That would take a better storyteller to do so, and Cameron doesn't qualify.

In other words, the Na'vi are willing to let billions of human beings die on Earth, simply because they selfishly don't want to be inconvenienced by having to move somewhere else. Is that about right? Somebody needs to explain to me why the Na'vi are supposed to be the good guys here. Let me see if I understand the premise correctly:
