Jason Momoa said in an interview with Thomas that "The Lost Kingdom" didn't have good material, while Gunn and Safran focused on the production of "Superman: Legacy", while DC focused all his attention on "Aquaman". But Momoa is confident in The Lost Kingdom, as the first episode laid a solid foundation, and he thinks fans can tell what is a true classic. Thomas firmly believes that "Aquaman" will definitely have a new life, which is also his insistence. As a die-hard fan of "Aquaman", he is full of affection for the film. However, when Thomas saw that the material in the film was not so good, he was deeply disappointed by it. In the interview, the two also discussed the production cost of The Lost Kingdom, with Mr. Hamada believing that Aquaman was important, but Gunn not thinking it would have much of an impact.
Momoa also agreed with Thomas that the reason why "Aquaman" was able to get a new life depends on the support of the audience and the audience. At the same time, Thomas also mentioned one of the problems with Gunn's running of DC Films, which was the lack of entertainment elements in DC films. Judging from the history of Warners, over the years, most of the films in the DC world have been some more serious themes, and comedy films like "Fury of the Gods" are rare, and most of the DC companies are entertainment-oriented, rather than comedy-oriented. DC movies have always taken a serious and serious route and have been well received by many people, but the lack of entertainment elements is an important factor in its controversy. On the contrary, Marvel movies do a better job of entertainment and humor, which is also an important factor in its place among teenagers.
As we all know, the superheroes in the MCU are very balanced, and with the phased intervention of Marvel, there will be several comedy works in each period, such as "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Ant-Man", etc., which belong to the more relaxed and interesting genre. Gunn is the director of "Silver Guardian", and after working with Zaslav, he seems to have forgotten his experience at Marvel and forgotten that Warner's usual style is serious and serious, so there is no such humorous element in the films of the DC world. DC movies have always lacked entertainment, but that doesn't mean its films aren't of quality. DC has always valued attention to detail and emotional expression, which is why its films are loved by a wide range of audiences. However, if DC could put more effort into entertainment, its films would be more appealing.
Even though Gunn focused on Superman, even The New Bat was taller than The Lost Kingdom. Thankfully, Thomas didn't stop loving Aquaman, he felt it had a special appeal, but it hadn't been fully tapped yet. So, he was wondering how he could bring it back to life and give it a new lease of life. "Aquaman" has always been very popular, whether it is in the anime circle or on the big screen, this movie has never lost, how could it suddenly become a reborn?Here's what Thomas said: First, everyone has to look at it from the storyline to the character setting. He felt that the storyline was too complicated, and the characters were unclear and incomprehensible. So, he came up with a simple storyline that emphasized the character traits of the main character to make it more resonant with people.
It is clear that "Aquaman", which is the first episode, does not have such insight and cannot bring new life. Secondly, Thomas put forward the idea of improving the quality of the film. He felt that "The Lost Kingdom" was still relatively simple compared to the first series of works, and its special effects and sound effects were not very good, which would make people feel very uncomfortable, because the film has been invested very little. Therefore, he believes that we should increase investment and improve production standards to make the film more refined and shocking. Eventually, Thomas decided he had to adjust his sales strategy. He felt that the promotion of the film was not done enough, not enough to grab everyone's attention, and everyone felt the same way about each other. To this end, the promotion of the film should be strengthened, and the film should be promoted in a variety of ways to improve the quality and attractiveness of the film, so as to increase the audience's love for the film. From this point, it can be seen how strong Thomas's expectations for the movie "Aquaman" are.
The author (proudly ** the film) pointed out that Momoa also revealed to Gunn's director team that the film has been improved and enhanced as a whole, making the film more exciting and engaging. However, DC's approach to selecting films is not appropriate, because they are likely to turn limited works into unnecessary consumption, thereby limiting DC's creativity, which is not conducive to DC's long-term development. In general, DC Films lacks an entertainment element and struggles to win over more young people. At the same time, Warners will need to maintain its innovative plans in the field of science fiction for some time to come, so as to create a better film.
