The title of the film borrows from the main magazine "Justice League" to link the big event "The Throne of Atlantis", but its content is really furious. It's small, piecemeal and trivial. Even if it is required to tell a story on the minimum scale, the film is obviously unqualified. In fact, as early as "Justice League War", fans were very dissatisfied with cutting off the Sea King role, because this is bound to have a great impact on the DC world view. But when we saw this film, we couldn't help but shout cheating, this worldview was completely distorted. The following mainly compares the similarities and differences between the film and the original.
There is an unwritten rule in DC that all screen-based works do not follow the world of comics. This is different from Marvel. Therefore, DC continues to challenge the lower limit of comics on the screen time and time again. In the case of this work, because of the low popularity of Aquaman, he wantonly slandered and insulted related comic characters. The following list of characters have devastating distortions.
1. About Dr. Shen. A close friend of Arthur's father, an authority in the academic field of Atlantis. She fell down for half his life because of Arthur and became the laughing stock of academia, and was later washed away. Every successful superhero will have his own evil and personal enemies (the new DC Four Heavenly Kings Darkside, Ugly Lord, Uncle Sai, and Bald), cute to mature assistants (Master's little birds), and of course unforgettable performance. The natal girls (Carol, Cowboy, Alyssa). In addition, there are doctors who are witnesses to the careers of superheroes. They help the protagonists discover and develop their super powers (the first time they use heat rays, and the first time they breathe out storms). Heroes are enemies and friends, and Dr. Shen is such a character. As such a soul figure in the Aquaman series, you actually only gave him three shots and made him jump on the street. Isn't this cheating, DC's pro-son "Batman" series, let's take a look at the opening scene of Alfred! ! !
2. About black manta rays. The deep sea hunter, and Arthur kill each other's father and enemy, and the enemy of the sea king. In this work, the black manta ray is a tragic existence second only to Dr. Shen. Unexplainedly, two shots were given and they became the culprit of the conspiracy (the mastermind in the original work was Arthur's emperor Vokel), and in the end he was killed by a shark controlled by Arthur. First of all, why is the black manta ray as a human being in Atlantis? Why did the black manta ray initiate war? What is the relationship between black manta rays and Neptune? This kind of interesting persona, if you are not a fan, then you can’t understand it, if you are a fan, you can’t understand it even more. With such a big change to the original, the black manta ray himself was bitten to death without explaining it clearly. Isn't this a cheating? Let's take a look at the cold captain leading the rogue gang to slaughter Central City! ! !
3. The relevant sea lord. As Aum, Arthur's half-brother. After the restart, he has no knowledge of the terrestrial world, and he wants to save his elder brother Arthur, who is the "king of the land" (Aum misunderstood). He was used by Walm and washed away after an eternal evil event. Another old enemy of Sea King. In this work, Aum has become a bug, and after singles out, kill Superman (the first T on earth), Meila (people are water system Dafa), WW (demigod, magic immunity). Among them, Superman has no magic resistance to understand. How can Muhde beat Mera and WW? Have you noticed that it seems to be harder to play than the predecessor, Darkside. DC, what are you doing?
4. About Mera. As the Queen of the Sea, after restarting, Mera was the princess sent by the Bermuda Aquarium to assassinate the prince Arthur, and she fell in love with her afterwards. In this work, he is one with another female character in the Aquaman series, and his strength is greatly weakened.
5. About Arthur himself. After the restart, Arthur lived with his father when he was young. Later, the black manta ray father lost his father. The adult Arthur lives with his girlfriend Mera at the lighthouse by the sea. Arthur’s important skill is to manipulate aquatic creatures, but he can’t communicate with them (ordinary fish have a simple structure). The so-called “communication with fish” in the film has actually subverted the setting of Neptune’s abilities. This is in the American comic world. It's a taboo!
6. The background of Neptune. Arthur's long-awaited mother dies (named as murder in the film), Haitai Fu Wokol goes ashore to search for Arthur to succeed the throne. Later, his brother Om misunderstood and intended to attack the land and rescue Arthur, the king of Atlantis. So the Atlantis Throne incident occurred.
7. About the Justice League. In this incident, due to the shortage of manpower, Steel Bone recruited recruits from the Justice League (Shazam joined at this time). At this time, Atomic Girl mixed into the Alliance for the follow-up Trinity of Sin and Forever Evil (Forever Evil).
) Foreshadowing.
8. About "Haigou Ke". They are the main story "Aquaman", the first story unit after the restart. This is a tribute to the original in the film. As for why they attacked Sea King and used "Chinese Kung Fu", it is completely incomprehensible.
9. About the Seven Elders. In the film, the seven veterans of the alliance, because Shazam replaced Arthur, the social relations between the characters could not develop smoothly. Such as the cross talk between Hal and Barry, there are always assholes who intervene to prove their sense of existence; without Arthur and the master grabbing control, the alliance has become the master’s "outsiders"; Dachao has become a nightwing existence. , And even complained about the master behind the back. This combination makes the dialogue part of the film boring and boring, similar to "you should do what I said, I am a king, I have experience in managing a country" "then go back to your sea" this witty and colliding classic The bridge no longer exists.
10. About Dachao and WW. One of the major changes in the restart of NEW52 is the branch of superhero's love choice. Many protagonists have embarked on a fork of great contrast (for example, Barry gave up the female reporter and started an office romance). Superman and WW are of course the development of plot considerations together, like the two are the strongest existence, if the combination is unimaginable and so on. But how to lay the rationality of the two people's emotional development, DC writers have done a lot of work. For example, Steve felt inferior in front of WW, Clark went to Louise’s house and found that there was a man spending the night, and then he was promoted to Da Chao and WW are both powerful and isolated existences, and they are naturally close to each other. But this film is a classic kiss, which is really abrupt. The same is true for Mera and Arthur. For the super W love in the film, everyone in the alliance is quite calm, especially the master, how can you not worry about it.
In 2014, the first supplement of Aquaman and the Others began to be serialized. It feels like DC is about to take Aquaman seriously, but who knows the result?
All of the above opinions are welcome for criticism and guidance from friends.
