I always laugh when people dismiss Avatar because "it's just Dances With Wolves/Fern Gully/Pocahontas/". Cause you could use that same argument to dismiss those movies for being the same stories too, right? We don't dismiss Star Wars just because it's a tropey heroes journey.

There's plenty of things to criticize in Avatar. Being the same story archetype as those movies isn't one one of them.
