teachercd Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I thought Vincent Chase already played Aquaman. 3 Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Jason Mamoa was probably the second best part of Justice League, so this might have a chance. Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I can't believe I am saying this...but Jason Mamoa actually made Aquaman cool. I will definitely see this. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I dunno, I just don't think every peripheral comic book super hero needs their own movie. Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) This is this link to the new Aquaman trailer: For some reason, YouTube won't allow it to be embedded. Edited July 23, 2018 by Mavric Fixed Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I don't know, to be honest... I think this movie looks like ass. 2 Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Aquaman was the runner up MVP in Justice League, but that's not saying much. Neither is this trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Doesn't look good to me at all. DC has really fallen short in putting their universe on the screen compared to Marvel. I grew up knowing only DC characters, reading Superman and Batman comics and watching Superfriends on Saturday morning. Aquaman always seemed like a lame character. They can't make a decent Superman or Green Lantern movie, how is Aquaman supposed to be a convincing hero? Quote Link to comment
Fru Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Trailer didn't do much for me, but I could see this being a hit. Seems that any super hero movie that provides something new and has a coherent plot is a hit. Marvel characters have an advantage in that none of the characters had any other marquee films to be compared to. Iron Man, Capt America, Thor etc don't have the comparative iterations that Batman and Superman do. Quote Link to comment

I thought this would've been obvious based on my sarcasm - there's very little about that movie (in particular, that scene) that makes me think 'coherent plot' and 'Aquaman' will ever legitimately be used in the same sentence.

I don't quite understand why you posted the "Not sure if serious" meme in reference to my comment about Guardians of the Galaxy. Any super hero movie can sound ridiculous. You used a meme from a movie where a guy dresses up like a bat and fights a clown. Perhaps it'll be a flop, perhaps not. Who knows? I was just saying I could see it doing well since it offers something new. I don't know that 3 seconds of a trailer can determine that the whole plot of a movie is aimless ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The meme was because comparing Rocket/Groot to that goat is a silly comparison, unless that goat is somehow a central and charming character in the plot of what's supposed to be a satirical comedy superhero movie, but I'd be willing to bet Aquaman (and the goat) is... not that. The fact that the meme came from a Batman movie is coincidental - I was either going to go with that or a Futurama meme. And it wasn't just three seconds of the trailer - I said "there's very little about that movie (in particular, that scene)." Perhaps I could've been more clear by saying trailer and not movie. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for DC to stop obliterating these movies. Wonder Woman has been the only real installment worth note up to this point, in my opinion, and even it dropped the ball in a pretty big way. 1 Quote Link to comment
