Similarities of the movie Avartar and World of Warcraft.

I just seen the Movie Avartar and i did some reseach on James Cameron (the maker of Avatar) and found out he plays WoW. That being said, I couldn't for the life of me stop thinking of all the World of Warcrafts similarities, despite me not playing for yrs. I mean, c'mon. You start with an Avatar (your Lv1 Night Elf), visit the capital with the huge Tree, level up by hunting and get your first riding mount. Train some more you get your flying mount at the flying mountains (which isn't anything new, of course). And then you get your epic flying mount which makes you the talk of the town, only to mount a defense against a raid by the opposing faction. Im just saying for those that played WoW before, im sure you seen these same similarities.

Pandora seemed like a straight cross between Zangarmarsh and Nagard (flying mountains)

tbh, the whole movie seemed like a cross between Halo and WoW

the maker of Avartar plays a night elf hunter. I mean i was siting with my wife and i was like this movie reminds me of WoW (the night elf area).. LoL. Then come to find out james camern plays wow. I just started laughing. Even those little tree spirits in the movie are alot like the wasp in the night elf area. That was a great movie.

Lol I find this pretty funny, I used to play WoW and consider playing it again all the time. Now that you mention all of those things it does kind of make sense.

Hey genius, i never said avatar is ripping off WoW, I only said there's alot of similarities. people also said the story (Avatar)is similar to the pocahontas storyline as well. It doesnt mean that its a rip-off, itJust means they have a similar storyline nothing more, nothing less. If your confusing the word similarities with the word rip-off then your a idiot, they're two different thing. Its true, I wouldn't lie to you.

It wouldn't surprise me.

Avatar is one of the most cliché'-ridden narratives in recent memory, full of contrivances and derivative to its very core. Cameron borrowed heavily to make the film so any similarities would be consistent with the overall look and feel of the film.
