What does the visual spectacle have to do with the (lack of) box office draw for the actors playing Black Manta and Orm vs. Wiig as Cheetah?
WW was a stronger film than Aquaman in all other areas. Aquaman was more fun but it was also kind of dumb. Ideally, we can get great stories with in-story reasons to build spectacular visual set pieces, but if it comes down to a choice, I'd rather a stronger character driven movie that doesn't require me to shut my brain off a bit.
