Does avatar copy things from halo? - Answers

Yes, many people believe that James Cameron took some ideas from the Halo series. For example: The scorpions in Avatar and the Scorpions in Halo look almost exactly the same. Banshees in Avatar are the flying dragon like creatures that are rode by the Na'vi. The guns that are used by the humans are quite similar to Halo guns. I believe there are also warthogs in Avatar. All of these similarities, and it would be an amazing coincidence. No, Avatar DOES NOT copy anything from Halo. Bungie took elements from James Cameron's Aliens and JC's Terminator (if you notice the giant flying drop ship in Aliens and the HK flyers in Terminator). Bungie said on their site just yesterday, "This might be a good place to make mention that the recent ruckus in the press over accusations that Cameron had infused Avatar with some Halo-esque attributes have given us a good chuckle. We've always been quite clear -- and it should be quite apparent to anyone paying any modicum of attention -- that Halo was influenced, in part, by Cameron's 'Aliens.'" The Scorpion in Halo is a tank, and the Scorpion in Avatar is something more similar to the HORNET in Halo, not the Scorpion. Yes there are flying creatures in Avatar that the humans reference as banshees, but hell if this movie is supposed to take place in the future, why wouldn't people reference Halo like that when it was such an amazing game? The guns do not look a thing like the ones in Halo, and no, there are no warthogs in Avatar, they just ride jeeps, which you see once or twice throughout the entire THREE HOUR FILM. If you want to complain about someone copying elements from Halo, go back and watch District 9 (great movie btw). That film has white warthogs in it that don't have turrets. Hmm... Probably cuz Peter Jackson's Weta workshop made a live action warthog for the ODST landfall trailer.... Just a coincidence though. I'm sure they've copied Halo just like Cameron did.
