Lo'ak's ability to communicate with Payakan the Tulkun in Avatar: The Way of Water is never fully explained, but there is secretly a reason for this.
While Avatar: The Way of Water never explains Lo’ak’s linguistic bond with his Tulkun buddy Payakan, there is a justification for this apparent plot hole. The Avatar movies have an immersive, complicated lore and, while 2009’s original Avatar did a lot to introduce viewers to the world of Pandora, its sequel was less concerned with this.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In some instances, Avatar: The Way of Water’s omissions are secretly genius. For example, the fact that viewers barely see the human base of operations in Pandora during the sequel’s action might seem like a mistake, but this means that the sequels can later reveal that the invading force’s stronghold is far bigger and more extensive than viewers might have initially assumed.
The Metkayina did say that they have a deep connection to the Tulkun and, per Jaffa and Silver, “The Metkayina believe so deeply in their tulkun brothers and sisters that I think the audience kind of goes with it.” Unlike Parker Selfridge’s Avatar: The Way of Water absence, this mystery was less of an unexplained misstep and more of a chance to reinforce a recurring theme throughout the franchise.
Why Avatar: The Water Of Water's Tulkun Twist Still Works Lo’ak’s ability to talk to Payakan works because any attempts to rationalize the inter-species communication would go against Avatar: The Way of Water’s central message. The story of the original Avatar saw Jake learn to accept that he wasn’t able to control Pandora or the Na’vi, and Avatar: The Way of Water proves that the mysteries of the Metkayina are equally unpredictable.
