So it's going to criticize China and India for destroying their oceans?
I heard it’s also going to shame the poor for buying nothing but consumable foreign crap.
Amber Herd’s character will admit she’s a grifting, lying whore.
Should've said "oceanic pollution," which is much more believable as far as harm to the ecosystem goes, and has already been done as various Aquaman stories.
I'm pretty sure that was one of the justifications Atlantis/its empire gave before throwing a bunch of ships and flotsam around in the most recent Aquaman movie.
I couldn't tell you if it ever came up again, since the movie was so fucking boring I shut it off maybe a third of the way through.
And it will be dated faster than a loaf of week-old bread. The climate change shtick changes so fast, the “experts” can’t even get their faulty information right.
Exactly. They don’t understand making something timeless
Timeless? Like a statue? OFF WITH ITS HEAD!
Ha! Very true
Nah I'm pretty sure the ice caps have melted and I'm typing this while underwater
Gay.
its aquaman... did you expect anything else?
Nope.
Really looking forward to not watching this.
I watched it... it gave me a headache as the music just didn’t fucking stop! The movie was constantly playing something and it was always loud.
WHAT??
I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER SOMEONE WATCHING "AQUAMAN" IN THE NEXT STATE!!!
The first one made a billion dollars. Somehow.
What about fat cunty actors who say stupid racist shit? Won't deal with the real issues.
... Good luck getting any money after it's made. It'll flop harder than "Waterworld".
The ocean is pretty well buffered in terms of CO2 and acidity and temp. If climate change were real it would behoove the Atlanteans to let humans do it.
heck could make the good plot for a thriller undersea super socity wants the surface world too but dont want to fight a long drawn out war solution have them kill themselves by pushing bad polocys and reap the benifits
Combined with amber turd being in the movie means it's a hard pass for me.
It's nice that the studio is going to all this effort to straighten out their shit. Undeleting Batman, replacing or at-least minimizing Amber, downplaying politics to some degree. But even if these things are true and not just wishful rumors, nothing will help if the movie itself is boring.
And it will be boring if it focuses on this topic. There is little in cinema more predictable and less engaging than Captain Planet antics in an adventure film. It's frankly too simple of a plot device that strays FAR into morality prescription like the old Sci Fi copouts in the 50s and 60s. "Man was the true monster," and "the true Villain was misunderstanding" are tired and unstimulating as story devices because they are so expected.
Let's give this a shot:
Atlantis is mad cause ocean dirty. Manta is mad cause Atlantis not mad enough for his liking, so he takes the war to humans through terroristic attacks on beach vacationers. But he's a man of black color fighting for the environment so we have to love and understand him anyway. Those randos he killed were all littering, they deserve worse than the vaporization granted them.
When I hear "will tackle climate change" I envision this kind of stuff, and it doesn't make me interested. Movies as self-important educators of the filthy dumb audience are anti-entertainment. No number of three-point landings from a mach-2 approach that shatters the concrete in the foreground will make me happy to be yelled at for 2 hours by a narrative I saw before you lifted it from a 30-year-old Saturday morning cartoon.
Will it tackle being an entertaining story as well?
Nah see in this movie the narrative is going to be the pollution is all garbage and making the oceans more and more unlivable. It will circle back around to melting the glaciers and adding ocean levels when they need it to in another movie.
