Would a single random US marine really be able to organize and lead a primitive people in armed resistance against a technologically superior foe?

Yes, see American revolution for the answers
Wasn't it France and Spain that did all the heavy lifting there?
Mostly the heavy funding
>It was the Native Troops who fought the English.
>a israeli man actually funded the whole thing and never got paid back
>The funds used to pay the troops never got distributed
I mean, Americans did something, I'm sure..
>Wasn't it France and Spain that did all the heavy lifting there?
France
yeah it was the French navy that won the war for the revolutionaries
Pshht Anon. It was totally the militia morons try to larp as.
>Wasn't it France who did all the heavy lifting?
Same as the movie
Jake Sooooooolllies actual contributions have been basically 0
Uh no. A French General trained American troops
I unironically love Avatar
Same. Was the first time I felt anything watching a movie in a long time. I might even go see it again which I never do.
i only love catgirls like kiri
I love Kiri
why do people keep making edits of this scene, it was basically confirming that everything joi said and did was artificial
That's the point. It's a robot falling for a robot, despite knowing she's a robot. *—replace robot for simping incel, and robot for camprostitute where required—
For me it's the "I expected nothing and was still let down" but with existential dread: Dude starts out being a nobody and sorta fine with it. He has his little apartment and his little holo-wife. Then he learns he might infact be the messiah, gets his hopes up and starts looking for answers. Maybe his life has meaning and importance? A further couple hours later that is all shot down, he experiences the loss of his "wife" and he's back to being nobody but now with the aftertaste of how it would've felt if he hadn't. If that wasn't bad enough now he learns his would-be soulmate just acted according to her programming when she named him, cared for him and said she loved him before she died. It meant nothing more than a dishwasher doing the dishes. It's the one-two gut punch. He didn't even get to keep the self-illusion that Joi meant what she said
That's my take anyway, a sharper mind with a different perspective might make something else of it
It hurt when I watched it. Hurt when I recently rewatched it. I get why people make edits even if it misses the point of the scene.
People identify with the sense of longing for something they can't have.
I thought the whole point of the meme was intentionally to get across that feeling of misery knowing you're being offered a fake, manipulative image because you're lonely, making you feel more lonely.
Anons, I've thought about this scene for a bit and come to a conclusion. If you saw two people who were so madly in love with one another's appearances, that they just started fricking and pumping out babies immediately without regard for what the other's personality, traits, or beliefs are, is that love? Is that a real relationship? Is an newly minted E4 going out and getting a stripper pregnant "real love?"
Hell, are animals sentient? Isn't sentience required for love? Does your dog love you or is it millennia of breeding and training? Isn't our desire to go out and bang b***hes and pop babies also the result of a hundred million years of eukaryotic conditioning and adaptation? In the end, I don't think the state of something matters if you're trying to determine "real love." It all started with cells and single celled lifeforms carrying out the functions coded into their DNA. Why the hell should I deny an AI the right to call their human coded functions love? We all started out with biological imperatives coded into our beings millions of years ago. All I see in front of me is another being, going down the same road we're all going down, carrying out the functions coded into their being passed down by their intellectual, technological ancestors.
What matters is wholly writing off any one thing's ability to feel and to think because of its nature. It's a dick move and the root of all evil. Because we can all justify doing whatever we want to anything that isn't "real." I think at the end of the day, my soul would feel more at peace if my mind were foolish, rather than evil. In this cold, cold universe where we may possibly be the only thinking life at all, the benefit of doubt is a small price to pay.
Same. Imagine growing up with a girl who always has her ass out in a loincloth.
literally black catgirls.
Damn no wonder they're so hot
Yes, the marine will finally be able to lead his kin.
No. Movies automatically make the lead have maxed out charisma while anons like me and you will never be able to reach those heights even if we tried
Single random marine would be way too busy raping Na'vi to lead a resistance.
No, real primitive people would be too suspicious of an outsider. Especially if he came from the enemy faction. Natives, be they alien or human, were just as violent, xenophobic and genocidal as the wyt man. In a profession of homosexuals, Rousseau reigned king supreme.
Believe it or not, Hollywood doesn't real.
Literally none of Dances-With-Wolves-In-Space is remotely accurate.
Yes. A single marine is worth a thousand other soldiers in all aspects of the martial mindset.
No, because the US relies on US air supremacy.
You can lead all the primitives with spears you want, but it becomes irrelevant if they can bombard you from orbit. Which they didn't because Avatar is a stupid, self-masturbatory piece of trash cinema.
With enough plot armor and predictable tropes, sure
1 (ONE) US marine would be able to take on entire russian armed forces and win.
How?
When he will be walking in high heels.
all the russians will bend over as they have been trained to take it in the ass from gays.
>Would a single random US marine really be able to organize and lead a primitive people in armed resistance against a technologically superior foe?
This actually happened in the historical documentary Dancing With Wolves
>doesn't know about Papa New Guinea
Read what a single engineer did against the government and the mining company who hired him.
>be American
>get hired to fix mining equipment that is breaking down A LOT
>???
>get out there
>turns out that the government and mining companies have been genociding the natives wholesale
>"breakdowns" are actually sabotage
>engineer witnesses a whole village get wiped out and the evidence bulldozed into a mass grave
>he flees in the night and joins the natives
>builds them killdozers and repairs scavenged WW2 machine guns from aircraft
>so successful that the government sends mercs to assassinate him
>natives BTFO the mercs
>Papa New Guinea
Read what a single engineer did against the government and the mining company who hired him.
>[Desire to know more Intensifies]
Was this the Panguna mine?
>Read what a single engineer did against the government and the mining company who hired him
I kind of wonder if Camera based Avatar off this one story?
It's pretty damn /k/ regardless.
I can't for the life of me find anything about him any more. I remember reading all about him after he died a few years back (natural causes/old age in Australia I think).
Only if the attacking force does stupid shit like fly blind into a zone where their guided munitions don't work and dosen't dig in and use their strategic mobility to utterly buttfrick the blueBlack folk.
Maybe back in the 1800's. Today he would be too busy yiffing cat bussy.
no, the technologically superior opponent would do what white settlers did to the indians and level entire forests for sightlines to prevent ambushes, hunt their food sources to near extinction and force them into pockets of containment with the threat of genocide
A modern solution too would just be to introduce so much food and resources valuable to them through industrial output that we get them addicted to our economy and then we culturally shape them into a worker class to help mind Unobtanium or whatever the frick.
Seeing how they're basically space Mexicans all you have to do is let a group of Spanish men loose in the villages. It will civilize them but not enough to be lazy ass motherfrickers willing to work.
hmm. fricked up the last bit but you get what I mean.
What kind of White Saviour movie would it be if he couldnt?
Yes. It's even arguable that his only real use was telling them how human technology worked and how to exploit its weaknesses.
As for strategy, tactics, etc. Any people that participate in war (which the N'Avi did even before contact) learns the fundamentals of war fairly quickly. Even by our own standards was has not changed all that much other than the tools used to wage it.
There are simply some brute facts that hold true no matter what. Number, moral, troop formations, positioning, range, lethality, weather, the element of surprise, and so forth. Are quickly understood even by the most primitive of people.
depends on the marine but in general any WHITE marine would be able to yes, the hispanics would only be able to after forcing all of them to learn broken spanish and 3 weeks of non-stop lifting sessions with whatever heavy junk they find lying around.
As long as the homie keeps churning out good gun movies I legit don't care if he loves or hates guns
It's been almost 30 years since True Lies came out and that's the last movie he made that didn't suck huge wieners.
He's not going to
Then frick off back to the non gun boards cuck
Are you moronic
I like gun movies.
Gun
GUN
have a nice day homosexual
I mean, he is. He knows his audience.
The first Terminator was the only one that really had any gun shit in it, the 2nd one had a few parts but not many. Everything else was gay drama bullshit that no one wants. Like WOW TITANIC WAS SO HECKIN COOL REMEMBER WHEN THEY DIED?????
>I'll give my money to a man actively supporting taking my guns away as long as he gives me a cookie.
I'm not a guncel so I don't share your fricked world view
Then frick off back where you came from Consooomy. Everyone who opposes the second amendment is the enemy.
Their resistance wasn't really that effective they had twenty to one numbers the element of surprise and they still lost. The planet just brain jacked a million animals at the end and instantly won.
I hate these threads because the villains in the movie are a private corporation with ex military mall cops that according to the background lore aren't even allowed to have military grade weapons. You'd know this if you watched the 1st movie where as part of the plot they had to jury rig a ghetto bomber with some pallets.
US success in the future war vs China will demand it
Not a modern one. A marine from the 60s-mid 90s, yeah
Not when they're technologically superior enough to just dust off and nuke you from orbit.
Thank god they were fighting Mall cops with repurposed riot gear who had to ratchet strap a thousand bricks of C4 to a pallet to conduct a bombing run with a cargo plane.
It helps that they're already a warrior culture. He just gave them the intel, comms, and a couple of guns.
I would definitely betray my country and the white race for some of that sweet alien puss
Frick off Cameron
