I am a huge DC Comics fan since I was a kid, and I have an extensive Aquaman comic book collection (the Peter David, Erik Larsen, Dan Jurgens, Rick Veitch, Geoff Johns runs are all there).

And even I tak larat to drag my ass to go watch Aquaman 2.

And this is from someone who thoroughly enjoyed The Flash and The Marvels.

It's impossible to deny this... as much as Endgame as a tremendously huge success for not only the superhero genre but also for the entire industry, it was also a jumping off point for most people.

At most, people came back to watch Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Guardians of the Galaxy vol.3 for closure and then that's it...

And it's not helped that the leftist woke agenda has infected the MCU.

Going back to Aquaman 2, the whole Amber Heard thing really hurt the movie. Coupled with the post-pandemic "let's wait for streaming" behavior, the self destruction of the DC brand with one bad movie after another, and the glut of superhero content since 2021... it's no wonder nobody cares anymore.

And if you can't get the old school fans like myself to bother to come out and watch the movie... then there's something seriously wrong with your product.

Only 2024 movie I am looking forward to is Deadpool 3... but even then I am approaching it with caution.

I don't see anything else for me personally to be excited about. Maybe Madame Web and Joker: Folie A Deux would be passable and don't wind up being dumpster fires.
