    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Aquaman Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy Matthew PetersonApril 5, 20175 Comments1 Min Read

    As a nerd of opinions, I’m pretty used to being in the minority on what is and is not cool.  F’rinstance, I’ve always felt that Aquaman’s scalemail shirt and green swimming tights combination is actually pretty cool, in the hands of the right artist.  A Jim Aparo or Nick Cardy can make that uniform look cooler than any bat-cape or super-armor, and while I appreciate the casting of the movie Aquaman, I’m sort of disappointed that they’ve gone so far from the source material.  I understand that orange and green would be dicey for a live-action film (and also that DC/Warner is allergic to color), which leads to today’s underwater query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) actually enjoys most of the Jim Lee New 52 revision, except for that damned collar that he puts on everyone, asking: Do you prefer the classic orange-and-green Aquaman look or the gold-and-black Jason Momoa movie version?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      I prefer anything but more black in super hero costumes.

      Superfriends version #1.
      Blue version #2.
      Mamoa doesn’t even make my list. Trendy yuck. Might as well replace the trident with a $7 artisinal donut.

      I prefer literally every other version, including the hideously 90s hook-handed version, more than Momoa’s. And I didn’t think I could loathe anything more than the hook-hand version.

      I love Momoa’s suit!!! the orange and green kinda looks dated, Momoa’s suit makes him actually look like an Atlantian King

      I’m in the minority, but I like the blue costume from the 80’s. I’m sure it was a pain to draw and ink.
