10 Ridiculous Complaints About Upcoming Movies That Need To Die

2. Aquaman Sucks - Batman Vs Superman

Do you know what sucks as much on paper as a sea-faring king of the fishes? A walking tree that says three words. Or a raccoon with a bad attitude. Or Chris Pratt playing a Han Solo-like action hero. All outrageous suggestions, but all major parts in Guardians Of The Galaxy's success. Provided Dawn Of Justice and its sequels and individual spin-offs are written and executed well, there should be no concerns that Aquaman isn't a strong enough character, or that his origin is just too silly. Yes, there should be complaints if he's relegated to getting dolphins to spy on secret plans, but the character is an enduring part of the Justice League make-up and Marvel's success with Guardians proved that unconventional characters could get over with audiences if they're presented the right way. Whether DC and Warner Bros can actually do it is a matter for debate, but it's senseless to immediately cast off an entire strand of a movie because you think one of the characters is a bit silly.
