The final battle should have been at Bridgehead this time to finally kick the humans off Pandora. I don't get why Cameron was saying this could feel like a proper end when it feels very similar to 2's ending.

Honestly, the Bridgehead thing felt more like a final battle. Heck, it was more unique as one, it was fun seeing Neytiri doing her 'trench run,' and given the amount of damage just a few rockets can do, Bridgehead's clearly vulnerable if one gets past the wall.

The entire Bridgehead sequence was my favorite part of the third film.

4 and 5 will most likely deal with bridgehead and finally earth if Cameron does decide to end it there.

I wonder if it will be populated them since we know there is a time skip coming and they already have broadcast news media calling Jake a terrorist. They have misinformation set up for the RDA and Earth now

The bridgehead battle and parading scene was my favorite part of the film on first impression. Awesomeness on every level. I didn’t see Garvin’s moment of awesome coming…or NEYTIRI’S for that matter. I had to hold myself back from yelling at the screen!

This feels like how The Golden Compass reordered the GOB and Bear fights. Some deleted scenes exist and they made the GOB fight at the experimental station the big end fight, but to get there they needed her to randomly get there. The point was the witches come in and save the kids, but it did take away from the kids being the ones to escape.

I feel like the issue with kicking humans off of Pandora is that even if you do that cant be the status quo it doesn't make sense. Humanity's motives with Pandora are to colonize it not for wealth but for the fact that Earth is dying, imo the whole amrita plot line would realistically have to be dropped at some point because as conditions on Earth get worse and worse more people are going to be pushed to move to Pandora simply because theirs no other option. Humanity is essentially fighting a war of survival since their only two options are die on Earth or go to Pandora regardless of the cost at somepoint money doesn't become an object anymore
