If they went with a dark and murky aesthetic, people would’ve complained about how they’re trying too hard to be edgy and realistic, and not willing to embrace the weirdness of the source material. People will complain regardless of what creative choices are made. I'm not complaining so much as stating my own preference. In a way, I'm glad Aquaman has laid claim to a fun, family-friendly fantasy approach. That leaves other possibilities open for Marvel's Namor. I see his Atlantis as being darker and lit from within as opposed to a shimmering, color-saturated underwater city. Wan's Atlantis is brighter than most surface cities that are actually under the sun but, I suppose that was the whole point. I actually would prefer not to see Namor's Atlantis in his first cinematic entry at all. Atlantis should be a place of legend and mystery. The problem of any portrayal with Atlantis in fiction is that once you actually see it, it becomes less mysterious and even less credible. You have to suspend too much disbelief. No one can actually have a conversation underwater. A more credible vision might have been pressurized structures that actually have air inside of them... I should stop now before I get labeled an Aquaman hater. The movie looks good. I just disagree fundamentally with some of the creative choices.
