>People don't take him seriously and say his power is just talking to fish.>Actually one of the older marvel characters but people only regard him as a douche and NTR Bait
>>151339729Aquaman caught a lot of seething cause his cartoon came out around the same time as the 60's Batman TV show. Kids had to watch their parents laugh at Batman then Saturday morning Aquaman was right there next to Superman having REAL adventures.
>>151339729>70% of the Earth is water so that they have a massive domain to cover and have adventures around in>Alot of ocean related mythology to pull from. Sure they use the obvious Poseidon/Neptune angle but there's a fuck ton of ocean deities/monsters to use like Pontus, Okeanos, Ægir, Njord etc...
>>151339729I liked namor before he was mexicanized
>>151339729See, the weird thing about Aquaman is that every time he's portrayed as this aloof serious figure who might have hostilities to the surface world, they're basically adapting Namor.>>151340404Not everyone's an oceanographer so they don't get the appealThey just see water and that's it
>>151339729Aquaman is just fun and Namor is a stinky cuck
>>151339729Oceanic fiction kind of got unpopular around the 60s.
If that is Namor's ranking, imagine being Stingray.
Bump
>>151339729Give us more aquatic based heroes like this and public opinion might shift
>>151339729Superfriends is to blame.
>saint seiya underwater
>>151339729The most popular Underwater franchises are Finding Nemo, The Little Mermaid and Spongebob. You can kind of see why it's hard to take that kind of setting too seriously
>>151340462>portrayed as this aloof serious figure who might have hostilities to the surface worldI hate when they do this cause Aquaman is usually written as the complete opposite.
