Savages Vs Society, Pocahontas Will Always Win

One of the main arguments presented in Rousseau's Second Discourse is that the savage man trumps the civilized man. We see this point being clearly and often times painfully made throughout his writing in passages like, "The body of a savage man being the only instrument he understands, he uses it for various purposes, of which ours, for want of practice, are incapable: for our industry deprives us of that force and agility, which necessity obliges him to acquire." and? "Give civilized man time to gather all his machines about him, and he will no doubt easily beat the savage; but if you would see a still more unequal contest, set them together naked and unarmed, and you will soon see the advantage of having all our forces constantly at our disposal, of being always prepared for every event, and of carrying one's self, as it were, perpetually whole and entire about one."

I know his sentences get a bit lengthly so those will be the only direct quotes I use. So Rousseau believes civilized humans have become too dependent on all our technology and "machines" and when the time comes when we are without it, we would fail against opposing forces, while the savage man has "all of [his] forces constantly at [his] disposal", subsequently being prepared. He also list examples of when this statement would true, like against bears and wolves more generally "wild beast". Now where does this tie into Avatar? You mean besides the entire theme and ending to the movie where the Na'vi and Pocahontas beat the "civilized" humans? Well, one specific scene in particular stood out to me. Though, the whole flow of the movie follows this structure of feeling.

In this scene, it's Jake's first night on pandora as a Na'vi, where he is bumbling alone through the forest in the dark like a little kid lost in the mall. He is attacked by a group of six legged beasts. Much to Rousseau's dismay, Jake tries using all of his civilized "machines" Rousseau describes, even producing a torch to scare the beasts away at one point. This continues until he is saved by Neytiri, who, as a savage, easily slays the beasts. This is of course appeals to Rousseau's structure of feeling that there is superiority in the savage man.
