Lol Aquaman's biggest weakness is probably those plastic rings that keep cans of soda together. Trash.

Look, we know he has the potential to be a good hero. But SuperFriends' "This looks like a job for Aquaman!" is comedy gold. I wouldn't trade that for another movie the quality of The Dark Knight.

It's a hokey persona. If they had made him something special back in the 1950s and had stuck with it through to today, he could be right up there with the best of them. But when you have a show which repeatedly finds excuses to place the bad guys in the water just so that he can do something, it makes you realize just what a bad persona it really is to have.

We don't care that he's Superman who talks to fish. We enjoy joking about how useless he is outside of the pool. It's not like he's a real person, so I don't have to worry about his hurt feelings. I hope Jason Momoa's film goes well for him, but I'm always gonna see Aquaman as a punchline because that's the Aquaman I choose..

It just looks like a job for him.

He's calling Beast Boy, Robin, Cyborg, and Poison Ivy a joke, so not really.

Changeling in the comics is great, tbqh.

they did. in the comics. he was always like this. you just refuse to read the comics, the actual source material, and would rather joke at some jokes on tv that are ignorant

Super Friends keeping him in the water has nothign to do with the comics. he doesn't talk to fish.

he is not useless outside the of the pool. you have no idea what you are talking about.

no you could not. your fist would shatter when you threw the first punch. he would just stand there and you would punch, and the moment your hand hit him, every bone in your hand would break and you'd fall to the ground screaming

the comics are literally the end all and be all. it's the bible for the characters. and the movie is based on the comics, not family guy

Family Guy
Robot Chicken

Lol imagine thinking his movie is going to be good. Everything about it looked bad. James Wan said he didn't feel comfortable releasing a trailer until the CGI was perfect. If that's perfect CGI to them then fucking LOL

yes

anyway, people like skye reynolds think that his powers are new or something and that DC is trying to make him cool. but he was always like that. this is just the first time for most people that they have been encountered with a showing of him that isn't a dork. because for most of history he was just in the comics, and on shows that made fun of him. now finally a show is taking him seriously and these people are all confused and don't understand

yea and it's not him. Aquaman is probably at least as strong as like The Thing maybe from Fantastic Four. I don't know. but I know he could smash your car. and then throw the wreckage so far away you couldn't even see it anymore

The lack of a solo adaptation outside of the comics speaks volumes about Aquaman's worth as a character. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel (Shazam), Incredible Hulk, X-Men, the Flash, Swamp Thing, Fantastic Four, and Iron Man all had shows, live action or animated, outside of the comics.

This isn't a great series written by an unknown publisher. This is a comic made by one of the biggest companies out there. If Aquaman had great villains and mind-blowing stories, we would've seen them adapted a lot sooner.

Most perceptions of Aquaman are rooted in the Silver/Golden age version of him, which was a joke. People made jokes about Aquaman well before Family Guy/Robot Chicken did.

well when the movie comes out, hopefully that changes their minds. even if they refuse to see it, word of mouth will get to them and they might still be stubborn and never watch it but deep down they will know they were wrong, when most of the world starts liking Aquaman
