I hope WB/DC doesn't force it if Gunn isn't interested
I would argue that Harley (and Joker) aren't necessary for Suicide Squad sequels, especially with Harley having BoP (and hopefully Sirens) as her group. I liked the idea of Vixen or perhaps Killer Frost or both sort of replacing her as the female lead.

Nice to see you enjoyed it. Where would you rank it?I can see where people took issue with the humor in Aquaman. Oddly, I thought the lines themselves were funny but the timing was off so they didn't hit quite right.
Anyway, brief thoughts. Overall pretty good. Very impressive CG output. Kidman scenes had me tearing up a couple of times. Found it kind of funny how every mellow scene was followed by a pause and then explosion. Manta was cool. Orm had more potential but kinda fell flat. Arthur and Mera were good. Final shot was cheese.
Can't believe we had a "bad smell joke" where the hero smells himself and agrees. In 2018. I don't know how that didn't get cut.The humor in Aquaman is even worse than it is in NuWars, but the worst of it all is all contained in the Sahara section (which should have been cut entirely).
That "swamp butt" line was something else

All the upcoming DC films should be decent or good. Can't stop, won't stop.
I really wonder if WB is kicking themslves over priotizing Fantasic beasts over flash.
I don't believe it.Hmm, haven't done a ranking in a while. Let's see...
Man of Steel
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
Batman v Superman
Suicide Squad
Justice League
That one got a big laugh at my showing. One of the few to get any laugh at all.
People love to hate on that third act but I thought that was awesome. Need more of that in comic book movies IMOWonder Woman raging in the third act after Steve dies is like a Top 5 moment for me. Nothing in Aquaman came close.

Remember when we thought it was gonna possibly sink against the competition?
I still say the only thing that makes the third act "bad" is that the Ares reveal is not better woven into the plot. Sure they talk about him a lot, but you're led to believe that it's just a myth Diana is clinging onto because she doesn't want to accept the truth about man's world. So when he is revealed, it's like "WTF wait...."Wonder Woman raging in the third act after Steve dies is like a Top 5 moment for me. Nothing in Aquaman came close.

Yeeted on them goofy movies.
(On some real shit though, browsing Youtube reveals that this movie's success makes some people very, very mad. The salt is crazy and has people making 20 minute diatribes on how it's no good and DC Films is still a failure and yadda yadda. It's weird.)

That said, the end fight is serviceable, Steve's sacrifice and Diana's rampage are great, and Diana's ultimate conclusion about love works with her character in the film. So many of the third act complaints feel like people reaching for any reason to dislike the movie.
Truly.
About to check out aquaman in an hour
It'll be good to see everything finally in context
Yo, it's all over my youtube as well. And I'm mad at Double Toasted giving it the ratings they did. They were too harsh on the film in areas they forgive other movies for.Remember when we thought it was gonna possibly sink against the competition?

That's awesome! What was your favorite moment? And how was it working on this vs JL?

But, hey, it's hitting a billy so it's obviously resonating with audiences.

Momoa is still a weakish link, but Aquaman looks fantastic. James Wan getting his upgrade with this film.
And Shazam! I've always had a fondness for the Big Red Cheese and the film looks like it's fun as hell.
DC is fully into the game now. Aquaman, Shazam, and WW84 will probably be great too.
