BvS Jason Momoa is Aquaman! - Part 2

Ease down there... I could practically feel the saliva coming off your chops, young lady.

lol... I'm consistent when it comes to hot, shirtless men.

Jason Momoa was shirtless for all of Conan The Barbarian

I know but I did not cite it as a successful example because it was more of a bungled attempt (like the awful movie it was for). He did not maintain the same shape throughout the movie like say Gerard Butler in 300. Momoa's size and definition varied wildly throughout the film. By his own admission, the movie began filming after he had had only three weeks of training! And that for the first portion of filming they tried to cover his belly with a hanging cloth or harness or shreds or something like that because his abs were not ready.

So while he did go shirtless for the entire movie, he did not quite pull it off. It is definitely a big physical challenge. If he has to do it for Aquaman, it would require 5-6 months (and not three weeks) of training before filming begins and a demanding maintenance regime for the duration of the suit to maintain his shape to not result in wild continuity errors.

I have no desire to see a shirtless Momoa for neither ogling purposes, nor conceptual purposes. He does nothing for me and even if he did, it'd be rather odd to have him interacting with the others without a shirt all the time. Scale mail would be better.

I agree, I'd prefer to see him in the classic outfit

That'd be pretty sexist if you reversed roles. I can barely say Gal is sexy without being viewed as misogynistic.

I agree. I'd much rather have a deftly written character, than just somebody seen without a shirt to show off his muscles.

I have no problem with you saying Gal is hot and I wouldn't be bothered if you said you were consistent with hot, shirtless women. I would not view you as misogynistic. So feel free to say it.

I was just thinking the same thing. They don't look right, somehow, and their baggy design makes them clearly unsuitable for swimming.

I would have the sleeves finish in cuffs encrusted with mother of pearl and other shells.

Well he doesn't wear dishwashing gloves anymore. They're sort of tight fitted on his hands and then he wears the Atlantis "A" as gauntlets for his forearms.

Kevin Smith talks Jason Momoa:
Well, I think most people of course when they think of f****** Aquaman, they think of the traditional cartoon version, but the current version or incarnation is he's a badass king of the seven seas, a warlord to some degree. So I could see where they would get away with casting this dude.

[After looking at a phoot of Momoa and Aquaman side by side] Yeah I'll buy it. Will they blonde his hair, you think? It's awesome. Think about it dude, they used to make fun of Aquaman all the time. Aquaman, he only talks to f****** fishes. F****** say that to that dude's face.

 

[slumcat]

I kinda wonder the credence given to Kevin Smith. Like who is he basically - a dollar opinion machine or something? I see his views as not in any way more significant than expressed in this or any forum. Its not like he's involved or anything in any imaginable way. Isn't he basically like a fat fanboy who sometimes directs on the side.

 

[Rodrigo90]

He's writing 66 inspired Batman comics

I'm surprised he didn't know about the casting before. Unless he was playing coy about it.

I have a way on how to introduce magic into the DCCU: Wonder Woman vs Aquaman: Dawn of Magic.

Pretty much.

Kevin Smith is more qualified than most us to comment imo. He actually writes big time comics FFS. That on top of having multiple comic book centric ventures like stores, tv shows, and podcasts.

 

[Rorschach2012]

what's with the Kevin Smith disrespect? The dude has major hollywood connections and he's friends with Ben Affleck, he basically put Ben Affleck on the map before Good Will Hunting

More qualified to comment on what, exactly?

If he hadn't been shown a picture of Batman before the rest of us, nobody would be paying him any attention. I think it's safe to say that he knows a bit more than we do about what's going on (or can use whatever connections he might or might not have to find out), but I doubt he's as in-the-know as some would have you believe.

His comments are usually nothing more than his own speculation and it should be treated as such.

what's with the Kevin Smith disrespect?

It's not disrespect. I have nothing against him.

The dude has major hollywood connections and he's friends with Ben Affleck...

Didn't they have a falling out after he (Smith) made a disparaging comment about his wife?

I can't picture anyone wearing the classic orange and green and be taken seriously or look intimidating. It's way too campy. Remember, a lot of people and media outlets think Aquaman is a joke (see Robot Chicken) so I'm sure they'll want to make him look like he can kick some serious ***. Look at Momoa in Game of Thrones, scars, tribal/war paint on his body. Who would want to mess with him? Green pants are ok but shirtless is the way to go cuz orange shirt, really? I would add some scales on his torso a-la Mystique from X-Men films.
