Stories regarding mythology were set to play a small role in later episodes. The first 13 episodes already planned out, with a possible story arc involving McCaffery being captured and taken back to Atlantis. Ideas for future episodes focused on environmental threats, such as "ocean polluters" and "evil oil companies". McCaffery informs Arthur, who would rather just skip to the ending, that "it isn't about the ending, it's about the journey". Arthur agrees to start his training, and McCaffery leaves him with Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2 to read. The next morning, McCaffery explains that there will be more creatures that will come looking for Arthur and that he should have started his training years prior.

AQUAMAN 2006 TV PILOT MOVIE
Ocean Master."Īt this point Gal Gadot and Jason Mamoa are the most charismatic and interesting characters in the DCEU so we need a cross-over movie made ASAP.Aquaman is an American superhero television pilot developed by Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar for The WB Television Network, based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The effects vary in quality and the underwater dialogue scenes are cringeworthy, but there's a vibrancy to everything that makes those scenes less noticeable.Īnd the fact that they pretty much double down on the absurdity and campiness of the whole Atlantean mythology and its subsequent characters makes the movie as a whole easier to digest.
The dude is a handsome hunk of a human being, but I totally see him actually doing that in real life.
AQUAMAN 2006 TV PILOT SERIES
There's a scene where a bunch of sea-faring crusty bar flies want a selfie with him and he's initially snobbish and unenthused, but then a series of snapshots (similar to The Hangover end credit scenes) show him getting wasted with those same bunch of guys. James Wan's Aquaman is decent popcorn fun that is seriously elevated by Jason Momoa's charismatic brute of a superhero.
