Anthony Walker
But will he talk to fish? I'm not watching some Aquaman movie where he doesn't talk to fish.
Jack Torres
>warner cut all his scenes in Justice League
It's a shame.

The DCEU is already dead. Long live the Gotham universe. Not even Wonder Woman 2 will be able to resurrect the DCEU. Certainly not Aqualobo and his dolphins. Mamoa has never "saved" any project.
Christopher Davis
>Sup Forums Nice job, user
But no, it won't. This Aquaman sucks ass
Angel Thompson
I don't like that they are going with daddy issues Manta but the actor has convinced me.
Aiden Cooper
So is Aquaman's enemy in this the Polynesian Biker in the OP's pic?

Thanks Marvel and DC, for making sure no capeshit movie will ever be anything but a comedy from now on.

Matthew Anderson
I would've thought you'd like comedies. Seeing as how you're such a fucking joke.
Matthew Sanders

Other than Don Burgess this is top plebshitkino. Its like one of those parody trailers we make where we put michael bay, rob schneider and literally the worst possible choice in every position. Aquaman deserves better than FF7, Iron-man3, tasm, and the gangster squad people
Brandon Hernandez

And more people are interested in those literally whos than will EVER be interested in another piece of shit DC movie

Charles Allen
If they still watch the MCU, then DC still has chances. They just need to add more and more quips

What do YOU think?
Josiah Johnson

This x1000. I'd also add, don't reboot core characters. Just start a new universe from scratch with minor characters.
Daniel Gutierrez
I have given up all hope long ago.
Ryder Flores
>no capeshit movie will ever be anything but a comedy from now on
Logan came out the same year as Thor Ragnorok you stupid fuck. New Mutants doesn't look like a barrel of laughs either.
Hunter Morris
>we fucked up and we're starting over Seriously this
DC had nothing but amazing movies before Snyder and the DCEU came along
Brody Torres
>Two spinoffs featuring literally whos.
You really don't think that Spider-Man movie looks good? Also, a Transformers movie starring Hailee Steinfeld is going to have me touching myself like I'm looking for my keys.
Jacob James
>And more people are interested in those literally whos than will EVER be interested in another piece of shit DC movie Did you conduct a survey, my man? I'm curious to see your work.
Liam Roberts
Eight of those are decent, but yeah WB fucked up a long time go by not being the first to bring a cinematic universe to the screen. They let several versions of BvS rot in development hell. They've had full access to thousands of characters for decades and barely scratched the surface.
Josiah Williams
>You really don't think that Spider-Man movie looks good? It's Miles, so no. Its basically Homecoming with an "urban" flair. And let me be clear, Homecoming was shit too.
Cooper Long
>Sup Forums Now we all know you're a cuck.
Carter Lewis
>It's Miles, so no.
Pathetic.
> Its basically Homecoming with an "urban" flair.
How? It looks like Spider-Men meets Shattered Dimensions. I'm sorry they played rap over it, grandpa.
>Homecoming was shit
fucking lol, get out
Julian James
Because those being prepared before Thor 3 released. Also, they are reshoting New Mutants right now.
Carter Wood
You're reaching pretty high for Alita there. Creed 2 and Fantastic Beasts need to be much higher
>If they still watch the MCU, then DC still has chances That's not how this works. They don't care which company it comes from (though Marvel has the better public goodwill) they just don't give a shit about bad movies
Nolan Scott
The joke is that only the (pre-snyder) Batman and two Superman movies were good right?
Connor Mitchell
Yeah, because it wasn't scary enough
Angel Martinez
The only way it could possibly be good is if Black Manta manages to be an interesting character and there's at least a somewhat compelling plot. From what we've seen of Arthur in JL, there's really not much to like about him.
Joshua Diaz
>Because those being prepared before Thor 3 released
...no. You can't claim Ragnarok is changing the landscape when it came in the wake of Guardians and lets face it, most MCU movies including the first Thor, and SO DID LOGAN.
>they are reshoting New Mutants right now
Yes, to make it even more horror.
Jayden Allen
>The only way it could possibly be good is if Black Manta manages to be an interesting character and there's at least a somewhat compelling plot I remember reading they gave Black Manta an "interesting backstory" which already fucked it all up for me
Robert Brooks
That would work too but honestly I think there could still be a successful DCEU, they just have to move on after the previous failures and stop Snydering up movies and have actual good press. Snyder’s gone now, they just need good reviews now for people to want to see their movies.
Jayden Edwards
>The only way it could possibly be good is if Black Manta manages to be an interesting character and there's at least a somewhat compelling plot. well it's a DC movie so you can forget about either of those
Andrew Hernandez
>If they still watch the MCU, then DC still has chances >they just don't give a shit about bad movies You agree with my point then. Because I havent seen a good marvel movie since Iron-Man 1, and the only dc movie that was received favorably was Wonder Woman, another shit movie.
YOU CAN MAKE BAD MOVIES AND HAVE PEOPLE WATCH THEM. Hell, thats the whole Disney Marvel business. To make bad movies and have people watch them. I was out of words when I finally catched up with Thor 3. Its incredibly how bad the movie literally is. I have yet to see Black Panther, but I dont have much hopes.
Bentley Baker
yes although "good" is a bit of a stretch IMO
Joshua Allen
Sure, lemme watch the movie first. I seriously hope Fox didnt make the usual test audience where people would complain about no costumes and no fun. They are surely making it more scary! And not putting quips and shit!
To be fair Deadpool and GotG are the culprits. But Thor 3 proved you can apply the same mold to literally any unrelated character and make it work financially.
Jason White

Worked for luke cage and Valkyrie
James Morales
>Written by Will Beall ("The Gangster Squad") Why the fuck does WB keep giving this guy work? What the fuck has he ever done to deserve the opportunities he receives?
Luis Foster
No comic fans like Scrapper 34whatever. Shit character, and insulting to anyone who liked Valkyrie
Adam Thomas
This is the only DC movie I am looking forward to. Wan wants to bring in deep sea horrors and stuff, I'm down
Ayden Robinson
If aquaman gets even halfway decent reviews I could see it t doing pretty well in that slot.
Spider-verse and Alita both feel like definite bombs to me. Bumblebee is a maybe, I’d guess modest success at best.
If Aquaman can bring in $500 mill+ I feel like Warner would call that I win
Aiden Stewart
>Wan wants to bring in deep sea horrors and stuff yeah just like he did for Furious 7
