Avatar plagiarizes Delgo?
- Thread starter TK421
- Start date
That movie was made in 2008, whereas Avatar has been in the works for years.
Yeah because Delgo was the first movie ever to feature creatures riding flying creatures, and floating islands.
Cameron's early scriptment has been leaked for many years now... And apparently the movie is following it pretty closely. So I doubt Cameron has anything to worry about in the "being sued" department.

Indeed.
Slightly more worrying for Cameron, from a PR standpoint, is having his $300 million pet project publicly compared to a shitty film that was a total flop. Let's hope the similarities don't extend to the quality.
I never saw Delgo, but when I see Avatar I'm apparently going to see an exact duplicate. It'll be a real time saver. Now if only James Cameron would just get over his insane spell that he's been in since Titanic.
Yeah, and they both have someone holding someone else who is dieing! Wow!
That is lame.
Those islands reminded me strongly of Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky which I doubt originated the concept either.
Did you guys see the trailer...Cameron promised no cartoon-like animation, but that what it looks like to me. I was looking forward to Avatar but I don't do cartoons. Or is it just me?

no its just that when you make a Dances with Wolves type story(white ignorant guy meets native gal & she teaches him her new age ways & to love nature, primitive culture blah blah blah) your going to get a lot of similar story beats...
I bet you could take stills from Pocahontas, Atlantis, Ferngully, & Princess Mononoke & find similar looking stills from Avatar same way this guy did for Delgo...
interesting that all these films are animated & one of the big complaints about the film is that it looks like a cartoon.

Of course, as Harlan Elison knows, James Cameron has plagerized before. That's why his name had to be added to the credits of Terminator after he sued.
I don't know why, but that just made me LAUGH!
No it's not just you. The very second I saw the CGI ''Navi'' (is that what those blue folk are called?) I said ''This looks like a Video Game''
I think Cameron has a giant BOMB on his hands. I'm starting to think that the only reason Cameron is doing this movie in 3-D is so people are distracted from the poor story & less then steller CG!
You're taking this all very personally.
