What I like about Quaritch as a character, is that if you’re on his good side he will give you the respect you deserve if you’ve earned it and will stay true to his word if he promises to reward you for your hard work. But if you are against him, he becomes your worst nightmare and will go through extreme measures to make sure you are eliminated and make your life a living hell!
It’s the military mindset, as far as Quaritch is concerned Jake is his brother. One of the few things I’m proud of for serving is the brotherly bond I made with the guys I served with. That never leaves you no matter how hard you try.
Marines are supposed to be tight as brothers....stephen lang mentioned Quarich feel enraged by Jake's betrayal because there's an unspoken code between marines and he broke that.
@@mikasa1279 No you’re absolutely wrong. You simply don’t understand how Marines are when it comes to companionship, even in the real world, it’s almost a sacred aspect in marine culture. Quaritch 100% cared about Jake because of their respective backgrounds and how much potential he saw in him. But when Jake betrayed him, he took it very personally.
To be honest I can see why Quaritch was mad. He just gave Jake his legs back, and Jake gave no fucks whatsoever, he just wanted to stay in the Avatar program.
true, it sounded like the spine surgery was really expensive. he probably called in some favors to get it settled, these rda guys probably werent thrilled to pay for it
I love how when Jake says he's going to the ceremony, Quaritch IMMEDIATELY knows something is up. Jake didn't thank him for getting his surgery approved or even react. Quaritch's face says it all. It looks like a "Is this guy serious? He's gonna walk again and he don't even thank me?"
That’s the thing, there’s this almost sacred pact in marine culture when it comes to companionship. Your fellow man is your brother no matter what, you take care of one another. Marines always watch each other’s backs. Quaritch definitely felt that with Jake given their mutual backgrounds and probably saw so much potential with him, it’s very prevalent in this scene here where Jake turns down the offer and you see and feel the disappointment. So when Jake betrayed him, Quaritch took it very personally because Jake more or less spat on everything about being a marine and what that meant.
2:01 I imagine Quaritch went through a lot of hoops to get Jake his surgery so his reaction sort of says “everything I did for him and that’s the thanks I get”
The colonel went out of his way to get jake his legs back, and the first thing jake says is “there’s one more thing” and completely ignored the fact he will be able to walk and run again. I get jakes motive, I like his character but at the same time you can’t blame the colonel for becoming enemies with jake. He didn’t even thank him and he betrayed humanity, jake could’ve done his duty and tried to get the navi to avoid war, and save their home and live the life he wanted, whilst also helping his own kind.
@@odst1778 I have to disagree. In this scene you can see Jake is in constant conflict over what side to pick. He remembers he's human, but on the other side he sees what amazing, loving beings the Na'vi are and that they don't deserve to have their home being taken away. So to pick the side of the Na'vi while not even belonging to them and to help them defend their home, makes Jake pretty noble and sincere.
@@jamierodgers1467 And what about Earth? as u can see in te movie the earth NEEDS the unobtanium to avoid a collapse and thanks to that moron, decades of work of the RDA to build Hell's gate and the equipment to get Unobtanium were completly destroyed by a bunch of Blue furrys leaded by a traitor to the humanity.
This is a difficult topic to bring to the table.. but I had to come face to face with it myself after experiencing the film and its reflections.. our own very "real" world history,, Avatar is a mirror story on many levels and it does being up "reflectively" some rather big picture deep source code ethical challenges, I am going to bring up two native speakers ,, "Mark Charles" and "Steve Newcomb" as well as The topic "The Doctrine of Discovery" and the Domination code . Avatar touches (Reflectively) on a lot deeper roots then one thinks ,, for something to look at... on youtube " The Search for Jigonsaseh" and its ancient roots.. note some of the names and some of the parallels , Who are the people of Erie nation..sit down and speak of questions of history to one of there elders... also look at the roots of the expression of the Zulu word "Sawubona" and the list goes on hundreds of layers deep ..
This was the moment where Quaritch realized Jake had been compromised. He doesn’t really react or thank him for his arranging to get his spine fixed and is insistent on getting back into his avatar body.
I mean burning down homes of the Navi, killing one of their animals, hunting Tulkun, etc wasting all this money just to kill Jake meanwhile Jake is out of the picture. Continue colonizing Pandora.

It’s a cultural thing in that institution. Jake refusing to take up the surgery or even say thanks was a punch in the gut for Quaritch, evident through Stephen Lang’s brilliant acting. Jake’s betrayal and killing fellow former servicemen was the straw that broke the camels back and basically him spitting on everything on what it meant to be a marine. To Quaritch, it was very, very personal from that point on. Also he wasn’t wasting money in the sequel. Jake is literally the leader of the Na’vi resistance.

@@mariarivadeneira3360 I very VERY much understand him for being obsessed with getting revenge on Jake. Jake betrayed him and his human race! I get why Jake did ehat he did though. But I can understand Quarich just as well
There is such a fun contrast of perspectives .. the colonel sees jake as failing his mission and duty to the human race by dancing around in the avatar program when the human race is on the line but jake obviously sees how beautiful and amazing pandora and the Navi are and just ripping down the tree is an awful thing to do ..
Both Quaritch and Jake show mutual respect to one another since both are former marines Only difference is one is full of honor and compassion as Jake respects ones' culture while the other had a long-running military career was representative, but has thirst of ridding his enemies without a second thought nor acting cooperative to the Na'vi tribes.
The other main difference is one is willing to sell out his species for some bluecat alien muff, the other is willing to cooperate but places his own species first and will aid them to his death.
This scene was done so perfectly. You can really feel the pressure on Jake’s back. He’s got the full weight of a multi-trillion dollar military force on his back, and he’s gotta turn down his own commanders offers right to his face at the last minute. That’s true dedication to a cause. This one little decision he made in this scene was the unseen climax for the entire films story.
Being a human and living in this society is depressing this isn’t how we were made to live and I think Jake is realizing that,it reminds me of real life because it’s the same thing for here
Quaritch wasn't really interested in negotiation through talks, he wanted negotiation through superior firepower and knowing their weaknesses. It's because if you talk to them, you are basically treating them as equals, which he didnt.
They already tried talking to them for decades prior to this, even offered them all kinda of technology, knowledge, and resources in return for what the humans needed. The Navi just went nah.
If I were Jake and were treated like dirt back on Earth, even with the ability to walk again, I’d feel like I didn’t belong there. Jake had fought for his country, so that should have earned him spinal surgery and gain the ability to walk again. WW3 would screw the victors I guess. With Neytiri and Navi, i bet Jake felt he belonged there after he spent enough time training with Neytiri.
damm, from the colonels point of view Jake really was the traitor. He took good care of him, went out of his way to get him surgery just to get backstabbed 😢
Jake gets his strength back and becomes a mercenary for the RDA, shuttles back to pandora for another tour to find our the Colonel wiped out the blue monkeys and quickly takes his side to conquer the rest of the planet and wipe out the rest of the blue scum
Actually, there are times when RDA employees on Pandora return home to Earth for a while and then come back to Pandora. So Jake is just returning to Earth to get his legs back and then return to Pandora to continue being an Avatar Driver.
@@ryankwon8785 The RDA would have to grow a new avatar for Jake since the one he was using would have been killed when hometree was destroyed (Which it would have been anyways if Jake left). If Jake had boarded the shuttle and returned to earth for his surgery, his avatar would have remained lifeless and the na'vi would have been wondering why Jake never woke up.
Like Jake said, "That's how it's done. When people are sitting on shit you want, you make them your enemy. Then you're justified in taking it!" What humans were doing was wrong and Jake grew to realize that. And, if you remember...he told Netiri, "At first it was just orders. Then everything changed. I fell in love__ with the forest, with the Omaticaya people___with you!" Would we not fight to protect our planet if it were invaded? Jake did not protray his kind, he stood up against what was right and wrong. What humans were doing was absolutely 100% wrong! And like someone said in a comment below....Jake was abandoned by his own people. He was a soldier and the government had the means to help him and DIDN'T! Selfridge said it himself.....it was all about the MONEY!

Only for Jake to backstab him
He takes care of his own.
