Was Neytiri really going to kill Spider and how will that play out moving ahead?
One of the most powerful moments in the film is when Neytiri threatens to kill Quaritch’s son, Spider, in order to save her daughter, Kiri. You’d like to think she’s bluffing because she’s been raising Spider for years, but that look in her eye makes it unclear. She might just kill him. Thankfully, it doesn’t come to that, and Quaritch lets Kiri go, but there is obvious tension between Spider and the Sullys later. You don’t just have your stepmom actually maybe try to kill you and go about your life.
