Max Patel rescue the avatar team from prison. Before they get outside, Jake asks Dr. Patel to stay behind and be his man on the inside. Trudy hijacks her Samson and flies them to safety, but not before being fired upon by Quaritch. He fails in stopping the avatar team from escaping, but shoots Grace in the stomach. The team flies the camp container holding the avatar link units from Site 26 into hiding near the Tree of Souls , where the remaining Omaticaya have fled to safety.
Jake returns to his avatar form at the ruins of Hometree. His banshee finds him amidst the ashes and Jake decides that the only way to regain the trust of the Na'vi and save Grace is to "take it to a whole new level". They fly at high altitude until they find the great leonopteryx, at which point Jake leaps from his ikran onto the back of the leonopteryx and bonds with it, becoming the sixth Toruk Makto. After bonding with the creature, he persuades it to form a temporary partnership with him to save Pandora.
When Neytiri sees him, she knows who Jake has sided with, and is grateful to see him return. Jake reaffirms his love for her and says " I See you ", a Na'vi greeting. The Na'vi attempt to place Grace's spirit within her avatar body permanently, but her wounds are too great and she passes on. Before she passes, she tells Jake that she can see Eywa and that she is with her now.
Having earned back the tribe's trust, Jake asks for Tsu'tey's permission to speak and that it would honor him if he could translate his words to the Na'vi. Jake encourages them to fight back against the Sky People. He rallies the Omaticaya clan, and they ride with him as he flies out to gather all the tribes for a final attack, just as the previous Toruk Makto did. Jake later makes tsaheylu with the Tree of Souls and asks Eywa to look into Grace's memories and see how humans destroyed Earth, and to intervene to keep them from destroying Pandora as well.
Neytiri overhears him and tells him that Eywa does not take sides, she only maintains the balance of life on Pandora. Surveying the Na'vi with satellites, Quaritch learns that other clans have converged with the Omaticaya at the Tree of Souls and decides to destroy them and their holy ground to put an end to their defiance once and for all.
A huge military fleet commandeered by Quaritch approaches the Tree of Souls, using the Valkyrie shuttle as a makeshift bomber and mining explosives as "daisy cutter" munitions to destroy the tree. Thousands of Na'vi warriors led by Jake and Tsu'tey take to the skies and attack the fleet, while Norm Spellman rides with the cavalry on the ground. The Na'vi forces on the ground are easily defeated by human infantry and their powerful AMP suits, and suffer heavy losses, including Norm, whose avatar is shot.
In the skies, a massive air battle ensues between the human air fleet and Na'vi hunters riding banshees. The Na'vi inflict some casualties on the humans with their initial strike, managing to take down several human gunships. However, the humans' superior firepower sees them inflict heavier casualties on the Na'vi, and they look to resume their bombing run.
Quaritch, flying in his Dragon Gunship, notices Jake's toruk and gives chase. Before Quaritch manages to shoot down Jake, however, Trudy dives in with her Samson and strafes the Dragon. An enraged Quaritch turns his attention to her, which allows Jake to escape. Trudy valiantly fights back, but her Samson is no match for Quaritch's gunship, and she is shot down and killed. Tsu'tey boards the Valkyrie in the hope of preventing it from dropping its payload, but after killing or incapacitating several humans inside the Valkyrie's cargo bay, he is gunned down by a human soldier and falls from the shuttle.
Jake calls both Tsu'tey and Trudy but neither answer. He makes contact with Neytiri, who, with her ikran dead, is getting ready to attack the RDA ground forces single-handedly. Jake pleads with her over the communication collar not to, but before she tries; a stampede of hammerhead titanotheres attacks the RDA ground forces, trampling infantry and smashing AMP suits, followed by viperwolves which attack the infantry more accurately.
Neytiri is further surprised when one of Pandora's deadliest creatures, a thanator, allows her to make tsaheylu with it and ride it. The human ground forces break and retreat in panic.
In the skies, swarms of wild ikran descend on the surviving RDA gunships, pulling the craft off balance and ripping door gunners out of their stations until only the Valkyrie and Quaritch's Dragon Gunship remain. The Valkyrie, approaching the Tree of Souls, prepares to drop its payload, but in the ensuing confusion created by the wild ikran attack, Jake leaps onto the Valkyrie, throwing a grenade into one of its engines before it can drop its payload of mining explosives.
The grenade detonates, causing the Valkyrie to collide with a nearby rock, shearing of the left wing and sending the it into a steep dive. The pilots are unable to compensate for the lost of thrust and the ship crashes into the ground and explodes. Quaritch, seeing Jake land on the gunship before he manages to throw his two grenades, turns the ship sharply to starboard, nearly throwing Jake off.
One grenade is lodged in a small air vent and detonates, ripping a hole in the Dragon's armor, resulting in a few hydraulic-based control failures and exposes the interior crew to Pandoran atmosphere. The falling Jake manages to grab onto one of the Dragon's missile racks.
Jake pulls a missile off of the rack and heaves it into the rotor blades of the Dragon's front starboard engine. The resulting explosion destroys the engine and sends the Dragon into an uncontrollable spin.
Jake falls from the ship and lands safely in the jungle, breaking his fall with the huge leaves on the trees. Quaritch also escapes his gunship, manning his personal AMP suit and jumping from the ship's cargo bay, fully intent on making a one-man assault on the Tree of Souls. Stumbling upon the camp containing the avatar link units by chance, Quaritch attempts to destroy Jake's human body, but before he can do so, Neytiri and her thanator attack him, successfully destroying the GAU cannon for Quaritch's AMP suit.
However, Quaritch overpowers and kills the thanator with his AMP suit knife. As he prepares to kill Neytiri, pinned under the thanator's body, Jake arrives to challenge him. The two fight fiercely in close quarters. The Colonel taunts Jake, asking him how it feels to betray his own race, before turning and attacking the avatar link unit with the suit. Jake manages to fend off Quaritch before he can fully break open the camp, but a window is broken, which allows Pandoran air into the link units.
His human body struggling, Jake is easy prey for Quaritch, who is preparing to slit Jake's throat with his own knife when Neytiri kills Quaritch with two shots from her father's bow.
She then tries to wake Jake's avatar, to no avail, while Jake struggles inside the link unit to grab an emergency rebreather. Finally remembering that he is a human, she rushes into the link unit and places an exopack on Jake's now-unconscious human body, saving him again. As Jake wakes up, he says "I See you" to Neytiri and gently strokes her cheek.
Neytiri repeats it back to him; the greeting now takes on new meaning as she is seeing and talking to Jake's human body for the first time. After reconnecting to his avatar, Jake and Neytiri are brought to Tsu'tey, mortally wounded, by a group of surviving Na'vi warriors. Tsu'tey passes leadership of the Omaticaya clan to Jake and requests that he end his suffering. Jake is reluctant, but is assured by Tsu'tey that he will be remembered, as Toruk Makto will be his last shadow, and honors Jake by calling him a brother.
Jake remorsefully euthanizes Tsu'tey and recites a prayer for him. Having put an end to the RDA's occupation of Pandora, Jake makes his last log entry on August 24, , explaining that the humans were sent back to Earth by the Na'vi, except for a few the scientists of the avatar program , and that he has decided to stay in his avatar form permanently so he finally can have a life with Neytiri.
Returning to the Tree of Souls, he undergoes the consciousness transfer from his human body to his avatar body, and awakens to a new life as a Na'vi, marking August 24th as his "birthday", the day where he truly becomes a Na'vi, a part of The People. At this point, Jake's avatar opens its eyes after the transfer, proving that it succeeded. Two weeks following the battle at the Tree of Souls, Jake had relocated the Omaticaya clan to an area near Hell's Gate so they could receive aid from the human allies that had been selected to remain on Pandora.
He was still dealing with conflicting feelings regarding his identity, and visits the grave site of his human body one morning, reflecting that he hasn't adjusted to his avatar body yet. After accidentally cutting his palm on a patch of thorns, Neytiri arrives on a direhorse to announce that the clan is looking for Jake, to which he responds that he needs downtime from the responsibility placed on him. Neytiri observes that the confusion and strife he feels is unhealthy for him.
The two then discuss Neytiri's visitation to the Olangi clan with Ikeyni to assist them following their heavy losses in the battle, and Neytiri departs for her journey promising she would return soon. On his way back from the gravesite, Norm Spellman radios Jake alerting him that the grinders for powering Hell's Gate have stopped and that Katherine Hale and her crew are possibly in danger, requesting that Jake handle the issue. Ka'ani and Hale attempt to settle the dispute before Jake arrives, but by the time he has, Ka'ani's warriors have fired arrows into the wheels of the bulldozer.
Jake orders everyone to settle themselves and questions Hale and Ka'ani on the situation; Hale states that it's merely a misunderstanding, while Ka'ani disagrees, stating he fully understands the human operatives and their motives. Hale explains that after the RDA left Pandora, they destroyed most of their mining equipment and that a new unobtanium mine was needed to power Hell's Gate; Hale had received permission from the Omaticaya clan to use an area, but Ka'ani interfered and decided against the decision at the last moment due to the destruction the dozers caused to the wilderness on their way to the site.
Jake eventually settles the dispute by offering that Hale and her men could dismantle the broken RDA machinery for parts until a mining site everyone could agree on was found, but Hale reminds him that it's not a permanent solution, and Ka'ani warns Jake about siding with his human heritage even after he has chosen to become a Na'vi. Unbeknownst to Jake, the parents of Tsu'tey, Artsut and Ateyo , were angered by Jake's ascension to the position of Olo'eyktan rather than their younger son, Arvok.
With Neytiri's absence, they set in motion a plan to make themselves leaders of the Omaticaya by having Arvok challenge Jake to the dangerous First Blood ritual, although Arvok is initially distraught and doubtful over the idea, feeling it would be disrespectful to his older brother to usurp a Toruk Makto and arguing that Tsu'tey must have seen good in Jake for him to allow a dreamwalker to lead the clan.
After announcing to Artsut that Arvok would go through with the plan, she presents him with a poisoned knife intended to kill Jake without Arvok's knowledge. Jake, meanwhile, is visiting the healing area of the Omaticaya's camp with Mo'at , where a fearful Yeyongo is refusing to let human medics treat her child.
Artsut steps in to suggest that Yeyongo needn't accept the help of the "devil's medicine" and offers to heal the child herself, but Jake tells her to back away and that the situation is under control. Mo'at soon convinces Yeyongo to be courageous and allow the humans to apply a burn medicine to her child, Yeyongo looking grateful and relieved as her child stops crying.
As he looks over the other wounded, Jake expresses his guilt to Mo'at, feeling it's his fault for their pain and the destruction of their home. Mo'at reassures Jake by reminding him to trust in Eywa 's will, and an angered Artsut interjects stating that Mo'at disrespects Eywa and her will rather than follow it by letting Jake lead the clan. An exasperated Jake asks Artsut to talk to him in private to settle the conflict as Artsut is upsetting the injured clan mates, but Mo'at remarks that Artsut's feud with her goes back years.
As the argument continues, Arvok and Ateyo arrive to the healing area and Arvok formally challenges Jake to First Blood; whomever won the ritual would be the new clan leader. Jake, however, did not know what the ceremony was, and Mo'at cautiously explains ceremony.
Despite her heavy warnings that the rite is extremely dangerous due to its outcoming being permanently binding, Jake confidently agrees to Arvok's challenge. Shortly after, the clan gathers together to witness the ritual, and Mo'at announces the terms of the fight. Arvok is councilled by his parents, whilst Jake speaks with Ka'ani and Norm Spellman.
Ateyo orders Arvok to continue striking Jake after his victory to humiliate him, in spite of the victor needing only to draw blood to win the fight.
Ka'ani, meanwhile, suggests Jake end the fight as quickly as possible. Once the fight begins, Jake is relaxed and nonchalant, which angers Arvok into a frenzy. Despite his vicious attempts, Jake swiftly got the upper hand over the less experienced Arvok and cut him lightly with his blade to draw blood, winning the fight. Despite Arvok's anger and newfound distaste of Jake, Jake remains calm and good natured, wishing to put the bad feelings behind them and offering Arvok a light punishment.
Arvok perceives this only as Jake being arrogant, and in his rage, throws his knife towards Jake. He effortlessly catches Arvok's knife in his hand, but is cut by the blade and inadvertently poisoned to the shock of all, including Arvok, who was unaware his parents had set him up to kill Jake. After he collapses, Mo'at rushes to Jake's side and declares that he has been poisoned by Arvok. Arvok turns to face his parents, finding them in a solemn embrace and calling for them to explain themselves.
However, Artsut and Ateyo ignore him and declare themselves the new leaders of the Omaticaya, pinning the blame for Jake's supposed death entirely on their son and calling for justice against him.
Arvok runs into the forest in fear and confusion and is pursued by warriors. However, the sequel to the movie will not be hitting the theatres in The biggest expenses were new film-making techniques and graphics as well as the creation of a new language that involved hiring a linguist. No one has found human remains, according to the company that owns the salvage rights. So, how much did she earn for playing the lead?
How did Jake Sully get paralyzed? Did Jake Sully die at the end of Avatar? Is neytiri pregnant at the end of Avatar? Do avatars have private parts? How many fingers do avatars have? Even before he uses the avatar, Jake bargains for able-bodiedness in a deal with the company's military leader, the hyper-masculine Colonel Quartich Stephen Lang. Quartich likes the idea of having a jarhead in the avatar crew and sees an opportunity to obtain military intelligence: "You get me what I need and I'll see to it you get your legs back when you rotate home.
The first is that Jake wants to be able-bodied; the second, that his disabled legs are not his "true" self.
Central to the narrative logic of Jake Sully's character is a concept that Robert McRuer has termed compulsory able-bodiedness McRuer notes that definitions of able-bodiedness are articulated in negative terms as in "free from disability" so that able-bodiedness is always dependent on disability in same way that heterosexuality is definitively dependent on homosexuality While such a binary implies two choices, people are socially compelled to adhere only to one, rendering the expectation that everyone at all times desires to be able-bodied.
In Avatar , this fantasy of able-bodiedness is interwoven with a return to heteromasculine military readiness and the possibility of romantic heterosexual love. Upon first entering the avatar body, Jake rips off his monitoring cables and jubilantly sprints through the Pandora forest, relishing the sensation of running that he has been unable to access in his human form since his spinal cord injury.
Thus, his first journey into Pandora represents a smugly celebrated freedom from disability, a point underscored by the dramatic visual attention given to his first run with his "new" legs. While the other scientists struggle with their anthropological study of the Na'vi, it is Jake who gains entry into the group by means of a seemingly mystical blessing from the forest.
When Neytiri first spots Jake, she raises her bow and arrow to kill him, but stops when a glowing white seedling gently drifts down into the frame: Something about him is different. Somehow, we are shown, he is sacred. Sure enough, after their first discussion, the seedlings overwhelm Jake's body as he holds his long, blue arms outstretched in a divine Christ-pose.
It is an image steeped in paternalism: at last, the white, able-bodied savior has arrived. In addition to his shift toward able-bodiedness, Jake also experiences a racial transformation. Jake Sully, lost the use of his legs while on duty as a Marine. Sully, played by able-bodied Sam Worthington, ends up on a mission to the lush moon of a distant planet where current technology gives his mind access to a cloned body of one of the local humanoid aliens, the Na'vi. The human-Na'vi interactions on Pandora have drawn criticism and praise for what some see as political undertones about conquest, environmentalism and war.
But for Muha and others with spinal cord injuries, the movie's greatest statement was to feature a paraplegic lead character in an action movie. Wheelchair New Jersey. Steve Coleman, of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, thought "Avatar"succeeded in showing the mental and emotional strength of disabled veterans. Coleman, who spent 25 years in U. Army Special Operations, also thought Sully's interactions with the Na'vi and with other soldiers on Pandora reflected some real-world dichotomies in the military.
