idk about betray humanity. second movie made it pretty clear that the humans weren't there for the good of humanity - it was to profit off (and destroy in the process) Pandora's natural resources for the benefit of a few rich billionaires
Would’ve been interesting if the whale blubber they were harvesting in the second movie cured cancer instead of being some luxury, “it makes you look young” juice.
It makes it more accurate though for them to kill a multiton animal for an ounce of proteins
Just like killings rhino's for their horns, so they can make their pps hard
Anything organic like would be more efficient to synthesize after it's discovery. If the writers said it can't be synthesized, it would just be the writers pushing a false dichotomy. Very few things can't be synthesized and the things that can't, are harvested responsibly, like horseshoe crab blood.
The problem with sci-fi is that it comes with its own solutions. A responsible society would engineer a brainless whale it could grown in tanks back home.
The problem comes when the usual culprits of capitalism (e.g. top-down management, the unyielding greed of shareholders for quick profits, decisions made based on limited information and no ingenuity) stop us from invoking a working solution.
Competition between companies is supposed to fuel innovation and non-evil production, but mostly it promotes anti-competitive practices.
But then it's not natural! If I'm a future space billionaire, of course I'd want the real stuff with animal suffering involved, duh.
Normally, I'm against fraud, but if I could make a businesses of selling fake Rhino Horn Dick medicine to showoff millionaires, I would.
Just fill some mason jars with some sort of powder (maybe plaster?) put a picture of a rhino on it and sell each one for $500.
Edit: Maybe small vials full of ground-up fingernail would be more "realistic"?
I was joking, but there's already counterfeit rhino horns being put out by conservationists.
You would think that, with their technology, they would be able to grow the material in a lab. Would probably be cheaper too.
The suffering is the point
I've only seen the first one and I'm pretty sure they made that clear in the first one.
Nah, they just wanted to help make the region stable like the U.S. did with [insert third world country with oil or equivalent resources].

Wow who would have ever seen that coming
"Wee need wahle brains!"
Missing the last two points:
> Would do it again
> Did nothing wrong
REJECT MODERNITY, EVOLVE
