      Cameron’s first Avatar film wasn’t completed until 2009 but it was in development (under that name) in the 90s. Here is an article about it from 1996.

      As OP’s screenshot notes, Nickelodeon’s show was never released with a single-word name because they were aware of Cameron’s trademark prior to it being released.

        I don’t know anything about movies but the link the person I replied to has multiple movies with the name “avatar” as a single world, do you happen to know why it is possible to copyright the title if others have used it before?
