8. Quartich Forgets To Use Surgical Airstrikes Avatar
Yeah, it's an oldie, but it's a goodie too, and frankly I don't think I'd be able write a list like this without involving the manliest man on Pandora and his questionable battle tactics. Ok, so if you still don't know what I'm talking about, here's a recap. When it comes to the final showdown at the Tree Of Souls, Quartich attempts the tactic everyone uses on the Total War games. Namely, he throws everything at the cannons in this case 10 foot space aliens riding whatever passes for a steed in that place and sees what sticks. I guess that would be a good solution, if it was the only one available. Yet clearly, it isn't. At this point, humanity has become so crazily advanced that the things we put in the air and space, for that matter could stick a rocket on a six-pence, up a Na'vi's jacksie or say, at the base of a very important tree. All the guy had to do was surgically strike at the Tree Of Souls from on high before Jake Sully could round up all the clans, never mind before the planet could get its act together and crush the foreign invaders. Clearly, there'd be a lot less life lost on all sides, give or take a few tree-squishings. But instead, makes a big, grand show of slowly gathering his forces for a very public march on indigenous community's spiritual centre, all while exposing his ground troops to the hostile environment he'd spent an entire movie warning us about. Quite frankly, he was asking for it.
