Namor vs. Aquaman

If we use an interview that says the wood is as strong as vibranium, could we not also use that one interview where it was stated atlantians were about as strong as kryptonians?

Yes. And it's absurd both ways.

Director's commentary can be interesting to hear for extra insight of what was going through the movie maker's head, but even that isn't canon.

But quoting actors now is just abhi going full retard.

I wouldn't put off screen commentary above screen feats. Anyhow.

Flight and some speed are the only real advantage Namor has here, but I don't think it's enough to take down AM.

Now if Namor is "as strong as the Hulk" as M'Baku suggested, then Namor should take this, but he didn't show that level of strength on screen.

Eh, I think taking a beating from the kraken shows that hulk level strength alone isn’t enough to put art down

At least as strong as Thor according to Ryan Coogler. But will need more evidence of that.

He was clearly pretty strong by MCU standards though. Remember T'Challa BP floored Cull Obsidian (after absorbing enough kinetic energy). Whereas the new BP was completely outmatched in H2H even by a depowered Namor.

Namor has maneuverability on Aquaman if they are in a large open environment, Aquaman has maneuverability on Namor if they are underwater, Namor's vibranium spear is the better weapon over Aquaman's trident (unless I'm missing something about it being super-duper powered because it is the original Atlantean king's trident), Aquaman is head-and-shoulders over Namor in terms of strength and durability.

Giving it to Aquaman hands down, but Namor has a puncher's chance with the vibranium spear.

^ Thats fair. Kinda like in “What If” how Captain Carter seemed much stronger than Captain America.

But I think punching Cull was more about how much kinetic energy the suit could absorb and redirect.

I am curious why a lot of people are mentioning that namor’s vibranium speak is greater than the trident. Wasn’t it supposed to be a magical source of infinite energy and was stronger than his old trident which could cut through steel and space metal like butter?

^ I'm curious as well.
Vibranium lost its integrity when Thanos took it apart with his blade.
I'd say Aquaman's trident is the better weapon.
Even shuri survived it. It ain't doing nothing to AM.

AM beats the crap out of Namor.
