Because DC is ashamed of its heroes.

Because they based his design on the 90s look instead.

Could have dyed his hair though, they are just being lazy with that. Same issue with Barry.

Because this is still Snyder's show, not Johns'. Although I'm sure he'd have had his Aquaman swig back a bottle of Jack Daniels while the tide crashed against him if he thought of it. They're both classic cases of "trying too hard to sell Aquaman".

long blond hair is not considered very masculine to women this days. Also most whites with beards are nu males.
DC is giving female fans what they want: a husbando for their horny rape fantasies.

>>84924175
To a lot of people he does need selling though, maybe not that kind of selling, although, who knows, maybe he does?

Maybe the public perception of Aquaman sucking dick and being lame is so immense that just this kind of "lets make him like Ragnar on Vikings!" will help sell him.

Or maybe it won't.

I'm interested to see how the general public reacts to him, not just us.

For what it's worth I always thought his orange and green outfit was bad. There just is not place to go with that. It's almost inherently nauseous just because of the colors involved no matter what you do with the details and accessories.

>>84924475
So DC is pussy-whipped?

>>84924238
Well not like Namor is gonna get a movie all too soon. And when it does, every normie will harp how he lookes like Aquaman then.

Do you honestly and genuinely believe that Zack fucking Snyder has taken the time to do enough research to know about a comic book that came out in the 90s?

WB is not Marvel, they can't even get a Batman and Superman feat. Wonder Woman movie past 1 billion.

The MCU built a very strong brand and they can sell almost anything to the public. WB is not gonna risk it though, they don't have the guarantee that something like Ant-Man or raccoons in space will appeal to the public. Not yet at least.

>>84924638

>>84924702

He just googled Batman Vs Superman and ended up with images of TDKR batman

Probably kept googling aquaman till he found the 90s image

That's such an ugly looking design, why would you guys actually want it?
An orange turtle neck does not look good and i'm guessing you guys like it purely out of nostalgia.

>>84924121

Because WB thinks he would be more interesting as a Thor rip-off.

>>84926484
My sister does too. Well, how can I not agree, ignoring Batman and (dead for now) Supes, alongside Aquaman you have El Iron Flasho, Woody McSkelly and Trashcanman... who else would you root for?

I figured it was a more grizzled "old man ocean" look. This is the sort of thing i think a more Mediterranean Neptune would look similar to. Considering, i think the not hyper white, blonde auqua man is an interesting look.

I dont give a shit about the ethnicity, but a black auquaman would have been fucking hilarious. My dad never taught me to swim shit.

All in all, good look. new auquaman is a cool take, since they want edgy heroes anyway. Orange spandex isnt very good look anyway, especially if we are doing a "real lives" kind of dc where bodycount matters.

>>84924482
No, it won't. It didn't work in the 90s, it's not going to work now. He would be a far easier sell if they actually embraced the fact that he's a joke. Just have him act like his BaTB self and people would buy it.

>>84924121
>armor-scales thing

You mean chain mail?

>>84936972
Only neckbeards care about wooden acting? And one can be excited for the movie without necessarily liking the lead. I'm fairly curious, I just don't see myself warming up to Gadot overtime

>>84937184
That's actually scalemail, similar but more effective against piercing and slashing attacks

>>84931723
fuckin bizarre right? all i'm seein on here is people outraged over the number of prongs on aquaman's trident and shit. gimmie a break.

>>84924121
No one cares about fucking Aquaman. Changing him up a bit could help in the long run.

>>84924121
Because Aquaman was a retelling of King Arthur and there's nothing Hollywood loves more than fucking over white culture.

That isn't his JL look. He's fully armored there.
