A quick comprehensive guide and analysis of Tonowari from James Cameron's Avatar (2009) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Explained.

In this breakdown, analysis, reaction and explanation we focus on Tonowari, played by actor Cliff Curtis, the clan leader or Olo'eyktan of the Metkayina clan. One of the many oceanic clans residing in the atolls region of Pandora's eastern seas.

In this video essay we discuss Tonowari's relationship with his mate/wife Ronal (Kate Winslet), his daughter Tsireya (Bailey Bass) and his son Ao'nung (Filip Geljo). And his stuggle of accepting Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri's (Zoe Saldana) family into the central village of the Metkayina, Awa'atlu. Dealing with the chaos that is Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), Tuk (Trinity Bliss), Neteyam (Jamie Flatters), Spider (Jack Champion), and Lo'ak (Britain Dalton).

Tonowari guides his Na'vi clan through "Times of Great Challenge" as the Captain of the SeaDragon Mick Scoresby (Brendan Cowell), Dr. Ian Garvin (Jemaine Clement) and the rest of Scoresby's crew hunts down their Tulkun spirit brothers and sisters, like Ro'a.

I reference Avatar The Way of Water The Visual Dictionary (2022) and The World of Avatar: A Visual Exploration (2022) to give you some more of that knowledge when it comes to his wardrobe, costume design and overall aesthetic. Like how it is greatly inspired by the teeth of an Akula.
