Line 36:
** The destruction of {{spoiler|the Omaticaya hometree}}, and especially its immediate aftermath, takes on a very similar appearance to {{spoiler|September 11, another well-known disaster involving a very tall, inhabited structure crashing violently into the ground below}}. Although from a standpoint of proportional significance among the entire Na'vi population, it would be more akin to nuking most of Manhattan.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: James Cameron originally planned on filming ''Avatar'' immediately after finishing ''[[Titanic]]''. He soon found that the special effects technology of the time wouldn't be sufficient for portraying Pandora.
** ''Project 880'', James Cameron's original script ([http://www.docstoc.com/docs/14294813/Avatar-Scriptment-by--James-Cameron here]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20120101013755/http://www.chud.com/articles/articles/21969/1/PROJECT-880-THE-AVATAR-THAT-ALMOST-WAS/Page1.html summary here]). Some items of note:
*** Earth and its environmental problems are explored. (Sully has never even ''seen'' a forest, so Grace has to practically hold his hand when they go into the woods.)
*** We see Josh (Jake) Sully's Avatar being born -- Sully actually "births" himself. Also, his reaction to walking again is quite different: it takes him a while to gain any sort of strength, and then [[Manly Tears|he cries]].
