‘Justice League’: Aquaman Fans Won’t Like the Movie
The Cheat Sheet ^ | November 3, 2017 | Aramide Tinubu

Posted on 11/03/2017 1:40:11 PM PDT by EveningStar

Justice League is gearing up to rake in dough at the box office. The film will bring some of the most beloved and iconic superheroes altogether. Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg, and (hopefully) Superman are teaming up to save the world from evil, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Following the stunning success of Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, DC Films seem to have found its footing. Justice League will prove if the studio really has its mojo back or if Jenkins and Gal Gadot, who plays Diana Prince, are simply marvels on their own.

Leading up to the film’s release, DC has been dropping hints about what we can expect to see in Justice League. From some gorgeous colorful new posters to new footage from the films. It seems like with all of those last-minute reshoots and changes, and with Joss Whedon stepping in for Zack Snyder, Justice League might be a film that DC fans can stand behind.

However, Jason Momoa doesn’t exactly think fans will be thrilled — at least not with his character, Aquaman. This is why the Game of Thrones alum thinks Aquaman fans won’t be all that excited about Justice League.

Wasn’t the “Justice League” a Saturday morning cartoon?

Why did they make Aquaman look like a homeless bum?? What it too "politically incorrect" to cast him as the blonde, clean cut white guy he was drawn to be??

I think it was called the “Superfriends”.

Questioner: ‘So, Aquaman, what can you do?’

Aquaman: ‘Swim fast.’

Q: ‘Anything else?’

A: ‘Fish obey me.’

Q: ‘But the fish mostly just swim too?’

A: ‘Yeah. Guess so.’

Q: ‘OK, thanks. The trident’s cool though.’

The movie looks horrible anyway. I don’t know about Wonder Woman, but they built their universe on a termite-eaten foundation by building off of Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman.

Dave Chappelle did a great bit about Aquaman:

Well if the battles don’t happen at the aquarium Aquaman always runs into problems.

“Wonder Woman” has been the only entry in DCEU that I’ve enjoyed thus far.

I don’t want to say I’m an Aquaman ‘fan’ but I always kind of rooted for him among the JL.

It will be interesting to see how they deal with the underwater sequences. If you actually film underwater it can only look slow and...underwater. CGI will no doubt be used but then you get into CGI bubbles, hair flowing this way and that, etc.

Joss Whedon hates conservatives and Republicans like the plague. Of course he didnt want the blonde, white guy that every Aquaman fan knows.

Google joss whedon obama and you’ll get the message...

Zach Snyder directed the Justice league movie. He stepped away when his daughter died and Joss Whedon was brought in to do the obligatory re-shoots.

Just saw WW and was pleasantly surprised.

It wasn't a "I am Woman Hear Me Roar " flick and they didn't make the men complete incompetents and idiots.

There’s really such a thing as an Aquaman fan?
