Arthur Curry/Orin/Aquaman - The King of the Seven Seas appreciation 2021

[Gaius]

[Frontier]

Now there's a contrast...

So according to this report from newsarama, Arthur is apparently going into semi-retirement and letting Jackson be Aquaman so that he can raise Andy....so basically kind of what happened in the Young Justice cartoon in season 3 (Kaldur took over so that Arthur could be a better King, Father, and Husband).

Sidekick for, like, a year and then jumping straight to main hero status. Jackson moves quickly .

I don't think Arthur needs Batman's help to train his protege. Why does it always default to Batman?

I guess retiring so you can take care of your kid is reasonable...although I don't think he absolutely had to, and it doesn't seem like it sticks going by that upcoming mini with Green Arrow.

I didn't even read the solicit, because it's Aquaman and GA I'm gonna buy it anyway, but might the mini take place in the past? Or even on another Earth?

Y'all liking the stealth suit?

It seems like part of the reason the comic even exists is to honor the characters' anniversary, so I'm not sure what the wider continuity implications will be.

Stealth suit referencing Aquaman's blue costume is pretty awesome .

Think I finally get what’s off putting beyond just the art style: this is leaning hard into “Aquaman sure is a joke isn’t he lol” attitude which clashes with how the movie sincerely embraced him as cool. Makes it feel jarring given the two are supposedly in the same universe.

[Frontier]

I...I don't know what to say.

I'm surprised Black Manta isn't in this.

[Robanker]

I was hoping it'd be a silly, fun show but I guess I shouldn't be surprised they're going to portray Arthur as an ineffectual boob to accomplish that goal. Sucks.

Well, don't expect everyone else to be much better .

Yeah. I don't think this one will be for me. I was optimistic when key art dropped, but outside great word of mouth I may just pass.

Ram V’s Arthur is sooooo good. Also, I wouldn’t mind him making a permanent switch to JLD for a bit.

Nice to see Aquaman's powers on full display .
