10 Reasons Why Avatar Was Unoriginal

[drblood]

Just for fun (sort of)

1. Aeschylus' Persae ("The Persians") 473 B.C.
2. Arthur Brooke The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet 1562
3. William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet 1595
4. La Planète Sauvage ("The Fantastic Planet") 1973
5. Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers 1997
6. Dungeons & Dragons 2000
7. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within 2001
8. Underworld 2003
9. Twilight 2008
10. District 9 2009

Any more? Maybe The Matrix?

Are you saying Underworld, District 9, and Twilight were copied by Avatar?

Yup.

Underworld - it's all blue (and they have fangs!).
District 9 - CGI aliens (and social commentary)
Twilight - sparkly bits (and Romeo & Juliet love story)

Uhhh, okay.

Avatar is unoriginal because it rips-off :

1. Dances With Wolves
2. District 9
3. The Lord of the Rings
4. Ferngully
5. Pocahontas
6. The Matrix
7. Starcraft

It was awesome, though the dialogue scenes were continous and seemed to have dragged on to the longgest extent they could.
