Here's one takeaway from this news: No one has a lower opinion of Aquaman than comic book and superhero fans. For all the talk about how he was this big joke for years, comic nerds never stopped to think they were the only ones perpetuating those jokes. One takeaway from this movie's continued success is that Aquaman was never the hard sell to the mainstream we made him out to be because, apparently, most mainstream audiences never had an opinion on Aquaman. People who aren't immersed in this stuff just wanted to see a cool movie and didn't know shyt about the character.

Honestly, you could apply that to most comic properties besides Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man. We're were the ones doubting movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man. We were the ones who thought Wonder Woman would need to be significantly changed to work in a film. We're the ones who have such an inferiority complex about comics, games, anime, etc that we think they're too out there for mainstream audiences, even when they're something that's already super popular like superheroes. Aquaman should be the movie that puts that idea to bed, but I know it won't be.

The thing that comic book fans forget is that movies have a much wider audience. Just because a certain character or group can barely keep an ongoing doesn't mean that a movie or TV show based on that character(s) can't be a success. Marvel has proven that time and time again but you still hear the same tune from some comic fans
