First look at Na'vi Animatronics?

[Lucky]

Heading to bed, but for your benefit I'll have my friend Ateyo the Na'vi type something. I'll put it in quotes so you know he's typing.
"Hey. Ateyo the Na'vi here. How is everybody doing?"
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Mr. Doubt Everything Pants.

It would be more convincing if you had Ateyo sing the Na'vi theme song for us.

I don't believe you.

I had Ateyo take a selfie.

They've got really long, bendable arms.

Ah. Well then, I totally believe you then.

No prob. You set a high "evidence" bar and the fact I was able to meet your demands in spectacular fashion (if I do say so myself) should give me message board credibility out the ying yang.

Ummmmm....those are actual Na'vi. I ate dinner with them a few weeks ago. During the day they are wearing those lightbulb covered suits so Disney can make some Na'vi robotrons (step up from animatronics) at their leisure and have them move realistically. It turns out this is cheaper than hiring Na'vi since they are unionized.

Don't be stupid. They're Na'vi Avatar hosts, not actual Na'vi. Some people will believe anything.

What's in the right one's hand? Poorly disguised camera? UAV? Handbag?

Assuming you mean the screen grab, yeah looks like a camera or lighting. Maybe they were trying to get multiple angles of footage and didn't properly zoom/crop/stage when they should have?

Is that... lil wayne?

 

[George]

Is that... lil wayne?

I did some research to see where that screen grab came from and indeed, it is lil wayne. Good celebrity eye if I do say so. I should note this doesn't change my claim that Ateyo is real.
