I mean, I noticed so many references and what felt like blantant rip offs of classic scenes. I still enjoyed the movie but the constant copying started to get distracting.

I haven't seen the new one but I remember the first one being hella like a Saturday morning cartoon; especially with how damn near every major dialogue scene ended with a wall being blown up and bad guys pouring in for a fight.

Personally, I like that dumb shit. I want the super hero movie to feel like a comic book or cartoon.

Every scene ended with Aquaman taking his shirt off. Where did he get all the shirts??
