Instead, I just want to say that the best caricature in Avatar has to be Colonel Miles Quaritch. Almost every time he appeared on the 3-D silver screen, I either laughed or shook my head at his clichéd one-liners and screen presence. The actor, Stephen Lang, gave a great performance … “of the, uh, Jarhead clan”.
Colonel Miles Quaritch is such a caricature that the images of Major Chip Hazard from Small Soldiers, and Duke Nukem were brought to mind.

Whilst searching for images from Avatar, I also noticed some of the toy action figures. At first glance, I realized they were not to scale since the alien Na’vi are supposed to be three metres tall. So unless Colonel Miles Quaritch was a towering Jarhead surpassing NBA proportions, I guess the action figures are just made for ease of packaging!

I love these new avatar action figures. Especially the new cards and i-tag technology. Have you tried it. You should. The post is dead on, very similar between quatrich and the toy soldiers character. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks AAFF! I'm afraid I have not had the pleasure of playing with these new avatar action figures! Looking forward to the prequel of Avatar since there must surely be more military caricatures. ;-)
