What if the Na´vi had been non-humanoid?

I think that JC intended the Na'vi to be humanoid to give them human characteristics - something WE can relate to. As you all know, the story is about "aliens" (this being the humans) attempting to take something that wasn't theirs - all to generate profit. This story is an exact "Hollywood adaption" of how indigenous people were treated. For example, the Indigineous Aboriginies were the spiritual owners of Australia and when the Eurotrash arrived, they assumed that the Aboriginies would give the land to them upon their arrival. As someone said before, Avatar promoted free thinking and deciding what to do because you felt it was right - regardless of orders. To create a fictional yet quite real adaption of an Indigenous culture was done so that they could be relateable, so that we could use it as self reflection.  Parker (the corporate skxawng), was a representation of human greed whilst Jake Sully was a representation of goodness. Two favourable sides were presented in the movie, but naturally, you would be drawn to the side of the Na'vi because YOU relate to them.

JC really showed how disgusting us humans can be when money is a factor.
Just like I said earlier. Seeing the Na'vi vaguely resemble us; their expressions and emotions are similar. It makes it that much easier to connect to the story, with empathy.

Human No More

I'm not sure on the skin colour... certainly, blue is my favourite colour and I love it ;D , but it could still have worked with another... blue is just the best colour - it's mentioned somewhere that is's actually a colour everyone likes, and colours like red are too aggressive and also harder to fit in with the rest of the environments, green would have blended in too much and is a cliche anyway (plus makes relatively little biological sense in mammals)

Thinking about it, orange, yellow, purple, they all seem too exotic and eye catching...
Blue is one of the only colors... Regardless, I still like blue.   ;D

oh, and to stay slightly on topic... if the na'vi hadn't looked like what they looked then... well lets just look at this example.  Would you want to _____ a murloc? they are still humanoid.  the humanoid definition if a very broad one.  so, things can still be pretty crazy while still being humanoid(back to murloc example)(who doesn't know what a murloc is?)  regardless, they HAD to be aesthetically pleasing.

Woah, Lolet...first the kissies everywhere :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* , and now Cthulhu?  Rakan better not hear about this. ::) (I won't tell)

In addition, if they were reptilian or insectoid, they would've been harder to "tsaheylu" with as well. ::)

Rakan should be proud, the other alien is an elder god from beyond space and time immemorial, and not some schmuck.
