I wouldn't say he was OVERpowered. You have to remember everything in this timeline is shifted and slightly different. There's no reason those ripples couldn't have had other effects, for example making Wonder Woman weaker, and making Aquaman stronger. Besides his general toughness (usually explained as needing to survive deep-sea pressures indefinitely with no ill effect), he doesn't really have a powerset besides the marine communication, which is a bit lame. Makes sense they just dialed his toughness here up to 11 and had the man as a walking tank. I thought it was a pretty good iteration of him, though naturally the best animated version of Aquaman will always be from Justice League cartoon series, guy's a badass!
Isn't it obvious?
Because she's a cat!
In their youth cats are spry and nimble and agile, but as they get old they just become fat and lay around all day doing nothing but eating and sleeping.
well played xD
Oh really? Interesting! Given this is literally the first time I've ever posted outside of movie discussion, I'd be fascinated to know what you're referring to!
Also your ignorance is astounding - writing off things you disagree with is how fascism works.
Just watched this, and afterwards felt like if they'd halved the length it could have made for an interesting episode of something like Black Mirror or the 90s The Outer Limits. Felt like a TV episode concept stretched out to a movie. Still not bad all in all though.
So blocking people you don't agree with so you can live ignorantly in an echo-chamber of your own creation? Like most people on your 'side', your idealist dreams will never become reality so long as you continue to ignore reality. Work with the way things are, rather than trying to force the way you want things to be.
Yes, when I saw this scene and he said "My God, they're going to kill us all!", it was such an unusual thing to say in those circumstances and so I too immediately thought about the JFK assassination, and came to the forums to ask others if they thought the same thing. Imagine my surprise that it's mentioned in the commentary, which I totally haven't seen by the way!
.......what a tool!
Well of course it's not black and white - if it netted 199 million they're not going to say it wasn't a success. 200 million is just a ballpark figure for a successful investment, enough so that they're happy with the decision they made. 100 million isn't to be sniffed at, but they'll question if they could have done better with a different project.
Because if you spend 300 million on making a movie, all that time and resources, and it makes 301 million, then all you've got to show for it is a (relatively) paltry million. If your 300 million dollar investment nets you a 200 million dollar return, then that's a success.
Also consider they only have so many resources, so if a project only nets a profit of a million, they're going to wish they had gone with a different project that might have resulted in a fatter profit.
14-year old post but I'm gonna reply anyway...
The events of the film happen in a single day, so Hal has literally only just figured things out. Given he's had no formal training whatsoever, and he's self-taught, it makes perfect sense that he would use his ring differently.
In my experience, all the DC animated movies are better than all the DC live-action movies (with one or two exceptions). Yes this was better than Wonder Woman (2017) and it's not even close. I have genuinely wondered for over a decade now why they don't just get Bruce Timm to reboot the DC movie universe and use the animated movies as a template, would easily give Marvel a run for their money!
I mean damn, once you got the origins done and built up to the justice league, you could pretty much take every 2-part Justice League episode and turn it into a damn movie!
They may have lived on an island of only women for thousands of years, but they're also completely removed from all sources of media that sexualise women. Given they're straight and have no reason to question that, it's unlikely they 'dabble'. It would also explain why the guard fell for Ares, being literally the only man on the island, and even that took a CENTURY. Lastly they're not human, they're Amazonian, so the standard human urges may well not apply.
I've just seen this movie for the first time, and came here to ask this exact question. I liked this movie but the one glaring issue I had with it is how an INVISIBLE JET appears out of nowhere (no pun intended) with absolutely no explanation. I'm not the kind of person who needs things explaining to them, but it's not even remarked upon. Especially given that Steve was the wise-cracking sort, and had not a single word to say about the invisible jet, just accepting it. The closest we get is him acknowledging near the end that the missiles are also invisible.
This really bothered me, and like you I'm not sure which route was even intended for an explanation. Either the jet was some ancient mythical technology (which seems extremely unlikely given the interior), or as you've suggested they somehow repaired Steve's jet... and made it invisible. Given he knows how to pilot it at the end that would make more sense, but doesn't explain why Diana can also fly the jet no problem. Or why it's invisible. The closest explanation I can think of is that it's invisible due to the silver mirror somehow, but basically everything involving the jet here was handled really badly.
Well this aged badly.
I really like this theory and have now adopted it for myself. The way the 2 Harvard interviews are presented clinches it for me. It doesn't make sense to me that he would interview him twice like that, essentially telling him he needs a good story and then letting him go away and invent one. Makes far more sense that it's actually the SAME interview, and he's smart enough to concoct the story on the fly.
I agree with James. He has the most punchable face, and not in a good way. Reminds me a little bit of Zoolander, he's always pulling that kind of face.
Oh, they blackwashed her too? I guess Miles wasn't enough diversity...
It's because The Little Mermaid flopping (heh, like a fish) has nothing to do with racism, and the success of this film proves it.
People (well most people) don't have a problem with Miles Morales, because even though he's A Spiderman, he's not THE Spiderman, and he's an original character in his own right. Likewise, people wouldn't have a problem with an original movie about a black mermaid.
What people DO have a problem with is taking well established iconic characters and blackwashing them. That's not bigotry or racism, no matter what certain people will tell you. It's a boycott against a perpetual push of propaganda aimed at erasing straight white males from every beloved pop culture franchise created over the last 100 years (as well as factual history).
There are very VERY few left that haven't been tainted in some way by this political assault. *spoilers* James Bond was killed off at the end of his last film, and the most popular choice to replace him is Idris Elba. Only the core DC superheroes of Batman and Superman are untouched, and really it's only a matter of time.
I meant she had already mourned the loss of her daughter and moved on, and the damage of losing her had already been done. She's selfish anyway, and would now be free to live her life child-free with no obligations. If she had still been distraught and actively looking for her daughter, believing she was still alive etc then it would be different, but at that time she had closure. Returning the child just opens all those wounds back up. For me it's the difference-maker in what is a difficult moral quandary. Everyone has a better life that way.
7 years too late so I doubt you care, but it is Cannabis Corpse - they're a Cannibal Corpse tribute band, apparently.
