But he pulled it off.
James Cameron ripped off a comic book from 1985 that features… a primitive blue person who runs around like a cartoonified American Indian. The blue skinned primitive is up against evil white soldiers blah, blah, blah.

(H/T to Iron Geek)
UPDATE: Just to enrage Cameron cultists a little more, here is where Cameron rips off Poul Anderson’s book; Volume 1 Call Me Joe and here is a link featuring more images from Timespirits.


I like how blogs are made out of some other people blog without even looking at the source material.
The comicbook only has that one blue alien. She is from earth’s future who traveled back in time to 1980. And the “white men” are actually Guatemala “freedom fighters” who kill their own people. And the blue chick isn’t even the main part of the story. The comicbook volume consists of eight books, she is in two. The main heroes of the book are actually two Native American time-travelers.
Yep, exactly like Avatar…
OMG! Cameron changed up a few nerd details.
“Um… in Ava-TAR dey go too anobber plan-et an’ there is more of dem blue people.”
