Is Avatar's main villain about to become a good guy? All the signs are pointing that way
"Quaritch is undergoing an identity crisis, said Cameron. His interest in the biological son of his biological precursor form is all about trying to define, Am I a completely new person? Am I bound by the rules and the behaviours of the person whose memories and personality I was imprinted with?' It's a true existential dilemma for him in the philosophical sense."
"It's a true existential dilemma for him in the philosophical sense. Cameron also asked: At what point does he cross that line and realise he's more Na'vi than he is human? He could connect, he could plug in Jake wants him to. I don't want to tell you where it goes, but we're gonna see all this play out, because Jake would rather have this guy on side."
Colonel Miles Quaritch has been resurrected in a lab-grown Na'vi body and now faces an existential identity crisis. He must reconcile imprint-based memories and behaviours with a newly embodied Na'vi existence and the discovery of a human son named Spider. The recombinant iteration questions whether he is a new person or bound by the predecessor's rules. The possibility of him integrating with Na'vi culture and being recruited by Jake creates tension between past militarism and potential allegiance. Planned future films make character oscillation between heroism and villainy likely, raising audience uncertainty about embracing Quaritch's transformation.
