@Bone2pick I've seen the trailers and...looks better than Batman v. Superman and Justice League, but...otherwise not that impressive. Aquaman's half normal person/half something else, he's pulled into a conflict he probably claims is none of his business at the start, and he's a badass with a dumb sense of humor. Doesn't that sound familiar? For DC saying they aren't like Marvel, this sounds an awful lot like Peter Quill.
Not that this is totally bad - I loved the GotG movies. But it feels like they're following trends here. For that matter, I thought Aquaman was pure Atlantean, so them revealing he's half human keeps confusing me. Is that in the comics? If it is, why haven't I heard about it? If it's not, why add that in? They didn't make Wonder Woman half human. Plus the "what's better than a king? A hero." line at the end of the trailer just gives me a serious case of the cringe.
Visuals look nice, and it looks like it'd be more fun at a DC movie than anyone's had in a long time, but...I'm not sold on the costumes. Manta's armor looks like it's made of plastic, and those orange scales - while consistent with the costume - are a little too bright and CG-ish.
Oh, and this isn't related but did anyone else have a problem with Starfire's appearance for the Titans movie? I'm not upset that it's a black actress, but I am upset that they didn't cover her in the makeup to make her look Tameranian. Starfire isn't white or black; she's orange. You can have a black actress, but you gotta make the character look like the character. They did this with Gamora. She's a black actress, but they put her in green makeup to look like the character. Do the same with Starfire and I'm good, that's all I'm saying. Wasn't a fan of the hair, either, but looking at some screen grabs of original comics and the wavy hair is something Starfire had for a while, so while I'm not a huge fan I can forgive it. But why is she black? (again not the actress, the character)
