"Please sir, the man in the restaurant wants to just sit there and talk about a movie and then leave quietly. And today he wants to talk about AQUAMAN. What's wrong with that?"
Yeah, I wanna know if this movie is good or not. It won't take long.
Listen here, why are all my kitchen crew so fascinated in this crazy man who never orders MY food? This isn't a library.
This wasn't a comic book...it was CINEMA!
And my proof is the presence of Nicole Kidman. She plays the queen of Atlantis, who washed up on shore and has sex with the first man who found her. That's right...this movie is about female empowerment.
Aquaman (Jason Momoa) was simply a plot device to show us the REAL star of the film. Princess Mera.
Princess Mera is never in danger. She is first to do everything. In fact, she saves Jason Momoa twice in his own movie.
Princess Mera carries out the story and lets Jason Momoa stand there and watch her be the REAL hero.
Jason Momoa wants to leave Atlantis and thereby, NOT being Aquaman anymore. And Princess Mera convinces him to stay! Who does that except for the REAL hero of a movie.
But, if you want to see a movie about a man who gets a magic stick. It's about a man who gets a magic stick!
The film you paid for was to see Aquaman, and that was in fact, Princess Mera the whole time.
Genius, I tell you...genius.
