See, I'd assumed that was because Arthur's royal blood bypassed the effect. Perhaps the same reason why Wonder Woman was able to hold out against it for as long as she did.Baresark said:I found it entertaining, but my biggest issue with the film is technical. The fights were a little hard to swallow. For instance: Superman attacks Orm he gets deflected and hurt by the magic Trident, which is fine, but then when Arthur attacks he is magically not deflected or able to dodge the attack. Also, when the guys at the beginning were beating on Arthur, he clearly felt those hits and wasn't just standing there taking it, but then he is strong enough to fight off someone who essentially threw Superman to the side.
To me this always feels lazy because they didn't put in the time to orchestrate the fights in a believable way.
Haha, this is pretty much my conclusion. I feel like they were trying to bolster his "coolfactor" because in general, Aquaman is kind of a joke for a lot of people. He is a good character but a lot of people don't know about him besides he "talks to fish".Fanghawk said:See, I'd assumed that was because Arthur's royal blood bypassed the effect.

On the other hand, it's more likely they just thought knocking Superman aside would look cool.
Neither do I, it's generic and likes the polish or story telling skill that Bruce Timm and co built up for years.ShakerSilver said:Meh. I don't like the direction they've taken with their animated films,
that's because they areBob_McMillan said:I feel like Under the Red Hood and even Young Justice were waaayyyy more mature than Throne of Atlantis
I think they've been trying too hard or better yet thy emulated the Nu52 not choosing the wrong tone and not adequately pulling it off. Timm McDuffie and all them nu what they wanted from the ground up and kept things consistent.even though they never showed all the gory parts in Under the Red Hood and Young Justice. I kind of just rolled my eyes when anyone was killed in ridiculous ways by Mera. She literally slaughtered DOZENS of her innocent countrymen just so the film could say "Hey, hey, wait up! We're totes edgy and dark guys! You like that shit right? RIGHT?!".
My problem is Cyborg was more than a Titan in his original run (even in the same space of time as the Nu52) but in JL that's all he is, a JL member.One good thing for me about the film is that it made me despise Cyborg a little less. I still believe that he's in the Justice League pretty much only for "diversity". Of all the Teen Titans, Cyborg was the only one who actually stuck around a bit for each incarnation. Removing that from him (and erasing the old Teen Titans for a lot less interesting version) made him so much less interesting. But he had a better "performance" than any of the characters there in my opinion.

Why the hell can Superman and Wonder Woman both breath and talk underwater? And while I'm at it why was Batman able to survive the deep pressures involved with being that deep under the sea.
