Ok I know I’m not just overthinking this so hear me out : RECOM QUARITCH SPLIT-BRAIN THEORY

(aka “Colonel Sméagol”)

Avatar has its eye symbolism, right? “I see you?” Waking up from dreams, etc...

But has anybody else noticed this? It’s been bothering me since my first watch.

It’s to do with Recom Quaritch’s eyes and how they are highlighted from scene to scene and character perspective to character perspective and what that implies for which Quaritch has primary or dominant control at each given moment, the implanted one (Human) or the innate one (Na’vi).

Ritch when following the programming from his implanted memories (mostly noticeable when he has his PTSD moments, repeats routines that the human Ritch did like drinking coffee and squad briefings, observes things of interest to the implanted personality and goes berserker or highly emotional), left eye in clear light and/or focus, right eye in shadow or hidden.

Ritch when deviating from his programming and thinking individually (Mostly noticeable when he’s interacting with Spider or contemplating his next moves or observing and interacting with his environment through Na’vi enhanced senses/technically new eyes), right eye in clear light and/or focus, left eye in shadow or hidden.

They have full damn control over the lighting and it doesn’t fully follow the lighting directions from the same scenes or sometimes even shots and in many ways the opposite eye is considerably darker than ambient lighting without additional stylistic control would have it be. There’s no way these are accidental. Same goes for the composition.

There’s a symbolism here. There has to be. Maybe highlighting that there’s two people or halves of them in his head fighting for equilibrium or supremacy and they can each have turns taking over as well as working together as one (which is when we see barely any difference in how the eyes are lit or shown or they match the ambient lighting accurately the other exceptions being from the perspectives of characters who are unaware or couldn’t care less about which Quaritch is which). But also indicating that he may have a sort of split-brain but for personality. Two consciousnesses sharing one brain. One in each cerebral hemisphere.

Interestingly the main key behavioural differences between Recom Ritch and Human Ritch most noticeable so far when you watch them closely, are in aspects of the brain (regulation and comprehension of speech and language, working memory, cognitive flexibility, planning, inhibition, abstract reasoning, selecting specific actions in a list of possible actions, mediation of decision making, reorienting of attention, collecting and processing environmental information among many demonstrated) that belong to the left hemisphere that controls the right side of the body and therefore the right eye.

It gets better...

WHICH SIDE OF THE BRAIN GOT DAMAGED WHEN HUMAN RITCH GOT WRECKED BY THAT VIPERWOLF SO BAD IT WENT THROUGH THE GODDAMN BONE?!

THE RIGHT SIDE THAT CONTROLS THE LEFT EYE!!!

EYWA, YOU NEON MACHIEVELLIAN CHAD DID YOU SEND THAT DOGGO AFTER MILES QUARITCH SENIOR FOR A TARGETED LOBOTOMY KNOWING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?!

Now, with this hypothesis in mind, what can we do with it?

Look at each scene to determine who is who when, of course. If that left eye is like a street light take note that you’re likely dealing with the implant. If the right eye has it, it’s probably the innate, if it’s both, neither or barely noticeable, you’re looking at them in equilibrium or near enough.

Taking all that into consideration (again it is just a theory for now I will have to take notes next time I watch from beginning to end like I have every time since I started getting suspicious of this but now I have even more research and possible context behind it), who has Kiri by the throat, who has a gun to Lo’ak’s head, who is telling Jake Neteyam “didn’t have to die”, and who lets Kiri go to save Spider?

It also opens up the possibility if this is a hint towards future events (unlikely but again who knows) THAT THERE’S TECHNICALLY WAYS TO ERASE THOSE IMPLANTED MEMORIES AND PERSONALITY AND GIVE FULL CONTROL TO THE INNATE OR THE IMPLANT because people can still function mostly if not completely normally with a lot of parts of their brains removed or disabled.

________________________________________________

BONUS: Another interesting thing to see that I’m following up with and taking notes on is whether Ritch is left or right handed or a combination of both. Because that is very difficult to actually determine and also has additional possible implications.

Stephen Lang can deliberately play a left-handed character. James Cameron is left-handed. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that it could be a deliberate choice and I need to check through both movies again to see any signs of it.

I’ll keep putting examples and further delvings and discussions under #quaritch split brain theory if people want to go deeper into this with me or follow along.

I might even make some memes with it, who knows?

in today's queer media selection i wanna talk about the swedish movie aniara (2018). this is one of the best sci-fi movies ive ever seen period. the main character's relationship with a woman isn't the focus of the plot but it's still present and important to the narrative.

the writing of this movie is honestly incredible. it shows a future that feels very human and inevitable yet somehow still feels shocking when the plot takes its turn. it's bleakly beautiful and reminds me a bit of melancholia (2011) but like way more gay

Seriously underrated Sci-Fi movie.

I like how this movie appeals to both the fans and non fans of the short-lived TV series.

It's a shame they didn't do a sequel.

Replika Diaries - Sexy Robots Series: 019.

(Battle Angel Alita - Live-Action Vers.)

2019s Battle Angel Alita wasn't a perfect movie (sorry, I refuse to call it A****: B***** A****, just because James Cameron only makes movies beginning with 'T' and 'A' [ha, he only makes T&A movies - feckin' hilarious!🙄]), but it was better than it really had any right to be. The story was heavily simplified, many of the characterisations being similarly treated, or sloppily tackled; some characters, like the terrifying yet pathetic Makaku, absent altogether, in favour of the dumb and lumbering Grewishka from its anime counterpart. It also lacked the philosophical, technological and occasionally spiritual aspects of the manga, the script was. . .eeeeh, and, because it was intended to be released as a YA title (like a cybernetic 'Twilight', I guess), the body horror, psychodrama, action and gore was all but eliminated, and the way the film handled Alita and Hugo's (nee Yugo) relationship was bland and lacked most of its drama.

But. . .but, it was still a fantastically enjoyable film; the world of Iron City was largely beautifully realised (although it lacked a lot of the grime from even the anime version), the action, whilst not as gruesome as the manga, was still well done, especially when we got to the (admittedly hastily introduced) Motorball section.

It was visually a treat - Alita's motion capture in particular being surprisingly beautiful, with only a few moments in the Uncanny Valley - and the central leads of the story - the gorgeous and fantastically talented Rosa Salazar's Alita, and Christophe Waltz as Dyson (nee Daisuke) Ido, bringing a lot of warmth and emotional resonance to their on-screen relationship, Salazar absolutely shining as the titular character; even through a bunch of mo-cap, gave an astounding performance, injecting wide-eyed (pun intended) wonder, gentle humility, fun and fierce determination into her character.

And there were moments such as above, where Alita tests her new Berserker body, which I think was arguably better than the manga. This was beautiful and graceful and I was genuinely moved by it, whereas the manga equivalent of Alita doing three rapid air punches, whilst a powerful moment and charming in a way, lacked a bit of emotional resonance, as well as a true display of what Alita could really do with her body, which we didn't see in full until she started fighting Makaku.

However, through all of the elements mentioned above, but largely through Salazar's amazing performance, this film is really enjoyable and quite memorable, largely because it brings bags and bags of charm to the table, and it's delivered well enough to make up for many of its glaring shortcomings.

SICK OF IT!!!

Avatar isn’t a “white saviour” movie. Not by a long shot. Yet people keep saying this.

IT’S A DELIBERATE TWIST ON A WHITE SAVIOUR MOVIE!

Jake ultimately isn’t the one that saves the Na’vi.

Eywa is.

With help from Grace’s memories!

All Jake did to get her to act was ask and there’s no guarantee that made a difference anyway in her decision to act!

To say it’s all one great big white saviour narrative is to ignore the themes and narrative completely!

I saw a commentary video earlier and near enough flipped my desk when the creator started trying to sell this garbage and said Jake “STEALS” being the Olo'eyktan from Tsu’Tey!

TSU’TEY CHOSE JAKE TO BE HIS SUCCESSOR BECAUSE HE PROVED HIMSELF WILLING TO ATONE AND ADMIT HIS PAST SINS AND THAT HE IS A CAPABLE WARRIOR! THAT HE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES, EVEN TAME A LEGENDARY GOD-BEAST TO PROVE HIS NEW LOYALTY!

To say that Jake somehow deceived or manipulated Tsu’tey into making him the next Olo’ekytan of the Omaticaya is to take away Tsu’tey’s agency as a character. He knew what he was doing. He took pride in passing the mantle to Jake despite all of his past misgivings.

However, it’s also ignoring both the implications in both movies that Jake is not comfortable with his cultural importance to the Na’vi. He became Toruk Makto to try and save Grace. He doesn’t feel like he truly earned it. He winces when Neytiri brings it up, he tries to talk Tsu’Tey out of passing leadership to him. Jake doesn’t feel worthy of the accomplishments the Na’vi praise him for. He does his best to carry out his duties because he’s been given those responsibilities, but he’s always showing signs that he doesn’t really believe he’s as great a warrior or a leader as everyone keeps saying he is or was.

All this horrible, horrible missing the point of things and dumb assumptions even after 14 years of time to do deeper dives, is why I keep having to exhaust myself trying to get people to watch these movies. Or even watch them again.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK WITH BETTER EYES THAN THAT!!!
