Kinda interesting that "your United Nations" implies that Atlantis has not been recognized as a legitimate state by the international community. Given that it has existed for like, decades in the Marvel Universe continuity.

Also where these strips written before or after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill?

Because stopping all seaborne trade would lead to global chaos.

Also he started with absurd ultimatums and violence and is just now (presumably) going to try negotiation.

Well, to be a part of the UN you have to sign a bunch of paperwork, and they only accept signatures in standard ink.

Makes it kinda hard for an underwater nation to join up.

Please let the next issue be Spidey trying to convince the security man at the front of the UN to let he and Namor in without namebadges, while Namor fumes in the background.

Did they film this entire movie in like 2 days (with a 3 hour shooting block on each day)?

Because I'm starting to see why that dude's studio isn't doing so well.

It doesn't take long when you just set up a camera and have people act out a full scene and then move on to the next one.

You can't expect Spider-Man to remember lines. Just have to let him do stream of consciousness and film it and then stitch it all together in the editing room.

Seriously, that era of the strip blew through the entire filming of a movie in the time it took the later era to deal with whether or not someone would walk across the deck of a cruise ship to talk to Namor.
