How original! JohnnyBones Not to mention that it's just Pocahontas in space.

JohnnyBones I was a Dean fan years ago too -- got immersed in "Views" and "Magnetic Storm" -- and had to complain to my wife through the whole movie that Roger came up with most of the visuals before James. JohnnyBones I have to agree with the judge. Maybe you see something more in there, but to me, the similarities are way too vague - sure, you've got flying islands and arches, but that's hardly groundbreaking.

They look as dissimilar as two flying islands and arches can be. Look at the beautiful magnetic-field-copying pattern of Avatar's arches! Dean's arches look to me just like any other natural arch we have on Earth, Avatar's distinctly do not.

Both also have trees, but that didn't seem to catch your attention :D Even the flying islands look nothing alike, and the idea long predates both. When she was 9-years-old, Azula demonstrated and even flaunted her firebending prowess to her grandfather, the late Firelord Azulon, even surprising him how great she is for her age. She grew to love this constant attention and become somewhat of an exhibitionist overtime as she would typically demonstrate her power and sadistic nature over her peers to garner their attention too.

After her brother was banished from the capital to look for Aang, Azula spent the next three years relentlessly training her bending, strategy, and combat until she concentrated her skills down into her refined, advanced blue fire technique.

One final notion may be based on the creators' having personified Azula on color symbolism alone. While her namesake in the Avatar universe derived from her grandfather, Azulon, but her name also comes from the Spanish translation of blue, which is Azul. As she is the only one who is personified as blue amongst a nation of red, this makes her stand out even more as a character.

Moving forward with that concept, the creators could have structured her as a sort of contrast to her nation, especially her brother, Zuko. While throughout the series, Zuko had been very passionate, hotheaded, and impulsive , Azula had been depicted very even-tempered, cunning, logical, and a perfectionist.

However, someone who personifies the color blue showcases confident and self-controlled, but under the surface, may be hiding vulnerabilities. Although there are many possibilities for why Azula was gifted with blue flames as her signature technique, her upbringing as someone who must always strive for perfection and attain a flawed ideology of world domination is one major reason she was able to achieve her iconic ability in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
