The better Aquamans do not call attention to the fact that he is "Aquaman". At the minute you acknowledge that the character is a joke, it's over. No matter how hard you work to fight against that, you've already admitted to me that nobody cares.

If you can't call attention to him being Aquaman, what's the point of being Aquaman? Besides, sometimes we get moments like this:

Namors not hot in the same casual way as Aquaman, like they're both Kings but Namor has a stick up his rear end about it. He's all "I am a true scion of Atlantis" and Aquaman is all "I've done plenty of sighin' in Atlantis too"

What's the dividing line between Aquaman being a good "badass" character and Aquaman being a bad "badass" character.

I know people like the Peter David Aquaman and Grant Morrison Aquaman and the DCAU Aquaman, who all go out of their way to try and "redeem" the character, but most people find the scowly "I don't talk to fish :mad:" Aquaman very aggravating. What sets the two apart?

IMO, a good badass Aquaman takes notes from Thor in the first Thor movie. He's confident, he's powerful, he's a huge goof, but also respectful when he senses he should be (think of that diner scene for a good example of this).

Get Lin-Manuel Miranda in to re-write all of Aquaman's lines as a hip-hop musical. No other characters sing, but no one acknowledges that Aquaman does, simply carrying on conversations with him as normal.

These are apparently the story details of the Sable / Black Cat movie. No Spider-Man, but it introduces Chameleon, Kraven, Scorpion, Tarantula, Robot Master, Jessica Drew and Norman Osborn. Basically cutting out a bunch of future sequel ideas for the MCU movies.

I'm guessing it's BS

quote:

“Here are some details about the story: Seven years after Mendel Stromm (a.k.a. Robot Master) and his two henchmen (The Scorpion and The Tarantula) killed her father, Silver Sable is hired by the government to find Felicia Hardy. The Black Cat, a master hacker and thief, has apparently stolen valuable secret information. She’s hiding in the lawless and dangerous triple frontier area between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.

Once there, Sable ask her old contact Dmitri Smerdyakov (a.k.a. The Chameleon) to locate her. But it seems, the government are not the only ones looking for the Black Cat. It seems Felicia had made a deal Stromm to save her father from a Russian prison and she’s been genetically enhanced. Now, the mad scientist wants his prized experiment back because his financier (cough Norman Osborn cough) wants a return on his investment.

There’s no appearance or mention of Peter Parker or Spider-Man.

Also in the story: Dominic Fortune, Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman), Roxxon Oil, Sergei Kravinoff (Kraven the Hunter), Lonnie Lincoln (Tombstone) and Charles Standish.”

How would it cut out sequels for the MCU movies? Marvel studios has never owned Spider-Man film rights and still doesn't. They are just co-producing Homecoming and the Homecoming sequel.

Sony has already pretty much stated that after the Homecoming sequel they are taking Spider-Man back to being exclusive to Sony movies.

Yeah it reads like fan fiction and normally would be completely ignored, but I could see Sony being incompetent enough to do it

I assumed that these movies would have no connection to the new Spider Man series, so those characters and Venom won't show up in future sequels.

You said it yourself, he's enough Spider-Man to be distinct from Batman, and enough Batman to be distinct from Spider-Man.

Also, he's never, ever going to be in a big budget movie.

I think the weirdest part of this is the inclusion of Dominic Fortune. Has he ever been considered a Spider-Man character? Would Sony even have the rights to him?
