    It’s crazy to think that in a decade, we witnessed the rise and fall of the DC Extended Universe. With occasional hits like Wonder Woman and Aquaman, accompanied by LOTS of flops like Black Adam, Shazam 2, Blue Beetle, The Flash, Suicide Squad and more… this was kind of inevitable.
    Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom definitely raises some questions. Like did we just Ctrl-Z Aquaman’s growth from the last movie? Why is Arthur making Goofy noises? Where’s the Justice League when you need them?
    To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom!

    Honestly, I don’t think people are fatigued with superheroes so much as they are fatigued with terrible movies…

    • @Boeing-777-X
      @Boeing-777-X Před 4 měsíci +101

      They're fatigued indeed.
      It's pretty simple to notice this. Until 2019 any super hero movie would easily make 500 million dollars of box office or more, no matter how terrible the movie was.
      Venom 1 made 800 million and Aquaman 1 made a billion in 2018 lol.
      Very few super hero films were box office failures then.
      Now, even the good ones are not able to reach the billion. Guardians 3 or Spiderverse 2 are amazing, but they just did "alright" at BO.
      Since 2019, the only exception was No Way Home with nearly 2 billion dollars.

    • @mattphillips3537

      It’s a bit of both, The Suicide Squad wasn’t terrible but it didn’t fill me with a strong desire to see what DC had planned next. Blue Beatle didn’t look like it had anything wrong with it either, I probably would’ve checked that out if it wasn’t for superhero fatigue.

    • @bricelory9534
      @bricelory9534 Před 4 měsíci +68

      Over saturating a market is a very real thing. I think for many people, superheroes are a nice diversion now and again - but the market that wants them to be the only media they consume is much smaller than the studios seem to have expected. And because they believed demand was so high, they rushed the movies again and again, which then led to formulaic or nonsensical plots, very bland characters and dialog, and over-reliance on the overworked VFX industry. And the bad quality and over-saturation spent up a lot of the good will they had created with a lot of people, I think.
      It doesn't help that it seems like many of the heroes are being written to be pretty interchangeable these days. Early MCU was pretty simple in their personalities and motivations, but they were definitely distinct. But, for the MCU at least, it's like they want to make all their heroes either Iron Man or Captain America, or both, while also forgetting that hero role and personality are not the same thing.
      I've not watched DCEU for a long time, but felt a similar thing that none of their heroes were either solidly their own character and thus were pretty much interchangeable. And so I just didn't care about any of their stories.

      I thought he'd point out that Arthur and Orm are basically Thor and Loki in Ragnarok- one long haired, quippy God with immense powers who accepted the throne despite not wanting it and his younger brother with similar but slightly weaker powers who wants to be king despite not deserving to be. They hate each other yet need each other and end up loving each other. The older brother likes humans and thinks they ought to be protected while the younger one hates them. They both want to win the affection of their mother. If Orm was a bit more quippy, then this is 100%, a Thor movie.

    • @Blucham
      @Blucham Před 4 měsíci +26

      ⁠@@hittingyouoverthehead I like the observation, and you’re probably right. And I don’t wanna give this movie too much credit, but Thor and Loki are not the only quippy brothers who’ve ever fought for a crown. It’s kind of a huge historical trope. When the first Thor came out, Thor and Loki were compared to Scar and Mufasa, and Lion King is basically just Hamlet from Shakespeare, and you can find all kinds of similar examples in any stories about royalty. Moses and Ramses in Prince of Egypt had a similar relationship even though it ended way differently.
      The stuff about loving the humans is probably the closest, but the circumstances are so different I’d hardly compare Orm to Loki. Loki was just a power hungry tyrant who defied his own kingdom, Orm did it with good intentions for his kingdom.

    • @hittingyouoverthehead
      @hittingyouoverthehead Před 4 měsíci +10

      @@Blucham You're right, it's probably a stretch but still I thought it'd been funny how to point out how many winning Marvel things they put in this movie. There's the brother dynamic from Thor, the kingdom is basically Wakanda, the final "I am Aquaman" is from Iron man because it makes no sense to say that. Aquaman is famous in this universe after the whole steppenwolf thing. And if Aquaman is real, then so is Atlantis so it makes no sense for them to remain hidden or even debate if they should reveal themselves to humans. And it's not just the dynamic between Thor and Loki, it's also the way they jump between various worlds that reminded me of Thor.
      The villain is the hero's making from back when he thought he has the "correct" ideals which is also from Iron Man, which is again a stretch because it's a common trope too. However, unlike Iron Man, Aquaman never got the lesson from anyone that his idea of morality and punishment is wrong so the final change of heart where he tries to save David Kane is unearned.
      There are so many superhero movies now that it's basically impossible to write something that hasn't already appeared in one of the Marvel properties. I don't blame them for that but it would have been funny to point it out.

      First few are solid enough…there after it’s seriously diminished returns.

      It went out, not with a bang or a whimper. But with a... plob.

      They were without a doubt some of the movies of all time.

    Aquaman's power levels were all over the place. In previous iterations he's leaping about almost flying, going at super speed etc. He can barely take out some goons, he's fighting at normal speed apart from the last few scenes. He needs to create a bridge to jump a gap, when in Justice League he's leaping hundreds of metres. He basically had a strength level of Captain America and not Superman. He even ran at normal speed, like when he ran away from those desert people. It made no sense.

    I had such high expectations for this Pitch Meeting and I was not disappointed

    When these pitch meeting videos are infinitely better than the movies they spoof. They’ve even created their own catch phrase “super easy, barely an inconvenience”. Epic!

      Wait, what? That’s a catchphrase? :)

    glossed over most of the middle of the movie which is fitting because it kind of feels like it was meant to be a 2 part story before the universe got canceled and they merged them
