You forgot to mention the big planetary sized elephant in the room, and that is Eywa. We could speculate based on the info given by Grace in the movies and through what ways the Navi connect with Eywa that the giant super organism is one of the earliest liforms of the moon, most likely the first. Plantlike or fungal in nature, it kept its billions of years network by integrating itself with other evolving wildlife (which possibly evolved from them), who came to depend on the neural network system for survival. Interesting enough, not all plantlife is able to directly link with animal life (though they still keep connections with each other and other surrounding plantlife through the roots while they feel the animals through sensory ways), mostly select few species such as the Tree of Souls and Voices, including the underwater Tree of Souls have the ability to directly link with Animalia of Pandora. This can also mean that this giant super organism is able to guide, instruct, and influence evolutionary destinies of all organisms on the moon, as seen with the immune response in both movies and how certain seeds guide the Navi (which are in tune with Eywa´s will) at specific critical moments.
It is also interesting that Eywa would instruct the Navi not to dig up the rocks from the ground, not make wheels, or make metal tools, as all three of these laws are there to protect Eywa´s neural network from being destroyed, as well as keep the Unobtainium where it is, indicating that the element is critical for the neural network to function. In areas where the flux vortex is the strongest (likely the largest concentration of unobtanium), we see those specially evolved plantlife where Navi directly link with Eywa. A deleted scene even showed Jake´s initiation into the Omatikaya and Eywa neural network in its fractal spiritual glory, indicating its a higher form of intelligent life above the humans, Navi and Tulkun.
A bit of a story theory on where the series will go. I believe that the plant or fungal species that makes Eywa will be transferred to Earth (which had most of its natural wildlife destroyed, aka they killed their mother) to reignite/reincarnate its natural ecosystem and prevent the ecological disaster humanity is facing. Seeing how Eywa stores all the knowledge of all the life that existed on the moon Pandora, it could be used as a form of Noah´s ark of immense biological data that will speed up the evolutionary processes and adaptations needed to jumpstart the wildlife on Earth. Humans could also aid in this venture, since they have shown advanced knowledge and capabilities in the fields of biology along with mass replication tech as seen in the second movie´s base being made so quickly. Plus humans dont need Pandoran Unobtanium to make their own, RDA just squashed anyone who attempted in making artificial sources of the element in the past to keep their monopoly over the resource, so the artificial unobtanium humans make could be used to aid this new Earth Eywa neural network. They could also incorporate spiritualism into it and have both Earth and Pandora connect through the vast distances through a cosmic consciousness, which takes inspiration from eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism from which we got the concept of an Avatar that this movie is heavily based on (through the forms of the hybrid Avatar/recom projects, along with individuals like Kiri).

Brutalism has a very specific design philosophy and intent, and even political approach in how buildings are constructed. In Brutalism, while you would have utilitarian aspects in their desgins, a lot of buildings experimented with shapes, textures, and layouts, so much so that some Brutalist buildings can look truly futuristic, geometric, downright beautiful. Some even incorporate greenery both on the building and around it through public green spaces. Brutalist builings also tend to be imposing, greater than the person observing them, concrete monuments of engineering. They are also distinct decade differences and differences between countries Brutalist buildings, but all sharing the common core principals of design. Mostly used for apartment blocks and secular buildings, not for individual homes as concrete used for individual homes tends to stray more towards other modernism architectural styles instead. Okinawan homes look more like eclectic or vernacular mish mash of different things, not exactly adhering to Brutalist design philosophy. To me Japan never really had brutalist buildings, going more for its own concrete building styles like Metabolism, and these vernacular styles seen in Okinawa and many other across Japan.

Wish you showed more of Eastern European and Southern European cities. Poland, Croatia, and Greece are nice and all, but I wish you represented Slovakia, Serbia, Slovenia, Czechia, Hungary, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. You primarily focus on Western Europe and a couple of popular tourist hot spots, but thats about it, even though there are also so many great examples in Eastern Europe.

@mindstalk No, Japan has little to no bike infrastructure, not unlike The Netherlands, largely due to his loose zoning laws, and pedestrian walkways double as car roads, which wouldnt pass in the US, especially not in the most crucial transitional period. Also American cities use to be like European ones before the car craze, with rail infrastructure and all, so naturally they should gravitate to what they once were. Many city areas still retain their historical city centers, zoning, and layout. Should expand that city design to other areas that were ruined by car infrastructure and car centric planning instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with an equally extreme city planing design from East Asian countries.

@entropybear5847 They have way better propaganda media and way more of an audience (at least on these English social media sites) that will believe their propaganda. Judging by all the US apologists in these comments, it unfortunately works. Its really sad to see anyone shill for large empires, no matter if its China, Russia, or the US. All of them need to be called out for their hypocrisy and all need to have consequences for their actions...sadly not all are treated the same in international law, some get away with more than others. US getting away with so much is why other empires want to do the same, hence why China uses the same corruption tactics the US does.
Everyone needs to follow the rules, otherwise the rules are meaningless, which currently they are. Rules are only there to police the weaker nations and is only enforced for them, empires bypass the rules through political, economic, and media manipulations.

Its kinda hilarious that you make the assumption that Western nations decolonized in modern times, when in fact they have altered the way colonization is done, or have simply used media censorship to their advantage. Economic dependency, installation of puppet governments, political and military interventions, resource control, media manipulation. In every way possible, the west has continued its colonial threat, just not how it was done in the centuries prior with directly upfront proclamations of colonies, but with more insidious methods. I mean for goodness sakes you cant just look at the US and think the policemen of the world has no colonial aspirations, every war they start is because of grabbing resources and control of territory, or to spread their ideology.
