Namor the Sub-Mariner

[psylockolussus]

I think I could settle to a Marvel Studios' Special Presentation: Namor. But 1 hour longer than Werewolf by Night and promote it heavily, so it would get plenty of buzz online.

The more I think about it, I prefer the straight to streaming films than a siX to nine episode series. It would be the same length as the Phase 1 to 4 movies, then there would be fewer filler scenes and the vfX could be more polished since its not 4 hours and a half of screentime.

It’s funny, that it’s not pronounced Neimor but Nah-morrrr

Would be good if he could get a full-on, high budget film. Looking really awesome in the marketing. Can’t wait to see him in WF.

And Neymar was taken...

 

[Albright]

lol never saw that similarity. Hope he doesn’t cry, when someone hits him…

He will be diving and rolling around on the floor.

Bill Everett: This guy's based on ancient civilizations, so he's Roman, but backwards.
Marvel Studios:

Spoiler

He grew up unloved in Mexico, so he's "the boy without love" in Spanish (but a contraction)

Well looking at it another way, inverse of "Roman" (at the time of encounter by way of Columbus(Italian), was in fact the Carib and Mesoamericans.

LOL that's pretty hokey, but charming obviously extraneous notion(clearly not part of the film). Though now I can't un-hear it that way.

Tiger Shark should be the villain!

what I don't get about the change to the backstory...

is that being now of Aztec heritage (supposedly somewhere off the coast of Mexico?) why would they be traveling all the way to Wakanda? or vice-versa

I guess I just don't know/understand enough about the story yet

Wakanda isn't even usually suggested to be near the coast line (more in land/ central Africa)

have these two Cultures clashed before? is there a history between the people? were they even aware of each other? outside of myth and legend

is Tlālōcān in this case an actual physical place you can travel, too? or is it more of a realm (like Asgard)? are they considered God like?

The movie explains how and why, but it's not satisfying or well done. These are my problems with the film. The conflict with Namor/Talokan makes no sense and is badly thought out and put together.

Also, Wakanda is literally smack dab in the middle of Africa. There's really no way they should be able to get into Wakanda.

I thought they did a decent job.

As far as Wakandas location...well, it seems like they did a bit of retconning

Nope.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Nope.

Is this from the 2nd film because if not..that is a point of a retcon. They clearly show Wakanda has rivers and lakes and those give Namor and his people access to Wakanda.

 

[TheVileOne]

It's from Civil War.

Also, in Infinity War they literally put a vibranium shield over the city blocking out Thanos' forces at least temporarily.

They are a landlocked country, lakes, rivers, or no.

 

[SirStrangefolk]

They are a landlocked country, lakes, rivers, or no.

Based on the location of Wakanda the Talokanil would be able to more or less swim through the Mediterranean, enter the Nile delta, swim upstream through to the White Nile and pass through Western Wakanda that way, I guess? And use their technology to flood any parts that might be too shallow or has waterfalls . Might still be a bit far fetched to do that undetected, but hey the movie needs to happen somehow right? It's not like other Marvel movies don't completely ignore travel time and restrictions and such regularly when a character needs to go to some other part of the world.

There's no way they should've been able to get into the middle of the capital undetected when Wakanda KNEW they were coming and knew they were an underwater civilization. Not to mention, Wakanda has super-advanced vibranium shield technology and barriers.

It’s funny, that it’s not pronounced Neimor but Nah-morrrr

I noticed that while Namor himself pronounced his name "Nah-mor" the Wakandans like Queen Ramonda pronounced it "Nay-mor". In this case I don't think there's a wrong way to pronounce it, it just depends on the accent.

 

[Iceman]

I loved Namor in this and can't wait to see him in future projects.

I've always pronounced Nah-mor because of my accent, so I loved that in the movie.

Yeah, I'd love a solo movie. Or even a D+ show.

 

[Albright]

I don‘t see Namor getting a solo movie…

Spoiler

not after what he did to Ramonda.

Yeah... that was bad. I didn't like that.

Spoiler

It's going to be hard to redeem him.

But didn't Victoria Alonso talk something about him possibly getting a movie? I thought she did.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I still want a Marvel Studios: Namor The Sub-Mariner movie.

Spoiler: Wakanda Forever

Even with the fact that he killed Queen Ramonda, it could be part of his redemption arc.

Spoiler

If Scarlet Witch can be redeemed as is looking likely, I think Namor can too.

 

[SirStrangefolk]

Spoiler

Yeah, also Loki killed a whole bunch of people including Coulson and yet people like him and he got his own show in which he is the heroic character.

 

[Albright]

Scarlet Witch never killed someone BEFORE MoM
