Anyone else think of this while watching Avatar?

My friend brought up a good point during the movie. It has a shitload of similarities to Starcraft.

Poisonous gas=vespene gas
Unobtanium=minerals. They're even in deposits!
Marines=Terrans
Aliens=Protoss (minus all the technology)
Random Pandora creatures=zergs
Big tree home thing/spirit trees=Pylons

:hmm:

I haven't played much Starcraft, but when the humans were describing

Spoiler

the final

battle "objectives" (i.e.,

Spoiler

"get to the Tree of Souls" and "don't let the big plane get to the Tree of Souls"

), I muttered to my friend that it sounded like a Starcraft mission.

And yes, the Na'vi reminded me of Protoss.

 

[lokiju]

Never played the game so nope.

 

[BrownShoes]

No.
