I'm getting some strong Black Panther vibes to Aquaman with the throne being challenged by a an evil realitive and said realitive wants to go to war with the outside world. I know it's not beat-to-beat, but it has similar plot points

The big difference is that in the case of Aquaman, the outsider who’s challenging for the throne is the protagonist.

I know it's not beat-to-beat, but it has similar plot points The throne isn't being challenged by an evil relative. Orm is already the King. Mera is trying to get Arthur to stop Orm. It's actually more accurate to say that Black Panther is basically a copy of King Arthur. King Arthur is challenged by an evil relative, his illegitimate son Mordred. |

Actually yeah, Orm's exact words was that the throne is being challenged. I'm aware there are different circumstances, but there's still similar plot beats to Black Panther, especially with one them wanting to go to war with the outside world for xenophobic motivations, more or less. |

No, you said in Black Panther the throne was challenged by an evil relative who wants to go to war with the outside world. That's not the case in Aquaman. The throne of Atlantis isn't being challenged by an evil relative who wants to go to war with the outside world. |

Yeah, it's pretty much the same. Been saying that since they said the synopsis of the movie. Doesn't matter if the person coming to the hidden kingdom is the protagonist. It's still about an outsider fighting for the thrown and one of them wanting to declare war. And it will probably end with them revealing themselves to the outside world to further relations.

Got a bit of a Thor vibe as well.

The throne of Atlantis isn't being challenged by an evil relative who wants to go to war with the outside world. I also never said it was a beat-to-beat copy of it. Obviously, a few plot points are different as well as the circumstances, but overall, the concept of a "rightful" ruler challenged for the throne by another who wants to go to war over xenophobic motivations. Same idea. Not to mention, the idea of gathering opposing "tribes/clans/kingdoms" and/or them fighting is just like Black Panther as well with opposing tribes are either gathered together to fight opposing tribes in a massive CGI battle with CGI warrior animals (Rhinos in BP; Sharks in this). Not sure what Black Manta's role in this film will be, but I'm going to guess it'll be something akin to Ulysses Klaue's role in BP. Aquaman has very similar plot beats to Black Panther, which is disappointing honestly. |

I did get that vibe. Theres a scene in Black Panther where they're in the flying aircraft and fly into Wakanda for the first time and he's in awe.
Then in this trailer he's on a ship heading into Atlantis and he's in awe.

Basically, a little bit more to Aquaman though. I even get Avatar vibes when it comes to CGI as well.

Yeah but it's been a longstanding intro plot for Aquaman so you could say BP ripped of but inverted the Aquaman plot, or BP may have had this happen in comics before anyway...lets just call it a draw how bout that?

There are really only what, 8 basic stories, and everything else is just variations on the main frame. You've got trucks, sports cars, 4WD, vans, and family cars. No matter how many do-dads you add to a truck, it is still a truck. You have a kingdom hidden from most of the world, two relatives vying for the throne with opposing points of view about the kingdom. After that, it is just the little details you are tweaking. I'm really looking forward to the movie, granted I love THOR and BLACK PANTHER, so that makes AQUAMAN right up my alley.

If the Wonder Woman movie was like a combination of CATFA and Thor, Aquaman feels like a combination of BP and Ragnarok. Shazam feels like a combination of Kickass and Antman.

Wonder Woman was nothing like CAFTA or Thor. And Shazam! feels like The Greatest American Hero and not a combination of Kickass and Ant-Man. |

Everyone, DC fans and Marvel agree that WW is like C.A and Thor |

Where'd you pull this one, out of your ass? Please provide a link for proof that Black Panther is based on JL: ToA |

In your opinion...seriously dude you need to figure this shit out, what you think is not fact, in fact most of what you say is proven factually incorrect so why are you such an arrogant tosser all the time?
Incase you missed it Skaathar didn't say either films or trailers WERE a combo of those films just that it felt like such, which is obviously him stating his opinion...as an opinion, you may want to try this sometime.
