Deep blue: a guide to all the major characters in Avatar: The Way Of Water
Yes, Jake and Neytiri are back, but who are all the new Na'vi on Pandora?
Film Features Avatar
Because it’s been 13 years since James Cameron took movie-goers on their initial journey to Pandora, it’s likely that many of Avatar’s key characters have faded from memory for a lot of viewers. With Avatar: The Way of Water blending multiple returning characters and new faces in the sequel, it seems like a cheat sheet is in order.
To be clear, there are a LOT of new characters. So to help prepare you for the next edition of Cameron’s fantastical franchise, we’ve pulled together a look at the major characters—new and returning—you need to know before settling in for three-plus hours at the cineplex. Don’t worry, there are minimal plot spoilers, especially if you’ve already seen the trailers or read the reviews. So dive in, and prepare to get acquainted, or reacquainted, with some new and old faces.

I see you… decided to go with a slideshow for this one, AV Club.
“A fucking slideshow? Pass.” – me, just now
What the Hell is Happening Over at The A.V. Club?https://www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/2022/7/7/what-the-hell-is-happening-over-at-the-av-club
10-15 years ago you’d commonly see a review blurb from the Onion—which mean the AV Club—on this or that. Writers and critics were up there with the best. Now the AV Club is just bandwagon bullshit we all waste our time with.
Yeah where’s the article on the Beastie Boys’ eleven favorite Indonesian sodas?
So it’s a bloated, lengthy mess? No thanks.
I don’t see how Neteyam is the oldest and Lo’ak is younger, unless the Na’vi age backwards like Benjamin Button. Unless for some weird reason you used a picture of a young Neteyam which would be needlessly confusing.
I don’t really give a shit about things like plot and characters. I’m going to get high on some edibles and look at this pretty 3 hour spectacle in glorious 3D.
I don’t really feel the need to get to know these characters. It’s like a party where I’ll go have fun but will never see most of those people again.
Orgies?
Where’s Glup Shitto?
Seriously? Glup Shitto is still seeking the Amulet of Blorpo on planet Scrungus, so he won’t appear until film 6. Jesus, how about you read the tie-in novels before embarrassing yourself with such obvious questions?
Let me know when Cameron gets around to making the inevitable Avatar/Human Centipede crossover.
Will batty be back?
I want to know how many people actually clicked “next.”
You can just narrow your window to make it a regular article.
Oh my god.
LOL but nobody remembers the characters name dupr I’m so clever.
That’s not Spider, it’s Ras Trent.
Sorry folks – I know you want the Gene Shalitt take on the Avatar: Wayward Waters, but it seems old Gene’s press pass was revoked. This week, the press came under attack as the press was denied access to one of the largest modern institutions.
Sadly, this week, I was refused entry into a screening of Avatar: The Watery Ways using my outdated (yet still good!) press credentials.Hollywood, it seems, no longer consider internet commenting a form of journalism and told me so as the ushers at the Regal Stadium Eight no longer recognize me or my Regal Rewards loyalty card. The new management at the Regal Stadium Eight reeks of new Hollywood stink. Sleek, sexy blue people that can’t harness electricity, but fly and cover their genitals! The missus was humiliated by some twenty-eight year old good-time-guy telling her that corporate says “no more freebies, Mrs. Gene.” This, ladies and gentlemen, is what they mean when they say the press is under attack.
Robert Shaw once spent an hour telling me what Jacqui Bissett’s bathing suit smelled like. I know ocean movies.
Always bet against James Cameron
