While the question of the white man being the messiah is implemented here in the movie Avatar. There are some differences that could be seen here. One is that he has a completely different body. While he is originally a human and not a native. He still has the complete mind set of the role as the messiah. So does Jake Sully still count as the white messiah to the Na'vi?
That would be a yes, since the actions of this character follows the actions of past characters who taken the role as the messiah. While he is just suppose to fill the role to get the natives to trust him, he ends up being one of them. He even goes against his own side with the Na'vi after loving everything he has been shown and taught. His nativity is the same but learns and becomes a type of savior afterwards.
