AVATAR: World of Pandora - Complete Timeline & Recap
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 04. 2024
- AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER is a sequel 13 years in the making, and a lot has happened in the world of Pandora since the first film, James Cameron’s AVATAR. In this video we break down all the major additions to the Avatar timeline, from comics, games, and more, to deliver you the most up to date chronological timeline of AVATAR: THE WORLD OF PANDORA. As much as this video delves in Avatar History, it also dives deep into Avatar Lore. Hopefully, if the video performs well, we’ll continue this Avatar Timeline when Avatar 3 comes out. The third Avatar is tentatively titled Avatar: The Seed Bearer. Currently Avatar: The Way of Water has surpassed $2 Billion at the worldwide box office.

While you’re down here in the comments, don’t forget to *Like the video!* It really helps small channels like mine out. Thank you! I hope you enjoy the video.
We Avatar fans really are passionate as Cameron is
We really are!
No cap
Seriously this is true
This is why I love Cameron, I feel like he has the same vision has the fans. It's not about making profit (even tho he does lots of it), he clearly does it out of passion!
Just came back from seeing the 2nd one and had no idea there was THIS much lore and world building to it. It's so cool that you were able to outline this as best as possible and it'll be interesting to see where upcoming titles are placed on the timeline. Keep up the great work!
that's why the hate on Avatar 1 is just for the sake of hating it. The movie's worldbuilding was well done, well-researched and they really put a lot of effort to create it. They created a new language, they even hired a biologist and linguist
Thanks Andres! To be honest, the more I dug into the history of the lore and franchise the more I found. I couldn’t believe it.
I mean bro had like 15 years hebetter have made some lore.
I saw it today and I cried many times
It's a bit like the Star Wars prequels - the movies' story by itself is limp, but with the expanded universe to flesh it out, it's awesome.
Seen this after TWOW. Incredible film, I’m completely obsessed with Pandora, the love story between Jake & Neytiri, the whole idea of Jake having a change of heart and going against the evil RDA.
I’ve seen the new film 5 times now! 😂😭 maybe a bit too much but I couldn’t get enough of it idk how to describe this feeling I have of complete obsession and fascination with the whole story.
I think the reason it’s so compelling is because of the passion every actor has, I mean all the characters have a substance to them and the family message of it all is amazing, it really hits home.
Cannot wait for the other ones to come out but for now im gonna enjoy having avatar and the world of Pandora constantly on my mind!
That’s awesome man. I’ve been trying to get my wife to see it again (her 3rd time, my 5th time), but she won’t have it! 😂 😂
You are not alone in your feelings! I'm right there with you, and I KNOW there are TONS of others who feel the same way!!💙🩵💙
Watching this after seeing the movie, and this video just makes me appreciate it even more. Excellent work.
Awe man! That’s awesome. So happy to hear that.
Same here too. And I’m excited to see what’s next for this franchise in the future.
I watched way of water on the 16th when it came out n I just can't get this movie out of my head I love and thank you for this time line !
The movie is SO good, I know. Keep thinking about it.
Man, I hope Avatar 2 wins the best vfx, cinematography, sound design and production design Oscars🤞🤟
This is amazing. Thank you for all your hard work. You have such a gift for Timeline Chronology. It is incredible that a franchise as big as the MCU, Star Wars or even Avatar hasn't put your talents to more use (proactively, instead of just being a fan nitpicking and holding them accountable for their decisions that could ultimately pull people out of the story).
I really do hope that this film does well at the Box Office...and that we get ALL the sequels that James Cameron has planned.
Also, the way that you tease stories (espcially the comics/graphic novels) really does encourage fans of this franchise to buy/read them for themselves. Thank you for not spoiling those projects.
Overall, this has been done with such care...that your love for the property is abundantly seen.
Dakota. Man, my hat is off to you. This is incredible.
Graff, this is one of the best comments I’ve received in a long while. Thank you so much, for all your continued support. Hope you have a great day!
@@Geekritique - Awe, thanks. Marie and I love what you do. We aren't able to support you financially, but we can possibly encourage you to doing greater work in the future.Thank you, for entertaining us...along the way.
It's $555.7M now Worldwide box office.
@@randomly_random_0 - It will be interesting how quickly it gets to $1 billion. One pundant, Robert Meyer Burnett on The John Campea Show thought it my get there before the weekend (if only we got the International Box Office number by then), but most definitely by the end of the weekend.
This really does look like a juggernaught.
Wishing for good things for this movie. Whether or not it gets near or surppases the previous film...we will have Pandora with us for the foreseable future every other Holiday Season.
Actually in the pre-show of Flight of Passage it's told that "The RDA practiced bad mining habits over a generation ago". Also quite a few creatures from Avatar - The Way of Water can be seen during this experience.
My theory is that the RDA will remain relevant for the Avatar Universe for a little while longer. Personally until the year 2180, once the RDA is removed from Pandora. It takes "over a generation" for the events of Flight of Passage to occur. Since a generation generally means 20 to 30 years, and as described in the pre-show as 'over a generation ago" I would estimate 35 to 40 years after the "removal" of the RDA. So sometime near 2215 or 2220.
However this is just my theory, including my thoughts about when the expected year is that the RDA stopped their mining practices.
That’s some great deductive work, thanks for sharing!
Another video blown out of the water (no pun intended)! I watched this to be reintroduced to the franchise after being too young to grasp the first movie in 2009.
After this, I want to watch the first movie again. Great work Dakota! Another win of a video!
Thanks Brendyn. I appreciate it. I hope you get around to rewatching the first film, it’s better than most people remember it as being.
this is exactly what i needed to watch after watching Avatar 1 and getting ready for Avatar 2 this weekend!!!
So happy to help! I hope you’ll enjoy!
I recently saw that someone behind way of water confirmed that Frontiers of Pandora takes place in the one year time skip we saw in Avatar 2. I’m not 100% sure about it but it may be worth looking into
I’ll look into it! Thank you!
You always seem to open my eyes to news with every timeline video you drop... This is a really good preparation for me before seeing Avatar The way of water. Thanks Dakota 🔥🔥🔥
I’m glad you liked it! I hope you enjoy the new film!
Absolutely in love with your narrative and how you analyzed this movie/universe to perfection. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate the kind words.
@@Geekritique hey sir, I have a question but this is maybe a small spoiler so:
If you haven’t seen Avatar 2 don’t read further please.
Why doesn’t the orange dragon Taruk Makto appear in Avatar 2? Did he die or something?
The Toruk was allowed to fly away and be free at the end of the first film. Sully says Toruk Makto was no longer needed.
Amazing video! Thank you for making it. I ordered High Ground volume 1-3 so I'm very excited about those!
Glad you liked the video! You’re in for a massive treat with The High Ground! Enjoy.
Thanks for taking the time to make this geekritique. Having watched the way of water 3 times i am keen to fill in as much of the story as i can & wanted to do so in chronological order. Now i can. Great job, thanks again.
Glad to hear it! You’re very welcome!
This was amazing... I have had my mind opened and intrigued after watching this. I always was curious about the timeline
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Opening up the timeline to others was what I aimed to do!
Nice work, and thanks for linking to the comics in the description. 👍
Would love to see a companion video that includes the timeline for _Frontiers of Pandora._
Thanks for the comment. You’re welcome. I’ll have to update this timeline soon!
Watched avatar 2 recently and the love for the series and story came back instantly. This video is the type of video I was hoping to find to help with my still alive avatar curiosity. Can't wait for Avatar 3.
Glad you found the video.
Great video! Now I'm excited for the other major video you said was coming this month! 😄
That’s been pushed back a bit, but I’m working on it!
@@Geekritique ok but im still excited!!
This was such a cool video! Thank you! I saw Way of Water five days ago and liked it much more than I thought I would. So cool to see the other stories and character development. I’m looking forward to some of the upcoming books.
Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked Avatar and this video! I look forward to those books too!
Thank you for showing the world more of the story I love!!!
You’re so very welcome!
This is amazing!! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this love seeing branched out especially in between mcu things would love to see more franchises covered! Keep up the good work already shared with my friends I know like the movie
Thanks so much man, you’re the best. I’ll keep it up. Glad you liked it.
Great vid loved the graphic novels breakdown
Happy to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Great video brother! I never knew the Avatar lore was this deep in face value but that is truly amazing! 😳 Now you just got me even more hyped to check out Way of the Water when I eventually get the chance!
You gotta check the film out! Glad you watched the vid though, happy you liked it.
@@Geekritique Anytime man! Can't wait to check it out after I've seen the movie!
I've always wanted to know how the first contact with the navi went, immediately after the humans first landed, how the navi reacted
also how the navi and pandoran wildlife reacted to the rovers sent
The navis reaction to being in space too is something interesting to know
I’d love to know how those interactions went down!!
Same here
I’m watching this after watching the second movie, and my my I’m truly blown away by the beauty of pandora and now I’m fully obsessed with everything avatar related.iv been binge watching avatar videos since diving deeper in it more than ever before I can’t wait for the other movies to come out
Same here! I can’t wait for more Avatar! Glad you found your way to this video! Hope you enjoy!
Amazing work
Thanks Jeffrey!
I'm watching this after I saw the second film! Love these thank youuuu
Awesome, I hope you enjoyed the movie.
I saw The Way of Eater 4 days ago on IMAX 3D, I love the film!.. I can't wait for the next film!... I love this video, well put together and I hope you keep the Pandora timeliness going!!!!
I definitely will! Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
Man wtf this video is so well planned and made. Thanks for your time, big hug
Really glad you liked it!
This was a great video! Couldn't agree more that the comics, especially The High Ground, are required reading for Avatar fans. I was actually surprised how much Tsu'tey's Path made me love his character. I didn't have any issues with him before, but now I will outwardly defend him when people just call him a bully. I'm really looking forward to the new games they have announced. Will definitely save up some PTO for when they release. 🥰
Thanks man! Yeah! I feel the same way, especially Tsu’tey being a much more endearing character! I’m really excited about the upcoming games, they look excellent!
Man, don't worry about spoilers. Whoever's gonna watch this should've already watched A2 man...I wouldn't want to watch another video of this with spoilers and going through the entire history again...
Lol, well maybe I’ll think twice on it if I ever make another.
This movie is a cinematic masterpiece
100%
this was amazing!! thank u so much
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
would love to see an updated part 2 that includes Frontiers of Pandora 🤩
In the last two weeks, I've watched the first one twice on the TV, (normal and later extended cut) and the second one twice in cinema (2D and later 3D HFR - I preferred it in 2D). I have also been kind of obsessed with Avatar lately 😄
Awesome. I think we all have the Avatar bug right now.
Thank you for this. Amazing world!
You’re very welcome!
I think Able Ryder (Avatar Game) canonically sided with the RDA (RDA Choice) and later joined SciOps' rebellion at Hell's Gate during the Battle of the Tree of Souls. The reason for this is that the Na'vi story had Ryder ride a Great Leonopteryx which goes against Neytiri's great grandfather to be the last rider of the Great Leonopteryx until Jake arrived.
Yeah that’s a definite retcon of the source material and definitely doesn’t work with the first film.
@@Geekritique According to Pandorepedia, only Avatar Frontiers of Pandora and Avatar Reckoning are canon. Do you like the decision for Avatar Frontiers of Pandora to be a First-Person Perspective game rather than a Third-Person Perspective like the Assassin's Creed games?
So long as the story’s good, I’m all for it. Can you link to the page that pandorapedia claims they’re canon?
ANOTHER BANGER FROM THE TIMELINE MASTER
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Thank u so much for this Dakota. I have some comics I gotta read chronologically now. Merry Christmas⛄️
You’re very welcome! I hope you enjoy them!
@@Geekritique Thnks mate. Ur Channel is a HUGE inspiration to my channels timeline. I ❤️ ur videos. Keep up the AMAZING work
After seeing the movie. And I’m going to see it again in theaters, I can’t get enough!
Believe it or not, I’ve seen it 4 times now 👀
perfect timing, just watched the film
The best timing haha!
Watching this AFTER! Already saw the way of water! So excited for this vid
Awesome, hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you!
No problem!
I watched the movie and when I got home this video got uploaded
Need more so I'm glad
Glad to hear it!
I saw your recap after seeing the way of water. Wish I had seen it before hand! haha
Well I hope you enjoyed the movie regardless!
Watching after!
Ps, your video is great, and I did enjoy it, and i will probably try to get my hands on the comics
Thank you, I appreciate that. Hope you enjoy the comics if you pick them up!
@@Geekritique most definitely
Wow, this is a fantastic timeline! Thank you so much for your work. I am interested in creating my own timelines what software did you use to create yours?
The visual timeline aspect of it was created from scratch on Photoshop. The video was compiled on Premiere Pro.
@@Geekritique i see. Thank you so much!🙏🏼
Great video
Thank you!
I haven't seen it yet. I'm so excited!
You’re in for a serious treat!
Nice!
Nice!
Great job making the video. I haven’t watched the way of the water….yet
Thanks so much! If you liked this, you’ll enjoy the film!
i watch this vid after watched the avatar 2 twice, great content! supporting all the way from Indonesia 🇮🇩
So glad for your support, thank you!
Hello fellow indonesian
@@izuto727 halo apa kabar sobat? ☺️
I had no idea that those comic books existed. Luckily they are sold here in Finland too, at least the most relevant ones. Thanks, great timeline!
Glad to help! I hope you enjoy them!
How many times have you seen Avatar: The Way of Water? I’ve watched it 4 times now! It’s so good!
seen it 3 times
already watched it once
Once on 21/12/22
Tomorrow I will see the second!!
4
i loved this pls keep going don't listen to the hate comments
Thank you, I definitely plan to make more videos like this.
I've seen way of water. Love it
I love how Avater: Frontier of Pandora takes place in the middle with jake and neyteri fighting the RDA and after. Although I haven't finished the game i feel like they would be mentioned again at some point about them leaving...... unless them leaving takes place way later
do you have a list of the background ambient music you chose for this video? I love your music choice
Hi, amazing video recap sir can i ask you a question?
how did u manage to do in the editing the timeline at min 1.51?
cuz i'm trying to find a template similar to yours but i'm not able to find it
if you could help me I'll be very happy
I confess that i'm not that good at editing but i wanna practice more and learn more hehehe
Unfortunately there’s no template. I had to learn photoshop from the ground up and physically create a visual timeline to then import into my video editing software.
@@Geekritique oh i see, and how can i create it? i'm learning photoshop in the tattoo accademy actually but i'm not that skilled sadly, as a girl i find troubled with this kind of things T_T
if you could be so gentle to tell me the steps I'll for real very happy for your help (i wanna try to do a video analisis over the character of a BL story called "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" :-) )
I watched it once now I’m gonna rewatch it with a better understanding
Glad to help!
9:00 - This just further reinforces to me that James Cameron has some sort of personal vendetta gainst Neytiri 😭why does he make her lose everything
A character that has experienced a lot of loss receives more sympathy from viewers. You appreciate who they are and what they hold on to all the more so.
I have always loved the first avatar movie. The world of pandora is really something special imo. The extended cut is great and I had heard there were comics but never knew the depth and lore they had. I will definitely be checking these out to fill the gap until the 3rd movie. The second one was great but that middle hour felt like a rehash of the first movie. Not that I didn't like it. I did. The second film was great.
Oh I was super surprised by how much lore the comics added. I really recommend them if you can get your hands on them!
Watching after. It was great the first and 2nd one.
Nice, glad you liked them.
there is sooo much lore into avatar it's incredible too bad james Cameron can't make a 6 hours movie for those that say its lore and story are sooo weak or sth kappa avatar is a masterpiece
I know, I’d definitely sit through a 6 hour flick like that!
Haven't seen it yet. I heard I won't be disappointed
Make sure you see it in 3D. I highly recommend it.
Watching this while playing the new game!! The interactive world introduced in frontiers of pandora have me absolutely lost.. I find myself spending hours in the world without even noticing a minutes passed by.., such a beautiful experimce and I recommend any fans of the series check it out ASAP!! It drags you in and refuses to let you leave sometimes… an absolutely amazing journey and story✌️❤️
Im here after buddy!
Thanks for coming bud
I watched the second one as soon as it came out in my area (the 15th of december) and people are already hating on it. I loved it. Sue me.
Nobody in my circle is hating on it, so I can’t really relate, but I do plan to sue you.
Ubisoft has stated that Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora will also take place in between the 1 year time gap in the way of water.
Oh that’s interesting! Can’t wait for that.
I agree with your assessment that James Cameron has become much more relaxed about others writing stories in his universe, seeing him assign the stories for the sequels to four(?) different writers (granted, he has the last word) and him discussing the idea of someone taking over should he die or become otherwise unable to finish the films. I feel like he has become a more and more pleasant and less self-focused person after Titanic, or since he started working on Avatar.
Totally agree. I’d like to think Avatar, in its own way, helped him achieve that relaxed state.
15:04 when you say Jake sully starts training a war party, that part is in the the high ground comic?
It’s explained in the comic that he’s been training them for 7 years.
Im watching this b4 seeing the film, just hadn't had time yet, but im itching to see it 😁
You’re gonna really love the film! Enjoy!
I went to see way of water and after I went home I rewatched the first once a solid 6 times, every time you watch it you pick up on something new. I’m waiting too watch way of water again.
Wow that’s a lot haha. Hope you see the new film again soon.
Fun fact for all you non gamers out there: The new avatar game "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora", The developers worked closely with James Cameron's production company Lightstorm Entertainment to make sure everything in the game was correct according to all the pre established lore. They wanted to do that so they can make it cannon and maybe even reference it in future movies. The game takes place during the same time period as the second movie, The way of water. pretty cool if you ask me.
I've been playing the game recently and if you listen to random Na'vi that are just out there doing there thing and having conversations they say some pretty interesting stuff. I overheard an older Na'vi telling a story to a younger one about a war between two Na'vi clans.
Do more pls 🥺
We have plenty of timeline content on the channel, if you’re interested. This is just our first Avatar video.
I don't know why but after every movie I watch , I need to see videos talking about it to understand more
You want to experience what more the fictional worlds have to offer. I’m the same way.
I have already watch the movie Avatar 02 in 3D and it was the best way to watch it
In my opinion, if you don’t see it in 3D, you’re missing half of the movie.
I'm watching this after seeing Avatar: The Way of Water
Loved the way of water
Such a great movie!
After and I can say I enjoyed it, the 3 hr span flew by until the last battle
I know! I can’t believe how captivated I was.
This was great
went to see the way of water last weekend.. was awesome, even my wife typed in finnish her gratitudes to their FB page
That’s amazing! I’m glad to hear you both liked it so much!
Can your next video please be a DC Extended Universe timeline talking about Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Zack Snyder's Justice League, Aquaman, Shazam!, Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker and Black Adam, and then when the next four movies Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom come out next year add them?
I definitely want to update it soon.
Yes!!
Yes!!
the day i went to avatar way of water i first watched this one expdended and hour later iwent to the cinema and the watched the 2d one its wonderfull to see both after eachother up to the next one now 6 hours watching before 3 hours in the cinema
That sounds like an epic 6 hours of cinema my dude.
I did it with lotr/hobbit.lotrthering game of Thrones. Starwars. Marvel. Dc.jurassic park/world
And the godzillamovies
Everytime a new season or movie came out i watched what came before
I can it a full story adventure
And it really fits
Only ring of power series
And starwas the sequals suck ass
@@Geekritique you dont wanne know how much i have watched those series and movies
thing i did game of thrones 8 doesnt exist for me and i made my own papered version of dany and jon 1 in the north as king of winterfell and dany the queen of the seven
cerci she is in prison on the see protected by dragons to let her see everything
jamie has his honor back
and huron died by his family
and the knight king died by a verry awesome sword fight with jon snow at the wall
instead of attacking they prepared because when bran came back he brought a elf to show and explain everything
no starnge ending bran doesnt become king he became a advisor
We will see the Avatar
How does the six years it takes to get to Pandora fit into the timeline? If Tom has a PhD (4-6 years) and has already trained for the Avatar program (3 years though could be at the time time as phd) yet Jake is 22 at the time of the film. Or is the 6 years in cryo not counted into Jakes age?
Jake still ages in cryo, which is likely why they can’t put babies in cryo.
Watching it in prep
Enjoy!
I didn’t even know there were comics of avatar 🤯🤯
And they’re pretty good too!
im glad i had to hear 6 minutes worth of things that werent actually relevant
I’m glad too. It’s important for any timeline to succinctly address the canonicity of titles, even if they do add to the lore and history of a franchise.
I just watched the way of water today then this video randomly seen this video on my main screen on CZcams
Well I’m very glad you’ve found my video!
ngl im very excited to see how the conflict continues annd ends so the events of Pandora: The World of Avatar happend a century later..........idk...its nice to know at the end of everything that happend,there was a happy ending to all of this.
That’s if the Avatar land is even canon, it’s hard to say.
Saw it yesterday
Hope you liked it!
I'm watching this after The Way of Water because I want to fully understand Pandora, I do have a lot of knowledge on it as I watched a similar video to this before watching The Way of Water!
Hopefully this helped you out!
Woh woh.woh stop for a second you mean that the lore of pandora goes back 3,000 years ago damn
Yup! It’s quite deep!
I was surprised they finally gave us "the Time of the First Songs", which was just a line by Neytiri in the first film. I had guessed it was going to be a few thousand years ago, and turned out to be right, but it could also have been way further back.
For additional info, the Omatikaya lived in their specific Hometree for 20 000 years before it was destroyed (or at least the tree was that old), and Na'vi as a species (or genus?) are supposed to be 12 million years old, which I suppose is how they have been able to evolve into such different shapes, adapted for different environments. They still maintain the same language though, because of their connection to Eywa, or passing on their stories in song.
More interesting watching this than actually watching the movies tbh
Well I hope it gives everyone a greater appreciation for the films.
