Was it just me, or did anyone else thing that Unobtainium was a fucking stupid name for a mineral, from the get go?
Another thing I didn't like, concerning the stuff, was that absolutely no effort was put into explaining exactly why humans were wanting this shit.

And if the Na'vi did know why the humans were there, it wasn't made clear why the Na'vi were refusing to help them, aside from a general "why should we let these sky people dig up our homes just to get some useless rocks?"

Hell, for that matter, Unobtainium itself has its own TvTropes page too, except that in the case of Avatar and its Unobtainium, the TvTropes MacGuffin definition actually fits better than their Unobtainium one.

"What's that?"
"An automobile!"
"why?"
"'cause it's automatically mobile."
"ah"
Also, if this ....I can't say it without giggling. If this stupidly named rock FLOATS and is all under this tree....why isn't the tree in danger of floating away? Just wondering.

Also, supposedly, that was why those rocks were floating in that other area. They were in the "flux" or whatever. Whether they were made of unobtainium or not wasn't stated, as far as I recall, but it's likely they were, given the law of conservation of detail. That is to say, the floaty rock on the guy's desk was unobtainium, so it stands to reason that the floaty rocks in the floaty islands was also unobtainium and were being subjected to a similar force to the one put out by the thing on the desk. That company guy also didn't ( ... )
