Tender tendrils: A love story There, they officially choose one another as mates, sealing their bond with a kiss. That's not all, though. Jake and Neytiri also link together via small tendrils that come alive at the end of their braided ponytails. That's right, the Na'vi appear to have sex via their hair.
During the mating, the couple will connect queues in an act called tsaheylu. This creates a state of unified body consciousness, in which both parties access the physical sensations of the other. A single instance of this act will create a powerful emotional bond that lasts a lifetime.
In the first Avatar, Jake and Neytiri mate before Eywa, and all you see them do is kiss. In the Collectors Edition Extended Version, in that scene they show Jake and Neytiri connecting their queues before they kiss, and you can tell by the expressions on their faces how intense it is.
Spider, whom audiences initially thought was Avatar 2's hybrid Na'vi and human child, is actually fully human. Spider - real name Miles Socorro (played by young Jack Champion) - was born in Pandora's "Hell's Gate" colony sometime around the events of Avatar.
Augustine's colleague Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) was the father and Grace conceived Kiri before the end of Avatar before somehow giving birth in her Avatar body. However, the more interesting theory is that Kiri is literally the child of Eywa due to some sort of immaculate conception.
Unless that theory is true, Grace was impregnated by someone. Kiri's brothers joke that the scientist Norm could be her father. The movie does not reveal much information about the birth of Kiri. It is unclear whether Kiri was conceived before Grace died and her avatar carried her to term.
The reference implies that a Na'vi's queue may be considered an intimate area of the body. Removing the queue of Pandoran wildlife has been shown to have severe effects. Despite this, It is unknown what would canonically happen if a Na'vi queue was cut off, but it is still implied to be serious.
Assuming Jake feels about 22 and Neytiri feels about 18 also helps ease some of the awkwardness of the ten-year age gap they technically have. There's also only a two-year age gap between Worthington and Saldana, as they were 33 and 31, respectively, when Avatar first came out.
Avatar: The Way of Water introduced Jake and Neytiri's children, but while three of them share Jake's characteristic of five fingers, the others have four fingers like their Na'vi ancestors.
Actually, during Na'vi sex, the couple (for some reason) start looking a bit like each other, and that change is only detected by Na'vi eyes. So, in the movie, Tsu'tey likely saw the change and got pissed. Na'vi couples connect their neural interfaces to create the lifetime bond.
Comics later reveal that without an outside force such as war acting against them, Avatars tend to live about 150 years. Ultimately, Aang's short life allowed some of the original characters to make appearances in The Legend of Korra, since her time as the Avatar could not start until after his death.
She was the first of the Na'vi tasked with familiarizing Jake with their ways. As time went on, their connection grew and they bonded with each other. James Cameron detailed in the script that "in human age she would be 18." That would make Neytiri 33 years old in Avatar: The Way of Water.
No, Avatar: The Way of Water doesn't have an extra scene during or after the credits. We don't get any Easter eggs or a "Jake Sully will return" message either, it just cuts to the studio logo.
Lifespan. Although lifespan data is incomplete, it is estimated Na'vi live 30% longer than the average human. Once born, Na'vi children mature more rapidly than humans. For example, Tuktirey is already 5'7" by the age of seven.
Eytukan learned to put his conflict with the Sky People aside during his interactions with Jake Sully, accepting him as a member of the Omatikaya clan. His leadership of the clan would eventually be passed on to Jake after the events following his heroic death in the destruction of Hometree.
In the construction of the Na'vi species, there are undeniable influences from Black and Indigenous cultures. Both films show Na'vi characters depicted wearing dreadlocks and braids, hairstyles with historical connections to Black and African cultures.
What does it mean when avatars connect their hair?
Tsaheylu is a Na'vi word meaning "bond" or neural connection. This describes the physical process by which Pandoran flora and fauna mentally connect to one another by the use of their queues.
Most species who live on Pandora, including the Na'vi, have a "neural whip" aka kuru/tswin (Na'vi name). That's how they can connect and bond, or simply "talk" and "learn" from Pandora.
Kiri is the inquisitive and intelligent adopted daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri. Not long after Grace Augustine's death, her dormant avatar was discovered to be pregnant, and Jake and Neytiri adopted the child when she was born.
Entertainment Weekly's Annie Barrett also dug into the deleted scene in 2010, speculating that it could have been cut because including it "might imply that tendril-intertwining is what happens when the Na'vi have sex, which, I guess, by definition would mean they also had sex with the trees and the six-legged panther/ ...
Before she died at the foot of the Tree of Souls, she told Jake that she was with Eywa. Despite her death, her avatar gave birth to a daughter named Kiri, who was later adopted by Jake and Neytiri.
