    Amber Heard had a lot more screen time and "hero" moments than I was expecting. It proves they didn't diminish her role cause of controversy, but merely shifted the co-lead role to Patrick because he has better chemistry with Jason than Amber, which is exactly what WB said in court. They weren't lieing, cause they had an easy moment in the plot that could've kept her out of the whole film.

    The movie has a lot going on. It could have a better plot. Maybe Yahya's character could have discovered the black trident through research and maybe he could have entered Atlantis with the mission to kill Aquaman. The lost kingdom reminded me of Mordor and its people the disavowed fighters whose souls were trapped and Aragorn frees them after they serve him in battle in the Return of the King.

So much of the character was lost just so Momoa could play him.

    I just saw Aquaman 2 yesterday, and it was alright. Despite Amber Heard being in it, I still like it.

    That first line, greatest first line of a review ever.

    A Nagash reference?! Never would I have thought I'd hear a Warhammer Fantasy reference in a JJ review. Just goes to show you how wide spread WH is. And I love it!!

    I love how Jonathon Majors got dropped by Marvel and other companies immediately as soon he was found guilty of assault and may face jail time meanwhile, when Amber Heard was exposed to have assaulted Johnny Depp and guilty for defamation..her screentime on Aquaman was merely cut down rather than removed entirely. Apparently, she was dropped from various companies but they seemed to drag their ass and like she was still given a chance. I know she wasn't tried for that assault but that fact that she isn't speaks volumes to the toxic double-standards regarding when men do physical assault and when women do it and even now, how women often get lighter sentences, if any at all. Not saying Majors should not get held accountable/punished, he should but sometimes the punishment does NOT fit the crime. These toxic double-standards and hypocrisy just seems to overshadow all the good aspects of living in the U.S. now 🤦‍♂

    You didn't ruin your review in the beginning. I still love hearing what you thought about it and you didn't disappoint.

    The big take away was Jeremy is a warhammer fan. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT NAGASH JEREMY?! Lets hope Henry Cavil and Amazon dont flub this Warhammer thing they are trying. Love your vids. keep it up.

    There are some scenes that had me genuinely thinking “is this a video game cut scene?” “What am I looking at?” Especially when mantis walked into the throne room with that high up angle right behind him like some shit you’ll see straight out of a video game 😂
