Ever notice how Avatar is the only major film that is called unoriginal, despite being more original than the vast majority of blockbusters? I wonder why that is?

Also, "there remains a nagging suspicion that the plot of Avatar borrowed more surreptitiously from less litigable source material: the epic Kevin Costner western Dances With Wolves or the animated musical FernGully: The Last Rainforest, for instance, both of which feature native tribes who come under threat from outsiders and a central romance between a local female and a sympathetic member of the invading race:"

Ever see a movie that features a superhero battling a super villain?
Are you saying that story is less common and therefore more original than Avatar?

You've fallen into the trap of confirmation bias. You believe something, and you find an article that points out something that you think proves your belief; then you ignore the abundance of widely available evidence that disproves your belief.
