Goddamn I love me some Aquaman.

>>92629966
Don't even have hopes for JL, WW or Flash but Aquaman seems to be at least entertaining and unique in terms of setting. I wonder when we'll get Shazam news next.

>Tweeted out a Lovecraft quote about how the ocean is full of scary shit when it was announced he got the job
>Momoa is hyped as fuck
>Mera looks dead-on accurate
>Ocean Master and Manta right out of the gate
>Manta's actor is ready to crank it up to 11
>Really cool green-screen rig being used for the underwater stuff, looks good
>Apparently will take cues from the N52 run
>Shooting has just started
>No "the director quit, let's find a replacement, oh no they quit too" shit like with Wonder Woman
>No "I know the movie comes out in like a year but we need to completely re-write this from the ground up for the fourth time" like with Flash
>No "the executives are VERY concerned" like with BvS and Suicide Squad

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I think this could turn out good. It's shaping up to be the best thing the DCEU has to offer, like a child prodigy coming out of an abusive home.

>>92630092
Honestly, people can joke all they want about Patrick Wilson being Momoaman's brother, but he's got a damn good face for the Ocean Master mask.
Not to mention he works with Wan all the time, so you know he'll be at the top of his game.

>>92630047
>Director is hyped to "do the character justice"
This has never meant absolutely anything.

Black Manta: Hey, Curry. How's the wife?!
Aquaman: She's fine.
Black Manta: She sure is.
Aquaman: wut.

>>92630144
I'm paraphrasing here, but I recall James Wan put out a statement about how he apparently chose to do Aquaman over the Flash because it was a more unique project.
Because everyone thinks Aquaman is a joke, but that's so obviously untrue to anyone who actually reads comics.

It's not just a "the studio brought me on and I read through a trade" thing, he's super into it.

>>92630159
>Big buff dude who's been typecast as big buff kings who passionately fuck their hot wives
He'll do fine.

>>92630218
>It's not just a "the studio brought me on and I read through a trade" thing, he's super into it.
This reminds me of Duncan Jones and the Warcraft movie.
Like all capeshit, i'll wait until the movie comes out.

>>92630194
Wan does good work.
He knows how to use a frame and get good performances out of his actors, which is more than can be said of folks like Whedon and Snyder.

>>92630047

Out of everything so far it has the best chance.

That being said it could still be fucked by studio meddling.

>>92630047
Warner Bros will find a way to majorly fuck this up, I just know it.

I don't want the DC movies to be bad, I seriously don't. But Warner Bros. are not making this easy for me.

>>92630358
It's honestly better to expect them to fuck up, because if they by some miracle manage to not do that, then you'll be presently surprised instead of disappointed.

>>92630148
I'd fug that Mera.

>>92630358
The only way they could fuck this up is to change Manta's motivation from hating Aquaman to actually having a goal outside of just fucking with Aquaman.

I hope they don't give Manta an actual taste for Atlantean flesh. It would be horrific, yes, seeing this seemingly ordinary man cutting up nigh-invulnerable fish-people just so he can eat them alive, but perhaps a bit too edgy all at once.

Manta: Typical Atlantean. Always trying to keep the Black Man-ta down.
Aquaman: We met after I failed to stop you from murdering several boats filled with African refugees.
Manta: I know, I just like saying that sentence (snaps Aquapuppy's neck)

>Manta thinks Aquaman is dead
>goes mute and works in a fish market
>sees that Aquaman is still alive on the news
>takes off his apron
>guts everyone in the store
>walks into the ocean
>comes out an hour later in full Manta gear
Sucks we might have to wait for a sequel to get a scene like this.

Hopefully they keep him alive and put him in Suicide Squad 2, just so we can get that bit about his ocular implants that make every target into Aquaman.

I fucking love how straight-facedly goofy Black Manta is.

I'd like to see Manta on a billboard with a big political style slogan for why Aquaman is to be hated.

"Let them in, Atlantis" about refugees. Even though as Arthur keeps trying to (in vain) point out:

a) Atlantis is many, many, many fathoms deep
b) It is underwater, so they'd have a hard time surviving down there
c) Even if you had submarines and scuba suits built to circumvent the above, it's so detached and different from land-based habitats that any skills the refugees have would be nigh-useless and they'd be competing in a very concentrated and controlled job market
d) Atlanteans don't take kindly to surface dwellers

Is Aquaman Rebirth any good?

>>92630455
I hope its a swerve race card. He says its for the people, but he admits in the climax that he just wants to take power from Aquaman, and the race thing made it easy to garner support. It makes an honest portrayal while also giving sympathy to his henchmen for just being naive and jingoistic. Fucking with Aquaman, and making a point.

>>92630585
It's good. Just good. But definitely worth a read.

>>92630582
hahaha that's great

>"WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST REFUGEES, AQUAMAN?"
>"YEAH, STOP BEING AN ISLAMAPHOBE"

>Thousands of Syrians just march into the sea and drown
>Cut to Black Manta smugly watching CNN while eating popcorn in a bathrobe, his helmet still on, while Aquaman gets harangued by the United Nations

>>92630585
It's a pulp political action-adventure thriller. It won't hit you with any "aha, I can meme this" or overly excellent or morbidly terrible content, but it's a nice read with several arcs all ready out.

>>92630516
>>92630554
stop, stop, my sides are already lost

>>92630585
It's pretty good. I need to get caught up, but what I've read has a lot of good Arthur/Mera shit in it.

Also his dynamic with the Justice League is a really good metaphor for his standing as a franchise alongside heavy-hitters like Batman and Superman.

>>92630582
Location issues.
Social structure issues.
The locals would lynch the niggers issues.

Art imitates life.

>>92630609
What would be funnier?

His helmet having a little slot where he shoots the popcorn in?

Or he just tosses the popcorn at his masked face and it simply bounces off.

>>92630609
You know, a supervillain could pull the same thing against Wonder Woman and the Amazons by pointing out how isolated their island is and how the only person ever allowed into Themyscira was a WHITE MALE.

>>92630653
Tossing the popcorn at his face over and over.

>>92630653
Have it bounce off the mask with manta looking down sadly before blaming aquaman for making him wear the mask in the first place.

I want a cup of coffee promo.

>>92630706
Nah, he'd just cry out his hatebon

>>92630442
Wouldn't that technically be cannibalism? I mean sure, Atlanteans aren't the same species but they're still humans.

>>92630763

>>92630775
But isn't Manta half anyways?

>>92630852
Manta makes up shit all the time for all we know he's from that island of black Kryptonians

>>92630653
Nah, helmet half off like spider-man/deadpool tossing popcorn to his exposed mouth. Or you know, mask full on, just smashing popcorn into where his mouth should be.
>hahaha! Fuck Aquaman.

>>92630879
I meant in the currrent canon, but sure, why not?

>>92630975

I like to think he's just so genuinely psycho that he believes any origin he just made up earnestly. Sort of like the Joker except instead of "Only if it's funny" it's "Only if it fucks with Aquaman/Gives me an excuse to fuck Aquaman's shit up". And also Manta is deadly serious and incredibly competent at what he does (Fucking Aquaman's shit up) instead of being gaaaaaaaaaay for Batman like the Joker.

>>92629975
I hope he doesn't talk like Hulk Hogan in the movie.

>>92630047

It's like night and day, anon. It makes a big difference when the director cares about what he's making and when the actors are passionate about being there.

That's why stuff like Guardians works so well; they have respect for what they're doing, it's not just "another job".

>>92636134
Black Manta only has one real aspect of backstory and personality. He hates Aquaman. That's it.
He REALLY fucking hates Aquaman. You think Luthor hates Superman?
If Aqua hated Superman half as much as he hated Aquaman Luthor would be fucking terrified of the lengths Manta would go to.
Everything there is to know about Black Manta is that he is a singularity of hatred towards one individual, and everything he does and thinks is directed toward the one goal of making said individual as miserable as possible.
If Manta thought killing himself would destroy Aquaman his arm would react independently and shoot him before the rest of his body would react, THAT is how much Manta hates Aquaman.

>>92629975
Now I'm gonna be sad when Manta doesn't drop the big elbow on Aquaman in the movie.
