number 5 DC had to work to get fans to
take him seriously fine Zacks gonna be
Superman I wanna be Green Lantern but
I’m green lanten you can be Aquaman
I don’t wanna be man he sucks many of
Aquaman’s early adventures were
light-hearted and fun that
lightheartedness really came to the fore
when Aquaman starred in Saturday morning
cartoons in the 1960s and 70s
magnificent piece of work my good man my
congratulations thank you as a result
the sea king has long been identified
with cheesy catchphrases like great
Neptune and by the beard of Poseidon Hey
he was also perceived as having a
useless power and became the butt of
jokes by many stand-up comics out of
here there’s plenty of fish in the sea
did he mean that metaphorically or in
the comic books DC has worked tirelessly
to play up his dark side and have
pointed out that he is actually
number four he has a lot in common with
for Marvel’s son of Odin and DC’s Sea
King have a surprising number of
similarities for example both are heroes
who belong to two worlds for Thor it’s a
start and earth for Aquaman it’s the
surface world and the Seas both Atlantis
and Asgard our worlds drawn from ancient
mythology they also each have a
mythological weapon Thor’s hammer
Mjolnir and Aquaman’s tried it from
Poseidon in addition both Aquaman and
Thor have been the ruler of their
respective kingdoms
they also have similar family problems
too namely Thor’s Bill and his
half-brother Loki and Aquaman’s evil
half-brother warm we could go on and on
but you get the idea
DC Zack Lemann has a line in common with
Marvel’s Thor also Namor monkey my
capital city awaits
is it not magnificent number three his
kingdom is way bigger than you think all
I want all I’ve ever wanted is a peace
and security for Atlantis Aquaman is the
king of Atlantis an underwater continent
that sank beneath the Seas eons ago but
Aquaman’s domain stretches beyond
it basically includes all the land under
the oceans and Z’s and that’s a hell of
a lot of land since approximately 70% of
the earth’s surface is covered by water
that means Aquaman is the ruler of 70%
of the planet by contrast the entire
continent of Asia occupies less than 9%
of the total surface area with those
numbers you realize that we share the
world with him and not the other way
[Music]
I believe this is mine unlike most
superheroes Aquaman is legitimate ruler
as the king of the Seas he commands a
massive army and in battle he and his
soldiers will kill if need be no
survivors still it is everyday superhero
adventures
Aquaman tends to uphold the usual code
of not taking human life however at one
point he did attempt to kill his
archenemy Black Manta only to kill black
mantas father by mistake
the sea king also hunted down man –
after the villain killed aqua baby
intent on killing him but he ultimately
controlled his wrath and let the
murderer live the truth is we were only
following orders get them out of my
sight
number one a high-profile TV pilot was
deep-sixed
[Music]
Aquaman showed up on the popular
superhero TV series Smallville and his
episode delivered season fives best
ratings fan interest oh yeah
[Music]
I knew I’d find you here
recognizing the potential for a new
smash show a pilot was ordered written
cast and shot Justin Hartley won the
title role with Lou Diamond Phillips
cast as his adoptive father
unfortunately or not the network passed
on the project and never aired the pilot
but when released on iTunes it quickly
shot to the top of the download charts
critical response was positive – but the
show still never surfaced as a series
you know that siren is just the
beginning there are creatures in the
deep you couldn’t imagine in your worst
nightmares well that’s reassuring thanks
a lot
