It’s not just a feeling – Fire & Ash heavily repeats elements from the previous Avatar films. The story mirrors the first movie with Jake reconnecting with Toruk and uniting the clans against the humans, and Eywa once again helps Pandora’s creatures fight back. Like in The Way of Water, the peaceful Tulkun break their code to attack whaling ships – this time on a much larger scale. Also, Quaritch again uses Jake’s family as bait, leading to a final, one-on-one showdown. Many scenes and images, like Toruk destroying a helicopter and the way the humans die in the sea battle, feel like we’ve seen them before.
