Starting with what?
Onyx was never in the damn script and she would never have the connections to know.
Damn. 100% Babs will be involved in the future. Wonder if Onyx is being saved for the BoP's own movie, too. Black Mask, BoP, Cass and Harley already has the movie stacked, without potential surprises.Valerie knows some of the same people I know. She was in the script and cut (along with Babs).
Seeing this TV spot reminds me how much I miss serious tone trailers from DC movies.
Now I ask, is it a thing that characters/plots/locations were cut from a movie during scripting?
Hmm, just thought of something. Since BoP will be coming out before The Batman, Yan is gonna have control over what Gotham looks like. I know we had a little bit of it in BvS and JL, but those were small sections which can easily be avoided. I hope her and Reeves kinda worked out who's taking what area so they don't conflict with one another. I'd be cool to see the same locations in different movies as a reference point.
From the sounds of things, Reeves' Batman is in the past, while BoP is present day. So something like ten to fifteen years, the flavor of the city can change. Just look at Manhattan.
No the hell l it wouldn't have. Yates films look worse than WhedonsYates should have been the guy WB got to reshoot JL, at least it would have looked all right

lolyeah. Fuck Yates and his ability to take the magic out of Harry fucking Potter. I'll take Whedon over him any day.lolno. Yates does have a bland style to him but at least they are slightly cinematic whereas Whedon might make the ugliest films in all of Hollywood. man was born to film for network television.
I might be alone in this, but does anyone else find the preoccupation some have with Aquaman/Jason Momoa being a "bro" to be corny as fuck? It comes as a bunch of nerds being mad at jocks or some shit like that. Especially when a lot of those same folks are all about that frat boy/jock type humor and personality when it comes from like a Seth Mcfarlane or Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.

They wanna talk that kind of shit but they're too soft to actually fuck people up in real life.I might be alone in this, but does anyone else find the preoccupation some have with Aquaman/Jason Momoa being a "bro" to be corny as fuck?

They fixed Thor.If we didn't have Aquabro I feel like the character would have been in serious danger of becoming the DCEU's own version Thor (pre-Ragnarok), a great physical presence but otherwise completely dull and forgettable. Momoa has brought a lot of fun and personality to Aquaman that I think works really well.
Maybe. I just feel like there is this weird resentment of what some would call "bros" despite the fact that the only "broish" thing Momoa has done as Aquaman is that scene of him drinking in Justice League. If woohoo-ing cause he's having fun with his powers is being a bro, then every version of Spider-Man we've gotten is a bro.They wanna talk that kind of shit but they're too soft to actually fuck people up in real life.
Probably.
Not only that, but it absolutely fits with the kind of character they want Arthur to be. I've heard people complain about Arthur not being regal enough. Well, if they're going off of Geoff Johns' Aquaman, then he's not supposed to be. Probably the most prominent thing about Arthur's character in Johns' run and even now post-Rebirth is that he doesn't see himself as a king and doubts if he's cut out for the job. He's a simple lighthouse keeper at heart thrown into something far beyond him.If we didn't have Aquabro I feel like the character would have been in serious danger of becoming the DCEU's own version Thor (pre-Ragnarok), a great physical presence but otherwise completely dull and forgettable.

They either have some weird resentment from high school or tryna go extra hard to be "woke". Or both.
So it's not just me. It's honestly been bothering me since the lead up to Justice League.It is pretty weird how it's spun as a negative. It does read like they've a chip on their shoulder.
I've known and been friends with dudes like Jason Momoa. Been saying since he was cast I wanted them to lean into his natural personality rather than Aqua-Khal Drogo/Conan and they've done exactly that.
Was just checking Twitter and man, people seem super down on Aquaman all of a sudden.
It'll be interesting to see what things are like when the social media embargo is up.
Really? Interesting. I did the same thing about an hour ago and got a ton of negative tweets, largely from people seeing the commercials.Correct.
Where? I just searched "Aquaman" and Latest and Top tweets are largely positive.
The DC cinematic brand will be tested again with the universe's first chapter since last year's Justice League under-performed. A strong contingent of fans are excited for this character's first big-screen solo adventure, while Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and the ensemble cast should help translate to fair appeal among both men and women.
Social buzz thus far is comparable to Ant-Man and the Wasp, although a less front-loaded run is likely given the time of year. Reviews and word of mouth, as always, will be key for the comic book adaptation, but Aquaman is effectively looking to serve as the top option for moviegoers interested in an action-driven spectacle around the holiday break.
I'm talking about ERA and to an extent old GAF. There was literally no need to pull all that out lolThor: Ragnarok – Why is every Marvel hero now a quip machine?

Thor point: Marvel needs to get back to edge-of-your-seat drama, not comedy
Sometimes it feels like y'all want to be sad and down about the DCEU. Aquaman is coming. The response so far is largely positive.

Early Aquaman Screening Scores Positive Reactions
There were some bad movies. This hurt confidence in the brand. This is not a DCEU only thing; look at how folks are now turning on Bethesda due to Fallout 76. (Or Star Wars.) The world doesn't have it out for us. Good films will turn it around. I've always said, for a very long time... trust James Wan. Shazam could go either way, but I feel solid about it. Trust Jenkins with WW84. And calm down.
It'll be fine. Things will be fine. (Unless the movies aren't good.) I honestly think the biggest problem WB will have will not being able to use Phoenix' Joker in the DCEU. That's probably a good problem to have.
