nah, i didn't get the idea fr0m marvel fans on youtube. Early 2018, marvel releases a film detailing a hidden civilised african nati0n, has a royalty theme of 2 siblings battling for the crown. 1 is a full bred wakandan, the other is seen as an outcast due to the machinati0ns of the thr0ne.
Late 2018, Dc releases a film abt a hidden civilised underwater nati0n, has the r0yalty theme of 2 brothers battling for the thr0ne. Our hero is n0w the outcast due to the machinati0ns of the thr0ne, the villain is the full bred atlantean. The side villain even has the name 'black manta', the previous release was titled 'black panther'. Our villain even does the wakandan salute in0rder to use his suit. He is played by a black man who has a beard that l0oks like the other black guy who played black panther.
Aside, in black panther the villain was the cocky one, in this, it's the hero that is. In Panther, so many tribes make up wakanda, in Aquaman, so many tribes make up atlantis.
Comic books... Anybody huh

Black Panther and Aquaman share some similarities.

YES.

But still... Aquaman's story, the hidden kingdom, the seven kingdoms of Atlantis, evil half brother.

All that story that make up Arthur's arc was established 25 years before Stan Lee created Black Panther.

So instead of Aquaman being Black Panther underwater, it should actually be the other way round.

Calling Aquaman Black Panther underwater is making mockery of the comic book storyline which was established 25 years before Black Panther.

It makes it look like Aquaman's story got inspiration from Black Panther.
Which is not true.

Some fans have called him Thor underwater because he has an evil half brother, wields a magic weapon and is heir to the throne of a special kingdom.

I can deal with that....

But Black Panther....

Nah....

Anything but that. undecided

In conclusion, I say we stop the comparison and celebrate the fact that we getting two comic book royalties in the same year smiley

Exactly. You see, WB had all these characters right fr0m the dawn of c0mic bo0ks, yet there was no m0vie abt them. N0w, a rival studio starts making films of unkn0wn characters and turning them into instant hits, and all of a sudden, WB wants to start making these films just the way its rival is doing, and we d0n't want c0mparis0ns? I want Aquaman to b0mb so WB can sit back and think again. They ruined Justice League for me, having Aquaman be a hit w0n't teach them a less0n.
So you saying WB made Aquaman movie because Black Panther was a hit. huh

What the hell undecided

WB started planning Aquaman movie way back in 2014.

2014

So this talk about WB producing Aquaman to be a reply to Black Panther.... Like a clap back or something.

That stuff ain't true.

This is not like old days when WB only made Batman and Superman movies.

Things have changed.

They are finally building a cinematic universe based on DC comics which is great.

And you can't have a cinematic universe without making movies for unknown characters.

Aquaman is not even an unknown character to start with.
He is an A-list character in DC comics and he's already popular even before Justice League.

How can you build a cinematic universe without making movies for characters not named Batman or Superman.

Like how is that even possible. huh

Unless you want a return to the old days of Batman and Superman movies.....then we wouldn't even see Wonder Woman on big screen not to mention Aquaman or Flash.

No we never said that.

Marvel already had plans for Captain Marvel but was getting cold feet about the movie because of the perpetual failure of female superhero movies in the past.

So when DC did Wonder Woman and it became a critical and commercial success.

It gave Marvel execs the confidence to push forward with a Captain Marvel movie.

This is not balant claim... Or a speculation.

It is something that Kevin Feige admitted to the public with his own mouth in all honesty.

Thanks to feminism.

The tides are changing for female superheroes and that is great.

I thought shelving future Justice League movies to focus on solo movies is a good idea.

Solo movies has always been DC's strength.

But what do you suggest.
What do you really want WB to do.?

you just jampacked everything to make you believe that you are making sense.

1.) aquaman is the reverse of black panter if you thoughtfully analyze it

2.) the aquaman film was adapted from the new 52 comics and the throne of atlantis, not some overrated black panther

3.) it's safe to conclude you've never read a dc or a marvel comic cause blackmanta came way before black panther and the aquaman plot has always existed before now.

4.) Aquaman finished filming way before Black Panthers release date, 85%-90% of the film production wrapped up around the ending of 2017 november, creating more time to focus on cgi.

lastly, if you still believe aquaman is a blackpanther rip-off, then blackpanther is also a rip-off of the lion king. #peace bro

It's just a coincidence, honestly. The movie plot has always been Aquaman's origin story before Black Panther was even a comic. Black Manta has always been black, has always been named Black Manta and Yahya Abdul-Mateen doesn't even bear a remote resemblance to Chadwick Boseman. If you want to jump ship to Marvel, nobody is holding you. But don't be spewing unnecessary negativity on this thread.
am a DC fan boy at heart. Just n0t a fan of WB. I aint jumping ship. Me spewing negativity is as a result of what WB keeps dishing out. They treat DC properties like they've no faith in them. They are m0re free with the animati0n department and the tv shows, n0w l0ok at the outc0me.

lol. It was practically after ir0n man and CA: TWS that WB saw a potential to Aquaman being successfull. Years after marvel got a fo0ting was when WB thought of a WW or Aquaman film. They are even scared of c0mmitting to a Flash m0vie or Cyborg m0vie. Oh, they are waiting to see how marvel does with what before they begin plans.
WB didn't see potential to an Aquaman m0vie till marvel's unkn0wn characters became hits, lol. Am n0t just talking about Aquaman being a reacti0n to BP but to marvel.
Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by philfearon(m): 7:17pm On Nov 20, 2018
And the funny thing is that Warner Bros doesn't actually care if Aquaman bombs or not... They are having one of their best years in profit already with their already released box office hits.

It's like i said, Aquaman will be a hit because there ain't much fanfare... Moreover, the Amazon Prime pre-release plan they are adopting already worked 2/2 with huge box office hits...

Then again, the chances of Aquaman being a flop is 50%, so it's also the chances of success...

As for me, i just want to watch a movie...

The truth is that WB did not have a plan for a Universe until after Man of Steel. Aquaman is a daring move, I think the movie will do well because it is going to break new grounds in underwater CGI scenes. This will resonate well with the film industry.

WB had no plans for a DC Cinematic universe until MOS failed to hit a billion dollar at the B. O. Russell Crowe said this when he hinted at having signed a multi picture deal to play Jor El. I think Snyder was the one who came up with the idea for it for WB.

Henry Cavill is not out yet.
He is still Superman until he hangs his cape and announces to the public that he's not.

Until then, ignore the rumours.
