10 Things In The DCEU That Make No Sense
4. In Aquaman, Orm's War Is Confusing And Unnecessary
The Atlantean king, Orm, wishes to declare war on the surface world since humans have polluted the oceans for over a century. Orm sends this trash back to the surface as a warning to humanity.
If he has the power to do this, why doesn’t he and the other underwater civilisations send garbage to the surface all the time? Mankind have been dumping a huge amount of trash in the ocean for years. Considering billions of animals are dying because of this, why did it take so long for the ocean kingdoms to retaliate? I understand why they may not want to declare war on humanity but sending the pollution back should stop the humans from dumping it, making Orm's war unnecessary.
Also, Orm hires Black Manta to attack the underwater civilisations so he can convince the other kings to join him. But the first thing that Black Manta does in this staged attack is blow up Orm! What if Orm died? I'm pretty sure being dead would have screwed up his plan.
Also, there is a scene where Pteranodons are in the Earth’s core. That scene is also a bit unrealistic.
