Is jesus just a failed budda copycat?

there are some legends that jesus (after he left) and before he came back, het got to travel to india and meet the reincarnation of buddha (not gauthama lol, he lived like 500 yrs before jesus)...and that they exchanged thoughts, and that`s why their moral philosophies are so similar...
I would need some examples to even consider believing the premise of your question, that premise being that what Jesus said had already been said by Buddha before Jesus.
Jesus being crucified was deemed by God the Father to be a necessary step in the Resurrection, in which Jesus defeated death, thereby granting everlasting life to those who follow Christ in their lives.
Jesus is not a copycat, failed nor otherwise.

You sound highly uneducated to make such a claim.
Some of the fundamentals of the teachings attributed to Gautama Buddha are:
The Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an ingrained part of existence; that the origin of suffering is craving for sensuality, acquisition of identity, and annihilation; that suffering can be ended; and that following the Noble Eightfold Path is the means to accomplish this.
The Noble Eightfold Path: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.
Dependent origination: the mind creates suffering as a natural product of a complex process.
Rejection of the infallibility of accepted scripture: Teachings should not be accepted unless they are borne out by our experience and are praised by the wise. See the Kalama Sutta for details.
Anicca (Sanskrit: anitya): That all things that come to be have an end.
Dukkha (Sanskrit: du?kha): That nothing which comes to be is ultimately satisfying.
Anatt? (Sanskrit: an?tman): That nothing in the realm of experience can really be said to be "I" or "mine".
Nibb?na (Sanskrit: Nirv?na): It is possible for sentient beings to realize a dimension of awareness which is totally unconstructed and peaceful, and end all suffering due to the mind's interaction with the conditioned world.

Not failed. There is much of Buddhism in Jesus' teachings (and there is some evidence that Jesus studied in Nepal between the ages of 12 and 30). In both cases, the original prophets, said they were NOT to be worshiped. And in both cases, they got turned into "gods" and their message got totally buried in layers of dogmatic bullpuckey that had nothing to do with their original teachings. And no matter what the Muslims may claim, they are doing the same thing to Muhammad.
Blessings on your Journey!

Even if Jesus existed, i highly doubt that he knew anything about Buddha.
Even if any Buddhists ran into him, i doubt that they told him about Buddhism. If a Buddhist walked around those places in those times, then he probably would have been stoned.

Jesus Christ is the one who died and rose again from the dead for the redemption of all humanity. The one who still loves you and forgives you even in your "ignorance."
The one you will bow your knee to one day.
*********************************
Romans 14:11. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
