    Aquaman has one billion reasons to not worry about The Upside stealing its headlines.

      @Eric_s_Channel 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The Upside already has stolen it's headlines.. and because of that, less new people will go see Aquaman to help him get higher domestic numbers... remember: domestic numbers are more important to the studio to overseas numbers. That,s why Aquaman is not a garanty that the DCEU is totally out of trouble!!

      Yeah but that's the point. Shows how sometimes audiences and critics can differ. Aquaman is good because anybody could get into it. It's literally timeless. No human tech that much. You see a cell phone but it's a generic one. 20 yrs from now, it will still have it's effect because it's not trying to be something it's not. It was real with itself and audiences saw that and liked it. Imagine if it tried to be dark or have some big message or themes, it's about time action and adventures films stop trying to be dramas or comedy and be action/adventure films

But I think with how well the movie did, it more than likely makes Aquaman 2 more of a priority to make than something else. And I really want a sequel since Aquaman was my favorite movie of 2018.

    Hi Grace, been a subscriber of you since think about the ink was active with you in "the lead role".
    I Question for you :)
    When movies like the Intouchables, Starbuck and the girl with the dragon Tattoo gets remaid in the US, are the original versions ever available to viewers in the US? are they made by request, or are they remaid/adapted so that it would fit the american audience? Are they credited? I've seen a bunch of movies coming from non-english speaking countries, and some from for example England, get remaid, and I am a bit puzzled. Why not just put subtitles on them since the remaid version (in my opinion) rarely is up to par.
    Hope to hear about this in an upcoming Video!
