I've been thinking about how their dynamic could actually work, since most of their relationship development happens off-screen. I feel the need to highlight their family dynamics in the fandom 😔😔

A teenager with teenage maximalism (well, age-appropriate) and natural stubbornness — and his soldier father with an emotional intelligence of a matchstick and just as much natural stubbornness (it runs in the family) — they can really only argue.

But not seriously. It's more like messing around than an intellectual clash.

Quaritch doesn't know how to talk about feelings, but he can let himself tease his son, give in during their playful fights, and — heaven forbid — let himself get yanked by the tail.

Because this is the connection he's been waiting for. Not as two strangers, but as father and son. For Spider, it's the same — he just hasn't realized it yet, too busy standing his ground and terrorizing a three-meter blue giant's tail 😼

The Colonel doesn't understand Eywa, but he could understand his son's need to be seen and heard. And until the director lets them have a real conversation — no labs, no chases, no chaos — they'll keep arguing. Sometimes about the connection of all living things. Sometimes about thanator farts

No matter how many times he insists he’s “over it,” Kiri only grows more furious, snapping back that it isn’t forgiveness. It’s blind devotion.

“You’re a grown man now, Spider! You don’t live under Jake and Neytiri’s thumb anymore! You don’t have to keep it bottled up inside. You can be angry at them! It’s okay! You can stop pretending you’re not angry!”

But Spider, only twenty and already so unbearably tired, just shakes his head.

“Kiri… just let it go. It’s done. It's okay."
