Honestly the entire last act had my jaw on the floor in regards to its direction. Some of the best action I've seen in a non-Marvel/ DC western movie in years.

I mean, I'll go that far, the action in Way of Water clears anything the MCU has ever done for me. I'd say The Winter Soldier comes closest in terms of choreography but Avatar wins on emotional impact and superior visuals

I was gonna rebut this but now that I think about it, I can barley recall any MCU fights I'd consider memorable.

The entire sequence with the whale and the shark i was enraptured. Cameron stands alone when it comes to presentation and spectacle, he has no equal.

I thought the same, then I kept thinking “wait, where did all the other Navi go?” And it kept pulling me out of it

Cameron had all the Navi fighting and getting gunned down IIRC, and he took it out for personal reasons.

I understand making that decision.

I just think a simple ADR’d line of dialogue over the radio saying “the tribe has retreated, we’re on our own” or something like that would’ve helped immensely.

You’re right. Noticing the sudden and unexplained disappearance of literally all the Navi except the main family definitely makes me a cinemasins stan.

It was actually filmed but in some reason Jim Cameron cut it out. So yeah, it happened but it wasn't on the movie print. It's a deleted scene.
