Am I the only one who saw the potential for some serious psychological horror with Jake's mental transformation in James Cameron's Avatar?

I mean, seriously, what if the reason for his deep, mental change wasn't some 'enlightenment' but rather a result of the inbuilt instincts/chemistry of the body he was inhabiting? If that were the case, what the story really is, is a man slowly having his personal and cultural identity replaced with that of an alien; am I the only one freaked out by that?

Oddly enough, my grandmother brought that up to me while we were watching it. She totally started screeching about it in the car. So, I guess you arne't alone.

I feel like the only one who hasn't seen this movie yet...mostly so I can remain unbiased. x) BUT, I mean, I guess movie logic doesn't even have to follow these rules?

I haven't seen it either. :P

I think it's fascinating and kind of awesome.

But then again I've always had a thing for mindset-changes coming with bodily-changes.

My brain is usually in the "off" position when watching movies like Avatar.

it takes away all the magic then. maybe all otherkin theriantropes should look at it that way? or no? some of them want to reclaim what was lost (or something)
