Why Are Tulkuns Being Targeted by Whalers in Avatar: The Way of Water?
The tulkuns are being hunted in Avatar: The Way of Water because harvesting their brain enzymes is the remedy to stop human aging. Scoresby (Brendan Cowell), the head whaler admits that the brain enzyme of one of these marine animals is worth about 80 million dollars. The tulkuns are whale-like creatures from the Pandoran ocean. They’re highly intelligent animals who can communicate with the Na’vi and have a special relationship with the Metkayina reef people clan. Tulkuns are considered part of the spiritual family of Metkayina and have a lifelong bond with them. That’s why when the tulkuns come back from their migration patterns, it’s a celebration for the whole Metkayina village, as they meet with their friends and have many stories to tell each other about the adventures lived since they left. With all this in mind, when the whalers start killing tulkuns, the Metkayina go into action and want to avenge their marine family. Now that you know why are tulkuns being hunted in Avatar: The Way of Water, you can look for more content and guides from the movie in Twinfinite. We have all the answers: including whether there’s an end credits scene, to how long the film is, or how much the movie has to make to break even.
