: Re: What if my story seems too similar to a particular movie? I'm writing a story about fictional beings who have the power of the four elements. Only very few, very rare people posses the power

I feel that yes, there is a very close resemblance to Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, I could also name several books in which the idea of elemental magic is used. All of them are different, so if you can make yours different, it will be fine. Perhaps you could change:

The setting.
The ideas/story goal.
The 'nation' thing.

Among other things from the film.

To be honest, so many people use elemental magic that there's no way the creators of Avatar could possibly find the time to sue them (even if they could). It's fine. People won't think you stole the idea because the 'four elements' thing is one from very ancient civilizations.
