The thing that really set the Na'vi apart from everything else on their world, as someone pointed out to me, is not the four-limbs-plus-tail as opposed to six-limbs-plus-tail, but the fact that they breathed through human-type noses, as opposed to having those breathing ducts on their chests, like the horses/dragons/etc.
Probably something to do with the fact that you can only make an alien so different before a human audience has trouble sympathizing with/understanding Sully falling in love with one of them.
But like you said, you don't really care while you're watching it(I wasn't expecting much out of the plot, and at least it's not, y'know, horrible *coff*Transformers:RotF*coff*). XD Because ~dang~ is Avatar a shiny movie. I especially loved the parts where the avatars/Na'vi interacted with humans, just, how different and how similar and, I dunno. Just. Yeah.
