Budget was 500 million dollars, not 200. And are you saying that “Avatar” actually had a plot? Oh, that’s right. It did have an evil plot— but Cameron actually stole it from secret Obama Administration “Leaked” state department documents. The White house has filed suit against Cameron claiming— “You can’t fool us sucka, that was our idea first, and we know what you are up to buddy…”

[...] in space, Dances with Smurfs in a hilarious South Park episode, a Yes album cover, a plagiarised 1957 novella etc. One more comparison that occurred to me as I was watching is Anders Rønnow Klarlund’s [...]

When one dissects the movie into individual components, one will find elements that have been used over and over again. The magic of this film, however, lies in the whole: the merging of all the familiar components to come up with this wonderful magical unique whole.

Hah, yeah you know, its like music. All the notes have already been played, just you have to play them differently. Everybody always wants something for nothing. Its influenced by lots of science fiction elements that everybody knows. Its meant to relate to us and be familiar even though it takes place on a different planet and surround a alien species most of the time. I loved this film, I hope he doesnt have to pay any of these guys a cent.

No… it’s not from one source he did kind of an a la carte plagerism job.

The main character and Avatar technology is from Call Me Joe.
He took the ornothopters from the Command and Conquer games.
He took the APUs from Matrix Revolutions.
He took the romance from Fern Gully and Pocahontus.
The theme message about live and let live could come from a dozen movies.
He took the Gaia-hating military villian from Final Fantasy: Spirits Within
He took the self-preserving tree deus ex mechanica from the Warcraft 3 game.
He took the interaction between avatar and alien from Dances with Wolves.
He took the interconnected alien biosphere from Evolution (which looked alot like one of the planets on Revenge of the Sith)
…and come to think of it, watching Segorney Weaver being ignored by her interplanetary corporate bosses felt like pretty famliar ground too…

Can you have a class action plagerism suit?

Pah-lease. I’ve read the story… The similariies are greatly exaggerated. And wow, beasts with six legs are such a ground-breaking idea Cameron had to ‘steal’ it.
