In the latest Avatar movie, Fire and Ash, Colonel Miles Quaritch starts out as a major enemy of Pandora. He works for the humans, called the Sky People, who want to take the planet’s valuable resources like unobtanium. Quaritch leads attacks, burns Na’vi villages, hunts sea creatures called Tulkuns, and teams up with a fierce Na’vi leader named Varang from the Ash People or Fire clan.https://www.primetimer.com/features/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained-is-pandora-savedhttps://www.techradar.com/streaming/entertainment/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained
Varang worships fire and war. Her clan lives in Pandora’s forests and follows harsh customs. She hates the Sully family, led by Jake and Neytiri, because the planet’s spiritual force, Eywa, rejects her people. Quaritch gives her guns and teaches her clan how to use them. Together, they fight the Na’vi to capture Jake and destroy other clans.https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/film/a69807601/avatar-fire-and-ash-primer/https://www.pluggedin.com/movie-reviews/avatar-fire-and-ash-2025/
At first, they seem unbeatable. Quaritch has advanced weapons, and Varang uses fire powers. They capture Jake, who surrenders to save his friends in the Metkayina sea clan. Spider, Quaritch’s biological son who grew up with the Na’vi, gets taken too. Spider almost dies without his oxygen mask, but Kiri uses her special connection to Eywa to save him and let him breathe Pandora’s air on his own.https://www.primetimer.com/features/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained-is-pandora-savedhttps://www.techradar.com/streaming/entertainment/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained
The big final battle brings all Na’vi clans together, plus sea creatures like Tulkuns. Jake fights Quaritch hand-to-hand. Varang kills Ronal, the Metkayina leader, but Ronal gives birth to a baby girl first and asks Neytiri to protect her. Many humans die, including leaders like General Ardmore.https://comicbookmovie.com/sci_fi/avatar/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained-will-jake-neytiri-and-quaritch-return-in-avatar-4—spoilers-a225604
Then something changes for Quaritch. Now in a full Na’vi body, he jumps in to save Spider from danger during the fight. The Sullys aim at him, but he leaps off a cliff or into a fiery volcano. No one sees his body, so his fate stays a mystery. Jake had even told him earlier he could leave his old human hate behind and see Pandora with new eyes.https://www.primetimer.com/features/avatar-fire-and-ash-ending-explained-is-pandora-savedhttps://www.pluggedin.com/movie-reviews/avatar-fire-and-ash-2025/
Pandora looks safe for now, with Na’vi united and humans gone. But Quaritch’s unclear end hints he might come back to cause more trouble or maybe even switch sides.https://www.thereviewgeek.com/avatar-fireandash-endingexplained/
