Stupid could be the wrong word, but not prepared or not smart could work. It would be smart going into an unfamiliar world thinking of every opportunity. I have no idea what could unite all the tribes but I know it could happen. I have no idea the planet would attack me, but I assume dangerous wildlife is dangerous. If I bring enough chemicals to destroy everything around me, I'm good. I would play nice for a few years, attack, and then be done with it. There would be none of that waiting, I would do what an evil corporation is supposed to do: lie and fight dirty. If I know bringing heavy military weapons is very cost prohibitive, then I have to assume that biological weapons are the logical alternative. I assume my government that sanctioned bringing an army to the planet would know this and knowing how valuable unobtanium is, they very well could approve it and or at least look the other direction (assuming I even told them). I'm not a business man, but I keep hearing that a good one prepares for everything kind of like a boy scout. The corporation in Avatar didn't and that's why they were defeated. A smart (not stupid) corporation would not have played games. |
You are thinking like a supervillain, not a businessman.
Do you know why they were trying to educate the Na'vi? (here is a hint: there are parallels in almost all colonial societies)
