Varang as a Mirror to Jake Sully, Not His Opposite

Another strong theory is that Varang isn’t meant to oppose Jake Sully she’s meant to reflect him. Fans point out that Jake, in the earlier films, also made extreme choices to protect his people. He abandoned one world, embraced another, and didn’t hesitate to use violence when necessary. At the time, those choices were framed as heroic. Varang’s actions, by contrast, are viewed through a more uncomfortable lens. She is protecting her people too, but without the same support
