Why comic book superheroes are pretty ridiculous

Sure, this is an example of retarded story writing - but the genre makes it easy for it. Regardless, though a lot longer than likely ever needed, it's pretty funny.

in all fairness it is Aquaman...and it was a failed pilot.  At least Justin Hartley went on to be a descent green arrow.

Vincent Chase did a good job with Aquaman.  He opened with the highest opening ever besting Spiderman.  What more do you want?   :laugh2:

Great episode last Sunday night though.  I thought it was the best one of the entire series.

It's eleven pages, actually. I'm having a good time reading it, but for information's sake, the first page is quite enough.

I just think it's all silly, but I'm not into the medieval thing either, which basically is what this stuff is in a different setting.
