The San Diego Comic Con is underway, and Warner Bros. is in the enviable position of dominating the fan event extravaganza with their revelations of several genre entertainment projects, especially Warner's superhero. unveiled the much-anticipated first trailer of director James Wan's next super-hero super-production Aquaman and it's not just a wonderful science fiction / fantasy story, was literally everything that I said I hoped that an Aquaman image would and should be.

Before talk about what makes this trailer so fantastic I'll brag a little …

So, I'm going to brag a little bit now … As of 2011, I was arguing that Aquaman could be brought to the big screen in a perfect way if the studio threw Jason Momoa, keeps his lo ngs hair and beard but dye dirty blonde, and make him a difficult subversive version of the character with armor and tattoos not unlike a more heroic (but still rough and warlike) version of his warlord character in the series TV Game of Thrones . I have recommended a story where he is a reluctant young man who learns from his true origins, discovers Atlantis, and faces an imminent threat to both the surface world and Atlantis. I've suggested using Black Manta – one of the biggest drawings of villains in comics – as a main villain, and making a movie that looks like " Avatar under the water. "

and in op-ed articles on various fan sites, and then wrote about it in a 2012 post in Quora (which you can read here ). Over the next few years, I continued to bang the drum that it was, in my opinion, the only real way to get Aquaman to live on the big screen successfully.

the dreams turned out to be true for the film of Aquaman.

I already love or love DCEU movies, although I acknowledge that some of them are defective. I love Wonder Woman and Batman v Superman (especially the Extended Edition, which is the only one I'm looking at now), and I like it immensely Man of Steel . After many more views (and as a result of the Epic Epic Storytelling Avengers: Infinity War ), I came to feel disappointed with Justice League but I still enjoy it as a fun popcorn movie equivalent to a live cartoon. I no longer look at the Theatrical Cup of Suicide Squad because it did not hold well and the defects became too heavy and outweighed the good things; but the Extended Cut on home entertainment is far superior (while still admitting to have notable flaws).

The fact is, I've been vocal about liking Zack Snyder's interpretation and from the DCEU of all the characters, and I applauded when I heard that Momoa had been interpreted as Aquaman and that it seemed very much like what I wanted

. Critical and Financial Reception of Batman v Superman My concern was that the "correction of trajectory" would be so dramatic that it could erase the things that I felt Warner and DC were perfect up to present. However, when I heard murmurs, the film Aquaman kept most of the basic concepts and story ideas developed before Warner dramatically changed course and direction for the DCEU, while allowing to Wan to interpret and adjust as he wished, I was happy. This suggested that the film would keep what I preferred, but would probably move towards a more brilliant and more fantasy – oriented approach to Atlantis, while seeking a faster and more popular action style.

and gives life to all my hopes of years. This Aquaman is all that it should be, so the trailer is an accurate gauge of what to expect when the film hits the theaters in December.

After the box office results for Justice League amid much uncertainty as to how the studio would handle the DCEU and DC properties in general, and with so many rumors and Negative information about the fate of various projects and people involved in the big-screen world of DC Comics made it hard to feel excited and confident about what the future might have in store for these characters . It was easy for DC fans to feel unmotivated and discouraged. Whether you like DC movies or not is not the problem, it all boils down to whether movies can be successful enough to spawn a continuous series of movies with consistent leadership decisions.

But the last few weeks have been more and more promising, from the revelations of Wonder Woman 1984 images of Patty Jenkins to the confirmation of the project Joker in a few months with Joaquin Phoenix on board to represent the Prince Clown of Crime, to Matt Reeves' progress script The Batman (expected to go into production early next year). This week has further increased the heat, with a good trailer for the next series of streaming Titans (heavily influenced by the 1980s comics "The New Teen Titans" by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, So darker "1965", "Worlds of DC" is the way that Warner and DC Films officially refer to these projects in presentations to the SDCC, which strongly implicates what we've heard for months – a focus on individual character films and their own worlds, rather than all that is conceived in a common narrative.This does not mean that future films completely avoid the DCEU, since for example the trailer of Shazam! published this weekend has strong visual clues that attach to the previous DC films.But instead, each of the current projects will be autonomous in the direction of production and will not be obliged to serve as great s overlapping stories. The movies can therefore do their own thing, and any link or crossover or team-up will be built on their own terms if / when the time is right.

During the SDCC, fans were treated to exclusive videos of Wonder Woman 1984 the first of which depicts Wonder Woman meeting a girl in a mall while she fought armed badailants , and the second video showing Wonder Woman crossing traffic on a city street. Warner also revealed the trailer Shazam! giving us a lot of background for the origin of the character and a solid impression of the more familial and humorous approach of this film. It looked a lot like Big located in the world of superheroes, which explains how the project was always considered and it seems that they definitely reach the target.

There was a lot of other news and panels for DC at Comic Con this year, but the only one is the" Drew ". other major was of course Aquaman and the first trailer of the image.

It is full of bright colors and remarkable images, costumes and effects cool, scary monsters and great fantastic shows, lots of thrilling action and many allusions to the background and relationships of the characters. There was humor, fun, and fun. 39, wit, and super cool sensibilities, all woven with a beautiful balance similar to Wan's Fast & Furious films and his best work Conjuring .It seems extremely faithful to comics, giving fans a clear vision of certain storyboard influences and sports design work who does not try to roll back the super costumes and technology that fans love in comics. However, it is also fraught with slanted imagery to ensure that viewers who do not really know comics can perceive this as a bold new sci-fantasy franchise apart from DC movies that are not in the mainstream. they have not seen or perhaps been seen but hated

The last point is especially important that the parties agree or agree. Remember that the pre-release of Justice League included trailers and images that seemed designed to attract a larger audience. wide and place the film as something very different from what was before. Remember how it was focused on fast action, brighter imagery and colors, rock sensibilities, and a more family-friendly approach? Despite all this, the film still suffered a lot from DCEU baggage and months of mixed or negative media reports, as well as the inability to distance itself completely from the previous DCEU since it clearly portrayed the same characters.

Warner hoped that The success of Wonder Woman and his success at the box office would probably help the chances of the Justice League a little, but alas that does not matter. is not produced. Obviously, the film had several flaws that have hurt it with critics and the public (which gave it a B + rating to Cinemascore), but it can not be denied that the years of mixed reception of the DCEU and negative reports during and after production were important factors.

The point is, Aquaman also has an upbeat marketing and trailers designed to impress traditional viewers, and he distanced himself from previous DC films, so some fans and the press might be inclined to make comparisons to ] The efforts of the Justice League and determine that it will take a lot more work from Warner's PR team to change the narrative around their properties DC and s & # 39; Ensure that Aquaman avoids another underperformance. The release date of Christmas puts it in competition with several great holiday outings, while offering a family vacation period and weeks of great potential if it can beat the other films meeting the same demographics of the public.

I think the concerns are valid, but I'm confident that Warner and DC are at the dawn of a new wave a positive energy and a buzz that will help overcome the problems of the past and will offer many opportunities for success. If Aquaman is a great film that looks like the quality of Wonder Woman and if marketing is aggressive and powerful by claiming it as a science fiction / fantasy film fun for all ages, so I think it can avoid the same fate as Justice League and serve as another box-office success, followed by Shazam! Wonder Woman 1984 and Joker in 2019. If other projects – notably, birds of prey the flash and the batman – Enjoy positive news and buzz without a bunch of changes in directors and plans, and then next year-more should be a waking period for DC Warner properties on the big screen.

I'm going to have a lot more coverage of DC movies, streaming plans and even comics in the coming days and weeks, dear readers, so stay tuned for all this and more.
