Yeah. Na’vi in space. It sounds cool, but there’s a reason this idea was cut and reformed into the sequel we got with Avatar: The Way of Water. It really stretches your suspension of disbelief in a way that doesn’t mesh with James Cameron’s total immersion philosophy, something that has always been at the core of this franchise, even before it was a franchise. Finally, I just going to tell you how much I love stupid Jake. He gave the helmet to Neytiri, of course, but his plan was to hold his breath IN SPACE! That’s just plain stupid Jake, badass Jake, lovely Jake, and I just love Jake. Brothers (2017) · Tsu'tey's Path (2019) · The Next Shadow (2021) · Adapt or Die (2022) · The High Ground (2022) · So'lek's Journey (2024)

I don’t ruled out it might happen in future movies, but here, it seems so out of context. And anyways, why is Jake asking permission to the Olo'eyktan Council if all the warriors are from the Omaticaya clan? His clan? Volume 3 continues to deliver with wonderful visuals that really make me appreciate my recent forays into the world of graphic novels. However, I do think that The High Ground is best enjoyed as an alternate universe, 'What if?' version of Avatar: The Way of Water, rather than a direct tie-in or prequel. If this is canon, then that brings the Sully-kids-being-kidnapped-and-held-hostage count to four, which is pushing it for me personally - and I just accepted that the Na'vi went to space. Die Zeichnungen sind gut gemacht und orientieren sich an dem Film. Der Wiedererkennungswert ist durchaus gegeben, so dass die Fans der Filme schnell zurechtfinden werden. Und genau jene sind auch die Zielgruppe dieser Trilogie, denn ich denke nicht, dass sich jemand zurechtfindet, der die Filme nicht kennt. I’m also very confused with Kiri and her ikran. She was a child! Like Tuk’s age. Did Kiri have her ikran before Neteyam? I thought Neteyam has been the youngest to complete the Iknimaya rite in the whole story of their clan so far. It’s not like they take children to the rite. When Jake got Bob (his ikran), Tsu’tey also took two trainees probably a lot younger than Jake, but they were not children, probably teens, so why is Kiri so young?

Avatar: The High Ground Volume 2

Kiri is so stubborn, all that happened at the end was her fault. Just because she couldn’t let Spider go with the McCoskers. She put herself, her family, and the entire clan at risk for that (wasting resources, equipment, and maybe lives). It’s not like Spider was going to be in danger, he would have been with the humans, and probably, eventually, he would have escaped and returned to the forest. Because I believe he loves the forest so much that’s what he would have done. Also, she is so useless, Spider has to rescue her ALL THE TIME! Avatar: The High Ground, Volume 1 was all set-up, while Volume 2 is payoff, payoff, payoff. Nothing but net, baby. (You can see my review for Volume 1 here, if you're interested. Might add some much-needed context for the 'Na'vi in space' premise.) With some publishing metadata such as an ISBN remaining in place, the status of the book remained unknown. Dark Horse's next release in the franchise was Avatar: The Next Shadow on January 6th, 2021, a year after the supposed release date of The High Ground. It has beenover adecadesince the humans were forced to leave Pandora—but now they’re returning—with an armada of heavily-armed starships! This first book gives us an update on how Sully has grown his family and the politics of the Na'Vi as they reestablish themselves. Many do not wish to heed Sully's warnings but Sully knows it is only a matter of time. Neytiri will always support him but she now has daughters and sons to protect as well. Especially concerning is one human child the family has adopted but who worries Neytiri greatly for his human tendencies.

Now, about the story… I know Kiri has a connection to Spider, but she is pushing the “orphans” theme too much. I’m starting to think it would have been better if Jake and Neytiri didn’t tell her the truth in the first place. She is so stubborn to call Spider family when clearly her parents do not consider him their kid. I mean, it’s ok to love someone so much, but she is forcing her entire family to comply. I mean, I can’t believe Lo’ak here was the only kid with common sense. Kiri put herself and her siblings in danger. Lo’ak here is younger, so, yeah, no doubt why he’s the rebel one in The Way of Water, he’s just doing like Neteyam and Kiri. The three laws of Eywa… I never hear about it. I think it’s an interesting concept, but also maybe a discarded one. I think If it was important, sure James Cameron would have mentioned it if not in the first movie, in the second.avatar: the high ground, on the other hand, was james cameron’s first pass at an avatar sequel script. it doesn’t appear that cameron altered the trajectory of the sequel for budgetary reasons, but rather due to a combination of just deciding to break the story differently and possibly technological breakthroughs in convincing underwater cgi? regardless, rather than wasting his first script idea, a decision was made to adapt it into a series of three hardcover graphic novels. In a council meeting, Jake insists the Na'vi fight and tries to convince Yeyatley to agree, but Yeyatley instead insists the Na'vi offer peace instead. Akwey supports Jake's choice, though before the group can continue debating, it is noticed that Jake's children are gone, with the exception of Neteyam. If it was any longer I would have DNF'd it. Boring and confusing. Terrible pacing. The narrative jumps around a lot. The characters' motivations are a mystery. There are a lot of characters whose role in their society, and their purpose in the story, are unexplained. During the development process of creating the fourAvatarsequels, a lot of new ideas and stories were created and discussed.One such EPIC original story idea that didn’t make it into the sequels was James Cameron’s original story—“The High Ground.” Cameron shared what he had written with Dark Horse Comics and it is now beingadapted by award-winning author Sherri L. Smith (The Toymaker’s Apprentice,Orleans), and illustrated by Brazilian artist Guilherme Balbi.
