Why was Aquaman so much more successful than Namor despite them being almost the exact same characters?

Aquaman came first and his outfit is way less gay than Sub-Mariner. Also, Aquaman is a better name than Namor, the Sub-Mariner

Aquaman was a double edge sword in ways. Always being made fun of definitely hurt but at the same time it kept him in the eyes general media and viewer.

Cause Marvel didn't care for Namor and gave him little to no stories.
While Aquaman becomes a cultural icon because of his lame powers and superfriends appearances.

Aquaman wasn't made fun of until Family Guy shit. OP is asking about golden and silver age popularity.
Xavier Price
Superfriends

Because the public perception of him makes you want to read him and then you learn he's actually a pretty cool character.
While Namor is just irrelevant and nobody cares about him really.

Aquaman doesn’t have stupid knife-ears.

Imagine a 2 hour movie of Namor being bitter cunt to everyone

They weren't originally that similar at all except that they were both merpeople, that's like saying the Golden Age and Silver Age Human Torch are the same character
Namor was missing for almost a decade while Aquaman continued uninterrupted into the Silver Age
