Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

"Avatar" 2; Some cool creatures this time

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

This is cool. I found the trailer to "Avatar 2", and they show some pretty cool creatures. Basically, Jake and the rest of the Omaticaya hear this legend of an Atlantis-type civilization. So Jake, Neytiri, and a couple others grab their banshees and fly to where this lost continent is supposed to be.

There, they find another human colony, this time made up of Russians and Na'vi. It shows some intriguing marine creatures, some Na'vi culture if they decided to become industrial, and the destruction of Eywa.

It's pretty cool. Watch and discuss.

It's not April Fools.

I still got the best April Fools Prank though, if I remain an admin that long. :whistle:

Wow, this forum never had a whistle emoticon. Glad I just added it.

You know what would be a decent plot for a sequel? A crossover with The Salvation War.

In fact, what Avatar needed all along was the knowledge on weaponry that TSW had; real weapons would destroy the nazis Na'vi just like they ripped angels and demons apart, while on Avatar the nazis Na'vi beat human technology using animals. That does not work in real life.

Real weapons did massacre the Na'vi. It was only when Pandora's McAfee security system kicked in that the humans lost.

I'm still convinced that Quaritch could have taken it over on his own. He doesn't need air. He has aliens to kill.

...Is ethics a word in your vocabulary?

Anyway, I doubt viral bombing would work, seeing as how Pandoran life is probably of a different chemical composition to Earth organisms.

It was an okay movie, but not worth the hype. I'd actually prefer there never to be a sequel unless someone else does it.

If you start rooting for the villain in any movie about a 'moral lesson' then that aesop has effectively failed.

Oh, and glowing moss? That glows when you touch it? That was so incredibly rediculous I couldn't get over it. It STILL bugs me.

Russians vs USA on Pandora would be cool with absolutely no na'vi but keep everything else
