That JLA joke was pretty clever 😂

Smallville as a show was ahead of its time. Still contend that it's probably one the the best screen adaptation projects of Clark Kent/Superman. One of the best portrayals of Lex and Clark Kent.

As far as I’m concerned, that is the only live action Lex Luther worth watching at all

If I had a nickel for every time Adrianne Palicki was in a failed DC pilot, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened twice😂

I hear that. If I had a nickel for every time something happened, I'd rethink using nickels.

Man I loved this pilot in the day. I remember being so hyped for Aquaman on Smallville, which was so well done. I think if they had kept Alan and made it a little closer to Smallville it could’ve been huge

No, Raj as Aquaman from The Big Bang Theory....

Another weird tidbit: apparently due to the Aquaman show's production, Black Manta was renamed Devil Ray when he appeared in Justice League Unlimited. Funnily enough, the character was voiced by Michael Beach, who also appeared in 2018's Aquaman as Black Manta's dad. I certainly hope that was the reason why and not a major coincidence.

I do think, given Aquaman's resurgence in popularity, I think Aquaman as a character has some potential, granted I don't know if a live-action show would really work. I do have to say, since Alan Ritchson has expressed interest in playing Batman in James Gunn's DCU, I wouldn't mind him playing a different DC character like Captain Atom, Wildcat, or potentially returning to play Aquaman again, I don't know I think he could do a good job in the role again as a more mature and stoic Arthur Curry

I don't think he would be a great choice for Wildcat. He is too young and in too good of a shape to be wildcat. Captain atom could be a good choice tho or maybe someone like green arrow or booster gold would be best because Alan ritchson is a big guy and he can play a very funny character like thad from blue Mountain state.

Justin hartley was aquaman on a show that never took off.

Hey! There's nothing wrong with Adrianne Palicki in a bikini, that's better than a ton of the villains they could have replaced her with.

Thank you for this episode. That pilot deserved more credit. Jason Mamoa has never been aquaman for me. I remember feeling robbed when they canceled this series

There was a Birds of Prey show with DINA MEYER??? 🤯

THAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD....blue mountain state is his best role before reacher

I've got money on Alan Ritchson being somewhere in the future DCU films, maybe Batman

When I first heard about Aquaman was getting a series natural I thought it was Alan. But when it wasn't Alan I thought to myself what was the point of making this show. It wasn't even a spin off it was it own thing not connected to Smallville.

I wouldn't call this a fun fact but adrianne palacki has been in 2 cancelled dc pilots this and wonder woman and when on agents of shield she was supossed to get a spinoff marvel's most wanted

Mercy Reef was on track to change TV as we know it. Rocking out to Downfall by Trust Company in the intro. I’ve watched the pilot so many times it’s real to me. Justin Hartley was amazing. That said, James Gunn bringing the 3x larger Alan Ritchson in as the new DCU Aquaman would be the biggest boss move ever.

0:48 *"Of-fish-cially"* 😂🍸

They should have an Aquaman being hinted at in a show or film, like surveilance photos or something youbcan barely see at a distance. But visible enough that you can tell it's Alan Richtson. But then when they finally reveal the caracter it's Justin Hartley!

5:20 ironic bc that’s exactly where Smallville starts Clark’s journey: both he and the Kents are aware that he’s strong and fast, but is sceptical when his parent reveal his alien lineage to him

The pilot was no where near as good as Smallville's

Vincent Chase will always be Aquaman

After they got fired, both of them were so angry that they teamed up and became F&F villains

The Aquaman of Justin could be great, Alan played Hawk in Titans and i would love to see Aquaman 3 😢

Should’ve referenced it in Crisis On Infinite Earths

They had Ving AND Lou?! That's wild!!!

when i watched the justin hartley show i rembember liking it. i also was disappointed when it was cancelled

That recent animated aquaman show on HBO was kinda cool

I like that he could control the police.

You could buy this pilot for $2 a few years ago I don’t know if you still can. I still own it on my google play or whatever that is now

I'm glad that Alan didn't get the job because he might not have become Reacher

There was a Birds of Prey tv show??

Yup.

I saw the unaired pilot. It was once on KZread and I thought it was good. It came out around the time Arrow came out.

I actually liked Birds of Prey. I mean.. honestly? it was my favorite CW show. But I don't remember the episodes, absolutely nothing (I was a little young) but I remember "wanting to watch and follow the story"

Reacher is awesome

What if Green arrow was aquaman, in other words these elseworlds are crazy!

I’ll watch anything with Lou Diamond Phillips

🔥🔥🔥

Still my top 5 tv shows of all time❤

Aimes and Dante Reyes

What happened to Tyler Denny?

The show would’ve been better if the villain was his nemesis black manta or his brother ocean master like in the movies and where’s mera and aqua lad

Who the hell is Alan Rickson!?

Back in the day and now WB/DC do not know what to woit their IPs. It is hilarious and laughable to say the very least. There is nothing professional about. They are just guessing and failing for decades now. Thats just sad

Pause at 1:43 fucking LOL

i think it's pronounced rich-sin

Recasting alan was a mistake

Smallville did not change Aquaman. Justice League Unlimited change Aquaman to what he look like on the movies with Jason Momoa

Of course Arthur climbs aboard the quhnt 😂

I think that version of Aquaman washed out a long time ago

Why they fired Depp and kept Turd even after the court officially said she was the issue?

Hot take: this is the dumbest super hero ever. Every version of this character is bad and it is hilarious this dude keeps showing up in movies that don't even have shit to do with water. Like, how is he going to fight someone in the middle of NYC? Does he keep little water-filled piranha balls he can throw at someone? No? He's just really strong and sarcastic? Wow, what an impressive array of formidable abilities. 🤣

You ok?!!?! WET AND READY BRO 🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🫡🥴😂
