MTE. I’ve been curious since the S1 finale to see what exactly they would do to break up the pretty, but apparently the answer is “nothing much”.

Remember: this topic is to discuss public appearances and social media of the cast, not fanfiction or show analyses. Please take other discussions to the appropriate thread. Thanks!

I enjoyed this movie, but there were several points during which I felt so strongly that I was watching a Fast & Furious movie (the last one I saw was Furious 7, but I’ve watched it a lot) that it was distracting. I’m sure that’s just a side-effect of having the same director using flourishes that I associate with a specific other movie. But there were things — lots of the camera shots during fight sequences, or the way the Sahara landscape was covered, etc. — that just hit me with the Fast & Furious vibe. But like I said, I really like the movie. I can do this level of popcorn flick. And while the writing (particularly the dialogue) could have been better, and the most of the flashbacks could have been cut for time, and Black Manta was disappointingly superfluous, Jason Momoa’s charisma really did carry the movie. Amber Heard was really good, as was Patrick Wilson (though I don’t think I’ve really watched either of them in anything else). I liked the progression of Arthur’s character over the course of the movie; overall it was interesting to make an origin story for him that’s in continuity with Justice League without being a prequel. I didn’t necessarily have much problem with the CGI, but there definitely was a lot of it. And I kinda struggled to care about the big battle at the end, between characters we’re not supposed to like snd characters we hadn’t even seen before that point, with so much CGI. Clearly it was just to showcase Arthur as OTK, so I didn’t need it. But the hand-to-hand combat scenes were good.

Just a reminder: General discussions of actor vs. actor or segments of fandom aren’t on topic for this thread. Let’s stick to the cast’s public appearances and/or social media. Thanks!
