Was it written during the pandemic?
My general impression is that all the media that tried to do things the same way despite the pandemic's restrictions often hit weird quality problems ... just like this. So much of it will look like it came from before/after the pandemic, but the writing or plot or something will just feel wrong ... almost as though someone was told to keep writing no matter what even though really didn't want to or just struggled to work, cuz creative work sometimes can't be forced.
On the flip side, it seemed that any media/art that leaned into the pandemic experience thrived ... because it was speaking truth ... and you, that's a good way to be creative.
Premier was in 2018, so they don't get to pull that card
I think OP is talking about the second one (
new aquaman) which came out last year.Ah damn yeah, I thought I was still in the thread from above, talking about how awful the first one was.
