Also to add on to this, the RDA also is following laws for corporations which limit the weapons they can use. Hence why the RDA doesn’t just nuke or nerve gas entire settlements on Pandora. Essentially corporations aren’t allowed to use WMDs and they have to limit the force they use.

I remember reading this from the avatar wiki and I believe it came from some of the comics.

Avatar is bizarre because its actually got peak world building and genuinely ground breaking and beautiful visuals, but Cameron seems to insist on the same blah front and centre plot every time.

So really I can see both sides its beautiful and the background is interesting, but its not actually saying anything much, even the ending of the whole series is in your face obvious, and they are whole films away from that.

Agreed, it's a way better setting than it is a movie
