critics and audiences have cited similarities with other films, literature or media, describing the perceived connections in ways ranging from simple "borrowing" to outright plagiarism. ty burr of "the boston globe" called it "the same movie" as "dances with wolves". like "dances with wolves", "avatar" has been characterized as being a "white savior" movie, in which a "backwards" native people is impotent without the leadership of a member of the invading white culture. parallels to the concept and use of an avatar are in poul anderson's 1957 novelette "call me joe", in which a paralyzed man uses his mind from orbit to control an artificial body on jupiter. cinema audiences in russia have noted that "avatar" has elements in common with the 1960s "noon universe" novels by arkady and boris strugatsky, which are set in the 22nd century on a forested world called pandora with a sentient indigenous species called the nave. various reviews have compared "avatar" to the films "", "pocahontas" and "the last samurai." npr's "morning edition" has compared the film to a montage of tropes, with one commentator stating that "avatar" was made by "mixing a bunch of film scripts in a blender". gary westfahl wrote that "the science fiction story that most closely resembles "avatar" has to be ursula le guin's novella "the word for world is forest" (1972), another epic about a benevolent race of alien beings who happily inhabit dense forests while living in harmony with nature until they are attacked and slaughtered by invading human soldiers who believe that the only good gook is a dead gook." the science fiction writer and editor gardner dozois said that along with the anderson and le guin stories, the "mash-up" included alan dean foster's 1975 novel, "midworld". some sources saw similarities to the artwork of roger dean, which featured fantastic images of floating rock formations and dragons. in 2013, dean sued cameron and fox, claiming that pandora was inspired by 14 of his images. dean sought damages of $50m. dean's case was dismissed in 2014, and "the hollywood reporter" noted that cameron has won multiple "avatar" idea theft cases.
