They're trying so hard to make people care about Aquaman and that will never cease being hilarious.

Well they may not care about aquaman but girls sure do seem to love some Jason mamoa

Jason Momoa does seem like a pretty cool guy, though. Throws axes and doesn't afraid of anything.

If nothing else, it is my hope that Momoa will knock it out of the park, people will naturally like Aquaman, and then they won't have to try so hard.

They're giving him the Poochy treatment and it is pretty funny to watch. He needs to be introduced in the movie by bursting into the room on a skateboard and rapping about himself.

Aquaman has only ever been good in The Brave and The Bold, but that kind of self-aware humor would never be acceptable in the DCCU.

I saw an Ad for it on Tv earlier tonight, which might possibly be the strangest thing ever. They actually took time and money to advertise a free trailer that most of the world was gonna watch anyway.

But this time he's standing on a statue! That's new and exciting.

How does one go about making a character cool without turning it into the Poochy treatment, though? He's a character who does cool stuff in a movie full of characters who do cool stuff, if anything they are all Poochy.

John Wick of Dogs: Mar 4, 2017; A real hellraiser

The current Aquaman book is good. Him as a dual citizen who desperately wants peace between his two home countries that don't like or respect one another and having to deal with parties in both who want war, it's a really good take.

But...Plenty of people saw it. It made almost a billion dollars in theaters

Most people didn't like it.

That's not the fault of RT, that's firmly on the shoulders of the writer, director, producers, editors, and possibly some of the actors.

I mean

VanityFair posted:

Sure, the blockbuster made over $850 million worldwide in spite of negative reviews . . . but just think of how much more it could have made had it not had a Rotten Tomatoes score of 27 percent!

Sure. Let's think of hypotheticals.

Then maybe, you would have gotten a better rating because you would have been selling a better product.

Oh wait, I forgot. Marvel is the company that does "What If?"

Especially if the current universe and the What If universe diverged early on, like say in Iron Man 2, and the What If movie then had to tell a super condensed story of what happened differently throughout all the rest of the MCU movies since then.

Edit: Also, Spider-Man would obviously have to die.

BvS, a flawed but interesting movie with a slightly novel take on superheroes: 27% on rotten tomatoes.

Avengers 2, a subpar movie about the destruction of cars that might has well been produced for TV: 75% on rotten tomatoes.

Thor, a pretty bland movie that manages to to have not only Portman, but also Hopkins sleepwalk through the movie: 77% on rotten tomatoes.

Thor 2: Bland harder, who's only worthwhile contribution was Hiddleston: 66%

Doctor Strange, a movie where they copy pasted Tony Stark and gave him magic instead of tech and a sassy cape: 90% on rotten tomatoes.

Etc etc.

Basically, RT rewards conformity and cookie cutter movies in the superhero genre while eschewing movies that deviate from the formula.In fact, a common complaint of BvS was that it wasn't "as fun as Marvels movies!"

Now obviously I am not saying RT is responsible for BvS not becoming even more successful, but something is arguably wrong when bland poo poo like the Thors and loving Avengers 2 have twice the rating of BvS.

Edit: The audience rating of 63% is a more accurate rating imo. It's a rating that acknowledges a movies flaws while not entirely dismissing it because of them.
