A) Beating Aquaman isn't really a feat when Aquaman has barely been released and is far too late to enter to be considered for this year. B) No, the story and plot is just too simplistic and the characters don't really seem to be doing anything exceptional. C) Dont think winning prizes elsewhere means anything when it comes to the Oscars, those are a special kind of beast.

That said, you never know when it comes to the effects and costumes, but thats not the kind of prize people want it to win.

Firestorm once managed to turn a demons blood into cement in Day of Judgement and the Anti-Monitors helmet into air in Brightest Day.

I would say that, either it's plot, because it's a pretty OP ability to have to just be able to condemn people to a never-ending hell at will. But otherwise I might imagine that Darkseid simply reserves this treatment to people he deems deserving of that kind of treatment... not to mention I think that in both Batman's and Shilo Norman's cases he actually only did so as part of a grander scheme.

Like he did it with Batman because he wanted him to act like this time-travelling atomic bomb that would destroy everything through his ability overcome every challenge. With Norman I think the gist was something along the same line, the real point was not to kill or torture Norman for the heck of it, it was to push him to make a certain kind of choice Darkseid would later reap the benefits of.

True, but at the same time, I dont think it's terribly convenient you effectively have to cannibalize someone elses body up to the point where you figure out how to clone yourself... you'd have to have a pretty rotten set of morals to make that kind of choice. Plus I would add that if your intention is to stay young and fit, you'd have to do it atleast once every 20 years and ofc you get all the flaws of your new host body. All of this ofc works for Mr. Sinister, not sure his system works for everyone else. :S

True enough, just saying :)

No, but at the same time, you didn't really get a sense that anyone actually reacted to it. I mean, you live in a world where stuff like this actually does happen and you'd think SHIELD would atleast react to it... though I am not sure if SHIELD is an American only organization in the MCU?

It would, but simply showing that SHIELD was mobilizing would be enough... I mean you can cram quick shots of Tony calling Pepper during the last fight in Avengers and motivational speeches from Cap into Spiderman, could have done something like that too.

I would have to say Marvel is more circumstantial, I mean, for the most part the reason we dont have full reactions to all of this is because in the MCU everyone is either too far away or simply not there. Which is sort of the same reason we didn't see anyone react to the Kryptonian invasion in MoS... like Bats was apparently just across the bay and Wondy has a TV in her workspace, but they technically didn't exist either.

The goods and bads of Aquaman for me can be boiled down to:

Good: It's an Aquaman movie that doesn't make the lead character look like a joke. Yes he rides seahorses, and they are pretty badass looking. And yes he talks to fish, so he makes friends with 'Slattern' the last Kaiju of the first Pacific Rim movie.

The Bads: All in all I really felt like I was watching a Marvel movie, because it had all the good and bad ingredients of one but applied to a DC character. The heroes are funny, the colors are bright, the main villain is... rubbish, and there is a sense of certain parts of it all was done purely for the spectacle of it all... plus that twist near the end about Aquaman's mother was telegraphed pretty heavily.

Em... no one came to help Thor in London or appeared to be mobilizing to come help him (Dark World). Tony pretty much took on the Ten Rings single handedly in Iron Man 3. The rest fall into one of three categories: team movies (your Civil War and Avengers), deep space (GotG and Ragnarok) or 'pre-team formation' ala the first Thor movie.

That said, the notion of a hero handling world-level crisis on their own is pretty embedded in the superhero genre, since time and again it happens in comics that the fate of the world ends up resting on the shoulders of one hero or one team of heroes. So it's kinda par for the course.

2 is the ideal option because there is a way out of life should that one day become desirable.

Like the Vandal Savage version of immortality has the inbuilt flaw that even if you live forever and get as smart as your brain is capable of making you... you still risk something like a freak accident trapping you somewhere intolerable, like being buried alive, or the planet you are on becomes uninhabitable, you will live on in that case when everyone else has the good fortune to die.

What they have is mass, which is some else.And please remember the simple truth that despite the sub weighing something like a thousand tons on land, still manages to float in the middle of the water without sinking to the bottom. It's Archimedies.

And the resistance of the water is mitigated by the shape of the sub as it was designed to do.

You do know his feet is not touching anything and that he is unsupported when he is doing this? You know that kinda vital thing in order for you to actually lift something?

Wrong, numbskull, I know damn well it takes effort, thats why you need huge engines to make ships move in the stuff, or sails. However Arthur is not using any of his big muscles in order to move this thing because there is no part of his body thats actually moving while he is doing it.

Here, is Superman in your world still using his muscles when once he is not touching the ground?:

If so, I wonder why someone like Hulk hasnt attained the power of flight with his massive amount of strength?

Looks about as bad as all her other outfits to be honest. Atleast she's a redhead again.

No, because a wrestler is an actor and a boxer is an athlete, both of whom can be considered to be rolemodels.
