* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Teylan always believes Mercer will show mercy even though it's obvious he has none towards any Na'vi. [[spoiler: It's because of this naive thinking that the initial Resistance HQ gets destroyed by the RDA. After this Teylan wises up and takes a TropesAreTools approach in-universe: he feigns still siding with Mercer but plots to covertly give the player character intel at just the right moment (in the middle of what looks like him tricking you into a trap). This allows the player character to liberate the Western Frontier, and Teylan even fools Mercer at the end so that he can be trapped in his own base as it explodes.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: Mokasa says this as his way of justifying betraying the Sarentu Clan to the RDA, claiming it was either their children or his clan's. It falls flat because it caused the Kame'tire to cut themselves off from the other clans and sent their tsahìk into borderline suicidal depression.]]
