      Yes it was a very creative way to enrich Namor's story and to help distinguish him from Aquaman as a character. You can tell that the filmmakers put a lot of effort into making Namor stand out on his own as a character. I loved it.

    Black panther is one of the few MCU franchises that give us constantly great villains ;
    Killmonger was a banger in the first movie and Namór is even better dammit .
    I know Namór isn’t properly a villain ( more an antihero ) and Tenoch did an amazing job with the character in the movie that I was rooting for him at the end .
    He became my favorite hero and I prefer this version 100 times than the comics one and I hope they will introduce this version of Namór also in the comics .
    My only worry is when we will se him again ? Not in the next phase for sure cause it’s already stacked so I don’t know .
    I think Namór deserves his own trilogy but there is some unfinished business with Wakanda so I think that at the moment they could do a Black Panther 3 with Dr.Doom ( another great villain that could increase the villain’s standard even more ) as the Villain , so we could have Wakanda and Talocan vs Latveria and I would like also to see a love story between Namór and Shuri ( which I think they already teased us in wakanda forever ) and they could have a son ( Kamar , Namor’s son in the comics, which also sounds a good name for the Wakandian people ) , that could join the Young Avengers with his cousin , T’Challa’s son , T’Challa II .

    It's great that they gave him a different background - I'm personally a bit tired of greco/roman myths, is refreshing to see other fascinating world mythicism in these films. As for Namor - this background makes much more sense than the ones in the comics and his hate for the surface people is much more personal and grounded to emotion, than to things he could fix himself i.e., pollution of the seas lol

      Atlantis is actually not Greco Roman. It was know by the Egyptians and it's existence was told to either Plato or Socrates by an Egyptian priest. It's thought to have been in present day Mauritania in the Sahel in Africa. The rings of a city and debris from the ocean and buildings, pottery etc..still exist in the desert on the Atlantic Ocean side.

    Tenoch in a big screen is something rare , in fact in Mexico it shouldn’t happen
    This film changes the landscape , of acting and portraying dark and brown actors in big films in Mexico that alone is already a huge change
    Additionally connecting pre Hispanic cultures to this film is huge ,
