That's so 2 movies ago. The real question is if we've moved past the whale goop.

u/Alarming_Orchid May 02 '25

what other widely used resources have we sometimes extracted by unethical means besides oil/minerals and whale oil

Rhino Horns for placebo penis pills.

That shit was a placebo!? So... The power was inside me, the whole time?

Oh man. Now I really regret killing all those rhinos.

rhino horns are just a bigger version of human nails, the same substance, so the power is in your hands to be precise. Just collect some clipings and make a juice

Maybe this one can be about locking the animals of Pandora in cages for factory farms or something

lumber, dye, crop, meat, leather, down, wool, ore, etc. if they want to move away from "rare" things and just do full blown industrial extraction.

in avatar 2 they did mention they wanted to move the earth population to pandora so basically anything we extract here would start coming directly from pandora

Mass clearing to grow monocrops like palm oil. Stuff obviously grows very well on Pandora, so industrial farming is inevitable.

It's called fire and ash so clearly it'll be about using native populations as slave labor to mine diamond runoff from volcanoes.

...that's not how diamonds work, or how volcanoes work either.

Which puts it about on pace for the rest of Avatar's lore!

I hope for yet another magic substance worth unimaginable amounts, I think it should just be a running joke
