General Ardmore appears to have been gender-swapped during the film’s lengthy production process.
In the image above, the original design for the villain depicts Ardmore as male.
The book notes that the outpost is"permanent"and entirely utilitarian.
It’s designed to"cover large tracts of real estate"across Pandora to intimidate the Na’vi.
This artificial metropolis is a visible contrast to how the Na’vi value nature and the natural environment.
Ben Procter says its geographical and functional footprint is entirely utilitarian.
Procter says of its design, Bridgeheads purpose is that of being a construction site.
And its all about humanity implying theyre building a whole new city practically overnight.
A sort of Eff you, Eywa.
Marvel is one such franchise making this change to help increase female representation in film and television.
There are a plethora of characters who have been gender-swapped.
Infamously, Tilda Swinton’s role inDoctor Strangetraditionally belonged to an Asian male.
The studio initially thought they were cutting edge in avoiding Asian stereotypes butlater realized it had whitewashed the character.
However, gender-swapping can be done well, and Marvel has had a lot of success.
The studio has gone a considerable way into breaking gender stereotypes and dismantling gender roles in the entertainment industry.
According to writer Neil Gaiman, this change brought a"sense of balance"to the series.
Avatar: The Way of the Wateris now playing in cinemas worldwide.
