Aquaman will never be cool no matter how hard DC tries
When you've got a 77-year-old hunk of intellectual property that can breathe underwater and talk to fish, it's not a bad idea to update it so that it's relatable for a modern audience. In the case of what I'm seeing in this first trailer for the Aquaman movie, I feel like DC may have missed the mark by about 20 years. It is so grim-dark and EXTREME that you'd swear that 1990s Todd McFarlane was called in as a consultant. I love DC comics. I grew up with them. I really want their movies to do well. But I'm not sure that this is the right way to go.
