Aquaman: 23 WTF Moments

19. You Really Can't Electrocute Someone Underwater

This being a blend of science fiction and fantasy, there are some very obvious liberties taken. For instance, sitting in a whale's mouth for safe transit is impractical and smelly at best, sea horses and sharks would make terrible vehicles to ride on and allowing Pitbull to cover any songs and expecting anything but a disaster is just ludicrous. They're all pretty forgivable though, because it's what happens in movies.

What's harder to accept is watching a captive Aquaman kneeling before Orm with guards holding him down using chains and then one of them using what appears to be a cattle-prod to electrocute him into submission. That's electrocute him. Under the sea. In the water, which is famously a terrible thing to combine with water.

F*ck science, though, right guys?
