Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your man Paul aka the guy who's having a Jason
Momoa-moment as the new teaser for Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom has just dropped.
-
The full official trailer will be releasing in four days time on thursday with warner
brothers finally dropping a look at the movie 100 days out.
This is of course the last DCEU film before James Gunn takes over the reigns and begins
his new slate Gods and Monsters.
Starting with Superman legacy I think a lot hinges on both that and Deadpool 3 as general
audiences seem to no longer be as interested in Super Hero Movies as they used to be.
Can this bring the genre back to the surface or are we in too deep now.
Well I'm hopeful that we're no longer on a sinking ship and after rewatching Aquaman
the other week to get back up to speed I actually forgot how much I enjoyed that movie.
Minus the pitbull song it was a really fun film and I'm actually hopefully that this
is gonna be good too.
Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking it all down and going through it frame by
frame to talk about what happens in the teaser and what we think this could lead to.

With that out the way, huge thank you for clicking this, now let's get into Aquaman
and the lost Kingdom....also I will be saying Aquaman and not Aquaman so if youre one of
those people who doesnt understand that words are pronouned differently by different accents
then...I'm dead.
But moving on.
So speaking of the first film the teaser actually opens with a shot that actually comes from
that movie.
In it we watched Arthur and Mera travelling through the trench which is when they washed
up on the shores of the land before time.
Here they met his mother Atlanna and this shot actually pulls directly from that first
film when they first came face to face.
Because of that I actually think this movie is gonna have strong ties to Atlanna and due
to a shot later on I actually think she might end up Fish Stew.
Its possible that the creatures from the trench will be unleashed at one point as the next
shot we see appears to be the creatures from it.
We have a red flare in the top right which echoes the moment in which Arthur and Mera
swam down to the trench and a blue light as well in the top left.
Now though it looks like the creatures are now outfitted with golden armor which we can
see some of them wearing.
This idea of old technology is something that actually was talked about at cinemacon and
they discussed what the film would be about.
In it Black Manta will apparently discover an ancient black trident which will be the
movies super weapon.
Those that saw the trailer at cinemacon siad there was a scene in which we got a green
glow eminating from it that wrapped manta up.
Later on in the teaser we see a giant underwater structure crumbling so I'm guessing that this
comes from it.
Now this idea of old tech is shown after a shot of Arthur swimming away from a downed
vehicle.
We catch his half brother Orm standing infront of what looks like an old fashioned submersival
thats got a cockpit based on some of the first ever diving suit.
This grabs him in the next shot which we can tell by his blonde tied up ponytail.
Anyway according to what was shown at Cinemacon, Arthurs entire life on both the surface and
under the sea will be under the seige...of Black Manta.
As he says in the trailer he's gonna destroy everything he holds dear.
The movie will apparently centre around Arthur going to Orm for help and the pair will then
work together to stop this threat that could bring down the entire kingdom of Atlantis.
On the surface we see his fathers lighthouse in ruins and I actually think that Thomas
may end up dying in the film.
Man went from Nicole Kidman to this bird in the flash as well so I'd wanna be dead too.
Nah I dont think that timeline counts..does it...I dunno...I dunno anymore.Wait it has
to cos Arthur couldnt be born then...anyway...we see both Arthur and Atlanna rushing up the
steps making me think that Tommy might have been killed during an attack by Manta.
Potentially this was carried out by the weapon we talked about before meaning that he and
his mother have to mount up to take him down.
Now there's a distinct lack of Amber Heard in this teaser but apparently she's still
in the movie.
However we know from the Johnny Depp trial that they had to disclose elements of whats
happening in the movie to talk about her scenes.
In those it was said that Mera now had a child and that she'll not be in the film as much
because she's off caring for their son who may or may not end up becoming Aqualad.
Therefore it's gonna mainly be a family affair with Arthur, Atlanna and Orm teaming up.
We see this hammered home int he next shot when we see Atlanna.
Behind her some submarines can be seen with one of the cockpit windows being black with
a red glow in it.
Guessing this is Mantas forces again and to the left we can also catch what appaers to
be that octopus like sub that grabbed orm before.
There's also a moment where Aquaman rides on the back of a seahorse and it looks like
his brothers on the back too.
From this we See Aquaman fighting a giant sea creature which he strikes with his trident
as well as some of the ships of Atlantis being struck.
Next we cut to him holding court with his throne before going toe to toe with Manta.
In his hand we can catch the black trident which again has a green glow eminating from
it.
If We look at Manta we can also see this coming off him as well with the top of his head being
covered in it.
I'm guessing this may even allow him to breathe underwater as we can see cracks in his mask
but he's unaffected by it.
This likely stops the pressure of being this deep from gettign too him as well and it means
he can really take the fight to Arthur and his kingdom.
Now lastly we see as Arthur sends out a call from his trident and this is to probably call
in reinforcements to help him take down this new big bad.
This allows him to speak to the creatures of the sea which his trident too amplifies
his command over.
Now in the last movie, Aquaman actually called upon those from the trench for the final fight
because he now had power over them.
That makes me think that the shot at the start of the teaser might actually be him mounting
up those from the area so that they can help fight his battle.
Makes sense if they have golden atlantian armour, though the sub that followed it in
the next shot kinda made me think that they might be linked.
Either way that closes out the teaser and we of course know we're getting the full one
on Thursday.
From what we've heard about the main teaser we will have a point where Aquaman says 'no
one hits my brother but me' and then Orm responds by saying don't call me brother.'
We also apparently get Orm at one point saying to him "if you lead, Atlantis will follow."
Atlanna is also meant to duke it out with Black Manta at one point as well which cements
them going toe to to with each other.
It's even possible that she might die too and potentially Aquaman could lose both his
parents in this movie.
Now not to be a negative nancy but the movie has had really bad test screenings and there
are rumours going round that Warner Bros are basically putting nothing in to marketing
it.
We of course have the ongoing hollywood strikes right now and both Shazam 2 and The Flash
failed to make any money at the box office.
Blue Beetle is also struggling as well and I think Warner Bros have just hit a point
where they think this might bomb so theyre just not trying at all.
It's a weird time to be a comic book fan in general cos movies that used to be guaranteed
money makers are now really struggling.
I dunno what the hype is like around this at the moment and James Gunns announcement
of the reboot has left a lot of things up in the air.
I feel like a lot of people wonder whether it's even worth getting invested in this stuff
after the poor mismanagement of the last ten years which seems to be repeating with the
new guard of Zsalav.
Whether it's good or not remains to be seen but yeah I am remaining hopeful that it's
at least decent.
It would be a shame to see the DCEU go out any other way but yeah let me know your thought
below.
