We're just one month away from the release of Director James Wan's Aquaman, the first full-length feature film centered around Jason Momoa's Justice League superhero. Now the final trailer has dropped, with all the magical tridents, warrior princesses, and epic CGI battles you'd expect from a superhero movie about averting a mythological war between two very different worlds.
Aquaman first entered the DC Comics universe in a 1941 anthology and later turned into a solo comic book series. He was a founding member of the Justice League during the "Silver Age" of the 1950s and 1960s. But he was never among the most compelling superheroes in the DC stable, often serving as the butt of jokes because of his supposedly inferior super powers. Hey, telepathically communicating with fish is cool, right?
Prediction: Scenes full of pathos over dolphins caught in fishing nets, and outrage over the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. What other important lessons will Aquaman have to teach us?

Also, I would say Disney are at highly culpable in the production of countless of tons of worthless branded landfill fodder that is manufactured in China only to be shipped halfway round the world, dropped into a bag with a fast food order and then discarded within hours.
I mean seriously, would the world really be any worse off without happy meal toys?
