As one who enjoyed the movie tremendously, and with Avatar's much deserved merits notwithstanding, I nevertheless find fitting to point the more than casual similarities between both stories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;One reaches the more than likely conclusion that J. Cameron must have been exposed to this story at some point while developing the idea for Avatar, and even entertain the thought that Dumb Story might very well have been the spark that ignited in Cameron's head what would eventually grow into the cinematic wonder that the worldwide audiences knows as Avatar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Consider if you will, the following comparison:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px;

No prizes for guessing that in Avatar the natives, lead by &lt;i&gt;el Worthington&lt;/i&gt;, finally overcome the evil earth corporation. Corben's version, on the other hand, makes no sugarcoated compromises, and its outcome is closer to what we would expect in real life (look no further than the history of pre-columbian civilizations and north american indigenous peoples, who were wiped out by successive waves of european settlers)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;It goes without saying, I'm not implying here that Cameron is stealing or plagiarizing.

Por supuesto en Avatar los nativos, liderados por el Worthington, triunfan sobre la malvada corporación terrícola. La versión de Corben no acepta compromisos edulcorados, y es mas próxima a lo que seria la realidad (como comfirma la historia de las culturas precolombinas y nativas americanas que fueron aniquiladas por sucesivas olas de colonizadores españoles, ingleses, franceses y yanquis)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Como ya digo, no estoy acusando aquí a Cameron de plagiar a Corben.
