Aquaman director James Wan: Stop harassing people who hate the movie "Be respectful," the Aquaman director tells crabby fans. Bonnie Burton. Enlarge Image. More Aquaman Jason Momoa's Aquaman is the superhero the world needs right now Aquaman post-credits scene, explained Aquaman review: Splashy oceanic epic is movie catch of the day.
The idea that Aquaman doesn't have any "real" powers is another big stumbling block for people. Most people think his only powers are swimming, breathing underwater and the aforementioned talking to fish.
None of those seem that impressive at first glance. But true fans know that Aquaman is more than just an underwater Doctor Doolittle. With his ability to swim to the bottom of the ocean, he's shown to have incredible power. To withstand the pressure of the ocean's depths, he's extremely resistant to damage. He also has superhuman strength. He can swim at high speed, can see in the dark and he has sonar. He also has a trident, which has magic powers capable of moving water, and calling down lightning.
His trident is even powerful enough to draw blood from Darkseid , something no one else in the Justice League was said to have ever done when it happened at the start of the New While Batman and Superman spent their time on the show fighting evil, Aquaman would stand in the background doing nothing.
Occasionally, someone would throw him a bone, and a bad guy would fall into the ocean for Aquaman to attack, but most of the time, he was useless. And now, that's how most people see him. It's important to remember that his weakness on "Super Friends" was more a fault of the writers than the hero. They simply didn't know what to do with him; so a lot of the time, they just wrote him out. With a little imagination, however, Aquaman could have been a major force. Besides, a lot of superheroes didn't turn out too well on "Super Friends.
It's time to move on. When you think of great superheroes, their origin is part of their mystique. For example, with Spider-Man , the fact that his uncle died at the hands of a mugger gives him a tragic pain. Unlike Spidey, Bats or Superman, though, Aquaman's origin isn't as well-known, but it is just as tragic. In his first appearance in "More Fun Comics" 73 , Aquaman explained he was the son of a scientist who discovered Atlantis.
The scientist used Atlantean technology and training to teach his son to breathe underwater and survive in the ocean. The modern versions have Aquaman as the son of an Atlantean queen and an Atlantean sorcerer who's abandoned and lives wild in the ocean until he is taken in by a lighthouse keeper.
He returns to Atlantis to become the ruler of Atlantis. Because of the retcons and reboots, even diehard fans of Aquaman have struggled with his origin, making it less iconic, perhaps, and thus not part of the fierce memory of fandom.
One reason superheroes are popular is wish fulfillment. People dream of being super-strong like the Hulk or being a billionaire one-man army like Batman.
Arguably, not as many people dream of living in the ocean. Breathing underwater, swimming to the ocean floor: these may be exciting ideas, but for some reason, they don't capture the imagination of as many readers as the ability to fly or have adventures in space. If you really think about it, however, Aquaman lives a life unlike any other superhero.
Past a certain point, very few humans have been that deep in the ocean. We literally have no idea what exists in certain depths of the sea. It's a world ripe for imagination, with the potential of stumbling across lost civilizations and sea monsters.
The best part is that Aquaman rules it all. As the king of Atlantis, he's not just a billionaire, but a leader of an entire underwater civilization. He's the only member of the Justice League who's a member of royalty. That has to count for something! Another perceived problem with Aquaman is his costume. The latter story even introduced a new motivation for Manta, as he sought vengeance against the Crime Syndicate for destroying his father's grave. He's built a career on hating Aquaman.
By Jesse Schedeen Posted: 21 Dec pm. Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry is pretty busy in the Aquaman movie. In addition to battling his jealous brother Orm -- a. Ocean Master -- for control of the Atlantean throne, Aquaman will also be battling Black Manta, an armored sea pirate harboring a particularly nasty grudge. Matt Luck. Aquaman IS awesome! Especially his New 52 version. He just didn't connect with mass audiences. He protects the sea and mostly didn't like people. Featured post Avengers 4: Give Good Time.
