Here’s yet another identification of parallels between Avatar and another story – in this case Pocahontas.
What seems to be missed by many is that, when we can identify so many parallels with so many stories, this suggests that the issue is not with Avatar but that many of our stories follow similar patterns and motifs. In the case of Star Wars, this was at least somewhat intentional on George Lucas’ part, as he drew consciously on Joseph Campbell’s work on mythology and the common themes and storylines that run through it.
It’s just another one of many topics for discussion in religion and science fiction this semester!
