ArsTechnica:

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?

    If even now you can't perceive the lesson of Marvel, Warner, Disney etc are keeping you infantile and satisfied only to take your money and make you spend on impulse, they succeeded in keeping you infantile and satisfied.

    So... what? People only go and watch these movies because they only think they're being entertained, but they're not? How does that work?

    How does that work?

    Creating an addiction to entertainment would be one way.
