Marvel live-action television...

They would have to come up with a totally new technique for showing the Atlanteans talking underwater. Given the complexity of the visual effects in most of those sequences, most (if not all) of the dialogue would be ADR anyway, so they'd have plenty of freedom to play with it. They would definitely have to sound different underwater than they do on the surface. You could almost devote a whole tread to that discussion.

^I actually think the hair effects would be much harder to get right than the talking under water. The hair effects worked fine in the FOTR example I mentioned because it was in slow-motion. Getting it right in regular speed would most likely require CGI hair.

I would like to see a faithful as possible (including updated colorful superhero costumes) action packed live action POWER MAN AND IRON FIST TV series done in the same light hearted vein as the HERCULES TV series from the 90's.

^ I concur... that would be a good time.

Kendrell, as for hair FX... I agree. That issue translates to clothing, seaweed, background elements, etc. as well. Not sure what a viable approach might be...

About the talking... I understand that the Atlanteans can easily be depicted as talking to each other (telepathy, echo-communication converted to English for the sake of viewing, or just talking into the water). My comments were really directed at the issue in the linked article. Talking is the problem with lack of popularity in water films. And, if a Namor series were to include more than just Atlanteans, then there would be a couple of additional challenges... manageable ones, I believe... but still challenges.
