To me it's not clear how this garbage actually leaves the dumps and ends in the ocean. It's not just stuff left on the beach that's pulled by the waves. It's not just stuff thrown overboard by seamen. It must be transported and conveniently dumped in the ocean while no one is looking. Probably the cheapest way to get rid of garbage, and it's been going on a large scale for decades. Ships travel between Asia and America with marchandise on one way, and have to be filled with something on their return. I wonder if half of all the plastic bottles sent to China for recycling ever get there.
Please AQUAMAN!! We need you!!


A lot of it is litter, stuff that gets thrown on the street, that is washed into storm sewers, and then into rivers and out to the ocean. But because the plastic isn't bio-degradable it just lingers and accumulates, some of it has been out there for decades drifting in the current.

Jealous, Aquaman?

No Aquaman? No justice league.

I'm a bit of a movie snob myself, but the major point at which I disagree with other movie snobs (and I use the term "snob" loosely) is on the suspension of disbelief.

Suspension of disbelief is a relative mechanic which cannot be applied liberally. In college I studied mythology, which suspends disbelief in favor of super-human acts and moral decisions rather than justifying, or describing in any believable way, their actions. Superheroes are mythological archetypes which fall into a similar category that embraces super-human behavior and "justice over evil" above all else.

For me The Dark Knight was TOO realistic at times. The sonar/phone bullshit was an attempt at making a superpower, or in Batman's case, a gadget, "realistic"; it didn't break any sort of suspension of disbelief, rather the opposite: It tried too hard to justify the power.

Now, I'm a man that anticipates the future. For me the evolution of superhero movies is more fascinating than the movies themselves. All you suspension of disbelief fanboys just wait til the big push for cross-superhero movies comes. Marvel has the boulder rolling with the set up for the Avengers, so it's only a matter of time before Superman and Batman cross paths. Once that happens, kiss all suspension good bye cuz your mind will be fucked if you embrace it.

Original Avengers? Thor, Iron Man, Wasp, the Hulk and Ant Man. Explain that to your suspension of disbelief.

Original Justice League? Batman, Superman, the Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern. Again, suspension of disbelief really has no place. Especially working off of preconceived ideas whose merit is best judged in the accurate retelling of the stories.

Oh no, Aquaman almost got rammed by that Black Man.. ta! That was too close for comfort. Another awkward moment brought to you by Aquaman.

Ah, classic cartoon cheese. The heroes and villians talking to themselves and stating the obvious. Aquaman attempting to swing an ancor around underwater for momentum while its drawn completely straight. Aquaman suddenly appearing in the submarine. Aquaman stopping a small fire by wiping out every coastal city in the western hemisphere. They just don't make cartoons like that anymore.

The ultra cheese and uselessness of Aquaman got me thinking of some other worthless heroes that should be thrown into the Justice League cartoons. They need to tap into Section 8. This includes what could even possibly be Dag's favorite hero, the Defenestrator.

Sixpack: Team leader, whose special ability is grotesque drunkenness and beating villains with broken-off liquor bottles.

Bueno Excelente: An obese, sweaty, and bald Latino in an overcoat who "defeats evil with the power of perversion." Generally, the only thing he says will be "Bueno", often preceded by a creepy chuckle. It is strongly implied that he violated Kyle Rayner in some way [2].

The Defenestrator: A large, burly man in a denim jacket, black sunglasses, with black hair who obsessively carries around a window through which he forcefully throws criminals and the occasional unlucky policeman. His assaults on police officers landed him in Arkham Asylum.

Dogwelder: A thin, silent man in a welder's mask who spot welds dead canines to evildoers, resulting in extreme burns and general horror. The question of how exactly one can weld a flesh and blood animal to a person is not answered by the series.

Friendly Fire: A large, hapless man in a red cowl, Friendly Fire would easily be the most powerful of Section 8's heroes if he were to shoot anything other than allies with the potent bolts of energy he fires from his hands.

Jean de Baton-Baton: A bizarrely gaunt walking French caricature who defeats enemies with "the power of Frenchness," as expressed by savage beatings with a baton and occasionally blinding others with rings of garlic and onions.

Flemgem: A sickly, thin, bald man in a green suit and a purple domino mask who has the ability to produce and expel large volumes of phlegm, which can blind, suffocate, or simply gross out evildoers.

Shakes: A thin, hairy vagrant who upsets people through stutters and an overall shaking palsy. He is a frequent, accidental target of Friendly Fire.

Those rings of thought-communication-fish-telepathy... where have I seen them before...


Thanks for crosslinking that video, turkey. That was an amazing video. Just wow.

Poor Aquaman, he's like a Robin of the Sea.


...and this whole Justice League, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman. You mean to tell me Superman can't cover everything?

Seinfeld

The sad thing is that this is probably Aquaman's greatest accomplishment to date.

People who are unoriginal knock aquaman... he is awesome!

Aquaman is definitely the lamest superhero, mainly because of his relative fame. For being so famous, he needs to be held to a higher standard.

Aquaman was cool.

Aquaman... such a useless, pointless waste of ink, paper, and TV lifespans.
