Avatar: The Way Of Water - 22 WTF Moments

4. Neteyam Dies

The epic battle continues, with Jake and Neytiri's oldest son Neteyam (Jamie Flatters) managing to rescue the kids kidnapped by Quaritch, but during the daring escape he also ended up being shot.

And surprisingly enough, Neteyam actually succumbs to his wounds, dying in the arms of his family while they can do nothing to save him.

It's a genuinely shocking death in a film so intrinsically centered on family, that a child ended up dying rather than Jake or Neytiri themselves.

Neytiri's devastated reaction to it is absolutely heartbreaking, and a testament to Zoe Saldana's excellent performance throughout these movies.

Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes). General video game, TV and film nut. Occasional sports fan. Full time loon.
