    And much like all the other popular things I hate, I don't care. (Again, it really wouldn't be as bad if there weren't so many people saying that this is "making Aquaman cool.")

    I dont get the Aqua-hate either.

    Orin has always had a swagger to him and a fierce temper. And he's usually a little rough around the edges until he's spent so much time on the throne those edges get worn away.

    If Mamoa had short blonde hair and was clean shaven, and wearing an all-orange shirt, you wouldn't hear people whining like they are.

    Frankly, Jason Mamoa would look weird as all heck with blonde hair. That's not what the man looks like.

    "Sexy as shit?" I have some pretty wild tastes myself but I never went in for "scat." I know there are others that feel differently but I don't find shit to be sexy at all.

    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or if you're just unfamiliar with slang. I'd bet on the former

    Gustin's Flash started out as a mild jokester, which I also think Barry is to some degree, just not like Wally. It got toned down in later seasons, but then being The Flash was less fun for him so he was understandably more serious.

    Miller, to me, totally comes off as trying to be intentionally humorous or comedic, at least in how the actor is portraying him if not in the actual context of the character's personality.

    He definitely looks more regal in still shots.

    I also don't think he's the King of Atlantis yet. We still don't really have a lot of context for his relationship with Atlantis and how this will tie back to the Aquaman solo.

    I think this depends a lot on the kind of Aquaman people have read and/or envisions as the "ideal" take on the character, since there have been a few different takes.

    Obviously Momoa is taking a lot from the PAD take, even if he's also veering into his own thing with it that one could also construe as being a riff on Brave and the Bold Aquaman.

    I think Jason will make a fine Aquaman, however the more traditional silver age Arthur is my personal favorite.

    And I'm a Post Crisis fanboy for life. I personally feel that this *is* Aquaman, and that the Solver Age costume isn't as impressive.
    Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?

    I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP

    Well, I think orange chain/scalemail is a little more striking then your typical shirtless Superhero look, but different tastes and all that .

    Momoa's costume in this movie is also a lot more "classic" then what he was wearing in BvS.

    Aquaman's classic look is a pretty fantastic design, tbh.

    Momoa looks like Lobo.

    I would say Marvel has a larger pool of villains then DC since Marvel had more books coming out over the years.

    Really? It's not as awful as many people claim, but it is kinda generic. As a kid, I would always confuse him with Flash Gordon.

    We definitely know he's not King of Atlantis in JL. James Wan said that the solo movie is also before his rise to the throne. He and Mera aren't married or even in love when the movie begins. Their relationship is going to grow within the movie.

    My guess is that the solo ends with him taking the throne.
    Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    --Lord Alfred Tennyson--

    Wait, we know he's not King in JL? What's he doing underwater in Atlantis then? And why are Mera and Vulko included but not Atlanna, Orm and Manta? Mera is even wearing her crown.
