**They both have adoptive parents (Kerchak and Neytiri) who allow them to stay with Na'vi and Gorilla but they aren't accepting of them to be part of the family and refused accepting them as son because they are not a member of their races (Na'vi and gorilla). 
**Additionally, they both have a healthier relationship with their opposite approve parents (Jake and Kala). 
**They both try to avoid their respective adoptive parents, Neytiri and Kerchak, who are distrustful of them since they are not a member of their races (Na'vi and gorilla) and they believe themselves that Spider and Tarzan never to be one of Na'vi and Gorilla clans, never give Spider and Tarzan chances but they always believe Spider and Tarzan belong their own kinds also they worrying Spider and Tarzan putting risk safety Na'vi and Gorilla endanger to family, Lucky Jake and Kala able to defend for Spider and Tarzan from Kerchak and Neytiri's wrath before they want to get rid of Spider and Tarzan
**They both grew up as young adults who want to be accepted to fit in Na'vi and Gorilla trying to fit in like others
