Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Dances with wolves.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if both were based off an even older version.
There's no magic tree in Dances with Wolves
It was Ferngully. Ja.es Cameron ripped off Ferngully. https://thenerdstash.com/top-10-ways-avatar-and-ferngully-are-the-same-movie/
Can't argue with this logic
I would agree, except in Aliens there is a clear, distinct, and consistent divide between humans (good guys) and aliens (bad guys). In Avatar… well, hell, a bunch of folks are humans, there's a bunch of aliens, there's folks that are aliens as a day job, some that want to transition from human to alien full time… and I won't even get into the whole narrative of starting as hesitant allies and transitioning to full on war with some humans choosing to fight other humans.
Interesting observation by The Oatmeal, but an excessive oversimplification.
Army of the Dead is Aliens!
I loved the part in aliens when ripley inhabited the body of an alien to get learn from them
