Why do publishers still pretend either of these matter or need to be shoved into movies?"Wow Aquaman's Snyderverse cameo really elevated the series/Wow Namor's interactions were actually super hype" said nobody ever.It's time to retire the bubble boys. Namor's most relevant thing in decades has been being part of Stark & Strange's various atrocities.
>>153104641It was really good too, upper percentile of capeshit
>>153104641I actually really liked the second one. Shame it underperformed.
>>153104620Namor’s going public domain in the next ten years so he’s fucked either wayAquaman, though…
>>153104641Impressive!
>>153104620Namor is Marvel's Wonder Woman. That really old, first ever type of character historic to the company but overall has no real relevance in universe or among fans. But because of the 70+ years of momentum they have to stick the characters into everything any damn way.
>>153104620I just wish Marvel would quit trying to make Namor into a pseudo-villain all the damn time. He needs to be something like Black Bolt, that relatively powerful leader of a closed off society on the edge of the map that only appears from time to time for big events. but instead he needs to invade New York every other week, and also Atlantis has to be blown up every single big event.
>>153104641My KING.Take notes, BITCHmor.
>>153107262Wonder Woman counts where it matters the most, the merchandise.She is more of a female Robin, a character that can move money but is hated by the writers.
>>153104620I actually liked Namor in WF
>>153104620>Wow Aquaman's Snyderverse cameo really elevated the seriesWhat the fuck are you taking about?New52 Aquaman already elevated the fuck out of the character and was universally agreed to be best or 2nd best series of the reboot.
>>153104685>I actually really liked the second oneBased.That said it should have been a Winter Soldier style political thriller with Manta terroristically sabotaging negotiations between Atlantis & the UN.
>>153107275Marvel has an aversion to any world building. None of them want to write about Atlantis, or Attilan or even Asgard these days. Just blow it up for cheap schlock over and over again.
>>153104620The point of a super-huge franchise with dozens of characters isn't that anyone cares about them, it's the novelty of having tons of material that's not totally generic to play with. Like an open-world game, the experience is as much about pretending to be part of something big and exciting as it is actually being excited.
>>153104620I can't say.
>>153104641Him having DC's highest grossing movie of all time after decades of being a punchline is the definition of karmic justice.
