I'd love that.

Just saw the video. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that they're changing his powers to suit their own need. Shame, but it's not like they've been that desperate to stick to the comics before, so...

So there sticking more to the comics?

He looks like he's flying underwater, not swimming.

Aquaman swims (or rides a seahorse). He can propel himself forward at great speeds sure, but he's not like Superman that has his own internal propulsion.

So either they're changing it for stylistic reasons, or someone just didn't do the research. Either way it's not how it should look.

Honest question:
Have you felt this way/groused about every difference/liberty taken with every comics character brought to the screen?

Nope; some I think were done quite well actually.

I thought so.

Moving on.

oh. i thought he was swimming... kinda like a mermaid.

i seriously doubt they give him flight. Although, based on a scene from the teaser trailer, it looks like they might give him Mera's control over water.

Even mermaids would move their tails more, imo.

I'm not saying they gave him flight; just that their way of showing how he moves underwater is more akin to flight than actual swimming.

I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him the water powers though; not in the slightest. It's a common misconception about the character.

Yes, because theres ever only been one way to present the character:

Had to go back in the pages to remind myself; i forgot how bound and determined you are not to like this movie.
While it speaks to your passion re: the character it sure is a buzzkill. 😛

No. I actually want to like the movie. They just keep changing shit.

Hopefull we get a Momoa montage to DCs Aquaman

ah, i see what you mean. Well, it was test footage, right? Lets hope its better in the final version.

I didnt mind the waterbearer powers, tbh. But yeah, its one of many things people get wrong about him.

I liked Ant-Man just fine, as they at least tried to give Hank Pym some love. I just want them to do at least something of the same for Aquaman.

Yeah waterbearer was good enough.

TBH, I just hope the movie is good. I know I'm going to complain about a lot, but I'm someone that found something to like from BvS and SS; Aquaman shouldn't really be any different.

I just want Aquaman to be like he was on the old Superfriends cartoon

I want him to be like he was in the Pad Run in the 90's or the JL Toon.

ya know....BADASS AND COOL!!!!!!!

Pad run?....sounds like something else.
