6 Movie Characters Who Should Have Accepted The Ice Bucket Challenge
3. Aquaman
In a year and a halfs time, millions of moviegoers will flock to cinemas to watch Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Many will attend under the good old-fashioned auspices of being entertained, the rest to confirm their long-held suspicions that DC are but the inbred cousins of the mighty Marvel. Perhaps the biggest challenge awaiting Zack Snyder and co., however, is how to introduce the long-suffering Aquaman. Of course, in the right hands, the character is money in the bank: eight years ago, James Cameron made a significant splash when his Aquaman movie opened to $116,844,114, but sadly that was fictional and happened on Entourage. In all likelihood, it would take just such a Rumpelstiltskin, i.e. a James Cameron, armed with his superpower of spinning humdrum twaddle into box office gold at will (see Avatar), or similar filmmaker (see Michael Bay) to repeat the feat. A cross between Michael Phelps, Doctor Dolittle and Hulk Hogan, the blond-locked Aquaman has been the Internet whipping boy of superheroes since day dot. Clad in a costume thats part-WWE, part-glam rock, all-make-it-stop, Aquaman can talk to fish and swim really fast, so why he hasnt attracted more of a following remains a mystery to rival the disappearance of his Atlantis homeland. Why he should accept the challenge: Water off a ducks back, Aquaman might be the character on this list that would most enjoy it. As he nears a big-screen outing, everyones already pouring cold water on Aquaman anyway, so if you cant beat em... He could even conceivably boost his popularity by diving in and using the stunt as a springboard to establish a presence on social media #sleepswiththefishes.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
