The recombiant is very normal, but has had computer components implanted into their systems to become like a KillerRobot infiltrator. In contrast to Jake Sully and Miles Quaritch waking up with contrasting emotions, the infiltrator boots up like a machine and sits up, scanning their surroundings and answering questions from their handlers running diagnostics on their systems. They have programming to try and blend in with Na'vi culture and can learn new cultures at a rapid rate thanks to their learning computer augmentation, but they have enough flaws and defects that Jake Sully and other Na'vi will detect something off about their mysterious visitor.

** that doesn't match up with the first movie. Jake used to read about Pandora when he was a kid, and Grace wrote a best seller on the Navi.

[[WMG: Scoresby and his crew totally sing sea shanties.]]
A scene of them singing "The Wellerman" or Futurama's "Whalers on the Moon" was cut because it caused test audiences to immediately start rooting for the whalers.

This would lead to a Human Civil War that spans the fourth and fifth films (the "two part finale"), where the good humans team up with the Na'vi to fight the RDA.

* Not quite, Quaritch's brain was shipped back to Earth on a DataCrystal the size of a large flash drive, and the avatars were grown during the years-long trip to Pandora.



And he's going to be sporting a spiffy robot arm.

\n* Recombinant colonists might be required to work off the cost of their new bodies, reviving IndenturedServitude, and potentially creating a disaffected underclass who might join Jake's resistance movement.

As pointed out in other [=WMGs=] above, shifting Earth's population to Pandora with cryo-vaults would have massive logistical issues: Pandora's toxic atmosphere would require full-scale terraforming to become properly habitable, and with humanity numbering in the billions, an evacuation fleet would have to be ''gigantic''. What if, instead, the ultimate idea was to make a Na'vi recombinant for every evacuee? A cryovault of recombinant embryos and the data storage for human brain scans would presumably take up ''far'' less mass on an ISV than an equivalent number of cryo-pods for full-grown humans. Both the Avatar Project and the creation Quaritch's squad may well have served as test runs for this very concept. (Admittedly, recombinant production would have to be heavily refined to prevent the costs from being prohibitive, but that's not outside the realm of imagination.)

On a meta note, this approach would also prevent "Avatar" from becoming an ArtifactTitle in later films.

[[WMG: When the Na'vi move to take Bridgehead City, a key part of the assault will be from the water.]]
Bridgehead's array of turrets and massive surrounding killzone make an assault by air or land flat-out suicidal. Short of somehow disabling and/or sabotaging those defenses, the best approach would be through the harbor, below the cover of the water's surface. What with their armored hide, cavernous maws, surprising speed and extreme intelligence, a pod of (properly-convinced) Tulkun might even be able to serve as living "landing craft" for an amphibious assault.

* And we'll see the opposite. More Na'vi displaying bigotry toward Jake's kids as tome goes on due to the pressure RDA places. The films will end up highlighting that neither side is entirely morally bankrupt or morally pure.
