oddly, I suspect battle for terra took way less time ot make. If anything, I'd guess that battle for terra was a ripoff of avatar made to steal some thunder and credit.

But it is funny. it's sort of like if, right before star wars had come out, someone had made a lame cartoon version of it. Lucasfail.

I'm sure Battle for Terra took less time to make, but if it is a "ripoff" instead of vice-versa, then Cameron let way too many people look at his script and then let them do it better... :P

Besides, with Terra the whole native thing was played up a lot better, with the female native being a driving force in the resistance instead of a passive one.

And I wouldn't categorize "Terra" as lame... Based on Ferret's review, they got the plot right. It's as if right before Episode 1 came out, someone else came up with a more compact version with comprehensible dialogue. :P

This is a fair point.
