10 Ways Aquaman Is Better Than Black Panther

5. Third Act Excellence

BP's third act was a mess of unfinished CGI and dragged the movie down significantly. While the film had standout action scenes prior to this that mixed practical effects with digital, the entirety of this portion felt half-hearted and extremely fake. After all, the less said about the Panther vs. Panther battle near the Vibranium trains, the better.

Aquaman's finale soars above this by utilizing the special effects in a way that made the viewing experience larger than life. Whereas a great deal of BP's finale could've been done practically, Aquaman's couldn't. However, James Wan and the effects team didn't use this as an excuse, instead electing to create an underwater version of Return of The King's battle scene, placed underwater. A visually-stunning aquatic war that culminates in a deeply personal fight between brothers.

The stakes are high, the action is visually-striking, and it will give Aquaman fans exactly what they want. Over-the-top sea battles involving Atlanteans riding sharks/seahorses, Kraken, and even Crab People straight out of South Park. You've never seen any battle like this before.
