That’s how Col. Quaritch illustrated Pandora and its people— the universe from Avatar.
But I do have a different perception of the universe; secluded from the ‘civilised’ world, my fantasy universe is utopian in feature, vivid in colour, and as dynamic as one can imagine. In fact, I firmly believe every blockbuster should follow this hype, adopt the vibe, and make the scenario this much alive. Outstandingly aesthetic, the dauntless heroes of the movie protect the universe so dear to them that they don’t hesitate to give their life for its sake.
Well, that’s for the cinematic context— of course, heroes should defend their universe at any cost, and the Na’vi; indigenous to Pandora are no different.
Similar to Green Lantern or, say, that brown bear from Alaska— they are very protective of their universe, not just because they live there, but because they love every bit of it.
So, why Pandora is my ideal fantasy universe?

This—this is the point for what I am so fond of in this exclusive realm of the fantasy world— where life collides with the antagonistic force in a classic yet explosive way. Every living creature, even the inanimate ones, form stunning imagery vivid in detail, astonishing in function, and genius from all sides. Be it the flying dragon rich in colours, awe-inspiring mountains hovering over the space, or glowing fauna— you cannot even afford to blink while feasting your eyes on the subtle characteristics of Pandora’s settings.

This summarises all— the eternal loop that maintains harmony.
It will be insulting to the indigenous people if I don’t talk about their intelligence.
Yeah— intelligence acquired from experience and nature is the most creative of them all. And my people, Na’vi; blessed by the ‘Tree of Life’— a tree that beholds the Sacred Spirit and wisdom that nurture the local inhabitants. Their belief toward life and worldly existence is so practical that trying to understand it often becomes therapeutic to me.
All energy is only borrowed, and one day you have to give it back.
Indeed, Na’vi people are intelligent, practical, and respectful to mother nature. As a nature-loving individual, I don’t find any reason not to love the concept of Pandora’s universe and rank it top of others.
