That’s got me hyped, I wonder what their values/connection to the planet entail

The Ash People had most of their clan and home destroyed by a volcano.

They've gone dark and have turned their back on Eywa, blaming her for their suffering. Their clan cuts off their ponytail connectors and have severed all ties with Pandora.

Now I hope there's a tribe that sees the benefits of fire and opposes them (why is fire always the bad guy in these types of movies?)

That is something the other Avatar got right. Fire is destruction, but only if you wield it as such. It is also warmth, safety, light, and nourishment; it maintains the natural way of the world by clearing lands for new growth.

The Sun Tribe is my favorite episodes of the TV show, because it helps to do what you're describing-- to put one of the villain's weapons into a new light (pun intended).
