All of the "You should watch 'this' instead" moments really took it to another level. XD

[@garg4531]

Showing how blatantly they ripped off some of the best moments of the best movies in an effort to be entertaining There really is nothing original these days

This is yet another post-Endgame film that I have no interest in watching in full. Such a waste of time. Only bearable through the lens of CinemaSins or Pitch Meeting mockery.

[@Blackmark7410]

I find it interesting that Atlantis has clearly advanced technology, with amazing energy production capabilities, far outstripping the surface world, and all whilst producing zero pollution. They then complain about the surface world polluting the oceans, but at no point consider sharing their amazing technology, allowing the surface world to have all that it currently has, with zero pollution, and thus solving the problems of both, the oceans are no longer being polluted and the surface world doesn't have to return to the dark ages to do it.

That aquarium is so small. Aquaman keeping 5 goldfish in a 10g tank is some sociopath stuff. A goldfish needs like 30g for the first one alone. He can hear them right? Screaming that they're drowning in filth? 🙃

[@TheKamasGod]

18:43 I rewinded this "No" sin moment too many times. It literally just all 3 of them were doing their best "NO!!!" scream auditions for a casting audition rather than genuine grief.

[@theilluminatibenefactor]

It sounded too hilarious at 2x speed.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

There is something about Manta's flashback that I like. He called out to Aquaman for help and Aquaman refused. Just telling someone to ask the sea for mercy when you ask for help makes you look like the jerk in that situation. The thing is, it cuts out the most important part of what Aquaman said. "You killed innocent people. You ask the sea for mercy." It could be that he is blaming Aquaman and refusing to look inward at his own responsibility or it could be the evil king manipulating him but either way it's a nice touch. That or I am giving them more credit than they deserve by overanalyzing a simple editing choice.

[@tylerjones4247]

Yea i thought the same thing. That was a badass line from Aquaman.

It is quite a shame how this film turned out. Considering that this is the final film in the DCEU and that the first Aquaman movie was quite good. As director, James Wan and star Jason Momoa made Aquaman, who is one of the biggest jokes in the DC Comics universe. And made him be taken seriously.

[@MyPeroxideWilliam]

Hey CinemaSins, I love your content and i've been watching for years (I also bought and loved Jeremy's book). You have to do better than BetterHelp as a sponsor. Aside from the multiple nightmare client stories of 'BetterHelp' therapists, the FTC investigated and ruled that BetterHelp engaged in 'Deceptive Data Collection' by pushing people to provide information they said was confidential. I love your channel and I hope this is something you were unaware of because sponsoring companies that collect and sell your information, ESPECIALLY under the guise of mental health support, isn't a good look.

[@brandonlyon730]

So considering this is more or less the last DCEU movie, I’m going to head cannon that Aquaman with Atlantis’s technology helped solve most of the worlds problems and then him and the Justice League kick Darkseid’s ass when he finally showed up.

What really pissed me off about the design in this movie was the architecture. If you are living in the bottom of the ocean, temperature, humidity, wind, are not a thing. The only reason you would need buildings is density, and the only reason you would have walls would be for privacy. Seeing as the ocean is more vast then land on earth by 2 to 1 why the density? If the buildings are only needed for privacy, why is everything built like its ready for WW3!? If this were more legitimately designed the buildings should be more like Japanese tradtitional housing with paper walls, maybe kelp walls?

Like how are they hoping to find a base with a docked submarine up the mountain?
