Avatar ~= BZ2?

[Red Devil]

I was watching the Avatar trailer (again) tonight and was suddenly struck by the similarities between Avatar and the BZ2 storyline.  Anybody else notice them, too?

[Steeveeo]

I'd say Avatar is more toward BZ1, considering he is making BZClassi--

Wait...

Not that Avatar?

[S.cavA.rmyG.en]

ya some what why?

[TwinShadow]

I don't see how they're similar IMO. But I've only seen the trailer in full once. So... to me, I don't really see any similarities between the two stories.

The movie "Avatar: The last Air Bender"

I think.

Yes, as far as the fundamental storyline, there is a similarity between Avatar & BZ2 (not BZ1), as I see it, especially when the main character has to make a "choice".  And besides, the Scions and the Avatar aliens are both blue-ish.  No more hints! Should be a good sci-fi Hollywood action flick, James Cameron is involved (Terminator, Rambo, Aliens, Titanic).  He's also involved in filming "Battle Angel", for you Manga fans.

Do the new blue guys have blue moon boots and pants that show off their blue buttocks?

[Red Devil]

They barely wear anything, plus there's even a sexy Smurf-ette/Shabayev - with ears that wiggle. 

Similarities:

Biometal vs. expensive grey ore
Transformation of lead characters
Power-mad military/corporate guy who even looks like Manson
BZ2 wormhole effect
Walkers
Really good music

RD's comparisons should be evidence enough of a parallel.  They don't really wear any 'moon' boots (I'm sure there are shoes somewhere, didn't really look), but their feet are big (they're 10 ft tall), and they do live on a moon.  And they'll probably show an ass or two.  'hee haw'

Definitely similar. Looks interesting. Sigourney Weaver is great.
