Popped in to see how things were going. I'm not sure about the 'CGC' you mention ( :baiting: ).

Shut up.  Not even worth my time to go back and correct itlol.

 

You picked the wrong time to go on hiatus.  I can't keep up with all the trailers dropping from SDCC and have to research it myself.  So much for relying on you:baiting:.

I will be going to see aqua-man movie ❤️‼️

Me too.  He's the most boring character in comics but in the JLA movie I wanted to know more about him, and what they are going to do with his back story.  He and Wonder Woman are really interesting characters in the movies.

I was somewhat excited after Justice League, and somewhat less enthused now.  Its probably gonna need an 80% RT to get me to see it at the theater, which I don't think its getting.

 

Cool stuff - Mera looks pretty pretty awesome actually (her hair has been very red in comics in the last few years), and Black Manta will probably be the best part.  I generally like James Wan stuff, he usually makes entertaining stuff with style.

Bad Stuff - Looks like its gonna be too much (non-perfected underwater) CGI, and the lighting was always going to be problem.  Its not clear that they've solved that issue.  Tonally, DCEU has only gotten it right one out of 5 times so far (WW, though MOS and SS weren't too far off), I'm not convinced they've got it right on this one either.

Good:

- Looks like a lot of action

- I like the bright colors and humor

 

Bad:

- CGC was a bit off.  Hope they will clean it up (specifically the fish in the aquarium scene)

- The shark "roars"???

- "Underwater" communication and action is exactly like it would be on land...(shrug).  They didn't do anything special with it.

 

It felt like an extension of the Justice League trailer.  A lot of good potential.  Just not quite there yet.

I was looking forward to seeing what they did with underwater talking as well...thought I saw Wan teasing something unique some months back..?

All the underwater stuff reminded me of Finding Dory.

and down goes Alita; leaving BumbleBee and Mary Poppins to contend with

Honestly, both Mary Poppins and Bumblebee should beat Aquaman at the box office.

I would expect Mary Poppins to win of the three with Bumblebee edging out Aquaman.
