I swear, 90% of the deleted scenes would’ve improved the understanding of the plot SO MUCH.

"they don't even have a word for lie, they had to learn it from us" this hit different

This scene actually shows the level of conflict that Jake is undergoing within himself. The final version did show that Jake was conflicted about his loyalties, but this scene shows the depth of Jake's suffering

6:44 I think it's very interesting that the beginning of Jake's vision is very similar to what Kiri described as "feeling Eywa's heartbeat everywhere", and that's why Jake immediately understood when she told him about it. Kiri has a special connection to Eywa so she must have the ability to sense this exact same thing all the time without using psychedelics or a ritual.

Imagine how trippy this scene would have been had it been fully animated 😳😬

"You can never truly be with her." Hits home when Grace makes him and us remember the reality of the situation he is in. Shame this was cut.

The character depth of Grace is simply amazing. She knew that Jake was being controlled by Quaritch, yet she gave him a chance, as she knew that he would change and turn a new leaf. She even realized that Jake had changed for the better.

James Cameron really went “nah we gotta pull it. This shit’s too weird for the big screen”. This is some next level trip

"What the hell were you smoking out there!".. well, we got the answer. A worm

They need to seriously do another cut of the movie containing the majority of the deleted scenes. A lot of movies have deleted scenes that make you go "oh, I totally get why they would cut that", but here they're so fucking great and add so much more depth to the story. I guess it just came down to runtime. But goddamn, we need a new cut. Start a fucking campaign.

Woah.. Jake just said they didnt even have a word for "lie".. No wonder neytiri takes it so hard when she knew Jake had known the entire time..

I need the 4 hour cut of the movie

"You can never truly be with her." People, that broke me down even knowing he CAN be with her afterwards.

I think this scene would have been somewhat important in the film's storyline, because Neytiri said earlier "There has been a sign!" and Jake much later said "You chose me for something"... I think that the "sign" was that Jake had became without his or anybody's knowledge Eywa's pawn, and that the vision was Jake's destiny and the very reason why Eywa had chosen him.

I love how in these deleted scenes, you can hear bits of Sam Worthington's australian accent where he didn't get the american one quite right and they havent dubbed over it yet cause it didnt get produced to final cut

I think there was some important dialog here. One thing that always bothered me about the movie was how Jake revealed his true purpose to the tribe and Netiri. It just seems as his character arced, he would not have dropped a huge bomb like that at that moment and this deleted scene shows his struggle with that secret.

To all which don’t know what’s going on then I’ll explain. To be one of them, you’ll have to success the Uniltaron (Dreamhunt) It’s a very important spiritual ceremony to the Omarikaya-clan. There is a individual travel and a common event. The common event is what we see here, it starts with the person which wants to join are being brought to a holy place by the clan members. The person are going to take too psychoactive poisons, eating a glowing worm from the tree and getting a sting from the Arachnoide (scorpion). As the sting hits , you get massive pain and you’re nearly dying. While the body’s in pain you’re slowly dividing into “dreaming” If the person survives the traumatic experience, the person shall report about the details of the vision. Which thinks could contain prophetic wisdom of Eywa. A part of rebirth as adult, the vision gets re-enacted and celebrated by the community with food and dance. I hope you somehow understood this, I am after all translating from my book.😂

Another lovely detail about this scene is the fact that Grace helps him with his legs when he's getting ready to drive his avatar, something which he did not accept at first given his pride. It had been years since I've watched this movie, and though I remembered it for the awe-inspiring visuals the story didn't exactly come across as a fully realized epic. However, there are so many little details included in the deleted scenes that make it a better movie in all regards. Grace's relationship with her students, Neytiri's sister, Jake's inner conflict (which in the theatrical cut was dealt with in a hurry), Norm's initial jealousy, and a million things about Na'vi culture that just add to the experience. I hope that in the next movie, James Cameron can incorporate a full storyline without trying to make a crowd-pleasing edit. Audiences should not get bored that easily, especially when all these tiny details make for a memorable plot and film.

The lighting used on Jake making half his face blue. Intentional symbolism, he's caught between worlds.

I would've loved to see this fully rendered

Bro what, why would they cut this? It adds so my depth to Grace and Jake's character. Forget runtime the people wants more stuff like this!!!

I love how much loyalty Norm has that he just continues to start up the machinery and when Jake tells them the truth he doesn’t get angry at him

The magic trip was too much for the audiences. Let's hope the next 2 Avatar films will be more brave to show it !

It’s a shame that this scene didn’t make the final cut. I think it is the perfect context and reason behind jake even considering to make the bond with the toruk makto. This scene infatuates the struggle inside jake, the realness of eywa and its connection to everything.

this could have been Doctor Strange levels of trippy and awesome. but for now it’s just nightmare fuel.

I feel that shows more about grace than we expected, she put a wall between her and Pandora because she knew she's dependent of the technology to be there so she never truly connected with Eywa and the na'vi afraid of being separated again.

My favorite takeaway form this scene is grace helping his legs into the pod when previously he didn’t want her help to show their conflicting missions.

as a lover of anything na’vi or pandora related, this scene absolutely should’ve been in the final cut. dream hunt is such a big part of their culture because every na’vi has to go through the ceremony to be seen as an adult in the tribe. it’s literally a rite of passage for them. what’s even more upsetting is the fact that james cameron really wanted to add this because he knew it was important. even then they still didn’t add it because it was predicted viewers would be more interested in scenery and battle scenes.

Watching these deleted videos, I realize that the most important parts of the story where Jake turns from spy to joining the Navi, his explorations of Pandora, his change of mind, his conflicts during his change of mind, are all cut out from the movie. Obviously, the world of Pandora cannot be explored in one movie. Hopefully the 3 sequels will go all in. I hope at least this deleted scene is fully rendered and released on KZfaq in HD.

It's here we're he sees but doesn't realize it's his destiny to be Toruk Makto. Only through that can he regain some trust and lead the omatikcaya

This scene shows Jake’s desire to want to become a man. Not just a man, but truly a good man. It lines up with Jake’s narration at the beginning where he talks about why he became a marine.

This scene adds so much depth. The irony and the worse on worse decisions to be made. It shows the things jake has to go through.

Why. Didn’t. They. Keep. This. Momentous. Moment. ✨

I kinda wished they had kept this scene in the actual film, makes it much more better with this scene included. Plus some of his visions are also prophetic signs of what is to come later in the film. For example: 1.) His encounter with the _Toruk_ banshee; later he becomes _Toruk Macto_ (Rider of Last Shadow), and leads all the Navi clans to battle and defeat the Sky People. 2.) The ash-filled decimated forest, an omen of what might become of Pandora's forestry if the Sky People actually manages to succeed in defeating the Na'vi (which thankfully they don't).

“You never can truly be with her.” My heart

I want James Cameron to return to this movie and fill in all the cgi blanks. I want the ultimate cut. These things take time, of course. I'll be patient.

They should finish the deleted scenes and add them back in. It adds so much depth and understanding about these characters.

Im sobbing over this being taken from the final version These deleted scenes destroyed jake, norm, and grace Also the part at 7:10 where we see his astral projection get into a meditative stance then it cuts back to reality (him writhing on the floor in agony) is incredibly powerful.

this scene is something else. Imagine being high watching this. Must be the trip of your life

The world was not yet ready to see something like this in 2009, with psychedelics being criminalized and all the puritanical stigma we have around psychedelics. Imagine if they had included this scene in the highest grossing movie of all time. Oh, I like the Michael Stearns music too. Interesting selection of placeholder.

This scene clearly shows that he was destined to be Toruk Makto, and it was Eywa herself who chose him, and not just his hubris as it can be (and is) interpreted by others in the final cut.

I get wanting to cut yet another trial for Jake, but the opening stuff with Grace is pretty good. Sigourney Weaver is so good, it's a shame to lose any scenes with her.

we need the 4 hour version.

knowing that Neteyam had also gone through all of the rite of passages yet Lo’ak will never complete his seriously breaks my heart. And then there’s Tuktirey who will never have the chance of choosing if she wants to be a hunter like her parents as she’ll fully grown into a different culture than hers. I love the metkayina and discovering other cultures yet I want them to shine in their element so much.

"I'll be okay, Mo'at says an alien mind won't survive anyway" crying

i would pay so much money to see this fully rendered😭

Why was this deleted? It’s such a good scene. It really shows how much he’s trying to cope and the struggle of being human in this world. He doesn’t understand this is all fake and he’s still on a mission to screw over the people in the village.

If this was added on the final version, this would add more meaning and thrill. But the editing was very good.

I bet James Cameron has tried Ayahuasca once!

It's said that the Dream Hunt is supposed to make a na'vi find their spirit animal. Jake's shown was Toruk, the last shadow, who he used later to fight against the humans. Very smart

Aaand, CUT! This is IT. Jake is experiencing full disassociation with his own race; that moment is the tipping point, realization; for him to bind himself to People, he needs to cut himself from humanity. We are just too different to work out together. One can only hope he doesn't forget lessons of humanity in his new life as Na'vi...

Man cannot keep an american accent for more than 5 minutes.

2:21 At the end of the movie, he did become one of them

I love how this sets up why the huge flying thing (I forget the name) actually accepts him...provides needed context...in the theatrical and directors cut we get an explanation as to why Jake wants to tame it but nothing about why it let him...

They should've included this. There's a lot of weight to this scene.

God, I am so in love this this world and this movies.

Yeah, this is a bit much...still I’d definitely want to watch the full version of this movie.

Jake seeing Eywa's heartbeat going through the roots of all the trees would of been amazing.

Jakes DMT trip with the Na’Vi at the base roots of home tree, leading to “meeting” of Eywa and visions of his future is something I never knew I wanted before but now I need it fully animated

This is the only one of these deleted scenes where I wish I could see the final version with special effects finished. All the others its easy to imagine what they would have looked like but the trippy imagery in this could be a sight to see.

He literally had a spiritual awakening 🏃‍♀️

I know this scene is popular, but it's actually an ingenious cut, especially with Jake revealing to Grace and Norm that Quaritch sent him. In every fully rendered cut of the movie, there's never any reason to believe the two of them have any idea about what the reason they're out there is. Jake giving information to Quaritch seems pretty on the record with them; only the Na'vi learning about it is a real reveal. Dramatically, this changes precisely nothing and its removal takes 9 minutes off the runtime. Kinda brilliant, really.

This scene absolutely should not have been cut from the movie. Yeah, I get that run time is a thing, and it was already long. But this scene was important. In his determination to follow through with this ritual, even knowing fully well that he could have died trying, Jake showed where he truly felt he belonged by that point in the plot.

This scene was so damn trippy it would have been awesome fully finished😄

Remember kids never do drugs

The world wasn't ready at the time.

Broooo. She even helps his legs in this scene. Aaaahh! I love it!

The music near the end is "Mantra Organics", from the soundtrack of "Baraka", composed by Michael Stearns and Somei Satoh.

After rewatching the movie again they cut alot of parts it felt REALLY rushed. I'm glad the next one is gonna be 3 hours long

Dam so I watched the end of this video and saw all the burned and destroyed trees. So Jake had a precognitive vision of the destruction of Home Tree? Makes sense to me I mean in the Avatar game they confirm that psychic powers do exist.

This shit fully produced, in 3d, on herbs... i can't even...

They need to finish what they started and fully render ALL these deleted scenes! Then put them on a special disc for all to see!

“You can never truly be with her” I don’t know about that, Grace

imagine TRIPPING on extraterrestrial stuff ON TOP of being in an alien body. truly must be the most insane trip a human could EVER experience

I've say this too many times, This Movie Shouldn't have Scenes that deleted..... Every frame is a masterpiece....

So, he gets stung and then imagines himself being sucked into a Tool video?! 😂

Absolutely should have kept this in.

This scene probably would’ve been extremely important

I remember reading about the Dream Hunt in one of the Lore Handbooks, but I never realized they made a scene for it.

What an incredible scene this would have been if fully realized I would have loved to have seen what this could have been if they had finished it and kept it in the final film

Damn that worm was huge. This scene was interesting, I am curious how it would've looked in a polished state.

I can't believe they left this put of the film

God I wish this was still in the movie, this is the best acting I’ve seen from Sam in this movie.

this would have truly blown the lid off the f***in movie and sent it into the realm of the unforgettable.

I would live to see more of this in future Avatar movies maybe even have something like an astral plane shown in future films. It would be amazing to learn in future Avatar movies that something like Eywa existed on Earth.

This adds WAY more depth to the mystical aspect of pandora that grace was speaking off. I watched the extended cut and none of this is in it.

All the deleted scenes and the extended edition scenes makes it feel like a whole other movie

I hope that one day we are able to watch a fill edit of the film that is James full vision of the story he wants to tell without the cuts

I disagree with a lot of people here surprisingly. Avatar is my favorite movie and I've seen it well over 50 times. 1) The initial scene with Grace, Norm, and Jake definitely should have been included. With some restructuring, they could have had this scene go before the part where Jake officially becomes a part of the Omatikaya people. 2) The drug trip scene, while nice, would have given too much away about what was to come. The tree will come down and Jake will ride Toruk. The audience will know exactly where the story goes. Maybe if they would have taken out the future stuff and only shown Jake how interconnected this planet is, then this scene would have been great, especially the visuals. 3) On top of the drug trip scene, I think this particular scene is going too close to stereotypical native vision quest that the white guy experiences. We all know how much criticism there already is for this movie in that regards.

The fan editors would’ve went crazy in this scene…

I wonder if James Cameron ever went on an Ayahuasca trip in the Amazon before he wrote this.

I wish this was left in.

That would have been crazy awesome If they added this.

Some of these deleted scene were very much needed

Lol this man has ascended

This scene should DEFINITELY have been in the movie ''They don't have a word for 'lie' ''

This scene is so cool by the way! I wish they had kept it…It also would have helped us to show Jake what his true destiny is and how he needs to bond with Turok to save the other Navi! Note-I have seen this deleted scene written out in some Avatar fanfiction…

What is most interesting about this scene is how Toruk is Jake's spirit animal. The dream hunt shows a Na'vi's spirit animal and Jake over here got Toruk!

These deleted scenes are all amazing - they add so much tension and worldbuilding… they need a 5 hour cut or something of this damned movie - If they asked im sure alot of people would be intrigued enough to help financially support it - i know I WOULD omgg

Wow even though this was sadly never finished im happy to at least seen and know it existed now this makes some parts and character actions in the movie have so much more context 🤧
