Is Quaritch Still Loyal to the RDA?
Colonel Miles Quaritch, the tough human colonel turned Na’vi recombinant in the Avatar movies, has always been a key fighter for the RDA. This big company wants to take control of Pandora for its rare resources like unobtanium. In the first Avatar film from 2009, Quaritch worked hard as a military leader to help the RDA colonize the planet. He died in battle, but James Cameron brought him back in later films as a powerful Na’vi body called a recombinant.https://www.aol.com/articles/avatar-star-stephen-lang-quaritch-180000526.html
In Avatar: The Way of Water, Quaritch keeps pushing the RDA’s goals. General Ardmore tells him Earth is dying, so their job is to tame Pandora and make it a new home for humans. They must fight the Na’vi first to clear the way.https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/avatar-fire-and-ash-the-way-of-waters-ending-recap Quaritch leads attacks on Jake Sully’s family, showing his strong drive to win for the RDA, even as his son Spider starts to question things after saving his life.
The newest movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, picks up right there. Quaritch stays loyal to the RDA. He works with them to keep exploiting Pandora’s resources, no matter the losses they faced before. At the same time, he tries to bring his son Spider closer, keeping him under his watch.https://www.cinemovie.tv/index.php/new-series-and-movie-reviews/review-avatar-fire-and-ash-come-for-the-spectacle-not-the-story The RDA pushes harder, with bigger plans to control the planet.
A new Na’vi leader named Varang from the Ash People changes things a bit. She is fierce and teams up with Quaritch against the Sully family. Varang leads her group after a big disaster turned their land to ash. She worships fire and destruction, which fits Quaritch’s style of burning through enemies to finish his mission. They clash in fun ways, but Quaritch does not turn against the RDA. He joins forces with her group while sticking to his RDA orders.https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/avatar-fire-and-ash-the-way-of-waters-ending-recaphttps://www.cinemovie.tv/index.php/new-series-and-movie-reviews/review-avatar-fire-and-ash-come-for-the-spectacle-not-the-story
Quaritch’s main drive comes from his soldier past and the RDA’s big picture for humanity. His bond with Spider adds some personal pull, but it does not break his loyalty. He sees Spider’s mixed feelings, yet keeps fighting for the company that brought him back.
