The scene in the trench kingdom is one of the greatest scenes I have watched from a DCEU film. You guys have to see it!! I haven’t felt that much suspense during a scene.
This movie gets a 9/10 for me. It just felt so amazing to watch and made me feel like a little 12 year old while watching. The exact feeling I got when I watched Thor Ragnarok.
I would say this is in my opinion the best film I've ever watched .. I never thought a film could beat Wonder woman .. but I've never smiled so much during a film, the chemistry between Mera and Arthur, amazing in my eyes and I can't wait for the sequel
Yes sir really good movie. Cant argue. I wish This director does batman because of his horror filming making resume. I believe that erie feeling would transition great to Batmans dark concept.
What's so cool to me is that I noticed they actually used the ancient description and blueprint of the real "Alantis" to create the Kingdom above water before it sank. DOPE!
I was actually rooting for the crustaceans against the other kingdoms and I was overjoyed that finally aqua man came not just to rescue but to unite the seas. Hmmm.....the 7 kingdoms? Game of thrones, coincidence?
Actually I think the Brine had the most powerful military, because Orm needed the combined forces of the other 3 kingdoms to challenge them. And they seemed pretty evenly matched (to me) during the fight scene
Seems like they might have been physically stronger than the other atlanteans considering the way they were overpowering the rest and even while they were on there sharks and other animals.
They made a subpar movie. Cgi was all over the shop, once again female character was subpar .... Yes its the second best movie from dceu, after ww, but they still have a big way to go
Thx for not making snyder the director and making him co his ideas are good but over the dam top but james wan and zack was amazing glad they finally knew never ever give full power to zach
I would rather have a series of movies that revolve around Aquaman and Atlantis than more barely passable JL movies or bleak super hero movies set in the city.
smily monkey I think Aquman should have seven movies like Harry Potter because there's so many things in his lore that cannot be explored in a trilogy.
I say if the pacing in the beginning was much slower and tone down the amount of cgi where it was not needed, then I give it a solid 10/10, but now it hover 7-9 for me
Not bad and actually good if compare to the other DCEU/ World of DC even wonder woman but for me calling it masterpiece is a bit lacking. Though I would not say the MCU is a masterpiece, they just create more good movie and timeline than the Dceu/ World of DC.
It also has the same plot to the Thor movie. They both have a fascinating worlds and the visuals. The main characters are arrogant. They are both badass on their own right. They both went in a journey to retrieve a powerful weapon. They learn what it means to be a king while at the same time being a heros. They fought a secondary villain that fires a laser. They are heir to the throne. The main antagonist is his brother. They suffer some sit backs but it did not stop them. They both relied on their physical strength. For me a masterpiece, must be memorable and could not be compare to other movies.
You said it. I gave it a 9-5 but then I thought why not 10 were are the flaws? Nowhere. Its a solid film, fun, cgi on point, and most important, it makes you feel like your having a good time.
If Atlantis wanted to destroy the Brine, they could. That wasn't the goal though. They needed to use the Brine Army against the surface dwellers as cannon fodder.

@@manyxtavinas the desert kingdom has fallen for years. When Orm got 4 kingdom, he will attack the surface and make the world like it was. The world of ocean
@Neisya Jin Hitam ok enlighten me dude. Can you tell me where the 7 kingdoms are located? and are there other kingdoms other than the 7 kingdoms they mentioned. ty
@Neisya Jin Hitam I think we can safely assume that the Hidden Kingdom is located around the center of the earth, deep below the Marina trench, based on what we saw in the movie. Right?
Fun fact: During his run on Aquaman, Geoff Johns was going to do an Aquaman story-arc called "Rise of the Seven Seas"...but it never happened until the movie gave us that story-arc.
Who is the missing kingdom??? The missing kingdom is in plain sight, obvious yet hidden, right before our eyes! It's mankind: the land dwellers, thus Aquaman has to unite, the inhabitants of the land and sea, together, then all 7 kingdoms will be as one earthly, kingdom. Peace!
Just saw Aquaman for the first time (ik im late) But it gets a 9/10 , really good movie and characters, the emotions and meanings , you could understand them and feel them as well
@@drewilliams6094 This is my theory based on fairly recent comics. Basically, Thule is a pocket dimension created by ancient Atlantean sorcerers. I predict, based on how the Aquaman movie used comic book material, that they could use Thule as the seventh kingdom. The Thule kingdom invaded the Earth's dimension and Aquaman had to save Thule refugees because they were also Atlanteans. For more info, read Aquaman Vol. 7, 2015.
I think the 7th Kingdom is the one of Lego, it is based in the North Pole and its inhabitants have mutated to be Walrus like to survive the extreme coldness. They are warlike as shown on the 146# Aquaman where we first discover them fighting Xebels while they try to heal Black Manta for him to become the True Atlantis King.
i'd like this movie's storyline at the climax part. But the most satisfying thing was the way they fight underwater with "bulbing" sound effect during the scenes. I rate it 9/10
One thing that interested me in the film is that Mera is the only one from Xebel so far who can use her water bending powers because I’m pretty sure in the comics they have mages in Xebel but we didn’t see one in the movie besides Mera maybe there setting up For Mera in the future to have her own water sorcery school or class or maybe they just didn’t want anyone else to have Meras power to make her seem more special so it doesn’t take away from her. I was just curious I still loved the Movie it was great especially in IMAX it’s very rewatchable
Is it just me or when I was watching this movie, I wanted to see a next gen Aquaman video game created. Imagine the open world traveling underwater to the seven kingdoms. Imagine exploring Atlantis’ buildings. Imagine the unique combat of Aquaman and how he’d use his trident and summon fish to help him. I truly think a wonderful video game could be made from this because there’s so much lore and wonder with Aquaman’s mythology. I just want to travel to the beautiful Atlantis I saw in the movie. And of course bask in the beauty of Princess Mera 😍
Idk why shit about fallen kingdoms and their remnants intrigues me. The fact that an entire race just became savage and became the trench monsters is scary but cool. Reminds me of the Falmer from Skyrim
the center of the earth with dinosaurs in it, refers the justice league unlimited episode where these people use kryptonite as their power source and train their dinosaurs (Justice League Unlimited : chaos at earth's core)
@@Moon-zl2wp yeah sure bro, there is one dimension I read more about it is Ramayana's Ravana Lanka or Swarna Lanka (City made of Gold) is under the sea and it is 100 Yojana (1300kms) awamy from Rameswaram and it is also invisible to Human eye unless you go inside. Sri Lanka is Called as Simhala Dweep (Lions Island) many hindhu texts mentioned about this country and it's Kings. (But not as Swarna Lanka), everyone has mistaken Sri Lanka as Ravana Lanka. You all must have recent seen the movie called 'Black Panther' in this movie they have shown the how 'Wakanda' country is invisible to the other people on Earth, And also you must have seen the movie called 'Wonder Woman' this movie also shows that secret invisible country nowhere in the sea. There is a so much false rumours that made to believe that Sri Lanka. Example:- they have shown footsteps of Giants on the rocks and saying that are Hanuman's. We'll if you see Ramayana everyone are Giants including humans because its Tretha Yuga. Another thing you didn't know is Ravana brother "Vibhishana" Is one of The Immortal being in 7 Immortals is still ruling now in Swarna Lanka Kingdom from many Million years and also waiting for the Kalki Avatar of Vishnu to join the war to fight against Kali (The owner of the Kali Era)(Kali the Grand son of Chatur mukha *Brahma* "The Creator"). Swarna Lanka is under the sea, so that's why Lord Rama asked Samudhra Dheva (Sea God) to decrease the sea level. If Sri Lanka is Real Lanka, even the simple Vaanara Valli's Army can jump between Rameswaram and Sri Lanka(Simhala Dweep), we don't even need Hanuman, that easy for them because their a Giants and they are near to Rakshasa community. If interested to see The Real Swarna Lanka calculate the Longitude and Latitude as per 100Yojana (1300kms), Go with best sea Diver in the country, carry mile long ropes and Camera to capture the Amazing Gold city. In Swarna Lanka you can found many types of Vimanas or Saucers as we named and know as UFO's, The UFO Aliens are non other then Rakshashas who are under the rule of Ravanas brother Vibhishana. Vibhishana is a good Rakshasa that's why he stand with Rama against is his own brother. Pushpaka Vimana is the saucer that can fill n number of passengers and it can travel in light speed in space, it was owned by Kubera "God of wealth" Half brother of Ravana And then Ravana took it. The 1300kms Bridge between India and Lanka was destroyed by Rama himself when he came to say goodbye to his friend Vibhishana.
@@earth686 oh I'm also indian but this is all new information to me ahahaa. I never knew there was a lanka under water. Was it under water from the start? If it were, how could sita, being human stay underwater for so long. And also Rama and everyone who fought the war. But again these texts are from very long ago. As a believer of the epics, anything could be true. But this was very interesting to know. Thank you for sharing!
@@Moon-zl2wp The Ramayana was happened in 24th Maha Yuga and it was wrote in the same yuga from Valmiki, we are living in 28th maha yuga or chathur yuga, now there are more than 350 different Ramayana stories in the whole world, wrote from different devotees and poets but the originals are Valmiki Ramayana and Hanumadh Ramayana, Hanumadh Ramayana wrote this whole story on rocks with his small finger nails, and his rock scriptures are Under water, cause he himself throwed his written scriture in to ocean 🌊 for the sake of Valmiki Ramayana.
I guess the island where atlanna inhabited for a long time is dinosaur island (which is also known as the centre). I guess it's a living island where a lot of dinosaurs live.
Yes,there are other creatures in DC who are based on marine life such as Tritonis and Lemuria which I just found out from another comment in this video.😅
It's funny how they evolved into fish instead of dying or swimming to the surface. If they have technology this advanced why didn't they come back to the surface. This is a huge nitpick not a big deal.
I guess some of the questions were answered in the second movie... the last kingdom being Necrus and more about the Desert Kingdom. Very well done. Thank you🐳🐋🐬🐟
I thought the 7 kingdoms was a nice touch. I always wondered why Aquaman didn't seem to know Lori Lemaris in the old comics. The different kingdoms would've explained that.
And the fact that they utilized a highly toxic/green house substance that nearly destroyed the world. As well as the evil king being Atlan’s brother, which later turned himself and his people into monsters with dark magic.
My favourite is the crab people, they have a great leader I know that the prine go down easily but they are the most determined to not let a other king command them
The missing kingdom could be skartaris which in the comics is a fantaisy land thay is located at center of the earth and the entrance to this land is at the north pole Skataris appeared in the justice league unlimited serie when gren lantern,stargirl supergirl and s.t.r.i.p.e. were stranded there
Dude Im not replying to your commet BUT to your name,Bashenga is the First Black panther not Black Manta and yeah They nearly the same XD PS Love your name
No mermaids? In the comics, the Mer Folk have their own kingdom. In fact, one of Superman's ex-girlfriends was Lori Lemaris, a mermaid, who came from the kingdom of Tritonis (Aquaman ruled Poseidonis).
PeaceIsAJoke they arent blind, their eyes were susposed to see a very small light as a huge light, thats why when trench cant see big light such as sun/flare cuz for them it looks like a freaking giant sun is on front of it
That's because their kingdom is in Marianas Trench, one of the darkest depth of the ocean. Their bodies adapted there to survive so they're sensitive to light. In fact, fishes in Marianas Trench generate light from their bodies because it's a dark place. In the comics, some of the Trench have the same capabilities.

If the missing kingdom is Atlanta, Georgia, then there would be no remnants of the kingdom since Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground in 1864 during his campaign of burning his way to the ocean. Maybe that’s how the north won the war, with the technology from the missing kingdom.🤩🧐
I know that Aquaman cant go to 100% at rotten tomatoes but I believed it should be 75 or 80 percent. The only thing I dont like in aquaman is most action rely too much in spinning camera and the beginning where Mera meet Aquaman. If I will be asked, I will put the scene where they are going in ride then tsunami, then mera will enter and save them then ask for help. but still, I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH. I hate the critics lining in their current review in rotten tomatoes
Well Mera saving Aquaman’s dad changed Jason Mamoa’s heart and thought because he owed her he would come with her. Jason Mamoa saying no at first shows his character, and his flaws.
@Da Noob Sandstorm also, because BP applied african culture very accurate and performance very well, despite adding modern and science fiction culture. But the finale, kinda bland and lack of black panther-ish. like they more applied captain america punching acrobat than BP acrobat, claw punching/slashing, etc. BP perform better in Civil War than in finale of BP movie(but the night battle/climax/center part of movie is good) For future commenters, I am marvel fan, both animated and mcu.
@Da Noob Sandstorm I also hate those people saying, Aquaman copy black panther plot, fighting for throne story...I mean, this kind of plot IS very used today, from books, to movies etc. Why do people just critize Aquaman saying they copying the plot of fighting-for-throne while black panther isn't?
It make me curious. Who hold sway over The Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Southern and Northern Ocean then? Since I'm pretty sure this first Aquaman movie only covering the entirety of The Atlantic Ocean.
The Atlantic is the only safe ocean for build the kingdom. Maybe the ocean you mentioned above has been claimed by the fisherman kingdom, trench kingdom and etc
The trench is located in the pacific ocean and in the comics, The xebel people were located in the Bermuda triangle in the comics but in this movie, they are located in the northern sea.
@@kevintyson2937 Well, that really messing things up, don't you think? Geographically it doesn't add up. Because Aquaman see the location through a bottle when they were in Sicily Island, the Pacific Ocean is way too far, not to mention a big America continent sitting between them and the Pacific Ocean. It will take weeks if not months for them to sail to Pacific Ocean with that flimsy fishing boat. When you draw a straight line from Sicily Island across the Atlantic Ocean, the only reasonable place is Puerto Rico Trench. Which is make sense, since the underwater anomaly is more akin to Bermuda Triangle legend, and those places only sitting a neighborhood away from each other.
I hope he is more of an anti-hero...and retains some loyalty to Arthur. So he shouldn't team up with Black Manta...he should actually help protect Arthur from him. But meanwhile he will still try to raise a rogue army to conquer the surface world so he has something to rule over.
@@brokenwave6125 Yes I don't see him playing second fiddle for long He's very ambitious & knows what power & being number one is. So no while he feigns loyalty to Arthur he'll undoubtedly be pursuing his own agenda.
@@herewegoagain5174 Black manta is confirmed to work with that guy from news who was obsessed with atlantis. Hes going to find black manta floating on a piece of wood and ask him where he got that technology. Black manta then makes a deal with him saying that he will show him if he helps him kill aquaman.
I think the lost kingdom might be located near one of the poles of the Earth and the reason it's lost is because it got frozen in the ice caps that exist today. Just a theory.
If Atlanta, GA is the 7th kingdom then you better watch your wallet and avoid rush hour. When I stopped in Atlanta on Greyhound. 5 minutes outside a guy got his wallet stolen. The Cops didn't even care. He was like... What can I do? The guy is gone. Lol, poor tourist...

“I’ll bring wrath of the seven sea” king om
I don't know man but that line just sounded so wrong. The deserted kingdom is not a sea or not in the sea anymore.
@@manyxtavinas the desert kingdom has fallen for years. When Orm got 4 kingdom, he will attack the surface and make the world like it was. The world of ocean
@Neisya Jin Hitam so the 7 kingdom is not (on) the 7 seas?
@Neisya Jin Hitam ok enlighten me dude. Can you tell me where the 7 kingdoms are located? and are there other kingdoms other than the 7 kingdoms they mentioned. ty
@Neisya Jin Hitam I think we can safely assume that the Hidden Kingdom is located around the center of the earth, deep below the Marina trench, based on what we saw in the movie. Right?
Fun fact: During his run on Aquaman, Geoff Johns was going to do an Aquaman story-arc called "Rise of the Seven Seas"...but it never happened until the movie gave us that story-arc.
Loved the movie, especially black manta.
When we saw his costume,my whole theater was laughing
Kevin Hart did good to the character
@@darkchoco7407 What?No,your joking right?
@@Marco-sy5ke Hmm, Black Manta looks like that in comics too. What was funny? I do not understand?!
@@greengreeneya2102 it looked stupid and funny
While I was watching the brine kingdom fighting with the Atlantian army I was thinking "Do you feel it now Mr crabs"
That made me wheeze, and it was in the middle of a family gathering.
Lmao
Anyone notice how they have a lot of surprises of when something is going great then suddenly blows up and something attacks them..?
I know right!! Thought I was the only one that noticed this. They did that like 3 or 4 times in the movie but it didn't bother me
YESSSS!!!! finally, thought i was the only one hahaha happened 4 times
Yeah the funniest part for me was when black manta attacked them in greece (?) Right in their faces! XD
yeah, so overused its like the director dosent know how to connect the story
Every timecthe badguys entered they did so with a surprise explosion yeah
Like it had kind of lost effect aftervthe 4th time.
I love how The Brine were ready to die before they serve Orm. Even the King told Orm he would never align himself with him
If Atlanta actually turns out to be the missing kingdom I'll just die right there. It would be too hilarious
Who is the missing kingdom??? The missing kingdom is in plain sight, obvious yet hidden, right before our eyes! It's mankind: the land dwellers, thus Aquaman has to unite, the inhabitants of the land and sea, together, then all 7 kingdoms will be as one earthly, kingdom. Peace!
eric echols I Say we nominate Terry Crews or Keanu Reeves to be our King
eric echols
Holy shit you might actually be right!
Nice theory... and ur probably on to something....
eric echols hmmmm but they were seperate when that guy invaded in justice league.
You're wrong, its the bikini bottom
The Trench aren’t blind. They have highly sensitive eyes.
I want more crab kingdom
Interesting thing, the seven kingdoms each correspond to a famous sea nearby. Mediterranean, Red, Caribbean, Yellow, Arabian, and Phillipines.
Just saw Aquaman for the first time (ik im late) But it gets a 9/10 , really good movie and characters, the emotions and meanings , you could understand them and feel them as well
The seventh kingdom is... Thule! They will use it for the sequel. They are not found anywhere in the seven seas because they are in another dimension.
Milito 87 tell us more...
Milito 87 Thule Society??
@@drewilliams6094 This is my theory based on fairly recent comics. Basically, Thule is a pocket dimension created by ancient Atlantean sorcerers. I predict, based on how the Aquaman movie used comic book material, that they could use Thule as the seventh kingdom.
The Thule kingdom invaded the Earth's dimension and Aquaman had to save Thule refugees because they were also Atlanteans.
For more info, read Aquaman Vol. 7, 2015.
I think the 7th Kingdom is the one of Lego, it is based in the North Pole and its inhabitants have mutated to be Walrus like to survive the extreme coldness. They are warlike as shown on the 146# Aquaman where we first discover them fighting Xebels while they try to heal Black Manta for him to become the True Atlantis King.
So is Xebel, but they fucked that up
The Trench are basically Falmer from Skyrim
Half falmer, half mirelurk
This is why I liked Aquaman not the CGI. The details are all in there. Lots of reviewer review the Aquaman film so shallow.
Excuse what
*Brine king aka Mr Krabs will never give up his allegiance or the crabby patty formula*
I agree it's cool how Aquaman respects and loves his parents.
Atlantis-Warriors
Xebel-Wizards
Fishermen-Scientists
Brine-Hunters
Deserters-blacksmiths
Trench-Executioners and Guardians
Missing Kingdom- Dinosaurs
i'd like this movie's storyline at the climax part. But the most satisfying thing was the way they fight underwater with "bulbing" sound effect during the scenes. I rate it 9/10
One thing that interested me in the film is that Mera is the only one from Xebel so far who can use her water bending powers because I’m pretty sure in the comics they have mages in Xebel but we didn’t see one in the movie besides Mera maybe there setting up For Mera in the future to have her own water sorcery school or class or maybe they just didn’t want anyone else to have Meras power to make her seem more special so it doesn’t take away from her. I was just curious I still loved the Movie it was great especially in IMAX it’s very rewatchable
I believe king nereus used his trident to shoot out water beams when they took over the fisherman kingdom.
Her twin sister Siren wasn't in here as well
I thought the brine were super interesting, I hope they survived the battle in the movie :(((
I think they did
@@KeyIssues the visuals actually impressed me, the battle scene was crazy
@@weenercarguy4100 ikr
@alejandrop agreed
Is it just me or when I was watching this movie, I wanted to see a next gen Aquaman video game created.
Imagine the open world traveling underwater to the seven kingdoms. Imagine exploring Atlantis’ buildings. Imagine the unique combat of Aquaman and how he’d use his trident and summon fish to help him.
I truly think a wonderful video game could be made from this because there’s so much lore and wonder with Aquaman’s mythology.
I just want to travel to the beautiful Atlantis I saw in the movie. And of course bask in the beauty of Princess Mera 😍
I think The Fisherman Kingdom is the most suitable to visualize how Atlanteans look like. A part fishy :))
They should’ve showed mr crabs and Larry the lobster leading that crab army into battle
It would be so funny if The last Kingdom was in Atlanta Georgia
Aquaman's mother was a monster hunter
Idk why shit about fallen kingdoms and their remnants intrigues me. The fact that an entire race just became savage and became the trench monsters is scary but cool. Reminds me of the Falmer from Skyrim
The crab kingdoms is most powerful, atlantis,xebel and fisherman join together to bringing down crab kingdoms.
Saw the movie yesterday and going again tomorrow 😂
The Crab people looked awesome, the Trench literally made me shit myself, and I liked the fish like people because they look like mermaids.
"The Missing Kingdome could be in Atlanta, Georgia for all we know. " 'awkward laugh' Not what I had in mind, but you're not wrong.
the center of the earth with dinosaurs in it, refers the justice league unlimited episode where these people use kryptonite as their power source and train their dinosaurs
(Justice League Unlimited : chaos at earth's core)
It may also be referring to Jules Vernes Journey to the center of the earth
In Indian ancient texts has written about this 7 Kingdoms under the water, and also 7 worlds under the earth.
ooh can you tell more about it?
@@Moon-zl2wp yeah sure bro, there is one dimension I read more about it is Ramayana's Ravana Lanka or Swarna Lanka (City made of Gold) is under the sea and it is 100 Yojana (1300kms) awamy from Rameswaram and it is also invisible to Human eye unless you go inside.
Sri Lanka is Called as Simhala Dweep (Lions Island) many hindhu texts mentioned about this country and it's Kings. (But not as Swarna Lanka), everyone has mistaken Sri Lanka as Ravana Lanka.
You all must have recent seen the movie called 'Black Panther' in this movie they have shown the how 'Wakanda' country is invisible to the other people on Earth,
And also you must have seen the movie called 'Wonder Woman' this movie also shows that secret invisible country nowhere in the sea.
There is a so much false rumours that made to believe that Sri Lanka.
Example:- they have shown footsteps of Giants on the rocks and saying that are Hanuman's. We'll if you see Ramayana everyone are Giants including humans because its Tretha Yuga.
Another thing you didn't know is
Ravana brother "Vibhishana" Is one of The Immortal being in 7 Immortals is still ruling now in Swarna Lanka Kingdom from many Million years and also waiting for the Kalki Avatar of Vishnu to join the war to fight against Kali (The owner of the Kali Era)(Kali the Grand son of Chatur mukha *Brahma* "The Creator").
Swarna Lanka is under the sea, so that's why Lord Rama asked Samudhra Dheva (Sea God) to decrease the sea level.
If Sri Lanka is Real Lanka, even the simple Vaanara Valli's Army can jump between Rameswaram and Sri Lanka(Simhala Dweep), we don't even need Hanuman, that easy for them because their a Giants and they are near to Rakshasa community.
If interested to see The Real Swarna Lanka calculate the Longitude and Latitude as per 100Yojana (1300kms), Go with best sea Diver in the country, carry mile long ropes and Camera to capture the Amazing Gold city.
In Swarna Lanka you can found many types of Vimanas or Saucers as we named and know as UFO's, The UFO Aliens are non other then Rakshashas who are under the rule of Ravanas brother Vibhishana.
Vibhishana is a good Rakshasa that's why he stand with Rama against is his own brother.
Pushpaka Vimana is the saucer that can fill n number of passengers and it can travel in light speed in space, it was owned by Kubera "God of wealth" Half brother of Ravana And then Ravana took it.
The 1300kms Bridge between India and Lanka was destroyed by Rama himself when he came to say goodbye to his friend Vibhishana.
@@earth686 oh I'm also indian but this is all new information to me ahahaa. I never knew there was a lanka under water. Was it under water from the start? If it were, how could sita, being human stay underwater for so long. And also Rama and everyone who fought the war. But again these texts are from very long ago. As a believer of the epics, anything could be true. But this was very interesting to know. Thank you for sharing!
@@Moon-zl2wp bro, under water means, the dimension has a layer or shield 🛡 how wakanda has, the water can't go through that,
@@Moon-zl2wp The Ramayana was happened in 24th Maha Yuga and it was wrote in the same yuga from Valmiki, we are living in 28th maha yuga or chathur yuga, now there are more than 350 different Ramayana stories in the whole world, wrote from different devotees and poets but the originals are Valmiki Ramayana and Hanumadh Ramayana, Hanumadh Ramayana wrote this whole story on rocks with his small finger nails, and his rock scriptures are Under water, cause he himself throwed his written scriture in to ocean 🌊 for the sake of Valmiki Ramayana.
They missed out on not calling The Brine “crustacean nation”
I guess the island where atlanna inhabited for a long time is dinosaur island (which is also known as the centre). I guess it's a living island where a lot of dinosaurs live.
Rohan Roshan so that is one of the unsurvived kingdom :v
@@nashifacip6206 would be probably they are still alive. Especially Massosaurus
SzM_ •• you mean Mossasurus :b
@@nashifacip6206 thats right.. Rip my english
Mosasaurus.
They need to make LEGO sets out of each and every one of these kingdoms
Where’s Mermaid man and Barnacle boy???
XD
Is "The seven kingdoms of Atlantis" the same as "The seven sea"? Are there any other world/kingdoms in the sea besides those atlantis kingdoms
They're the same
It was, because the Atlantis is the center
Someone in the comments mentions there is a mermen kingdom beside the Seven.
Yes,there are other creatures in DC who are based on marine life such as Tritonis and Lemuria which I just found out from another comment in this video.😅
missing kingdom are probably the surface dwellers aka humans, but orm was so hungry for power he never knew.
Maybe the Missing Kingdom is, "The Ancient Karathen" or maybe, "The Guardian of Atlantis' Greatest Treasure".
Aquaman is a great movie.
I can assure you it ain't Atlanta, GA 😂😂😂
I actually loved that Wan brought back the missing Kingdoms. It makes the under water realm feel like a real else world.
That scene on the roof when Aquaman and Mera were running and how they did all on one shot that was 🔥🔥
Xebel: Underwater Redheads
7 kingdoms. 7 seas.
I subscribed after watching this video. Very clear cut information and made sense
When you try to wipe off your phone but it slides to the next video and the ad plays again. *You’re welcome, content creator*
Aquaman:7 kingdom of atlantis
Shazam:7 realm of magic
What next
It's funny how they evolved into fish instead of dying or swimming to the surface. If they have technology this advanced why didn't they come back to the surface. This is a huge nitpick not a big deal.
Well after Aquaman 2, I guess we now know what and where the 7th kingdom is!
I guess some of the questions were answered in the second movie... the last kingdom being Necrus and more about the Desert Kingdom. Very well done. Thank you🐳🐋🐬🐟
I thought the 7 kingdoms was a nice touch. I always wondered why Aquaman didn't seem to know Lori Lemaris in the old comics. The different kingdoms would've explained that.
Why is this being recommended two years too late
Honestly, an RTS focusing on the surviving Kingdoms of Atlantis would be amazing.
1:43 a thing of beauty
Imo, the kingdom in the center of the earth is Skartaris from the Warlord. Or something like that.
Just came back from watching the new film and turns out the missing kingdom are evil
And the fact that they utilized a highly toxic/green house substance that nearly destroyed the world. As well as the evil king being Atlan’s brother, which later turned himself and his people into monsters with dark magic.
My favourite is the crab people, they have a great leader
I know that the prine go down easily but they are the most determined to not let a other king command them
Anyone else think King Atlan looks and sounds like a Dark Souls boss?
The missing kingdom could be skartaris which in the comics is a fantaisy land thay is located at center of the earth and the entrance to this land is at the north pole
Skataris appeared in the justice league unlimited serie when gren lantern,stargirl supergirl and s.t.r.i.p.e. were stranded there
Thing is Skartaris is not a water based kingdom with most places being above land
@@SantomPh but they might retcon that in the movies
Agreed
Dude Im not replying to your commet BUT to your name,Bashenga is the First Black panther not Black Manta and yeah They nearly the same XD
PS Love your name
it is skartaris[at first I thought it was dinosaur island], just like in the comics.
Love the lore of Atlantis
Brine Kingdom and the king itself is so badass
No mermaids? In the comics, the Mer Folk have their own kingdom. In fact, one of Superman's ex-girlfriends was Lori Lemaris, a mermaid, who came from the kingdom of Tritonis (Aquaman ruled Poseidonis).
The people of the Fisherman Kingdom are basically mermaids
@@KeyIssues Which is still incorrect. But, hey, this just me being a DC fan boi who knows the source material, and all...
I think they change Tritonis for the Fisherman kingdom
Key Issues mermaids are HALF human, half fish do they show no human at all so they aren’t “basically mermaids”
i dont get why blind creatures are afraid of the light, any idea?
PeaceIsAJoke they arent blind, their eyes were susposed to see a very small light as a huge light, thats why when trench cant see big light such as sun/flare cuz for them it looks like a freaking giant sun is on front of it
PeaceIsAJoke I think that is because they are sentive to light and ir hurts when they are expose to bight lights
Photosensitivity
That's because their kingdom is in Marianas Trench, one of the darkest depth of the ocean. Their bodies adapted there to survive so they're sensitive to light.
In fact, fishes in Marianas Trench generate light from their bodies because it's a dark place. In the comics, some of the Trench have the same capabilities.

If the missing kingdom is Atlanta, Georgia, then there would be no remnants of the kingdom since Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground in 1864 during his campaign of burning his way to the ocean. Maybe that’s how the north won the war, with the technology from the missing kingdom.🤩🧐
Finally! I've been waiting for an Aquaman movie Atlantis lore video! :D
Great work, Key!
I know that Aquaman cant go to 100% at rotten tomatoes but I believed it should be 75 or 80 percent. The only thing I dont like in aquaman is most action rely too much in spinning camera and the beginning where Mera meet Aquaman. If I will be asked, I will put the scene where they are going in ride then tsunami, then mera will enter and save them then ask for help. but still, I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH. I hate the critics lining in their current review in rotten tomatoes
Gladiator sits at a 76% on RT while Antman and the Wasp sit at 88% lol RT has no credibility whatsoever
Well Mera saving Aquaman’s dad changed Jason Mamoa’s heart and thought because he owed her he would come with her. Jason Mamoa saying no at first shows his character, and his flaws.
@Da Noob Sandstorm also, because BP applied african culture very accurate and performance very well, despite adding modern and science fiction culture. But the finale, kinda bland and lack of black panther-ish. like they more applied captain america punching acrobat than BP acrobat, claw punching/slashing, etc. BP perform better in Civil War than in finale of BP movie(but the night battle/climax/center part of movie is good)
For future commenters, I am marvel fan, both animated and mcu.
@Da Noob Sandstorm I also hate those people saying, Aquaman copy black panther plot, fighting for throne story...I mean, this kind of plot IS very used today, from books, to movies etc. Why do people just critize Aquaman saying they copying the plot of fighting-for-throne while black panther isn't?
@@keanutype0896 cos they are idiots and blind fanboys. Aquaman rocks
they knew where the true location of Bikini Bottom
-Mr Krabs and Sebestian has joined the fight!-
Me any time the Brine were on screen:
"Craaab people. Craaab people. Taste like crab, talk like people. Craaab people."
It make me curious. Who hold sway over The Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Southern and Northern Ocean then?
Since I'm pretty sure this first Aquaman movie only covering the entirety of The Atlantic Ocean.
The Atlantic is the only safe ocean for build the kingdom. Maybe the ocean you mentioned above has been claimed by the fisherman kingdom, trench kingdom and etc
probably by asian aquaman
The Atlantic Ocean is definitely controlled by Atlantis because they’re named after each other,the other oceans might also be controlled by others.
The trench is located in the pacific ocean and in the comics, The xebel people were located in the Bermuda triangle in the comics but in this movie, they are located in the northern sea.
@@kevintyson2937 Well, that really messing things up, don't you think? Geographically it doesn't add up. Because Aquaman see the location through a bottle when they were in Sicily Island, the Pacific Ocean is way too far, not to mention a big America continent sitting between them and the Pacific Ocean. It will take weeks if not months for them to sail to Pacific Ocean with that flimsy fishing boat.
When you draw a straight line from Sicily Island across the Atlantic Ocean, the only reasonable place is Puerto Rico Trench. Which is make sense, since the underwater anomaly is more akin to Bermuda Triangle legend, and those places only sitting a neighborhood away from each other.
Wonder what becomes of Ocean Master in the sequel?
Probably escaped and helped black manta. And Arthur loses his mother in the process. Thor 2.0
I hope he is more of an anti-hero...and retains some loyalty to Arthur.
So he shouldn't team up with Black Manta...he should actually help protect Arthur from him.
But meanwhile he will still try to raise a rogue army to conquer the surface world so he has something to rule over.
@@brokenwave6125 Yes I don't see him playing second fiddle for long He's very ambitious & knows what power & being number one is.
So no while he feigns loyalty to Arthur he'll undoubtedly be pursuing his own agenda.
@@herewegoagain5174 Black manta is confirmed to work with that guy from news who was obsessed with atlantis. Hes going to find black manta floating on a piece of wood and ask him where he got that technology. Black manta then makes a deal with him saying that he will show him if he helps him kill aquaman.
@@tuantani8480 thor and Aquaman nothing alike.
I think the lost kingdom might be located near one of the poles of the Earth and the reason it's lost is because it got frozen in the ice caps that exist today. Just a theory.
I am glad we got to see what happened to Necrus aka the missing kingdom
If Atlanta, GA is the 7th kingdom then you better watch your wallet and avoid rush hour. When I stopped in Atlanta on Greyhound. 5 minutes outside a guy got his wallet stolen. The Cops didn't even care. He was like... What can I do? The guy is gone. Lol, poor tourist...
Amber Heard was hot, that gave movie 9/10
