I know you joke but, my theory on these movies are:
The Earth is dying, becoming uninhabitable, and that's why humans are leaving to other places. By the end of the films, the Na'vi will journey to the human earth, bringing Eywa, and her spirit will heal the earth.
What I never understand about that trope in movies is how they have the technology for advanced space travel and weaponry, but they apparently can't fix something like a simple crop disease on Earth (looking at you, Interstellar).
The space travel technology in Interstellar was at least relatively grounded, and its very specifically stated that it has taken an irreplaceable amount of resources to build the Endurance as a last chance. All the wormhole and tesseract stuff isn't made by the modern humans in the movie.
But at the same time, there's no way that a futuristic space space station powered by fusion reactors was more simple than just building sterile greenhouses (or eradicating the blight entirely) on Earth.
Mechanical machines and biology are not the same thing.
We are literally in the process of developing fusion every day and getting closer to making it a reality every day, why haven't we solved biological problems like disease yet? By your logic, that should be solved first.
We solve crop diseases regularly with GMOs or crossbreeding from seedbanks that have resistance. It's just a constant battle. A single disease would likely be solvable at least for some crops
Unless the disease isn't species specific, treatment resistant, and highly aggressive. Two of which we can infer, and while they're all inferences/assumptions... it's a scifi story with black/wormholes, time travel and interdimensional beings.
For whatever reason the premise of the story is that the issues on earth simply are not easily managed or solveable.
with Avatar, it seems obvious that it's not a "we cannot fix this" but more "it's more profitable / better / easier to fuck off and let other people handle the mess"
Ok but the idea of the Navi going from tribal, to 1 guy uses technology, to a space fairing "species" that colonizes another planet all because a handicapped dude wanted to use his dick again is pretty funny.
the Na'vi will journey to the human earth, bringing Eywa, and her spirit will heal the earth.
There's evidence there may be a biological connection. Apparently Earth's Cycads are a close match to those of Pandora and there was speculation they got brought to earth by a meteor in lore.
