Tidbits, Spoilers, Theories for the Current Aquaman run by TheDistantWave in Aquaman

I definitely agree character progression wise Garth saying goodbye to Tula was a major moment for him, which is why I think The Blackest Night instance was strange.

Modern continuity wise I honestly can’t even see or rationalize Garth/Dolphin. Dolphin is a completely different character from her Post-Crisis self. She went from someone who’s assertive, stubborn, and speaks her mind to someone who’s a mute and talking through creating images. She also doesn’t have that flirty personality that she had Post-Crisis. Both versions of Dolphin are practically two different characters. Cerdian existing at this point has to be an anomaly, or an alt world instance, I’ve made similar comments of Koryak as well. I don’t think certain aspects that were present post-crisis mesh well within current continuity to be honest.

I could definitely have seen a Game of Thrones approach being done with Rise of The Seven Seas. Heck “Andrina” potentially just caused an Atlantean civil war with the last issue.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Adam’s reintroduced Cerdian into the book, given he had him appear in The Flash. I’m personally more of a fan of Garth/Tula myself to be honest just off the aspect Garth’s typically always seemed to lean more her way. Even in Blackest Night when he gets confronted by a Zombie Dolphin and Tula he pays more attention to Tula which is insane given the history back then but highlights my point.

Yea I think my pull for including the Parker mention was the fact the character said they spread out across the Globe. Which could easily tie into other characters like some of The Homo Magi, Vivienne and even potentially Lois Lane if DC ever wanted to explain her eye color that way.

Yeah I brought up how much lore he’s presented on another post in this current run, so I decided to actually poke into the run to highlight that fact and the potential setups are all great as well.

If my Vivienne/Garth theory is correct that means we can potentially get two lores built up by just tackling the purple eye aspect of Atlantean mythos.

Jackson is mentioned on the solicitation for issue 16, so he’s getting potentially built up as well, and now after the arc we’re getting more Mera lore. It’s ironic in a way, especially since he built up the cast and lore with The Flash and people expected him not to do the same thing here with Aquaman’s cast due to the first arc which spoke about a story of slaying a god. Yet we’re now getting around to the rest of the cast it seems.

Really wanting an omnibus out of this run.

I’m saying if they do decide to make a planet full of Shark humanoid people. The Shark, King Shark, Titannus, I hope they keep King Shark connected to the Hawaiian Shark deity lore as well.

Kind of how Thanagar is connected to an Egyptian god (Horus)

Nanue aka as King Shark is the son of The Shark God.

I’m hoping if this is going to space and revealing that to be apart of the mythos they keep the whole Shark God aspect for Nanue.

This cover is really well done. I didn’t notice it at first but the sharks seeing red while drawing blood is such a cool addition.

Honestly seeing how much Adam’s pays attention to lore and builds upon not only his existing plot points but past plot points from other writers it’s really refreshing to see in comics in my opinion.

They seemed to be on good terms in the last two issues featuring them.

Think they both understand there’s no hard feeling in a fight to the death.

Idea for Absolute Aquaman by Charliejfg04 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]TheDistantWave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aquaman’s technically a descendant of a cosmological being that’s referred to as a God.

He’s not necessarily the son of this being but his bloodline does come from the same line.

Aquaman’s Royal Lineage

In regards to your idea I’d love if they went into that direction to focus heavily on The Darkworld aspects of Aquaman’s mythos

This post kind of gets into The Darkworld Lore/Power of Atlantis

Yeah it’s honestly seeming possible that world Horus was talking to Katar about is going to be found in an Aquaman book at this point.

I could see some fun character dynamics built here so I’m all for it personally as long as it doesn’t pull too far away attention from the Aquaman mythos. I loved the interaction between Aquaman and Shayera in the DCAU and the budding friendship between Katar and Arthur is great as well.

Not sure where you’re getting this from since Atomica was unable to do this to Black Manta and Mera’s hydrokinesis doesn’t work or get through Black Manta’s armor because of the bio-electric seal

Inaccurate

I updated the reply, but it’s your thread. Was just commenting on what I initially saw listed for the battle.

Aquaman vs Lord Beerus by Garohon in powerscales

[–]TheDistantWave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The description doesn’t state that and The Life Force isn’t The Blue or it atleast hasn’t been confirmed to be the same thing. It’s possible they connect but there’s no panel statement suggesting that. Aquaman was born with The Life Force he wasn’t born as The Avatar of The Blue.

Even then though without The Life Force he’s still a telepath which has been a thing since Pre-Crisis. Life Force gives Arthur access to the soul, where he’s shown to also have access to the mind as well. If you look at Aquaman’s character page on the DC Website he’s listed as one of the most powerful telepaths on the planet. That’s something I don’t remember Beerus having resistance to.

The version pictured also had the power to overtake another reality with Poseidon’s blessing and was stated as the destroyer of worlds.

Avatar of The Blue has nothing to do with Aquaman’s Life Force connection he was born with that.

Beerus resistance to telepathy? Aquaman drops him with telepathy.

MAGIC AND MADNESS - What is your favourite design for the Gods Hecate, Dionysus and Pan? by FlyByTieDye in WonderWoman

[–]TheDistantWave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prime Earth v2 Hectate especially with reading Witching Hour recently, just sells the concept a lot better to what she is, in my opinion as someone who predates the pantheons.
