He's the best superhero of all time because he talks to fish.

You're retarded. It wasn't anywhere near the shitty quality of a Marvel movie. I have waited for Marvel to do a proper adventure-like movie since Thor 1 but since Thor 1, no movie came even close. Stop being a company war shill.

amber = attractive to nerds who worship elon musk
nicole = attractive to weirdos who still have a milf fetish
momoa = attractive to the GoT nerdgirl crowd
dafoe = attractive to Yea Forumsanons who appreciate kino (IMPRESSIVE!)
some negro playing black manta = attractive to sluts who like blacks
some white guy playing the villain = well at least he's not ugly and nerdy, so someone girls will find him attractive

james wan = attractive to chinks/gooks who want to watch an EPIC MOOBIE DIRECTED BY ONE OF OUR FELLOW AZNs

decent casting + popular director who doesn't go full-retard with liberal political commentary.

Zack Snyder didnt direct it

Not him, but it was entirely a Marvel Studios movie.
It's the same shit that you profess to hate, but in a different company wrapper, so you luv it nomnomnom. Personally I enjoy MCU films so I find Aquaman highly watchable, but a jarring divergence from the rest of the tryhard DCEU.

You can take your company wars and shove them.
Let's put it simply; sometimes you want to watch an unfrozen caveman fight sea creatures. And being out by itself on the calendar didn't hurt it at all, and having a Bugman director assisted it immensely overseas.

>And being out by itself on the calendar didn't hurt it at all
The revisionism is real!

>So, what the fuck went so damn right?
(Almost) completely ignored that the rest of the DCEU happened.

>having a Bugman director assisted it immensely overseas.
James Wan is a Bogan chink. Give it a rest that the movie’s success had to do with some retarded Asian pride bullshit.

/thread
The best part about it was that it cared enough to focus on being it's own thing

It paid as much attention to the DCEU as Deadpool 2 paid to Green Lantern.

Chinese are over 90% pride. And they don't dismiss their sea turtles as non Chinamen. In fact, your average Tiawanese or Hong Kong native will tell you how hard it is to cut the umbilical.
It got way outsize box office from China, for a DC movie.

it's Bayformers tier and those always make money + tailor made for chinabuxs

>having a Bugman director assisted it immensely overseas.
Wan is as close to being conventionally "Asian" as the rest of Melbourne, aka, not at all
This is the real reason. Probably would've made even more had the movies before it had been good as well.

>Simple... DC just made a Marvel movie.
Shit costumes and being a 2 hour trailer for the next team up event flick or referencing previous flicks

poor man's Black Panther, underwater and with more explosions and no competition.
>but bumblebee
the real reason Bumblebee flopped is because it didn't have Starscream, not because audiences finally got tired of Transformers movies.

Are you really dumb enough to think the Chinese living in Australia and Canada suddenly become non-Chinese to China?

>The movie was of high enough quality to impress the discerning Chinese movie-goer, who only outlays the big money for movies of the highest quality.

>no competition
Lmao at the revisionists in this thread

The movie was an Avatar cg ridden spectacle, of course the chinks would flock to it like moths to a flame. James Wan just knows what makes money

It’s a good movie, the cgi is better than anything Marvel has done, the final battle between Momoaman and Patrick Wilson make me feel like a kid watching DBZ again.

Aquaman made more in China than Man of Steel, BvS and Justice League combined.
China didn't even care to import Suicide Squad or Wonder Woman (and won't touch The Joker or Birds of Prey). They might not even screen WW84.

The difference is that Wan is a Bug-blood.

If you had stuck with "The cgi is better than any MCU solo movie", I might have entertained your point. But honestly you had to go Full Company Wars Retard.

They had WW in China. Now you’re just talking out your ass

You're gonna hear a lot about China but it still made 850mil without it. It was a fun adventure movie that played a rather silly character straight. It's no big mystery

It made more domestically than Spider-Man Homecoming

no one is ever going to talk about him like they did McCaughney (sp) or want to see him win an award, nor feel about the way they do say Keanu - but he is charismatic and likable as fuck.

Plus that body
