- miroljub 3y agoAvatar was actually inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snail_on_the_Slope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snail_on_the_Slope
- baerrie 3y agoSource (i dont have one for my claim lol)? Thematically, Le Guin’s fits Avatar’s world mythos and some of the characters are extremely similar (the colonel from avatar is basically the same as one of the narrators of Word for World). Also, Le Guins book would have been much more available and popular than the Strugatsky brothers at that time
