Aquaman.
How is it possible for Aquaman to have outgrossed any Superman, Batman and Wonderwoman movies? Just, how?

well, the movie looked better in the trailers, people liked Momoa, DC had many stinkers before, there was no competition as far as i remember, Amber Heard

https://youtu.be/WDkg3h8PCVU this trailer is as good if not better than Man of Steel's

Quality, I think the sequel flopped a little less than the more mega cape flops around it too and it deserved to, a little messy in parts but still better than all that other trash

Also both male and female leads very hot

honestly think this is it. Momoa got all the roasties juices flowing during GOT, and it was one of the only capeshit movies that women wanted to go to >Ending a sentence with a preposition is acceptable in casual communication,

James Wan is an actual good director
If WB just had Wan run the franchise instead of Snyder or Gunn they would have surpassed MCU 10x over

Wan hated making the second movie, specially when Gunn hijacked the movie.

Momoa looked cool and Wan made the underwater world look interesting. The final battle in the first movie looked cool despite the shitty CGI.

Gunn rewrote and reshot the movie. The movie got reshot twice. The studio put enormous pressure on Wan because the first one was so successful and then all the other shit happened with the divorce and WB fucking things up with the IP.

Came out during Christmas with no real competition. Mamoa was really popular at the time. It was huge in China.

The moms loved Momoa, the visuals were striking, Amber Heard was a ten, and the movie itself was fun escapism. I saw it opening weekend and enjoyed it.

Honest answer? Aquaman was the ONLY Snyderverse film that felt like a fun comic book movie instead of some dour melodrama. Jason is loveable, the visuals are colorful, fall the underwater stuff looks cool and creative. It was just entertaining.

Bataman and Superman took such a dark and brooding turn that it drove people away. To this day you have people arguing about Snyder Superman in places like this.

Reminder that

A. Wan went against studio mandates and sent dailies to Sneeder, despise the fact the uppoer management prohibited them from even contacting snyder
B. Second movie while decent enough, there is a different third act that was shot with Baffleck and his aquatic armor fighting in the last battle. Was removed for a Keaton cameo. Then reshot again following some Gunn's notes
C. Ivan Drago said they shot a different movie and that was much better.

Eventually we will see the James Wan cut. As long as you believe in God, Gunn's pseudo intellectual atheism has nothing against us.
It is not on the size of the army that victory in battle depends, but the strength that comes from Heaven.

I would love to but we still haven't even seen the Ayer cut of Suicide Squad, the disaster of the justice league director's cut clearly scared WB off of ever doing it again.

He looked cool and brought some much needed gravitas to the char, the script wasnt total dogshit and the effects, especially the final battle and him using the trident to boost control of the sea creatures was pretty epic.

Same happened with the comics.
The New 52 Aquaman run which inspired the movies is widely considered among the top 3 best series of the reboot if not THE best. It single handedly got me into reading DC regularly.

But it also kept the epic scale and power of the Snyder films. And while yes it fun it never ever felt parody-ish or maliciously degradatively silly like the Waititi Thor films.

The new 52 comics had already done that well before Snyder.

It was the first MCU movie made by DC and marketed as part of the snyderverse. Both sides gave it money hence the big box office numbers
