I keep forgetting people don't actually give Aquaman the benefit of the doubt. Shame on me.
A) I'm all for diversity in comics, just not at the expense of established characters (I.E. Human Torch)
B) Again, Mamoa really hasn't been good in much of anything excluding GoT. This compounds the casting choice even more. If Mamoa was a great actor, this issue wouldn't be as controversial.
As far as giving it a fair shake? As I said this movie is just as likely to be good as it is a trainwreck; time will tell.
