[@silverfangmoonhunter]

Honestly the Justice League cartoon version is my favorite because he didn't just happen to lose his hand in a fight or some accident, he cut it off himself to save his son and himself. Now I don't know about you but that level of sacrifice is pretty darn heroic to me.

[@MemrYou]

Same here

[@Crick1952]

I agree

[@gideon5386]

one of the best scenes of the show.

[@piccolo56000]

+Silver Fang i know right ! the animated series of DC had great innovations .

[@that1valentian769]

I know! I thought it was so hardcore and heroic. The love for his kingdom, the sea, and his precious baby boy made him cut off his arm to save everything.

[@mrsundaymovies]

I always assumed he got it caught in a car door. An underwater car.

[@LizardSuit]

Hello mr Australian person

[@arrownoir]

+Logan Zivic Ha!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

+Mr Sunday Movies HA! Classic Aquaman!

[@rachdarastrix5251]

Could you imagine what that would have done to that poor car? Lol the car would probably have gotten reforged into the harpoon anyway. That way it can run people over from beyond the grave.

[@KairuHakubi]

now I need to see ol' Arthur Curry driving around the surface of the ocean in his CARPOON

[@vegetafan9922]

Arthur:"I need a symbol." The stylised "A" on his belt:"Am I a joke to you?"

[@comicpop]

I remember this Aquaman so vividly, it's like he was always pissed off.

[@jasontoddman7265]

+ComicPOP I always felt it was to make him more like Sub Mariner from the 1940s/1960s, when he was pretty much a villain or an antihero himself.

[@joluoto]

+ComicPOP It was the 90s, every hero was always pissed off, becaue that was edgy and cool.

[@senyum0]

Youre right. I got that too

[@magnumcornetto]

Well, it was either that, or a slacker type. Like Wally West, Kyle Rayner, Bart Allen, Kon-El Superboy, etc.

[@tajwhite8679]

I would love to hear Aquaman to say "I don't talk to fish" in his movie.

[@YarugumaSou]

+Jay Gatsby In Khal Drogo's voice *yeah...*.

[@NeroSeries]

Superman: who are you Aquaman: i am king of the sea you can call me aquaman Wonderwoman: so you can talk to fish Aquaman: no i just command them and they can choose to obey Batman: thats pretty much you talking to fish Aquaman: Screw you guys i tried so hard to impress you i dyed my hair black and tried to look as edgy as possible and this is how you guys treat me OUTRAGES

[@mikeyhassan6060]

+115_zombie_slayer you how dare you make me cry of laughter

[@Firestar4041]

it'll be the new "ITS A TRAP!"

[@elgatopicante788]

Jay Gatsby you got your wish

[@MandalorV7]

I think the Justice League story is the best take on Aquaman loosing his had. It's a great example of sacrifice from both the perspective of a hero and father.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

+Jacob Clark Yeah, the comics story was just bad luck. The JL story showed him making a conscious decision to sacrifice his hand for his son.

[@randystark3368]

Personally, I liked how the hand issue went down in the Justice League cartoon. To me it seemed to have a better purpose to it - protecting an innocent. The symbol of being of both worlds thing is interesting too, but got out of hand.

[@carycomic1954]

I give your statement a like purely for your having the courage to use that pun. :-)

[@SWIFTO_SCYTHE]

the cartoon version saving his son is much more badass than the piranha river comic.

[@erikfredbergpersson892]

Aquaman has lost more hands the Skywalker family

[@Cowgirlcadet]

Lol!

[@Questron71]

+Erik Fredberg Persson But not as many as the kings of Westeros :D

[@danfors1333]

Ash Williams from Evil dead lost his hand plenty of times

[@Santeri349]

[@Fanatic_Foremem]

The cartoon origin is my favorite, it shows alot of what make's aquaman a great character, I'm not sure what the case is in the comics but aquaman in the cartoons (Justice league and brave and the bold) Aquaman is extremely dedicated to doing the right thing for the right things sake, he doesn't care about what others might think of because he's too busy saving his people, his friends, and his world. Others might try to find a way to avoid losing a limb at all cost, but Aquaman looks at this situation and realizes what must be done, and then does it. And in the BatB cartoon he might be alot goofier, but he takes joy in saving the world, and will often give motivational speeches to pump up his allies. Its alot diffferent from other heros who seem to have an overall goal outside of heroics, aquaman seems to be a hero because he feels it's his duty to be one.

[@MrNewguy456]

the animated series is by far the coolest way for him loosing his hand.... but in all honestly there's so much ,more to the character than him having a hook hand, im good with keeping the 2 handed aquaman

[@theamazingspider-man9792]

I get it! It's because of the hook melting so it has no point!

[@Skullkidjynx]

Oh my god I JUST got it!!!

[@Crick1952]

Welcome to the joke. There are chips on the counter.

[@Questron71]

+TheAmazingSpider-Man979 Just like every other thing about Aquaman :P SCNR

[@aquaman6003]

Thats right, stop cyber bully me, I dont talk to fish!

[@DarioMalandra]

+Aquaman You do

[@aquaman6003]

+Dario Malandra no I dont talk to fish!

[@DarioMalandra]

+Aquaman You do

[@aquaman6003]

+Dario Malandra no I dont!

[@DarioMalandra]

+Aquaman Yes you do !

[@SplitSniper7]

I much prefer the story of him losing his hand to save his kid. It seems much more epic.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Absolutely! It felt like it meant something, too. The original way it was in the comics felt like it was just thrown in there for no other reason than the writers wanted to.

[@genshishio9316]

Water hand for the win! Being able to dehydrate anything with a touch is too awesome of an ability

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Super deadly, even though it wasn't supposed to be used offensively. Haha

[@slashandbones13]

Bruce Timm's story gives the best reason in my opinion

[@wallywest2312]

Omg that fire villain's name is Corona, wow look at where we are now.

[@davidfletcher7238]

When asked why I thought Aquaman was the best superhero ever, I always scream "BECAUSE HE CUT OF HIS FREAKING HAND TO SAVE HIS SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@lightdotogam4734]

I remember that I first heard of aquaman in BTBATB. He quickly became my favorite. He is up there in my top 5 favorite heroes.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

If I remember correctly, he was kind of over the top and quirky in that series, right?

[@lightdotogam4734]

Yeah. I liked him in the series though.

[@DrTimes99]

I say, give Aquaman a magic water hand that he can turn into an ice harpoon if need be

[@Batkenpre]

yeah

[@victore7249]

Dr. Void yes!

[@vincentfranklin17]

I always dug Aquaman, even during the Super Friends years. I loved the harpoon hand! He is a badass! The New 52 just made him even cooler to me!

[@JediGeronimo]

I really enjoyed the story-line with lady of the lake and the whole "water-bearer" thing. It was at the time when Aquaman was disposed from Atlantis and having him become the vessel to another forgotten kingdom like Camelot was a pretty neat idea. And they essentially gave his hand the same moral stipulations as Excalibur!

[@MP-om9fj]

Scott!!! xD oh how i have missed this channel..loss of wifi is a terrible thing..thank goodness there seems to be plenty of material to binge upon!

[@brunofranco4416]

DId you notice every hero has a monster counterpart? Like, Superman has become a ghost in the Phantom Zone, batman has been turned into a vampire, Green Lantern almost turned into a black lantern zombie and the flash was once transformed of course, into a man-gorila by Grodd. Martian Manhunter is a shapeshifting alien with mental powers, so maybe that counts.

[@Burning-Twilight]

+Bruno Franco Nothing to say for wonder woman?

[@brunofranco4416]

KON- EL Uhh, that time she was made into one of the Star Riders?

[@Burning-Twilight]

Bruno Franco But she wasn't really a monster was she?

[@brunofranco4416]

KON- EL Nah. but if she was to turn into one, i hope it's a gorgon.

[@Burning-Twilight]

Bruno Franco Or perhaps a Harpy.

[@amitklain4199]

Man, if aqua-man gets his hand cut off one more time we can start calling him a skywalker.

[@LegominerplaysMC]

Don't forget when he died fighting against Imperius in the Our Worlds at War storyline which is a VERY overlooked story line and is one of my favorite Superman story.

[@agustinvenegas5238]

As a 90's kid i grew up on one handed aquaman and black green lantern, so that is the aquaman i like the most (he also just looks badass with the harpoon) and indeed i think the magic watery hand suits him the best

[@DarioMalandra]

Why didn't he tell the pirahanas not to eat his hand.. because you know.. he can talk with fishes..! Once again, great video Scott ! I knew that you liked Aquaman but I'm surprised that it is that much because his powers are basically.. talking with fishes..

[@CristianPsychoGamer]

The video has said many times that he doesn't talk to fish.

[@DarioMalandra]

+PsychoGamer8229 Indeed..

[@matiascarvalho9424]

+Dario Malandra Good point...

[@atlasrises4]

He lost that ability in that story

[@DarioMalandra]

+Anthony Franco So he couldn't talk to fishes anymore ? mmh.. Guess he was just a human being then..

[@thehood3093]

Hi Scott! I love your channel. I've watched every single episode of Comic Misconceptions and I'm currently working my way through the podcast. You guys are great! I don't know that many people who are anywhere close to as nerdy as I am, and being able to "hang out" with other people like me is fantastic. Keep up the good work! Bye the way, I have an idea for a video. (hard segway (now you really know I listen to you guys a lot :) )) The other day I looked up what state Metropolis is supposedly in. The answer is New Jersey, right next to where Gotham is supposed to be. But apparently both cities where originally meant to represent New York City, with Metropolis representing the "good" parts of the city and Gotham representing the "bad" parts. And I was thinking, since Daredevil works in the "bad" areas of New York, does that mean that Batman and Daredevil work in the same place? Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read this excessively long comment. God bless you all!

[@thehood3093]

Oh yeah, and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Perhaps a similar place on two different earths? Sounds like it could be possible. Thanks for watching our videos! I really appreciate that!

[@Dark-kj3jc]

3:34 damn you Scott, damn you that pun came out of nowhere xD

[@Krishnaeternal]

Hands up if you like this vid! LoL seriously, Scott, thanks for the great Aquaman exposition, without which I would never have been motivated to find out. You once told me that the objective of Nerdsync was to run out of material and become obsolete. That does not look like anytime soon. Great stuff.

[@MopeeDuck]

Aquaman doesn't talk to fish he commands them.... some times vocally..... i dunno Scott sounds like talking to me. still glad he has no harpoon hand now..... well Scott the 90's where a dark times for comics - shudders-

[@NerdSyncProductions]

+Mopee Dc I think there's a difference between talking and commanding. If I tell my dog to sit, I'm not talking to her.

[@MopeeDuck]

***** but by the definition of talk you are =P

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Mopee Dc But not really, though. I'm saying words at her, but I'm not talking with her. We're not holding a conversation and exchanging ideas.

[@MopeeDuck]

***** aha but where talking about talking to not talking with =P there is a difference XD

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Aquaman's powers are telepathic, so he's not really speaking at all. If he does command verbally, it's just for show and not really necessary. The fish don't understand his spoken words. He just taps into their minds, suggests and idea, and they respect it. No verbal language involved. And it's not even Professor X stuff where it's just like a spoken conversation, just in people's minds. There's no actual language involved. Fish don't hear commands in english in their minds and suddenly develop an understanding of the english language. It's something else entirely. Just raw, unfiltered commands.

[@floorboards1500]

My favorite hand is the pointless one

[@IanSommers]

I absolutely loved this episode, mostly because of the humor. Keep up the great work!

[@TheInsidiousDrChupa]

Subscribing. Awesome video, always wondered, I never read his singles comics until the New 52.

[@frogmad13]

I have to handed it to Aquaman because he is amazing!

[@Will-pd6vj]

Uuuuuhhhh....... (Mumbles) Handed it................. Lost his hand........ OOOOOOOOHHHHH, I GET IT! YOUR HILARIOUS!!!

[@trydenrocks]

I don't get it.. I can't quiet place my finger on it..

[@sebkim7970]

Aquaman "handled" getting his hand chopped off very well!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Nailed it!

[@marcowortel2224]

great video, subscribed

[@mth1022]

Aquaman's always been one of my favorite DC characters since I was a kid. Never really got the hate. Personally liked the initial harpoon hand and the retractable version best. Would have been boss if he'd gotten a trident variant at some point, since that's his go-to weapon otherwise. Also, just a personal preference, but he should always rock a beard.

[@sammyriding]

aquaman sacrificing his hand to save his son is the best one..

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Super great!

[@sammyriding]

+NerdSync you replied.. awesome!! thank you so much..

[@NerdSyncProductions]

SuperShamim21 Twice! Haha, you're welcome!

[@zedshrooms3582]

I'm assuming aquaman getting his hand back when he was resurrected was because he was restored to his original self, since his body healed so did his hand, I guess?

[@Burning-Twilight]

+Zed Shrooms Yup that's basically it.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Sounds about right.

[@coolaz414]

7:22 That moment was prefect. Never saw that coming.

[@wii2b]

Your humour in this video is at its finest! A++

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Hahaha, thank you!

[@PhotonKingShark77]

Well it got me hooked on the comic.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Puns!

[@revan0890]

I liked the Cartoon Aquaman hand loss story the most.

[@erikponciano]

That Rob Liefeld insert was very funny. But what Charybdis is doing to that globe in 1:48 is funnier.

[@DavidTheron]

nice one Scott!

[@williamholtzclaw3029]

10 seconds in, you have earned a like

[@NerdSyncProductions]

HUZZAH!

[@AHeroAlmost]

I'm "hooked" to your videos...l'll leave now...

[@ro_thing]

"The first time Aquaman lost his hand- which would be a ridiculous phrase to say if we weren't talking about comics." Or Star Wars. It works there too.

[@virus2226]

I liked how in the justice league cartoon he cut it off to save his son when they were straped to rock that would fall into lava. Made him bad ass.

[@mirkecWii]

I am interested for the aquaman movie,I wanna see how good cgi water will be

[@NerdSyncProductions]

It's probably pretty good. Or it's horrible. There is no in between.

[@a.morphous66]

Recreating water with CGI has been essentially perfected by now. In fact, they even had to tone down the realism in Finding Nemo (made in 2003) because it looked too real compared to the cartoon aesthetic of the rest of the movie. It would be a straight-up miracle if DC manages to screw it up.

[@Xob_Driesestig]

How is THE MARTIAN the representation of the element EARTH?!?

[@hillelfinder428]

+xbob Driesestig Ah! Through the power of processes of elimination!

[@ThePsychoticBee]

Earth can just mean rock

[@bigbowss9817]

Because he had to choose between Earth and Mars during Brightest Day and chose Earth. Read the story, its really good...

[@NerdSyncProductions]

What he said ^^^

[@hillelfinder428]

Big Bowss Humm... I need to read that comic someday!

[@grooveechainsaw]

Even though I'm primarily a DC fan Aquaman is probably the DC character I was least familiar with ( I could have sworn he talked to fish ! ) I knew he'd lost a hand but didn't know how, I even knew about the water hand but didn't know how he got it. Great episode -- Like ! Maybe do an episode on comics characters who have lost limbs ! Besides Aquaman you've got Rick from "The Walking Dead" and Luke Skywalker in "The Empire Strikes Back" ... there are probably more. Captain Lefty ? The Amazing Peg ?

[@goaway0001]

I'd love to see you do an episode about the 90s. It was such a bizarre time for comics

[@krim7]

The Justice League version was so much better.

[@barrygallagher9165]

ha ha ha ha ha. I love puns !

[@NerdSyncProductions]

I couldn't help myself!

[@pontush.1557]

Great episode!!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Thank you!

[@caitlynm5346]

I loved Aquaman's New 52 run too! It was amazing! Love him and Mera, I think the harpoon hand looked the coolest.

[@nikolaerceg224]

If every comic fan says he is underrated then how is he underrated.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Probably frequency illusion. Most people I know think aquaman is lame.

[@nikolaerceg224]

***** Whens the next vid? Keep up with the great videos.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

[@Estarfigam]

Not the biggest fan of Aquaman, yet strangely enough I like Squirrel Girl

[@NerdSyncProductions]

+Everette Bradfute She's great too!

[@Estarfigam]

Maybe it's because the edgiest she ever got was pine over Daredevil.

[@LunaticReason]

I gotta hand it to you this was an informative video.

[@ciscoduncan1490]

The magical blue hand was coolest for me. Thanks for the video.

[@poonji79]

3:33 That did not age well

[@SkitterComic]

Seems odd that AM can be impervious to harm... but he keeps getting his arm severed or eaten easily. And he's so strong, but for some reason he can't just smash the rocks to free his hand and save his kid? Comic book writers... some consistency please.

[@Zane13pyro]

+John Vogel (Skitter Comic) that is true I just assumed that the chains were made to hold his people and that AM weakness are his hands not been as tough as the rest of his body but that's me being a kid I guess lol

[@a.morphous66]

Well, Aquaman would be able to injure himself with his immense strength countering his massive durability. So Justice League Animated’s story makes the most sense.

[@TheBlindDyslexic]

Would love to see you do a NerdSync about Rom Spaceknight.

[@RockinRhinox]

I like him with both hands but I always thought that hand that the Lady of the Lake gave him was a cool story and really creative. I always thought that the "A" shaped belt buckle was his symbol more than anything and I feel that nowadays his trident has become more of a symbol for him than the harpoon.

[@XAVIERCUERVO]

I can command a water buffalo !!!!

[@krim7]

Thank goodness my power to command animals is based upon my mastery of the English language, for if I spoke any other language, this noble beast would simply ignore me.

[@TheRonaldvalerio]

+XAVIERCUERVO and a water melon!!!

[@danfors1333]

Aquaman would become the most powerful superhero in the world if just if someone just add "water-" in front of every word in the dictionary.

[@noodledude2171]

"a fiery villainess named Corona..."

[@Neuroticmancer]

Great episode, very funny

[@nautilusinthejungle]

Out of all of them, I like the DCAU explanation of how and the what ever version that would be under.

[@busterwhite0]

Sooo can he command Cthulhu?

[@JTierney119]

Yes, he has done it before

[@TheBoundFenrir]

+JTierney119 Which is silly even beyond the obvious; Cthulhu is NOT, as advertised, a water creature. If you check out the stories about him, his home is an underwater city because it's basically atlantis (that is, it was built on the surface, but then fell in). This is good for everyone else because Cthulhu's powers are restricted by water; the fact that R'lyeh is at the bottom of the ocean stops him from using his psychic powers to control people on the surface. He doesn't WANT to be in the ocean, he's STUCK down there. So if what Aquaman is saying is true, and he commands ocean life and they respect his orders because he's the king atlantean, then that means Cthulhu would both not be under his influence, and even if he was given orders he isn't Aquaman's subject (being from his own 'royal' line.)

[@blazingnerd9838]

Or do you mean. Commhand Cthulhu

[@s-boy4613]

Doubt it. if DC is staying true to the Cthulu mythos. Cthulu doesn't orignate from earth. but from the void of space. so does not fall under Aquaman's command.

[@thejammysideoflife2673]

50th comment!!!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Fantastic!

[@thejammysideoflife2673]

+NerdSync hey Scott, I just wanna say thanks so much for always creating such great vids. To be honest, you inspire me as one day I can hopefully have a channel half as good as yours. So yeah, thanks.😊😊😊

[@NerdSyncProductions]

That's super encouraging to hear! Thank you!

[@thejammysideoflife2673]

How did Aquaman lose his hand?... Who gives a crap?!!! Let's talk about Civil War 😂

[@NerdSyncProductions]

If only I had known!

[@MrYungReggie]

+NerdSync I know you'll make a video about it soon lol. Perhaps you could let people know the difference between the comic story and the movie story of Civil War.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

***** Definitely on my list!

[@MrYungReggie]

+NerdSync Cool! Looking forward to it bro.

[@jesuscorona5118]

+Reggie Taylor yes he should talk about that

[@bigbowss9817]

Water Hand was definitly his most powerful upgrade, but I never knew he had 3 variations of that harpoon hand. Thanks for making me learn something ***** :)

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Always happy to!

[@TheFilmGuyOfficial]

Hey Scott Id love to see you do a video on Hype and how that relates to comics We have so many "Big Events" in comics theses days with the new civil war, convergence etc, Comic companies are trying to hype us up to buy more comics to get more excited about issues and the story lines. but its happening so much that they are all starting to feel rather Bland & "BLAH" hardcore fans are saying they are going to skip events entirely and what that could mean for the future of comics as sales are still going down. possibly brining up the hype of star Wars TFA how Star wars is the biggest and highest Growcing franchise of all time when you consider all the movies plus books video games,Mech, add Encodement and of course toys. and even know the prequels went all that well received. they all still made a lot money. since the 70s toy sales really haven't gone down even know were have only been getting movies every 10 years.. TFA has been the previous record of pre ticket sales buy x10. this has never Happend before in history and also that the prequels went so perhaps it isn't about quality as much as it is the build up to the event.. I hope this makes sense i'm typing as i'm thinking here haha Anyways Id love to hear your thoughts ;) TFG

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Y'know, I've wanted to tackle a topic like this. I'm one of those people who skip event comics a lot because usually only one in every three or four is actually worth reading. I feel like events stop feeling like events when the happen so often. I'd like them to go a few years of just telling regular stories, and then introduce a BIG event.

[@TheFilmGuyOfficial]

Yeah I totally agree. They just do them to sell comics. and Half the time they wont even comic to the repercussions of the event. out of fear of loosing more sales.

[@MrKiafp]

You should definitely do an episode about the Runaways. I've always wondered if Molly being sleepy after using her strength powers is more realistic than other extra strength super heroes.

[@SKO49]

duuuuude!!!! i laughed so hard with your "pointless" joke!!!!! it is just the kind of jokes i tell my friends and then they punch me

[@patrickwall5433]

I have a question, maybe a good one for your new response videos. I was not into comics as a kid. Now I find myself being a big fan of many comic super heros. But my only experience with them is the movies, podcasts, and channels like yours. I really want to get into comics but, there are so many time lines, and universes, and confusing things. How do I enter this world with any idea about what is going on? Where the hell to I start?

[@Burning-Twilight]

+Patrick Wall Well marvel has been launching a bunch of New issue one books under the all new all different marvel imprint. Fairly certain that most of the books wont require expensive backtracking. For DC just try and stick to books in the New 52 and DC YOU imprints.

[@Nayops23]

3:35 Idk why I died out of laughter in that part lol

[@agentzero5181]

In JLA : New World Order (issues 1-4 1997) Aquaman has a great line fighting Zum who says "You must be Aquaman. What can you do? You can't fly or run fast, can you? Your skin may be tough but not so tough I can't just... cut through. What can you do, apart from talk to Fish?" Aquaman replies "Let me think. I can locate your brain's Basal Ganglia, the part inherited from your marine ancestors... And just for starers, I give you a seizure." Zum spends the rest of fight convulsing on ground. My all time favorite use Of Aquamans Powers. That said at any given point in DC's long publication history most character powers change to fit a writers needs. Aquaman is no exception at all .

[@shannonbowens5123]

Hay Scott I was wondering if you could do another deadpool video I am new to the show and I really want to see another one please I love your videos your the best

Would be awsome to have Black Manta in a second movie teasing to cut Aquaman´s hand off but not succeeding, and having him loosing it anyway like he did in the JL animated series. When I discovered this version of Aquaman in the 90´s as a kid I started to like Aquaman so that´s my favorite version. Loved to see Jason Momoa impersonating it in the movies.

the version of him from the Justice League cartoon was freakin badass

Could you make an episode on Anthony Zucco? I always thought he was really interesting in Batman: Year Three

[@mraaronludwig]

Lol! That intro though!

The new 52 run of aquaman is sooooo good I binge red volumes 1-6 and they were amazing

[@NerdSyncProductions]

My absolute favorite version of Aquaman!

[@pastypaleproductions6515]

Yes! An Aquaman video! I completely agree that he is indeed one of the most underappreciated comic characters. But if more people read the comics in particular the New 52 run, I believe people would change their minds about him. And even though overall I prefer Aquaman with two hands he does look pretty awesome with that harpoon hand. As far as if he looses his hand in the current run of Aquaman comics or even the future film, I would prefer that he looses it in the same vein as the Justice League cartoon show in a heroic way. Because getting his hand eaten by piranhas is kind of lame.

Scott: He does not talk to fish! Batfleck: I hear you can talk to fish.

bm was trying to get a rise out of aquaman

[@MoCa1979Jr]

The mystic water hand was the best idea to me. It symbolizes his connection to water & it gives him other abilities aside from enhanced physical prowess (which let's face is seems to be the JL normal of super-strength, stamina, and great durability). And unlike that absurd harpoon hand, it functions just like his normal hand, but still has its own unique look.

[@steverino6954]

in the superfriends cartoon, Aquaman would use telepathy to command sea life. They portrayed in with circle effects emanating from his head accompanied by a sound effect. (He did sometimes talk DURING this process, but that seemed to more of a case of him talking to himself, just like the rest of the Superfriends, as a way for the audience to understand what he was doing.)

Hey Scott, I was wondering if you could do a Comic Misconceptions on Big Hero 6 more specifically about why even though Disney despite own Marvel, Disney classifies the characters in the movie as being Disney Originals (in all products relating to the movie), even though it was originally a Marvel comic book series (they even teamed up with both the X-Men and Spider-man in the comics). Think about it, when the movie was being promoted Marvel didn't reprint any of their comics nor were they reintroduced back into the mainstream 616 universe. The reason I ask this is because I had a conversation about this with my friend at collage and neither of us could come up with a hypnotically realistic reason. So I'm asking if you can please shed some light on this for us. If your reading this, Please respond if you are able to . Signed, A curious subscriber

I honestly don't have any idea. Sorry :/

[@OwenLikesComics]

+NerdSync said 'How and Why' at 6:22, I'm classing that as a reference.

[@MopeeDuck]

+Owen Likes Comics i wonder what how and why is ....... do go on

[@stephenalcocer7029]

Cool, I had thought that Aquaman had replaced his hand with his trident, or part of it, so as to embody his Royal status and Power more literally. I liked Aquaman as a kid too, my dad had a bunch of the Hana Barbara cartoons on tape
