I think he just plays with a huge and immaculate model train set and adjusts numbers in a spreadsheet to maximize its efficiency and if anyone interrupts train time he makes high pitched dog noises and flaps his hands around autistically

Aquaman as a horror film. Lovecraftian-type monsters are rising from the sea, killing people in some peaceful ocean front community, hollowing out their bodies and wearing them like clothing, trying to build a secret empire to branch out.

Aquaman rolls into town like Kyle Reese/Terminator, needing to track them down and kill them and protect and team up with some semi-name metahuman with powers.

i don't want to see aquaman on land at all. he should be in the sea the whole time, punching sharks and fighting giant monsters and hanging out in underwater cities

apparently kurt busiek's run on aquaman is a bit like that but busiek is so fuckin dull i can't bring myself to read it

Definitely.

You can feel he wanted to hinge the entire movie on that moment. Two enemies finding this unexpected connection in the middle of a fight. The childlike innocence and purity of their love for the mothers brought to the fore during a bloody fight of inhuman brutality where the city itself shakes in fear.

The audiences' minds are blown. Oh. My. God.


If only it wasn't in such a mediocre movie with such terrible direction that everyone just laughed at them instead.

We'll get a good Aquaman movie if Jason Mamoa breaks down on set constantly, forcing the filmmaker to come up with clever ways of depicting Aquaman without showing him.

I'll give it this, Marvel knows how to gamble. People didn't expect Thor, Guardians Of The Galaxy, or Ant Man to be huge successes. Warner Bros. and DC have mostly played it safe, focusing largely on established characters with franchises like Batman and Superman. Wonder Woman, is probably their biggest risk right now, despite that character's iconic perception, there hasn't been a live action rendition for decades now. Depending on how WW movie goes will affect the rest of the DCEU.

Suicide Squad is really more of a Batman movie without Batman or, probably more appropriately given the marketing, a Joker movie.

They tried to get a TV show up and running a few years ago but it obviously didn't work out (on account of it being awful)
Here's the full unaired pilot episode

There's been other terrible attempts at a live action Wonder Woman in the past:

"The hoof transmitters on the burro are all go, Steve"

This 1967 concept test pilot was an attempt to copy the popularity of the 1966 Batman TV series which also turned out to be an awful, awful idea.

That would have been fine if they had done any sort of groundwork to show that this Batman was ok with offing dudes. Even just a couple lines about how he walked the righteous path for years but he just couldn't do it any longer. Instead they just said gently caress it and had him chaingun dudes on city streets, knife mans in the head or whatever and shoot mofos in the Mad Max future. I think it would have been a better story if Batman was still adamant about not killing, but he was willing to kill Superman because of the threat he represented, the lack of sure containment methods and the fact that Superman isn't human. Earth first, xeno scum.
