That's true enough in a vague way, I assume that is true for the one in the OP too. I guess it's a question of the level of similarity and when you can start saying they're similar characters

Indeed. I understand the sentiment given the volumes of media Avatar is (unjustly) accused of ripping off from unpublished books to video games to poems to movies. That was why I didn't respond. I was originally going to but my reply went off on a tangent about how Ferngully is nothing like Avatar.
