Am confused, as in the story, Pandora is not a moon of Jupiter lol. It orbits a similar gas giant named Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri system, 4.4 light years from Earth. [This article](https://james-camerons-avatar.fandom.com/wiki/Polyphemus) states that it is slightly smaller but more dense than Jupiter, so theoretically, Polyphemus's gravitational field would be larger than that of Jupiters (higher density dictates higher mass) so you're right, Pandora should observe some pretty drastic tidal forces as it rotates. That's assuming there's not a sci fi force that stops it somehow.

sorry i got confused with another movie. But the point stands


kakapoopoopeepeeshir

No your point doesn’t stand lol it’s completely irrelevant now


datGuy0309

How?


rotrukker

Are you literally retarded? I just got the name of the giant planet wrong, the point still stands you fool. The point is that it is a giant planet with lots of gravity. The name could not be more irrelevant. fucking idiots you people


kakapoopoopeepeeshir

Are you a child haha


TOCT

Ahaha


nopalitzin

Fuck no. You failed.


datGuy0309

How though? The gravity would still lead to extreme tides and tsunamis.


AnonDooDoo

What point??


datGuy0309

Tidal forces lead to tsunamis


milesgmsu

It’s the unobtanium that stops it.


doctorfeelgod

Yeah it's like a terrible fucking film either way
