Pattern Ghost Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm cautiously optimistic from that trailer. They seem to have the elements of a decent Aquaman story in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Just now, Pattern Ghost said: I'm cautiously optimistic from that trailer. They seem to have the elements of a decent Aquaman story in there. The personality they've given Aquaman from the JL movie and such is a little too 'alpha male brah' for some, but I trust there will be some depth (No pun intended) in the scenes were we see the concerns Mera mentions on how he doesn't belong in either world. THAT is very Aquaman in some ways, so it may balance out the gungho take which seems different from the often calmer portrayal he has in comics. On the other hand, one could argue that an Aquaman who whoops hollers and talks smack is a bit closer to being the OUTRAGEOUS kind of guy folks loved in a certain cartoon. "I call it Aquaman's rousing song of heroism. What's the matter? You don't look roused" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I have to admit, it looks better than I expected. Right after Justice League I thought, "I don't want to see a movie centered around that guy,"* but I'm pondering thinking about considering changing my mind. *Double that for the JL Flash.

From the JL and these trailers, he seems a bit surfer dood-ish to me. I liked the dopey version from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, so we'll see. I generally like Mamoa, so could probably tolerate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Could be okay. He's basically nobody's favorite character and the frat boy bro from Justice League probably didn't help that much. I do like the way DC sticks closer to the original material than Marvel, who seems afraid to remind people that these are comic book stories. Manta looked great. And they're clearly trying to make it more about badass impressive animals of the deep rather than dolphins and octopi. But boy are they defensive about that talks to fish thing.

Armory Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Not a fan of the "tosses self out of the plane with no parachute" shtick, or perhaps I should say I was a fan of it the first time I saw it in Captain America. That makes me worry about other choices they've made. But I'll go see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 The airplane thing is a fun and clear way to show that Aquaman (and Mera) are powerful supers and not just scuba people who talk to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well Justice League kind of showed that with his falling out of the sky through a building then magically shooting out the front door like a vending machine but yeah probably worth doing again since a lot of people gave JL a pass.

Hermit Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Well, clearly every one now loves Aquaman and thinks the movie will be great. It will be a box office surprise, and folks will walk out newly converted to the wonders of Aquatic monarchy. I am mollified.

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think the toughest parts to pull off will be underwater bits, because they are dark, oddly colored, and in an uncomfortable environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDU Neil Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 In JL, it appeared they couldn't talk underwater, but only when Mera created an air pocket. (Where does the air come from in those pockets, anyway?) But now they show them talking just fine underwater, so... qua? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it has just be screwing with my head, that if you were "displacing" a large cathedral size amount of water at the bottom of the ocean, that volume has to go somewhere, since you can't compress a liquid... so the deeper that is done, more pressure is resisting pushing the water away, requiring a MASSIVE level of TK... and probably setting off a minor tsunami as the wave event generated by the displacement eventually reaches the surface and/or coasts...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 But why do it at all? Unless the new mythology says they can't talk underwater. Maybe they need some kind of telepathy... HEY! ? RDU Neil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have a thought on the air bubble and more why she made it as opposed to how. Maybe they can easily speak underwater, or at least have a language, but sound carries in water and maybe in JL she needed to say something for just him, and the bubble makes it private. Also, as to the pressure, per recent comics, yes, Mera is that strong a water bender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
