Fans Have Mixed Feelings About Spider In Avatar: The Way Of Water

Spider has an interesting arc through "Avatar: The Way of Water." While he's pretty much part of the Sully family initially, Neytiri never fully embraces him. The wedge is driven in further when Spider is kidnapped by Quaritch's (Stephen Lang) forces and tasked with helping them track down Jake, with Quaritch learning along the way that Spider is his son. By the end of the movie, Spider is reunited with the Sullys, but not before saving Quaritch from drowning, which is bound to have consequences in future installments. 

It's understandable some people would be angry at Spider's actions, but plenty have taken the extra step to outright express their disdain for the character. On Twitter, @RyleeGoodwin went so far as to say, "I'd like to apologize to jar jar binks, spider from the new avatar takes the crown as worst character in cinema history." @matthewivan77 even refuses to see any more "Avatar" movies because of Spider, stating, "i literally will not be seeing any new avatars because of that Spider character. painful to watch." 

Of course, Spider has his fans as well. @markffigueroa wrote, "i'm soo excited to see the exploration and development of spider and neytiri's relationship in avatar 3, 4, & 5. i felt so bad for him cuz he just wants to be accepted and apart of the family so bad." @mallovesfilms posted a funny image to voice their support of Spider, to which @orfanthemalaka responded, "very interested to see where they go with his character. And he blends in great with the CGI world." With the financial success of "Avatar: The Way of Water," there's a very good chance fans will see more Spider in future installments, whether they like it or not.
