Eddie Murphy brilliantly digests the R&B stars of the early '60s in his portrayal of James "Thunder" Early, a key figure in the fictional career of the Dreams, the girl group of the movie. He looks like Ike Turner, borrows his stage moves from Wilson and has some Marvin Gaye hovering over his character. Gaye was not only Motown's chief solo male vocal star, he was married to Gordy's sister. Gordy also packaged Gaye, at one point, as a supper club entertainer -- a common strategy for R&B performers hoping to cross over to white audiences in those days -- a scene repeated in the movie with Early.

A long rant like this really wasn't necessary...and you obviously didn't watch Avatar very much. 1. Aang can't bloodbend, only Katara can, and only during the full moon. 2. Aang can freely control his Avatar state now, so he doesn't need a trigger anymore, unlike Naruto. Naruto characters would probably pwn all the Avatar characters though, Aang's the only one that could do anything. And I really don't get how you could say Avatar is a copy of Naruto, that's just plain stupid, there's barely any similarities except the elements thing, but that has roots hundreds of years older than either of the 2 shows.
