James Cameron Discusses Na’vi Boobs
It never occurred to me that this was an issue, but apparently, some people are annoyed that the Na’vi have boobs, because technically the Na’vi aren’t mammals and therefore shouldn’t possess mammaries. This whole quasi-controversy falls roughly under the heading of Stuff Know-it-All Geeks Whine About on IMDb Because What Else Are They Going to Fill Their Empty Hours With?, but nevertheless, James Cameron felt compelled to address it. Speaking to James Lipton and his audience of film school students on a soon-to-be-aired Inside the Actors Studio, Cameron said the following about Na’vi boobage and why it exists:
Because this is a movie for human people.
That’s a much better answer than the one I might’ve expected. You know, something along the lines of, “Well, you see, the Na’vi are actually descended from blahblahblah so the breasts are really vestigial blahblahblah and they still serve a decorative blahblahblah function…” Thank you James Cameron for not insulting us by making up some crap just to placate the five nitwits who think this matters. “People like boobs so we gave the Na’vi boobs” is more than sufficient.

Why even pretend then? Why not just throw some regular actors in with blue face paint?
I think it doesn’t matter??
Since the movie was full of stuff that didn’t make sense why should boobs be alloted a dose of reality? Movie was bad no matter how small or many the breasts were.
But if Avatar was bad no matter what, why even bother complaining?
Because what else is he going to fill his empty hours with other than complaining?
Evolution has often recreated the same basic thing multiple times, and just because something has the same overall shape/placement of something else, it doesn’t mean they serve the same function.
So those nitwits assuming the breast like objects on the Na’vi females are actually mammory glands are just being annoying.
But yes, I’d completely go with an interpretation of what Cameron said, It’s a movie for humans [and such common visual cues make it easier for the audience to relate].
Well, the man is right.
ohhhhh! i thought they were there so i could jack off to them in the theater. boy do i feel silly now about ruining the back of that chair… and that man’s hat.
was I the oly one who was expecting ANG as the Last Air bender? cause hat is what I was expecting…. Ohhh well.
my son thought it was violent. good one, how things are changing.
its a movie made by a man made for men. women or sexless scifi geeks or homos,who cares what they want.
that should have been the answer.
made for humans…yeah right. I wanted to see some good nine foot stud bulge
Right of course, nothing in film has to make sense as long as it looks good and satisfies the lowest common denominator of brain activity. That’s what great filmmaking is all about. Don’t make us think, for fuck’s sake. Just make us drool, that’s what we’re best at.
My wife was more concerned with the paralyzed guy. She was curious if they guy wasnt really paralyzed how they got his legs to look so small. I said after watching that whole entire movie you wonder how they did that?
It would have been easier to state they are a bio-electric connector for networking during their sexual activities, similar to the tails.
What a stupid article, and your commentary is stupid, too. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a hater, you’re just a bit.. stupid.
i love how people hate on avatar just to stand out. so many people have the “i’m sooo much smrter than u because i don’t like this movie” attitude.
you can’t nitpick about stuff like this in science fiction. its science fiction. its about made up or exaggerated science. i wish some people would do the same to star wars or trek. those movies have some shitty science.
Michelle Rodriguez was rather perky in Avatar…
mmmmm boobs
Soooo, this made me think. To me the na’vi looked like a cross between humanoid and cat…(oid?). So therefore, they can have breasts.
Which reminded me of this…
“I have nipples, can you milk me fokker?”

Dude, My wife, I swear, said the same exact thing. Very clever retort, bravo. Wish I had thought of it.
I think everything should have TITS!!!!!
I might have missed it, but when did Cameron, or any of the source material, actually say that the Na’vi cannot be mammals, or at least share some traits with them?
Doesn’t the na’vis have very thick skins? That’s gotta be rock hard!
When did people start taking movies seriously? Movies are for entertainment. They’re not documentaries, which sometimes aren’t factually accurate, unfortunately. Anyway, it’s a freaking movie so enjoy it or STFU.
