I also imagine Kevin Feige's head is exploding about now. I'm sure he wanted everything to be about Thor this week, and NOT having to deal with a BP Namor leak. LOL!

Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?
My fear about MCU synergy seeping into the comics in the sad fact Marvel has left the 616 history of Atlantis so vague and empty it's practically begging to be replaced by a more concrete version that the MCU is going to present.
That is going to be a seriously BIG retcon. I mean, there's been tons of Neptune / Poseidon appearances. How the heck is that going to be reconciled?
The only way to do it is a variant.
And that's been my fear from the complete disappearance of Namor from Gillen's A.X.E. event. I wouldn't put it past them to kill off the Namor we know and love and replace him with a variant.

The full picture, which is clearly the one that was blurred out.
At least he has the wings.
Also an entirely true quote from someone on twitter:

He doesn't look bad at all, if you know who Namor is, you instantly know that's Namor. I'm just not a fan of the grafting of Mesoamerican culture over the Namor mythos, it just feels so cynical. This plus Namor being part of Panther 2, without Panther but instead Shuri and Riri "IronHeart". I just don't see it going well. I sincerely hope I'm wrong though.
I saw the designs here about an hour ago and 've been thinking what to say about them. Well... I sorta like Attuma's design, but Namor... Okay, I accept the Mesoamerican influence on MCU Namor, but please, no synergy between this and comics Namor, just noooooooo :_(

No, the pic and the costume doesn't look bad at all. Except for that damn goatee. Also, Huerta just isn't that big and ripped. That's a very complimentary pic.
Those are my problems with this also. Trashing Namor's 80+ years of history, appropriating the MesoAmerican culture -- as well as doing a Latin vs Black take, and Namor appearing in a Black Panther movie, where you know he's going to be trashed to boost BP. Namor is so much MORE than that, but that's all he's going to be so many people now.

I have a feeling Imp is out there somewhere like this after the confirmation of Namor:
Meanwhile, me and Rev:

Holy crap.
Okay, I'm never complaining about the bucket of spikes 'crown' that 60s Namor was put in.
What the heck is that supposed to be???

Okay, the translation of the tweet says Namor is the avatar of the Jaguar god. WTF???

What is that, where'd you get it?
The little good will I had just tanked.
I'm 95% sure the headpiece is a snake.
