Fun fact: Justin Hartley got to be Green Arrow in Smallville after this, where he basically almost took over the show because he was so popular. Once Smallville ended they wanted to spin him off into his own show which eventually turned into Arrow. So you kinda have this guy to thank for the Arrowverse.

One thing I thought was interesting is that in the original script, AC’s friend at the bar also works as a marine biologist collecting algae. She sees herself as sort of a farmer of the deep blue, which would have eventually led to her founding an algae conservation project called Blue Harvest, which coincidentally was the working title of the original Star Wars

I've always thought that Sam Claflin from the Hunger Games should've made a better Aquaman aesthetically. Even a better interpretation of the New 52 version. However, if the 2018 film bombs. I'd say recast Jason Mamoa as Lobo, from there you'll get your DC version of a "rated R/Deadpool" type of film. Which I think would be better suited for him imo.

Justin Hartley is an amazing and on-the-scene actor now for his role in This Is Us! Awesome show, awesome actor

This show was the reason why Justice League Unlimited had "Devil Ray" instead of Black Manta. The cartoon people weren't allowed to use Black Manta and had to make a substitution. I think some executive thought that people would get confused if the character was in both shows.

You guys are great! I’m hiding my laughter while I work and watching you guys tear apart these shows / movies. You guys make a great team, please don’t stop 😂

Like Kristin Kreuk setting the standard of Lana, and Teri Hatcher for Lois, Jason Mamoa changed the look of Aquaman forever. Their look just fit the public favorite vision of the character. The Comicbook artist just reinforce the pleasing look in their art design. Thats not to say the others versions are not good, it just means, that folks just attach the character to the person acting in the role because they just hit a natural chord in the fans and artist.

Secret Auquaman? Obviously it’s MrSundayMovies in a kitty pool

I remember this popped up on iTunes as a free pilot. I downloaded it but never watched it. This guy was a good Oliver Queen in Smallville.

I love that of all of the books, all of the Shakespeare plays, he didn't give him The Tempest. You could actually work that into the story! I mean Henry IV is all about giving up the life of leisure to fulfill one's duty, which, presumably, AC would need to do as he becomes king of Atlantis, but still, The Tempest is all about magic and water and kingdoms!

Adrienne Palicki must love comic books a lot because she keeps trying to be in these pilots. Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Marvel's Most Wanted. I do really hope they bring her back for the Disney+ MCU as Mockingbird though. She killed it as Bobbi Morse.

You forgot to mention the weirdness of how, instead of casting the Aquaman from Smallville as Aquaman, they cast the Green Arrow of Smallville as Aquaman. How were they ever going to explain that if they had a crossover? And now the Aquaman of Smallville is now the Hawk of Titans.

Justin Hartley, the guy that played Aquaman in this thing, was actually Green Arrow in Smallville. Maybe that's why the show wasn't taken seriously. I know once I see certain people as one "superhero", it's hard to see them as another one, unless enough time has passed. Alan Ritchson played Aquaman on Smallville starting in 2005, that could also be a reason people didn't like that someone else was playing Aquaman on TV. Justin Hartley got this Aquaman role in 2006, the same year he started playing Green Arrow on Smallville. Basically, they had all of the actors and characters way too intertwined within one another.

Random trivia he is called AC because he’s just as cool as Air Conditioning. Also the actor went to Smallville and played Oliver Queen who’s parents died on a yacht. Also the guy who played Aquaman in Smallville now plays Hawk in Titans and just like Superman in Smallville Hawk in Titans does not fly. See it all comes full circle.

I really enjoyed this pilot at the time. I really enjoyed them using real locations in Florida and I thought it neat them introducing a female fighter pilot, who I hope we'd get to see do some kickass stuff in future episodes.

I remember watching something and seeing an advertisement for this in the pre roll. Maybe it was Smallville lol. Funny that he was going to play Aquaman in a production made by the Smallville crew but ended up playing Green Arrow.

I didn't think the pilot was horrible. I saw it when it was first available and, while it was kind of hokey, I was interested enough to see more. Alas, it was not to be. Alan Ritchson, the guy who played Aquaman in the Smallville series, looked more the part, though. Justin Hartley ended up playing Green Arrow and I thought he did a good enough job.

LOL their shoot them between the eyes joke reminded me of a discussion in a book, can't remember which one, about killing vampires. I am going from hazy memory but the characters are talking about the methods and one says something like, "Drive a stake through their heart, cut off their head, and stuff the mouth with garlic and rose petals." And the other one responds, "I think that'd work on anyone, not just vampires, better be damned sure they're actually a vampire first."

At least Lou Diamond and Vinny Rames are in this. I couldn’t even finish that Wonder Woman pilot.

Justin Hartley who plays Aquaman was also on Smallville which basically caused this to happen but he played Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow.

Mason's nickname should be Heater. Because he's anti AC. .... Yaaaaaaaaaaaa
