Well, the past Aquaman films didn’t look too good either.

I just feel bad for the people who worked on the new one. I’m sure they worked super hard on it, but compared to what Cameron did with actual water tank filming, and what Del Toro did shooting dry for wet, the trailers look terrible.

No they looked really good but they definitely weren’t very good.

I went in with no expectations this year, and being a fan of basically all the marvel movies in some aspects and the earlier DC films. I was actually legitimately mad that people still talk fondly of aquaman. Maybe I’m slightly biased as Nu52 Aquaman was basically the only comic series I read at that point but the movie was legitimately awful.

If James Gunn has an ounce of sense he’ll go “Hey Jason! So… lemme tell you about this character called ‘Lobo’…”

He’s to pretty to be Lobo. Danny Trejo would be an obvious choice. Or Ron Perlman. But they are to old now.

Considering Colin Farell was the penguin in Batman there’s nothing makeup artists can’t do these days.

Good point. And considering that, anybody cold play Lobo. Give Taylor Swift fake pecks and acting lessons and she could pull it off. I have no point.

All good points, tangentially I feel it’s important to mention though that the key to this film is going to be the design of the bike. It needs to be Keaton era Batmobile or Tumbler level exciting to reallly land it properly.

Being a heterosexual dude, I don’t consider myself knowingable on male beauty standards, so I might be wrong.

Right‽‽‽ We need a good antihero movie and a Lobo film has been a long time coming. Momoa could pull it off, too.

Good tbh.

Super hero films basically need to die at this point, or at least be reimagined.

At this point they’re just bad. They don’t have to be, but they are.

Edgar Wright said a similar thing recently: that the best thing they could do with superhero films is take a break, and wait for audiences to become excited about them again.

That’s what marvel should have done after Endgame. Wait at least 5 years before releasing anything new. Instead Disney does wha tit always does and saturated the market with subpar media.

Jason tried his best but really they need to get an actor in who suits the role. Like Michael Cera perhaps.

They need the actor that played Beans on Even Stevens.

That movie was hot garbage. Can totally understand how the sequel doesn’t get much traction.
