It took James Cameron 38 years to create Pandora.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The prolonged development of James Cameron's Avatar sequels might seem outlandish, but a long development process isn't unique to the franchise considering it took Cameron 38 years from his initial idea to seeing the world of Pandora on screen.
By portraying the humans as insignificant relative to the scale of the surrounding forest, James Cameron started leaning into classic science fiction themes of man vs. nature and technology vs. nature that would eventually encompass the world of Avatar. On Pandora, the natural world is beyond both human reach and grasp, and their destructive attempts to control the environment ultimately prove as futile as the path the humans journey across in the similarly enormous jungle of "Planet Flora.
Small moments in Avatar such as Jake batting away wood sprites, the light ripples on the ground as he steps, or the wrapping tendrils of a tree during his and Neytiri's kiss, to larger visual concepts such as battles utilizing mechanized suits or Jake's final conversion to the Na'vi involving him being "overgrown with creeper-like tendrils" are all directly lifted or adapted from Xenogenesis.
