the concept exists, but the shameless copying shouldnt

the paint by numbers recreation of the Avengers shot is horrible because it so desperately wants to be them, but the powers of these characters make this nonsensical

they COPIED everything, literally down to a guy riding in a vehicle (cap/motorcycle batman/car), or guy with a mech suit flying along. How is Aquaman even keeping up at 100 mph? He cant fly. Why is Flash jogging only at 100 mph? Just slowing down for the shot? Wonder Woman can fly now? I thought she couldnt. She didnt fly anywhere in Whedon's JL.
she can fly, she can also hurl herself anywhere she wants.

I think this was a massive, massive improvement... that still doesn't really make a great movie. This is passable, like a 6/10; the theatrical release was just so awful and disjointed that this is a masterpiece by comparison. I'm not sure where the complaints about the audio come from though, this played in atmos for me with a 5.1.4 setup and it was fantastic from an audio perspective

I hate to be “that guy” but technically WW could fly in 1984 (there is one of the worst scenes ever filmed when she flies in WW84) so she can fly in JL.

The scene was absolutely a nod to avengers. Did Whedon do Ultron?

yes, its a convenient power bloat for 1984

fact is, when they did BvS which i guess is "present time" and AFTER WW84 - she didnt fly at all, from what i remember. which would have super useful against a 10 story monster who kills superman

this franchise is such ass, they cant even agree on what superpowers a character should have from 1 director to the next in same universe

Dude? Aquaman is a fuckin beast -


Also his speed on land is legit also - learn your peeps


WW can fly, nothing new - again you can google half the things you are commenting on

Anyways while i didnt care too much for the original i give this a 7.5/8 or 10 - Seeing DS in this and the gaps being filled made even the 4hour slug worth it. This is something that should never be in theaters but is well worth it on the home theater.

I still dont like Aflec as Batman -
I still hate how The Flash feels so forced and out of place (to me)
Some of Cyborgs dialogue is meh

That aside id have loved for the fight when Superman came back to be a bit closer to comic, Aquaman and him could go toe to toe a bit better than that.

This mfer can dodge lightning strikes but you say it doesnt mention his speed? - Tell me bro, how fast you gotta be to dodge lightning strikes and bullets?


When it comes to swimming, no one is faster than Aquaman. However, on land, things are much different. To keep up with his fellow Leaguers, Aquaman utilizes a superhuman jump. He can leap unknown distances at hypersonic speeds, generating so much force that he's potentially able to capsize a boat simply by landing on it. This power isn't limited to land, though. Coupled with his unmatched speed in the water, Aquaman is capable of launching himself up to 60 feet out of the water.

Interestingly, leaping at such speeds, across such distances, can give off the illusion that he's flying, which may be what comic book readers have come to interpret as unaided flight.

I agree with you the movie production timeline doesn’t make any sense.

I still think WW was a beast in this version of JL and was just fucking great. She decapitated. steppenwolf!

Literally from the same section of that entry

Aquaman can travel at much faster speeds for short "sprints." He has also been seen swimming at 10,000 feet per second. It's unknown how long he can keep up that amount of speed though. With his incredible speed in the water, Aquaman is able to create giant whirlpools. In some comics it has been stated that he can swim faster than a shark, but in other cases he can swim as fast as 175 mph, far faster then a shark. But for the most part, Arthur has displayed speed faster than torpedos, and has even beat a Giant plane that was going at hypersonic speeds(mach 5 or above) to an

You're just embarrassing yourself now

Stop being stupid that only mentioned underwater the other mentioned land - Furthermore this Aquaman is supposedly based more off the badass New 52 version of Aquaman - his burst are faster than his sustained on land and water hence why he can dodge lightning - you can gripe and bitch but its already been in the comics so your whining means nothing.

is that normal?

Sterling answered you already, but I want to add that generally movies that do this generally have a variable aspect ratio when being shown on non-Imax screens for theaters. Some of them keep that variable aspect ratio when they come to home media, but a lot of them lose it.

The Dark Knight, for example, had a full Imax cut, and also showed in theaters and switched aspect ratios (which most people dont notice cause they do it during action scenes, which tend to be the most engrossing) for when Nolan really wanted to show everything they filmed, then back for scenes that didnt need the whole frame.

But then when the movie went to Blu-ray and streaming, the bluray can do the aspect switch, but streams (I think, it may have changed now) are fixed in widescreen.

tl;dr: its all over the place and I dont even know how much is up to the director past the initial cut of the movie shown in theaters.

i wonder why they didnt mention land? 🤔

underwater speed from 100 mph to 7000 mph, rofl. thats quite the range

A bolt of lightning travels at approximately 224,000 miles per hour or approximately 3,700 miles per second. Lightning is a discharge of static electricity that has accumulated as a result of collisions between ice particles in storm clouds.

so aquaman can literally go NYC to LA in less than a second?
