Adaptation Displacement: In-universe, Aquaman appears to have no idea Pinocchio was a book before it was a film (in his defense, a lot of people in Real Life aren't aware of the book either). ![]() Black Manta's costume has both the exaggerated proportions of his classic look and the more tactical design akin to his appearance in Young Justice.He wears his traditional orange and green costume, though his long hair and beard recall his Justice League incarnation. Arthur himself is based primarily on his "down-to-Earth hero" type interpretation as in the New 52 with a few OUTRAGEOUS! characteristics recalling his Batman: The Brave and the Bold tweaks.The story of Arthur and Orm fighting over the throne is lifted from the Throne of Atlantis storyline and its animated adaptation.Adaptation Amalgamation: Just like Wonder Woman, Aquaman draws inspiration from both the New 52 and Golden and Silver Age comics.Actually Pretty Funny: After Vulko orders his arrest and repeats Orm's previous line about putting him "somewhere with a view", Orm can't help but smile.When Arthur wakes up on the boat that Mera "borrowed", he is lying on his back, with his hair in a tight bun and beard wet, (and appearing closely trimmed), bringing shades of Khal Drogo, even sporting a wound in the same place as the "scratch" that ultimately felled Drogo.When Atlanna eats his goldfish, Thomas offers, " I was going to make you some eggs.".Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Arthur and his dad enjoying a quiet drink in a bar after he finishes with Black Manta's pirates.While not taken advantage of, it's also shown several times that even those who can breathe air may need an adjustment period when separated from water suddenly both Orm and Atlanna have to cough up the water still in their lungs before they can start breathing air. Achilles' Heel: Only high-born Atlanteans are capable of breathing air, so disrupting a rank-and-file Atlantean soldier's Mobile Fishbowl will suffocate them.Absurdly Sharp Blade: Tridents and swords made of Atlantean steel can go through ultra-dense Atlantean flesh and even Atlantean power armour like it is nothing, to say nothing of tech made by surface-dwellers.Arthur points out the absurdity of this highway following a bridge since a vessel can go in any direction while Mera explains the bridge was part of the original surface-level city and the entrance is also a diplomatic checkpoint, with security measures (giant cannons on the wall) in place to prevent anyone from trying to enter another way. Atlantis is a walled city, but not domed, with a central highway leading in and out. 2-D Space: An underwater version, but justified in dialogue.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, Final Trailer.
