the scene between him and Jake in the OG A2 script. Holy shit.

Screenshot of an interview with Zoe Saldaña. It reads "As to what we can expect from the upcoming film, Saldaña said: 'The way that we left the Sully family, they're mourning heavily the loss of their child. So I do believe that that will carry out a great deal in the third installment of Avatar. Jake and Neytiri are on this journey of acceptance, of accepting who they are and what they must be for each other and how they're going to push forward to keep their family safe. And I love the fact that in the core of this entire saga is a beautiful love story, and I love that Jim really wrote that for them. But it's not going to be easy. They're not always going to meet eye to eye, and I just hope that they keep each other safe. That's my hope for them."

As I was trying to fall asleep last night, I remembered the interview Zoe gave about the Sullys in A3 and looking back on her words now...I think the teaser gives a LOT of context to them?

I am feeling more and more sure that we are setting up for Kiri and Varang to go head to head on their interpretations of Eywa. Specifically with Kiri's developing powers.

#avatar #avatar2009 #avatarfireandash #afaa #a3theories

The teaser trailer calling attention to Neytiri's growing rage only makes me more confident that we are going to see her and Varang paralleled the way we see the same happen with Jake and Quaritch.

Image of Sylwanin from James Cameron's Avatar. This is a shot from one of the pictures Grace shows Jake of Sylwanin before her death.

Image of Tom Sully from James Cameron's Avatar. This is from the beginning of the movie, when Jake goes to see Tommy's body before it's cremated.

I desperately need Neytiri and Jake to talk about Sylwanin and Tommy in A3. With their children losing a brother, there is no better time to discuss, on screen, the death of their own siblings.

Leaked image from Avatar: Fire and Ash. It is in an RDA control room with three Avatar figures. One appears to be Quaritch dressed in Mangkwan style clothing, the one behind him appears to be Lyle without a shirt, and the third is dressed in an orange prisoner jumpsuit with his hands together in front of him. He is very tall and skinny with a long single braid hairstyle. Looks very similar to Norm.

Image of Norm from Avatar: the Way of Water. This is taken from the scene where the kids walk through the Avatar tent to get to the lab. Norm is brushing his teeth with a towel over his shoulders. He is tall, skinny, and has a single braid hairstyle very similar to the figure in the leaked image.

I know the figure in the jumpsuit could be a character we've never met before, but I am 95% sure it's Norm based on height and hairstyle alone. And that makes me wonder what the RDA has planned for him.

Shout out to spider-socorro-stan on Tumblr for posting these shots of the Empire Magazine article! The mention that Varang is fascinated by human technology is so interesting.

I've had a theory that the Mangkwan are interested in Kiri because of her connection to Eywa, but now that we know they lived in the burned out remains of their Hometree...do they want her to bring it back to life?

#avatar #avatar2009 #avatarfireandash #afaa #a3theories

This new reveal about the Mangkwan living in the remains of their burned Hometree has made me start thinking a lot about this video where James Cameron discusses what the title means and specially calls out “Ash” representing grief.

I know there has been a lot of speculation about a Varang and Neytiri showdown, but with this quote specifically calling out Jake, I wonder if the Varang showdown is actually going to include Jake?
