Don’t get me started on Zack Snyder, who is currently in production on Warner Bros. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Even though Watchmen is actually pretty great, over the course of a weeklong viewing session, and I do love Dawn of the Dead, I think he’s purely a visual director who can’t tell a story worth a lick (proof is in the awful Sucker Punch and Man of Steel.
So, the man who can’t develop an interesting character if he tries, is attempting to tell superhero fans that Aquaman could be “badass”?
Reports CBS Detroit:
Aquaman has some cool abilities. I think people are like, “What, does he talk to animals or fish?” That’s what people think. The cool thing with Aquaman is that his trident, it could cut the flesh of Superman if they came in contact – that’s in the canon. He’s super strong because he can exist at these depths. Not to say he’s in my movie or anything like that, but I’m just saying he has the potential to be pretty badass.
Uhm, sorry, bro, but I don’t think so. Clearly, Snyder is attempting to defend the character because of his top secret appearance in Batman v Superman (it’s still unconfirmed as Jason Momoa is rumored to play the character), which I’m sure will be as mediocre as the movie will be.
As exciting as the Comic-Con teaser was, let’s just remember that what was shown was a 30-second clip from an otherwise two-hour long movie that will be bloated with heavy visual effects and no character depth. I am praying that I’m wrong because I want nothing more than to love Synder and his action films.
