DC HATES And Disrespects Aquaman 

He's so awesome in the comics. His trident is strong enough to pierce through Darksieds skin.

I'm still confused why water based heroes are seen as lame, Even namor has that issue, What is so funny about the water?

Anyone with an above elementary level intelligence should know that's a cool ability, because sharks are fish.

@@technounionrepresentative4274all of the fights taking place on land don’t help

Realistically he has one of the best powers ,imagine someone having his powers in real life.

Righteous

You mean "outrageous!"​@@paulwilliams5949

​@@paulwilliams5949you mean "Outrageous!"

​@@SecretMagician "Well Ahoy My Friends...."

I've seen some people say that MCU Thor should have taken the BaTB Aquaman route after Endgame instead of what we got in Love and Thunder. What are your thoughts?

Well said Aquaman is so many things and yet different from the rest for the reasons you mention.

That’s the 60s-80s versions. Adam west batman was at the same time

It’s robot chicken

@@Yourfat247 Robot chicken spoofed just about every superhero character they had and made them into jokes. Somehow, that characterization didn’t stick for Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, or the other superhero characters they did. Except Aquaman.

​@@Yourfat247 70's-80's. The 1967 series is an accurate comic depiction and the best one besides the Mamoa movie.

@@Yourfat247 To be fair, Adam West Batman was like the Batman of the Silver Age, except that Robin was more important. (West was a bit of a prima donna and didn't like sharing the spotlight with Burt Ward.) Batwriters reacted against the 1966 Batman show and Silver Age Batman in general pretty harshly in the 70s, creating the horror feel we all associate with Gotham today while also making Batman's villains go beyond Gotham, such as the new but so very ancient Ra's al Ghul. (Except for that weird futuristic period right after No Man's Land.) For Aquaman, he was never as useless in the comics as he is on Super-Friends. There's really no comparison. It's just an adaptation that wouldn't leave the public mind until Brave and the Bold at least, or if you're a stickler, the Aquaman movie.

Jason momoa

Aquaman 2 did well too

Exactly

@@turtleanton6539 which other Jason movie did well? basically he was known for a small role in game of thrones in which he's a rapist. Overshown by other characters. If Jason Momoa was the reason for the success than why the second didn't do well? FIrst Aquaman movie did well because it was written by Geoff Johns based on his epic run, the second was written by Momoa. Now make one plus one.

It did well because the movie was based on the epic Aquaman run by Geoff Johns, who wrote the story of the movie. It was very faithful to the origin of the character in New52. It also showed Aquaman in all his greatness as the non comic readers did not expect.

Ur not wrong, prolly his best adaptation till date, the only Aquaman I could get behind

I do like that version of him.

@@forestgrumpy119 New 52 was great

Great show. And great music cue from Aquaman.

Hell yeah my guy. Me too

No thank you to Snyder who made Aquaman in his universe a badass..untill Gunn came😂

​@@power279I think most of the credit should go to James Wan and Momoa as Wan directed the Aquaman movies and showed a more goofier and cooler side to him whereas in both Justice League movies he wasnt all that developed but was very much one of the most entertaining parts in two overall mediocre movies in my opinion

​@Kalel2.0 agreed

​@@Kalel2.0 Snyder castes him you dimwitt

​@@power279Synder ain't done any good shit for aquaman. It's everything that James Wan done in the first movie redeem the character.

Very true

It's not even a bad ability. Do you have any idea how many terrifying fish are out there?

@@oliveragag8576 exactly, image controlling megladon 😅

@@TheSsjJokermegaladons don’t exist, dolphins are better and scarier

@@Yourfat247 I know but it would be cool if they did tho, also yes dolphins are psychopaths lol

Tbf super friends was just cheesy in general but the other two yeah

Don't forget the Boys

He covered that in the first 60 seconds. Usually comments add SOMETHING

@@pedanticat9479the boys doesn’t affect dc characters

​@user-to4zl8wf2n You're right in a technical sense, but it is clear that the seven are a corrupted pastiche of the Justice League, and you can tell which character is supposed to be a fill-in. Add an already negative public perception, and I can see how this only worsens the issue.

If they promoted the King Arthur undersea angle better it would work for Aquaman 2 (Arthur Curry) and then throw back to his All-Star Squadron predecessor Adam Waterman in the golden age...it would be really cool to show that like Hal, Barry, Ray, J'onn and Dinah Laurel...he had a predecessor in the golden age too, meanwhile Wonder Woman and the Hawks are old enough to still be young and live through the golden and silver age all while Green Arrow and Arsenal got time tossed from silver to gold back to silver. Too bad they haven't reinstated the time tossing thing from the 1940's to present for the Shazamily yet and they really should.

Aquaman is a great character as Geoff Johns devised, badass reluctant king with a powerful wife at his side who is his equal. Unlike other heroes he does have to look at his back as his significant other is no damsel in distress. He is a great fighter, has the connection to the life force one of the elemental forces of the universe, Arthur is many things, a hero, a king, a husband and a father.

@@chrisgrech7992 Johns took a lot of that from what was back in the Bob Haney/Nick Cardy/Paul Norris/Mort Weissinger days and suped it up for the Nu52, because the Peter David reinvention in the late 1980's and early 1990's as nice as it was...he overdid it like what happened with Wolfman and Perez overdid it when rebooting Donna Troy to exist without Diana because Titans continued on after the Crisis and Wonder Woman did not getting the "Blank Slate who shows up after Jason Todd's already Robin" treatment which made no logical sense due to how the Titans are intrinscially linked to Wonder Woman via Donna being the one to name the team and them just gathering together on their own to stop a mega-powered Mr. Twister (and rule number 1 in comics, if your name sounds like you work for Carmen Sandiego, go find V.I.L.E.'s location if you like being a joke villain...because you probably do.) calling himself Anti-Thesis. Mera never was a DID. It was only because of the Filmation Cartoons goofing her up as Aqua-Lois that people forgot she's known as Aquawoman for a reason (even if she doesn't always use the codename), even when JL and Batman: TBATB (also based on the silver and bronze age Adventure comics) showed her actually being Aquawoman...and she got a better deal on Batman: TBATB since every other week was an Aquaman team-up...and even though episodes were airred Fridays at the time, we actually found out what day Aquaman team-ups are...and that so long as she and AJ get to play too, Mera's cool with it...and AJ actually got to make it out of training pants for more than one issue here! Also: Mera got a cool voice casting joke on Brave and the Bold. Sirena Irwin. Now when's it Jodi's turn?

Facts he is not batman they won't green lit the show,game

Well, maybe they hate everyone who ain't the Joker. More accurate.

@@jonbrewer297 Shut up if it's not batman the won't green li

​@@jonbrewer297it's batman. Their god. They would harm themselves if they couldn't have him in every movie, every game, every comic looking the best and making everyone else look stupid. Joker gets befits because of his proximity to their god batman. Same with Harley quinn

​@@jonbrewer297 Don't forget about Harley Quinn.

That's the sad reality we live in

Right now they'd have to do something with Aquaman first. I mean, they're doing more with his sidekicks right now. (Tempest had a major role in the last event, and this year's Pride special features Jackson Hyde visiting New Genesis.)

​@@jonbrewer297 they can do something. The Golden Age has been getting a fair amount of love...so let's do something with the All-Star Sqaudron's Adam Waterman. Make a movie or new one shot about why he fights *bear-handed*

It's like Scrappy Doo. His public image is totally damage via memes and, while the movie did make him look cool, people and WB will keep mocking him because "that's what everyone does"

@@FGenthusiast0052 Yeah, but people hated Scrappy in the 80s, so before the internet.

I dont't even get how that's a bad ability. Ordering a giant squid around sounds awesome.

@@oliveragag8576 Exactly, and he can even summon Krakens too

Scientology

​@@marcusrimson6330 and Cthulu is who just got told try again...Never! On the day Garth became Aqualad.

The joke is played out now because the perception of Aquaman has changed. It’s not really cool to make fun of him anymore, hence why I don’t see many (if any) jokes about Aquaman anymore.

Best ever Aquaman run ever.

He can also control fate and the past with it too and warp space time

So basically wish version of Flash timeline manipulation ​@@Corazon444-

I totally agree!

I loved the jason mamoa movie version and the DCAMU version too

I like all the looks but clean shaven looks the best to me.

I prefer aquaman with long hair and a beard. I maybe biased because I find guys with facial hair attractive.

All of the above, but I like him with the long hair and facial hair a lot more.

Short hair and clean shaven is more practical for swimming.

I think all looks can fit with the character's progression in universe. I will say, absolutely NO chin strap. It's either sideburns/mutton chops, beard, circle beard or clean shaven.

The problem with that is every other leaguer had other media to compensate. Aquaman didnt have any at the time outside of his original cartoon

True, so much stuff to work with. But underutilized by DC

In the 90s they had a whole run that didnt feature aquaman, showing Atlantis and its history from when it was founded till when aquaman was born. It was realy good

True. But even then he was heavily under utilised. Considering he is a founding member in the comics.

​@chiranjeevsaikia560 all because the rights of the Aquaman characters were tied to a failed CW pilot. It's strange how Warner Bros. have the rights to all DC characters, but because of weird networking, embargos, and disinterested producers, some characters barely showed up in shows or movies.

@@SecretMagician I know. But that was in JLU. He was still completely available in JL TAS. For starters they could've easily had him extend support to the other league members during the thanagar invasion. And we could've seen the armies of Atlantis aid the surface against the thanagar army. And yeah while the founding members were total 7, they could've definitely made it a roster of 8 members eventually, similar to what Avengers EMH did years later. That way Aquaman would've been more closely tied to the show. And maybe they would've relaxed on the embargo similar to how they did for Batman regarding the Bat Embargo.

@@chiranjeevsaikia560 company embargos are weird.

@@SecretMagician I heard that Wonder Woman had the same issue. Is that true?

I need that version of him as a skin in multiversus. Aquaman got leaked to be a character coming to Multiversus.

I agree WB makes the dumbest decisions and somehow they rarely if ever learn.

The dcamu was basically animated new 52, and the amount of characters they disrespect that isn’t Batman is just wow.

​​@@superherochestsymbol1032 at least the Tomorrowverse actually gave some respect to other characters though...and how nice that we can include Vixen as a founding league member...especially after JLU pretty much had her become the equivalent of Wonder Woman as an African American without doing the whole sibling rivalry schtick that pops up with Nubia, Thomas Jr., Morgan Edge, Cobalt and several others, but most frequently Ocean Master.

Didn't like the mcu version of namor. I prefer his og comic version, and namor came first.

Aquaman made him bleed with just one punch and hurt his jaw so i'd say he's in the same ball park in most arcs if not exactly on the same power level

That's actually pretty cool

Ah. The show written by dumb people to make fun of smart people appealing to dumb people. Surely they had a faithful knowledge about the comics

Well originally Adam Waterman had no limits on his powers and Arthur Curry was only allowed out of the water for an hour. Eventually though in 2022 they began experimenting that Adam Waterman had the hour-long limits as Arthur has a day limit out of sea since 1987. That said...I don't think either should be associated with being lame. Adam fights pirates, is a member of the All-Star Squadron, US Navy, a modified Triton and he fights *bear* - handed for any *polarized* views. You could even make his stories similar to the old Marine Boy anime...especially since it is known that Adam and Arthur actually would have fit better in the opposite eras of Earth-1 and Earth-2, but Barry caused them to swap.

Agreed

I love aquaman because of brave and the bold he peaked there for me.

I swear there's a rule they have to hate anyone whose family situation is more messed up than Batman's. So, Green Arrow as well. (Okay, to be fair, with Green Arrow, it's really just Roy they hate. But Roy comparing himself to Eva Braun is still pretty messed up.)

Agreed he was blonde like Arthur as well bro looked like the spitting imagine of him.

@kermitgotthesickkicks4265 I know right! Plus he could've done very well with a more serious Aquaman.v

Agreed
