Editorial, Movies February 20, 2015 shawhamp

ZackSnyder drops a hydrogen bomb in the form of Jason Momoa as Aquaman, and we’re pleasantly surprised. Aquaman is typically treated as the butt of the joke of DC superheroes. No, no, you know what? I’d go as far as to say he’s the butt of the joke of all superheroes. Are there worse superheroes? Absolutely, no doubt. But unfortunately none are as famous as Aquaman. What is his magical power? He can control fish? Whatever. (Image Source) Oh…shit. This isn’t some plastic blonde hair…

Which side will you take? It’s a tough call. Chris Evans’ performance over the weekend has been hailed as Marvel’s best movie yet–and we agree–so we’re pretty much clamoring for his dance card.
