I’ve just realized something: Selfridge never gave a “justifiable” reason for wanting the Unobtanium beneath Hometree and as far as we know he ordered it entirely on his own out of impulsive greed.
I KNOW that he didn’t need a reason,and that genocide can NEVER be justified, but I’m talking about his justification from a purely pragmatic standpoint. 
Think about it—it’s never said that the mines they already had were in danger of running dry at any point soon (although in all fairness it’s not like any of the main characters would’ve needed to know if it HAD been) and there’s never any indication that the Venture Star that brought Jake to Pandora also brought a message from corporate six years too late demanding that they ramp up production (remember, this was before the quantum stuff in 2170 made it so that Pandora-Earth news was instantaneous). As far as we know, the Decision to bring down Hometree was entirely of Selfridge’s own plan and Selfridge’s alone, and the Omaticaya were chosen as “acceptable losses” purely because of their relative proximity and because they’d been a pain to Sec-Ops.
As far as the RDA was/is concerned, the destruction of the Omaticaya Hometree was all for nothing—not only did they never get around to mining under said tree aka the reason they destroyed said tree, but their forced retreat back to earth after being attacked out of vengeance by the people associated with said Hometree cut ALL the RDA’s access off from Unobtanium for nearly two decades.
Am I trying to defend the RDA’s actions? Not in the least, and I’m not saying that the RDA should’ve mined there AT All—there are twelve other moons orbiting Polyphemus aside from Pandora; they could’ve just as easily gone to one of the barren/uninhabitable moons and mined there .
What I AM saying is that all signs point to Selfridge’s proverbial eyes being bigger than his stomach with greed, and it being said greed that was ultimately the straw that broke the camel’s back of earth’s suffering afterwards. I’d say I’m surprised that Parker Selfridge isn’t regarded as the ACTUAL “Traitor to Humanity”, but considering how many people IRL still revere all (scummy) billionaires I’m really not.
Chemists, I love y’all. But as a linguistics nerd by heart. The newer names are just, a bit too on the point.
like tungsten is literally just heavy stone. Like yeah, it is a heavy stone. But it doesn’t even use any cool Latin. there could be a new element discovered called “helicopterkillium” because it is used for helicopters but it can kill you.
whats that new 'room temperature superconductor' everyone is talking about?
The benefits of a true room-temperature superconductor are phenomenal. From magnetic levitation to advances in nuclear power, such a substance has been sought for ages.
Unfortunately, the only known substance with that trait exists not on Earth, but on the forest moon of Pandora where it is known as "Unobtanium." Pandora is inhabited by a people called the Na'vi, who have every right to live in peace despite the encroachments of RDA, who sell the substance for millions of dollars back on Earth. Though this makes sense from an economic standpoint despite the cruelty of it all, the weird thing is that RDA has shifted to harvesting whale snot, which is stated to be far less valuable an even more difficult to obtain, but whatever, the fight scene was awesome and I hope they still get to make a third movie.
Unobtanium searching herself on google to find out alien whale brain juice knocked her off the list of "most valuable substance known to man"

right on the nose
I don't understand critics getting upset over writers calling fictional metals unobtanium, at least when the main characters are from English speaking countries.
Unobtanium is an old engineering meme, I can absolutely see somebody naming a newly discovered metal that if it had desirable properties for engineering.
This is why we’re here. Unobtanium. Because this little gray rock sells for twenty million a kilo. No other reason. This is what pays for the party. And it’s what pays for your science. Comprendo?
