Prawn (District 9) vs Navi (Avatar)

vs

Fight Takes place in District 9, morals off

Standard prawn vs Navi both are bloodlusted both unarmed.

Im pretty positive a Prawn would win but i wanna hear your thoughts on this.

Navi, because they actually know how to fight with out ranged weapons.

@agentxx: A prawn grabbed a guys arm and kicked him in the chest ripping his arm off and sending him flying for at least 10 meters, A navi threw someone across a ship and hit a few guys with his bow injuring them. A prawn also through a hefty armed security guard onto a shack and broke another mans arm after hitting him with a gun he also threw him around like a ragdoll.

@AmazingScrewOnHead:A Na'vi is more skilled, Prawn's are mindless brawlers.

physical stats mean nothing if you can't fight, hell a prawn got his arm chopped off by a regular human using almost no effort.

well thats mostly true, but who would win in H2H, somebody as strong as hulk or skilled as batman? when the odds are in one strengths favour at that amount strength wins.

I actually think they're equal in strength/durability

@agentxx: The navi have no feats of strength or H2H skil apart from throwing some marines off the shuttle. Prawns have more feats and are far stronger and more durable, A prawn did not lose its arm easily it got stabbed in the back with a machete and it fell down, a prawn also tanked some fire from an assualt rifle Navi are gunned down and killed easily.

You do realize that they got gunned down by marines hundreds of years from the future that use advanced munitions mean while the Prawns were getting stomped by gangsters with cheap weapons?

@texasdeathmatch: Its H2H armed would be a prawn stomp

Yet another feat is the prawns ripping Koobus apart and eating him with no effort.

Hand on Hand Navi's win, If there is weapons involved then Prawns Pwn ! 

Prawns, just because District 9 was a much better movie.

This, just this!

@Moonchilde: I agree i hated Avatar

bump

The Prawns win, due to there greater strength and durability, the navi werent that impressive.

The Prawns lose because they where a lot more realistic, at best they had powerfully built legs but you could see that a human could still overpower one with upper body strength. The Navi had exaggerated science fiction stats so the Prawns don't have a hope.

@Dextersinister: Did you even watch the film??? Prawns ripped people to shreds and punched people flying. All the navi did to show there strength is throwing some guy across a room and then getting gunned down, The Navi didnt even show any close combat skill, all i saw was them using bows and arrows. Not once did a prawn get overpowered by humans, yeah Christopher got knocked out by wickus using some heavy object and he got attacked by koobus but if he fought back he may have ripped koobus in half but the other mercs would have shot him. Neither the prawns or the navi where exaggerated, they said the Navi were very hard to kill, not once did a navi survive a gunshot the blue monkeys were massacred. If a navi punches a prawn it will hurt the navi more.

@AmazingScrewOnHead: Yes there was a scene where a Prawn used his legs to pull a mans arms off which was impressive but Wikus, Koobus and the scientists holding Prawns never have trouble with there upper body strength. Advanced weaponry is not a good example on the durability of a Navi especially when standard guns killed Prawns just fine.

@Dextersinister: The scientists didnt hold prawns?? no prawns were held, yeah wickus was held but he wasnt even a fully fledged prawn and he flung the scientists around, when they tried to arrest Christophers freind he lashed out and threw the overweight guard away like a ragdoll and punched wickus flying and broke his arm?? And the prawns tanked bullets several times. Watch the film again or go onto the wiki please.

Imagine if the prawns were aggressive creatures the movie would have played out differently.

Prawn might actually be stronger when you think about it.

However, Navi are leagues more durable, and bigger, and are better fighters. I go Navi.

Thanks for reading,

@Floopay: The Navi didnt show any durabilty feats whatsoever, Quaritch said they where very hard to kill this was just a bit of nonsense to make them sound tough, they died like flies out in the battle field. I saw prawns tanking gunshots, Koobus shot a prawn with his pistol close range and it didnt even flinch and a prawn got hit with a semi automatic and still stood up.

@Floopay: And they didnt seem to be much better fighters either, better archers but they showed no close combat skill.

Navi ftw

The prawn from the movie weren't soldiers, they were just normal people in a space ship, we might see actual soldiers in the next movie and who knows what they will be like, they might be able to slaughter humans with ease. Also the normal navi seemed pretty weak, however the human/navi looked alot more buff and was probably stronger.

That's not really fair, the guns used in District 9 were modern, meanwhile the Avatar weapons were futuristic.

@ComocYahweh: Hardly the guns did not seem much different, they still fired bullets and they might not have evolved that much, for all we know the guns they were using could be cheap crap compared to other firearms of the time period considering they were all just mercs its unlikely but still, Prawns need armour piercing rounds to be brought down and some of them still tanked that.

The Navi have no visible armour, just skin, the prawns have a carprace and certainly look more durable, the Navi also appeared very scrawny and weak. Also the Navi showed no strength or skill in close combat, one swiped a human with a bow knocking him over and one threw a human several feet, pretty pathetic compared to the Prawns, who ripped humans limb from limb with no effort.

P.S Avatar is one of the worst films ive ever seen anyone else agree?

Sully did block the mech attacks, however he looked stronger than the normal ones, they are also quite a bit taller. And the guns are most likely quite a bit more advanced than in District 9, I'd say those machine guns would kill Prawn just as easy as they killed Navi.

I wouldn't call a movie ''the worst'' if it had the best CGI ever created. I'm not a big fan of Pocahontas story lines but the movie did have potential.

The Prawns we have seen in District 9 aren't very bright but according to their technology they are actually a very intelligent species. Let us also not forget that the prawns had a very bad environment and that they weren't well nourished (which was mentioned in the movie several times). The Prawns we have seen were slaves and it is quite impressive for a slave to still have so much strength (like ripping human limbs off with ease). So according to what we have seen from both films I'd say a Navi wins a fight h2h combat against a prawn. But I think a fully trained prawn could possibly take a Navi h2h if we ever will get to see one in the next District 9 movie.

Navi win 7/10 better h2h strategists

Navi, they are more skilled and durable.

On 2nd thoughts prawns might edge this due to having home advantage

Prawns easily. They are scrappers and they are survivors. The Navi may live in a hostile environment. Also they are not idiots Christopher Johnson showed this to be true.
