She's also bi in the movie because every woman in media has to be, now.

I mean, I'm well aware that all women are gay/bi anyway, no matter what they say, but I'm also not sure what, if anything, that little tidbit of information added to the plot of the movie. Pretty sure it's just something they put in there to score points with a certain section of the audience who'd loudly piss and moan otherwise.

As I've said elsewhere, I'm done with comic book movies/TV shows (and most movies and TV shows in general) until they get this sh*t out of their system. And I have no faith that's gonna be anytime soon. Thankfully, movies and TV existed for several decades before I showed up and so there's a ton of stuff I haven't seen yet, as well as plenty of stuff I'm fine re-watching. It would be nice to get new stuff I could enjoy, but as anyone my age has to hear day after day anymore, "You Are Not The Audience, The World Has Moved On And You (And Your Money) Are No Longer Valued."

So, y'know, whatever. Like I said, it's fine. I have plenty to keep me occupied, and also, don't actually plan to live very long.

A year of delay?
Amazing WB, amazing.

Well, according to the film the character is biracial. Try casting a Caucasian actress and pull that.


In the DC thread, I have been asking about back issue bin purchases. I have been getting a lot out back issue bins and filling out my Silver-Bronze runs. Just got the 1st League of Assassins (stabbed 7.5 copy) to fill in my last hole of a 140 issue Detective Comics run.

And yet those words could also be used against the people who say that, the same people who support something that's "not for them."

Left live and breath hypocrisy.
They just disguise their hatred and bigotry with "concerns about equality".

"I fought really hard to stay in the movie. They didn't want to include me in the film," Heard said Monday about Aquaman 2.

She threatened to **** someone's bed, if she was removed from the move?

[Andrew NDB]

The stupid thing here is that I'm assuming the writers had an arc for Mera. And they should, because Mera and their child is a huge part of things in the Aquaman universe in the comics and even what the first movie set up. Yet here we are. Now we're probably going to get a bunch of editors editing out or extremely down the character because of the actress playing Mera's personal life and pooping and whatever.

This is horrible. Maybe they couldn't recast in time to reshoot but the casualty will be the movie for sure.

Yeah, I have no interest in seeing this movie, and the mood of the public in general is if Amber is even a millisecond or two in this one, it won't make money. It's become far too politically weaponized. This and The Flash are both becoming toxic cinematic properties.

I don't think it was bad luck that caused the DCEU's demise.

It was WB's greed, arrogance, and ignorance.

They should just find the ****in time. If they were able to cut her time to ten minutes, recast and refilm the ten minutes. Just do it in a way where you don't have too many people in the background.

I 100% agree with you. The discourse on most movies like this is super annoying, and overly politicized. Heard or not, I wasn't going to see this anyway since I didn't like the first Aquaman. I'm morbidly curious about Flash because that looks like it's going to be a huge train wreck. I won't pay to see it, though, of course. There's other ways to view such a movie...if you catch my drift.

[Leo656]

She was good as Mera, it's stupid that all this extracurricular sh*t should have any effect on a movie. Work and Home should be kept separate.

Like, I really dislike Johnny Depp and I think this entire situation with him and Heard is ridiculous; two coked-up drunk people had a few closed-door fights, big f*cking deal, if it was in Alabama and just two random meth-heads it wouldn't even make the newspaper. But like, I never thought Depp should have lost work over it. The showing up to set drunk, assaulting staff, the fact that he was getting paid $20 million per movie even though the box office gross kept falling on everything he was in... okay, THAT stuff, maybe, should be a factor into what roles he gets or how much he gets paid. But the personal stuff? That's personal. Leave it alone.

If we knew what ANY of these entertainers got up to at home behind closed doors, we'd be disgusted, so just let it be private and personal. People still gotta work. They deserve to be allowed to work, even if their personal lives are a mess.

It's so stupid. All of it.

On one side, I agree. Whatever they do off camera isn't their business. I' mostly going by the 'fair is fair' angle. If they want Aquaman 2 to be pretty much the Mera movie, go for it. Just bring back Depp in all the projects he was dropped by.

My main thing is, if they're drop a guy just over accusations without even looking it, then do the same for the bitch that's doing pretty much the same thing.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah. Don't deviate from whatever the plan was with Mera in Aquaman 2. Period. That is the most important thing. After that? They want to recast her in Aquaman 3? That's fine.

Yeah but since Johnny isn't most likely gonna get his jobs back... Remove Amber entirely from Aquaman 2.

[Leo656]

The whole relationship dynamic was one of the things I was most intrigued by and looking forward to seeing play out in future movies. Because it's some of the most interesting material regarding the Aquaman character.

It's stupid that an entire movie series can be tanked, just because a bunch of fangirls who wanna f*ck Depp write an online petition bullying WB into making Heard lose her job.

Women crack me up with that sh*t, too. "Believe all women, always... Unless we wanna f*ck the guy being accused, then the woman is obviously a lying whore even though we weren't in the room or anything." Same sh*t going on with Depp's buddy Manson, too. Lots and lots of women all like "I don't care if he DID torture those women, he didn't do that to ME so I still want his nut butter inside me!"

Nobody has any standards of decency anymore. They just pick sides and plant flags based on personal biases. Gross.

He might if he dropped his ridiculous asking price. People leave out the fact that NOTHING he's been in has made money for years and that even the Pirates movies were slipping, well before any accusations.

He's not a draw. He had an audience of thirsty housewives and their daughters but now that he's a bloated old drunk a lot of people moved on. He's no longer guaranteed to bring in big money, yet he only ever asks for a bigger paycheck.

The accusations may have been the last straw but he was already wearing out his welcome. If he was willing to humble himself, things might turn around.

And no, nobody should lose their job over hearsay. Not him, not her. That stuff NEEDS to stop immediately and two wrongs don't make a right.

Yeah. I feel like a lot of the Depp supporters have forgotten his last slate of movies before this drama began.

Mortdecai, Transcendence (one of the worst movies I ever saw), Yoga Hosers, Sherlock Gnomes... Pirates and Fantastic Beasts were the last prominent things he did.

And no, nobody should lose their job over hearsay. Not him, not her. That stuff NEEDS to stop immediately and two wrongs don't make a right.

I'm of the same mind on this. This is their personal drama, and none of the general public's concern. Not sure why people are foaming at the mouth trying to defend either of them as if they're friends or even lovers of these people. Maybe it's because I've never been obsessed with boy bands or celebrities or whatever, so I...can't relate to people feeling so super 'close' to these unreachable people. But I always care more about the characters, and the way they're written rather than who plays them. Even then I can distinguish fiction from reality. Somehow.
