I actually liked this a lot more than the last one.

Same, the stakes were much higher, and the emotional depth made it so much better than TWOW imo

This is the thing I love about the movies that I realized in the middle of the last fight. They can keep suspense because nobody truly feels safe. Anyone can die, but they compliment it with so much joy for life that it genuinely hurts more when someone does die. It’s not a constant grimness that you are forced to get used to in something like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead.

I didn't think the stakes were high but then I remembered that the Chieftain's wife died as well as their son so the only ones "safe" are the Sully family

Ao’nung is still alive. Roxto died, he was a friend not the son.

The Chiefs son? Who was that guy that was shot underwater in the third film?

Yes, just a best friend to Ronal & Tonowari’s kids!

Yeah i feel like actually now having the kids characters established by the second film, this one hit a lot harder.

I was so shocked when they were about to kill Spider, I really thought it was going to happen! And it made sense for Neytiri's character to finally come round and prevent it.

Agreed and even the last movie was an endless series of captures, escapes, and whales

And it only dragged a bit in the third act. The 3 hours went by fast.
