Amber Heard Nukes Aquaman 2 & Loses DC Millions

Aquaman 2 has been doomed from the start due to all the Amber Heard backlash since her allegations failed, as well as the allegations Amber Heard made against Jason Momoa claiming she was bullied on set as well as that her role was reduced in the film. To make things worse, Aquaman 2 has now also opened to absolutely horrible reviews and is potentially going down as the worst DC movie of all time. Aquaman 2 is also set to flop worse than The Marvels. In this Aquaman 2 review I go over why this movie failed to deliver in any way, as well as why Aquaman 2 will also hurt the new DCU moving forward.

Dude, get a grip. Seriously, a GRIP on reality. I thought the trial was totally in Johnny Depp's favor, which was fair in my mind. But part of being human is to allow people to learn from events, fortune, mistakes, and change their behavior. The way the internet treated Amber Heard was barbaric and sub-human. But we find it funny, why? Because the internet (a proxy for our social surroudings) found it funny. Absent the anonymous performative audience, it wouldn't be at all funny. Someone calling her evil? Seriously? I honestly hope most of these people are 14 and will look back on these comments and laugh. Amber Heard should have her right to audition, earn (or not earn) a part, act in it, and make her money. If she sucks as an actress ,it won't be a long career. But it will be based on HER abilities and judgment of those abilities. The internet-wide assault on Amber Heard was due to an unusual alliance between the anti-woke comic book movie faction (whom I mostly agree with), and the far more dangerous and deadly faction I call..... the true crime wine moms. May heaven have mercy on your soul if you cross true crime wine moms in comment sections. Ask Wendi Adelson or Jodi Arias. LMAO

Don't blame the effects Dept, blame the Director who didn't know what they wanted until about 5 minutes before it was released. Then came back 2 minutes before deadline and said they had changed their minds, then came back 1 minute later and said they'd had another thought. Getting the effects just right is not a computer bound problem, but a time constriction issue- it takes a lot of time to get it just right.

[@LaraCroftEyes1]

Talking about Amber.

[@gr8personaltylivinbstlife583]

Yes it takes time to master effects and make them pop on the big screen, however you cannot blame a lack of chemistry and lack of skill and talent between two actors as special effects issues! The issue is Amber is a train wreck with zero acting skills and no feelings towards randos as she called us in the trial and now she is calling us childish! No we are not childish we are grown adults that could care less who pays you for sex, who Amber screws to be on screen and any movie she would be in! Horrible actress not worth a thought in my head does not make me childish! They asked our opinion anyone who shares there opinion in this or any online media is not a child. But the actress paying, fake crying and begging people to write a positive and defend a liar an abuser is childish. When Amber admits she is an abuser with a problem and in psychological care and on meds and is sorry maybe can win back a fan or two. Heards lack of empathy and morales is why she is still hated has nothing to do with who any of us support. That’s my honest opinion that this user was asked to provide.

[@MSgt5J071]

Many people said they were boycotting The Hunger Games prequel because Rachel Zegler was in it, but the prequel did pretty well. In the case of Aquaman 2, however, it appears that there is a major fan boycott over Amber Heard and it's having a significant impact on the box office numbers. Yes, DC hasn't listened to the fans for a while and, as a result, they've had several bombs, but this is the first time I've seen such a revolt over the presence of one actor in a film.

[@billm3210]

Zegler wast bad in sequel but her role was singing mostly. It wasnt a bad movie but found it weak besides Snows character. It does leave a mystery box from the book/movie about Catliss relationship to Zeglers and what that means to Snow.

[@MSgt5J071]

@@billm3210 I heard the movie was faithful to the book and Rachel Zegler was at least OK as Lucy Gray Baird, so I plan to see it when it comes out on streaming. I don't usually see movies in the theater unless they get huge word of mouth support.

[@kevinemmers9424]

Rachel Zegler never abused anybody. She’s a young, impressionable kid who got caught up in the woke brainwashing that a lot of the Gen Z crowd is going through. I see her as flawed, but redeemable. Plus, she can act, unlike AH who put on a very unconvincing act in the Virginia courtroom. What AH did to Johnny Depp was unforgivable. What she did to the good name of real abuse survivors is atrocious. There’s a world of difference between the two.

[@curtismcdonald6838]

“Several bombs” is a very tame way of putting it. Every character in DC has been subverted. The males have been either neutered and ineffectual or had their lips CGIed so badly, they look like Meg Ryan in that first photo of her after her botched surgery years back. The women (woman) can’t find anyone to direct her story in the right direction and seems targetless with her story being told so that has no possible way of ending without disappointing anyone who watches. Not to mention, Gadot is eye candy and Warner Bros. went with her because of their shallow and poor opinions they all have about us. They think we will show up at the theater because Gadot is hot. What they didn’t screen during her hiring process is her ability to act because that’s not important….to them. But it is to us. So though “several bombs” is a charitable way of saying that WB has destroyed every superhero story arc in the DC Universe other than Batman’s, I feel that a more apropos way of saying this would be “collectively annihilated almost the entire DC profit margin,” because in the end, isn’t it all about $$?

[@10bayekofsiwa15]

the big difference is that movie is actually good and Rachel Zegler had a pretty good performance as both actor and singer

Yet the amber stans they tried to please by keeping her aren't happy about that, and the people who didn't want the turd in the movie at all aren't happy about it. They entire reason they kept her around was to please the stans, and the stans are shitting on this movie just as much as people who hate the turd. DC is getting exactly what they deserve, I hope they lose hundreds of millions from this.

To me she was just a random actress in a random movie that I randomly watched... Yet now everyone knows her and we don't want to watch the Aquaman because of her.

actually, the entire cinema industy is starting its Dark Ages

Elon Musk’s scorched-Earth letter might explain some things about this movie. DC/Warner Brothers could sue him to get their money back. Some of it, anyhow. Rich man’s girlfriend is box-office poison ☠️, of course.

[@mrconfusion87]

It was either that or the Scorched Earth at the box office by We The Moviegoing Public! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ECHOOOEntertainment]

I just feel bad for everyone else who put so much effort into this film, only for one woman and some indecisive people to tank it

[@Trailhiker1]

Amber done WB a Poo Poo

Also, knowing this "universe" and character is done with, does not quite encourage people to rush to see it. They addded delays along Henry Superman being rejected by Gunn makes it a thing of the past before it even released.

[@QuinnMallory-od1hw]

Cancel culture is simply ugly, I watched johnny Depp go through it, now the truth is out there. Does amber heard deserve it? Probably for a time, but if there is no chance for appeal, forgiveness or redemption. Well what's the point of continuing to try to make anything. The current aquaman movie is a prime example. Glad amber wasn't allowed to say anything sexest or gloating, but they cut the character so much it physically hurt to watch the film.

[@coreyleewallace]

I went and saw the movie and for the most part liked it, you could tell they cut her out of lots of it, but it would have been much better had they kept Mera's part the way it was written and just recast Mera. I was irritated every time she got screen time but the character needed more screen time for the story being told. This was a half assed pander to the fans by cutting her part down but not cutting her out of the movie.

Marvel AND DC both need a George Miller!

[@tammyfrancis7856]

It’s s too bad they didn’t postpone the release significantly, so they could do what they said they were going to do. Actually, I wasn’t going to see this movie if she was in it for more than 30 seconds….and hopefully they use that 30 seconds to kill off her character. That would have been the perfect solution, but they also needed to take the time to rewrite it properly and get it together.

[@radrobd123]

They did significantly delay the release. The movie was originally supposed to be released LAST Year (2022)

[@lexorrr3158]

is it really that serious bro..

[@rhys-michaelsilverlocke3085]

I just saw “Aquaman and the lost franchise“. And… oh dear, oh dear. This may be one of the worst movies ever made. It is certainly the worst DC movie. They start the film out by having Jason Momoa smugly narrate how good he is at one really important thing. He is good at “breaking heads”. Because he’s just that kind of Neanderthal. The film doesn’t mention his powers or stretch or even display the limits of those powers. And it certainly doesn’t praise his intellectual prowess or even his other abilities. This movie presents the main character as a brick, good for throwing at people and windows to get them to break. And they even have him smarmily announce that all this is because he’s “the king of frickin Atlantis”. And I’m only talking about the first two minutes of the movie so far. He narrates a lot, interspersed with clips of adventures that have to be better than this one because this film was lousy and lacked any sense of adventure. And the narration makes Momoa sound like a very over-entitled (and terribly stupid) lowbrow moron. that isn’t him, by the way. That’s deliberately how it is written, and how he’s supposed to act. He must’ve hated it. And as this unconvincing, opening, commences, in the background “Born To Be Wild” plays loudly… possibly to remind you of something actually enjoyable. If it was an attempt to make Aquaman look like a tough guy, then it failed miserably and they might have wanted to try an AC/DC song to try and sell that hackneyed cliche instead. It doesn’t help that the very moment they are trying to present Momoa as a tough blockhead who doesn’t take nonsense from anyone… is the very moment they suddenly cut away to show him trying to calm a crying baby and play daddy. So that change in scenes immediately undoes any trace of what they had just tried to instill in the minds of the audience. Suddenly, you feel like you are in a rom-com about a single dad. The villain (Manta) is as one-dimensional as you can imagine. He has no talents or skills or drive or ingenuity. He actually sits around announcing things like, “Every day I don’t fix my suit is another day Aquaman gets to live…”. As if there is NO OTHER possible solution. He couldn’t build himself up stronger, or expand his intelligence and outsmart his nemesis with a clever trap or any other solution. Manta is a one-hit wonder on the subject of his power suit. That’s what he wants and all he needs and the entirety of his character. He could have been played by an empty suit for the most part. His arc starts on a quest to repair his suit and it ends there. Because he foes that nearly immediately and has no other character development of any kind. As for Aquaman… he doesn’t need a suit. He gets his knowledge and motivations from cryptic dreams that just keep him informed on situations. He seriously relies on prophetic dreams from out of nowhere to chart his actions. And he is such a strong king, that when he informs his council of plans to save Atlantis from pollution and plague, by revealing its existence to the world, his council tells him that they will reveal Atlantis when they decide to attack the surface dwellers, and not before. So he doesn’t appear in charge of his own kingdom. And the dialogue is so witty. “You’ve got 15 minutes to get in and out, so there’s no margin for error…“ and “stealth mode, engage…“ and even “we can’t fight their entire army.” These lines are so generic, they could appear in anything from a recent Mission Impossible movie to an old episode of Charlie’s Angels. And speaking of tired, out-of-date women… Amber Heard is also in this disaster. Don’t worry, she doesn’t ruin the entire film… the film does that for itself. Miss Heard only ruins 23 minutes of this movie; the 23 minutes that she’s in. She appears to be playing a pissed-off fish stick. That may be part of the bad writing in this film, but is more likely to be down to the reality that she only has one facial expression… unreasonably, furious woman, waiting in the dark for her husband to come home so she can hit him with something heavy. she looks like a cliché from the 1940s, just not wearing actual hair curlers. Her range is amazing in this movie. Not only can she play a useless cardboard cut out, and a very upset fishwife, she also manages to spend 11 minutes of the movie simply pouting. I’m not sure if she thinks it’s attractive, or the studio believes it is, but whatever the case… it isn’t even slightly engaging. It just makes her look vindictive. She actually resembles a guest on the Maury show, standing up in front of a crowd insisting some stranger is the father of her baby and that she will make him pay. She is so typical of a guest in that genre, that they should’ve just cast her in a film about the Maury show. That might’ve at least been interesting. And even though the action scenes would’ve only been her picking up a chair to throw it at some innocent man… those action scenes would still have been more believable than the ones they filmed in the movie. And once she is proved wrong about the paternity of the child, the guests on Maury’s show act exactly the way Amber does. “No. That IS his baby. He will pay for that baby. Give me my money. I want my money. I don’t care what no DNA test says; that test is a lie. all these people are lying. You lying too. No!!! He WILL pay!!! Where my money. Go run and get me my money… now! Now!! NOW!!!” And then the hysterical woman usually winds up, ripping off her wig, or her weave, and screaming on the floor, while kicking and beating the carpet in frustration like a three-year-old. Amber should keep that speech handy… once the box office is tallied, she’ll be making that same speech to her agent. “Give me my money. Where my money at? No, you will get me my money right now. Now. NOW!!!” I wonder if she’ll fall to the floor kicking and screaming and ripping off HER wig. And all her agent will be able to say in response, is the same thing the men on the Maury show say, “What money, bitch? Don’t nobody owe you any money. You didn’t do anything; it’s not like you work. You just hang around doing whatever the hell you want all the time and expecting somebody to pay you for it. You a trifling hoe.” So, even though there has been a blackout on reviewing this film, for some reason, now that the movie is out, the reviews are going to start appearing. And I guarantee you nobody involved with this project is going to like them anymore than the studio does, or the consumers do. If Disney really wants to save itself and promote fairness and equity, the first thing they need to do is divest themselves of Amber Heard… before the smell of spoiled tuna gets so profound that it chokes everybody in the audience and makes them flee the theater.

[@davespiess947]

It had nothing to do with Amber Heard! It fail because of Warner Brothers and James Gunn. Period!

[@LaraCroftEyes1]

It has to do with Amber WB fire Johnny over false allegations Amber made and when the truth came out about Amber being the abuser WB kept her.

[@DARKHORIZONCREATIONS]

I’ve worked as a consultant for the industry, and I can tell you that you are absolutely wrong in your opinion of Amber, and Aquaman 2. The issue is not her personal life, the issue is that studio execs made an issue of her personal life. If you and the general public knew how some actors behaved on set, and what they did in their personal lives, Hollywood would go under overnight. You and others like you are readily condemning a woman who like anyone else has personal issues that need to be addressed. Are you any different? Do you or perhaps one of your family members struggle with mental illness? Instead of trying to place blame on Amber, why not show her some compassion and mercy?

[@victordjinn632]

You echo my sentiments. I actually saw the movie this evening. I don't feel like I need two hours of my life back. Yes, Amber has issues, but I saw Mera. She moved as she was directed to move, and she delivered her lines as written. Two thumbs up from me. This crusade of hate is mind numbing. People need to get lives of their own and dummy up.
