Please understand that I'm very much absorbed in this phase, getting less than 4 hours of sleep per night, and this movie's weird editing and emphasis on Arthur's fatherhood really triggered my fixation with the minutiae of parenting, feeding cycles, diaper changing, etc. I aimed my laser focus on something the vast majority of you are not interested in, and even those of you who DO have kids, probably have blocked out of your memory, or you're happy to have left in the past. So, while fatherhood is now an inseparable part of my worldview, I have no plans on making this my "brand" on UA-cam.
I actually loved this, I loved how much you were willing talk about your boy, don't apologize I've been watching this channel for about 8 years now and this was one of my favorite videos just because you shown a different view that I would never have ever saw watching this movie. So I'd welcome you talking more about your experience with being a parent
"I'm Batman" was whispered to a criminal on a Gotham rooftop. "I am Iron Man" was a mic drop moment in front of the media and the world. Aquaman's speech was, without a doubt, a reference to "I am Iron Man," mixed with a reference to T'Challa speaking in front of the UN.
Fun fact: at 21:00 when aquaman throws his trident splintering Kordaxs he actually says “‘O kēia kou hopena”(Hawaiian) which translated to English means “this is your end” Coming from being a kanaka and knowing the language I love when it is shown to the world 🤗
When it was Affleck, probably something like what happened in the Flash, Batman needing Aquaman’s help with some criminal When it was Keaton, probably Crisis on Infinite Earths
I actually really liked how well they were able to tie this to the previous Aquaman film. That’s probably because I watched the first film right before leaving to see it in the theater
The line when black manta or Cordax said "You're only half the man he was" shows that Cordax actually still loved and respected Atlan, his older brother
A fun little detail, on Patrick wilson’s shirt when he eats the burger is a character named Jabber jaw! Which is a character from a Hanna Barbara cartoon and i believe that warner brothers owns the rights to jabber jaw! I just thought that was fun 😊
I love your crackpot theories but I would have hoped you would realize that the baby drinks more milk than usual is likely bc he’s a meta human and needs more food to sustain its existence
@@ProcyonNite he doesn’t address anything he hand waves it away by saying “I don’t care if he’s part Atlantan” he should that’s a big reason yes he’s baby sized but his cells are denser than human cells and therefore need more sustenance to keep him alive. Same concept as the flash just existing is burning enough calories that a single bottle isn’t enough to survive off of
@@ProcyonNite The baby isn't completely human. His dad can talk to fish and sense when he's going to pee. One of his rides is a unicorn. His mom is a princess of one of the 7 kingdoms. You honestly want to sit/stand and type crap about how this child can't drink that much milk in a day. Next you want to talk about the Flash and his eating habits right? Or how Superman's secret identity still is a secret?
Jason actually explains how he ended up with writing credits: he went in with a proposal, and they told him to go for it. Watch some of his interviews about the movie, he does explain it.
The beginning REALLY feels like his sense of humor but then there's a tight butthole joke too. For better or worse, this is HIS iteration of Aquaman like how there's many different versions of Thor but one popular film one
We've seen in other media that Aquaman has needed several gallons in order to rehydrate. I think it's very feasible that an Atlantean baby, out of water, could drink all that in a day. There are many parents who have to stop their children from drinking more than they should. It's just that this kid can handle excess liquids
I gotta say I agree and was thinking the same thing when I first saw parts of this movie. The ending line was pretty over the top and just unexpected. I don't think it was a great move to be honest. This movie was very good I think but it did have a lot of those over the top moments like that ending line as well as "give me back my son" and all that. Sad to see this current DCEU end because it did have some fantastic casting choices and some good moments but ultimately didn't succeed in the way everyone hoped.
“Milk” in the fridge could be formula. Not everyone breast milks their kids. Especially, and I’m just assuming here mind you, merpeople babies here might have a different substance they must drink. They aren’t mammals. Maybe it’s formula from the sea? Like chicken of the sea… 😂 but for babies.
No mention of the long take on the final fight scene? Such a rarity in movies, it's awesome to see more of it done well. I hope more movies are able to do long takes instead of all the rapid quick cuts of the past. I have no issues with an overall "less good" fight when it's done in a long take to make it so much more cohesive and let the watcher better track what is going on in the fights.
Jason Momoa came up with the story plot about exploring the 7 kingdoms as a sequel during the shooting of the first film. Vulko is on life support from the events of the prequel comic Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom Special #1. Also test audiences are stupid.
There was a lot of things wrong with the DCEU. That didn’t stop me from loving a lot of moments and movies that we got. I get a lot of hate for enjoying a lot of these movies, but they really did some things great. I can’t wait to see what Erik’s next videos on the DCEU bring!
Weird to catch that shot of Jason Momoa on the motorbike and realise exactly where it is, up on the sand dunes at Bethells Beach in Auckland. I guess the dude really does love New Zealand.
It's crazy how bad the cgi is at times but it's a really funny movie tbh. Not what the serious/drama craving male audience want, but a tone that is needed to make Batman cooler
The reason Jason got credited is because he pitched the global warming idea. The whole global warming plotline he was talking about adding for long time before the movie came out should be the reason
DC really gotta switch up the parents names a little bit, Batman mother & Superman mother are both named Martha, Batman & Aquamans fathers are both named Thomas
Sorry, you are seeing things according to how you are as a human. Yes, atlanteans might need way more milk. They are SUPERHUMAN! You didn't catch anything brother. Apples to Oranges
Did you know Annabelle(From the conjuring universe) can be seen in the first 5mins of the movie Aquaman2? (It can be seen at the bottom left part when he walked in the house no joke check it out your self)
Talking about being a dad is not a bad thing and everything that you’re going through. That’s called life so don’t say sorry about that. The video was great to give us backdrop to why this movie had the certain things that were in it but this movie was horrible from start to finish.
Way too much thought into the breast milk, more stuff about comics less about the unnecessary details that most likely a prop maker didn’t give too much thought to
He went on a rant about the milk assuming its breast milk... right because every mother feeds through breast milk and no one uses formula😒🙄.. that whole aquaman drinking breast milk idea was goofy.
That’s not how baby formula is stored. It should only be refrigerated for up to 24 hours at most. Usually it’s prepared warm and immediately fed to the baby. I think that it is safe to assume that this is breast milk. Also, he is right in saying that body builders or people who lift have been known to drink breast milk for the gains.
About the story credits to Jason Momoa, wasn't he the one who suggested the ending for the movie to be a whole UN meeting? Perhaps thats where he got the credits.
A clever easter egg for the batman despute would be Jason Momoa playing with a Micheal Keaton Batman Figure, while Ben Afflecks Batman is fighting in the flashback.
I don't understand WHY the first Aquaman did so well, it still seems like just as bad as this one was, barely watchable, IMO. I am SHOCKED that movie made so much money, i am disappointed at anyone who thought it was worth paying for. This just seems like a bad sequel to a turd of a movie.
OK, understood. I talked about being a dad too much in this video. I promise I won't go into it this much in every video. I'm sorry.
Please understand that I'm very much absorbed in this phase, getting less than 4 hours of sleep per night, and this movie's weird editing and emphasis on Arthur's fatherhood really triggered my fixation with the minutiae of parenting, feeding cycles, diaper changing, etc. I aimed my laser focus on something the vast majority of you are not interested in, and even those of you who DO have kids, probably have blocked out of your memory, or you're happy to have left in the past.

no need to apologise, we are happy you are happy :)
Fatherhood is great! No need to apologize. 😊

I Found it super charming, actually. Seeing you in your "Extreme knowledge of babies" Phase is super fun
Erik Voss had a baby. Congratulations man. and you didn't even gain a pound. you are life goals
for gaining pound, the question is for his wife.
Funny joke.
Yessss plssss. Im really looking forward for that autopsy video. ❤️😩 Took you long enough
Its Aquaman Lost Box office.
Has anyone noticed the Frozen Throne reference?
Did anyone noticed that when Norm was fighting that tentacles robot it was the same fight Mr Incredible had in the beginning of The Incredibles.
ZSJL is the cannon film
MAYBE IM MISSING SOMETHING BUT IF ATLAN ISNT HIS DAD HOW IS THE SONS BLOOD OK 2 FREE THE BAD GUY?!
Atlan is his grandparent, not his parent. Atlanta explained that it's about DNA that's in the blood that's needed.
@@hedydoyful ATLAN ISN'T AQUMANS DAD NO?
I honestly really liked the movie. It was pretty enjoyable. It is better then some other superhero movies of last year
Idk one of the worst for dc comics is there best in movies is wild in my eyes 😂
22:09 it's a nod to "I'm Batman" ... I do not think the scene is referencing Marvel.
"I'm Batman" was whispered to a criminal on a Gotham rooftop. "I am Iron Man" was a mic drop moment in front of the media and the world. Aquaman's speech was, without a doubt, a reference to "I am Iron Man," mixed with a reference to T'Challa speaking in front of the UN.
@@NewRockstars Agreed
Arthur and Bruce could have bonded over having dads with the same name too
“Save Thomas”!!! Arthur
“Why did you say that name”!!! Bruce
If you can enjoy the 60's silver age tone of the movie, its not a bad watch
Fun fact: at 21:00 when aquaman throws his trident splintering Kordaxs he actually says “‘O kēia kou hopena”(Hawaiian) which translated to English means “this is your end” Coming from being a kanaka and knowing the language I love when it is shown to the world 🤗
What do you think the removed Batman cameo in this movie was going to be?
You said global broadcasting system..... it says galaxy broadcasting system right on the screen. Lower left, opposite of the GBS logo
When it was Affleck, probably something like what happened in the Flash, Batman needing Aquaman’s help with some criminal
When it was Keaton, probably Crisis on Infinite Earths
Mira poops on Aquaman's bed and Bruce is like "see that's why I don't wanna get married" directly into the camera
yeah fine flex your muscle scene was hilarious for me bruh
nice video
Jason Momoa thought he was gonna play Lobo while auditioning but was surprised to learn he will play Aquaman
he is playing lobo now
@@artobaron399 the project where he will play Lobo is unannounced yet
I actually really liked how well they were able to tie this to the previous Aquaman film. That’s probably because I watched the first film right before leaving to see it in the theater
It’s one of the most direct sequels to a film
@@mohzayd1234it’s cause they don’t have a universe anymore. What choice did they have?
The line when black manta or Cordax said "You're only half the man he was" shows that Cordax actually still loved and respected Atlan, his older brother
I thought it was a knock on him only being half atlantean.
A fun little detail, on Patrick wilson’s shirt when he eats the burger is a character named Jabber jaw! Which is a character from a Hanna Barbara cartoon and i believe that warner brothers owns the rights to jabber jaw! I just thought that was fun 😊
I love your crackpot theories but I would have hoped you would realize that the baby drinks more milk than usual is likely bc he’s a meta human and needs more food to sustain its existence
9:20
Right👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Plus he's only got the one child and hasn't been a daddy that long. Not every child is the same. Mine are big eaters.
Ok but, he addressed this. The baby is still baby sized. How would it fit in all thar milk?
@@ProcyonNite he doesn’t address anything he hand waves it away by saying “I don’t care if he’s part Atlantan” he should that’s a big reason yes he’s baby sized but his cells are denser than human cells and therefore need more sustenance to keep him alive.

He's a SUPER BABY!! lol. If Arthur was drinking it why would it be in baby bottles
One could argue so that the mom didn't know Dad was drinking it. But no, I agree with you, super baby!
I think they’re just trying to emphasize the juxtaposition but if anything it’s that his son is super powered and has a large appetite.

i think the batman cameo was gonna be a “what arthur said happened bs what actually happened” with bruce’s pov being what actually happened
I think the Bruce cameo would have been Affleck at the end. Where they meet the UN's leaders
“Milk” in the fridge could be formula. Not everyone breast milks their kids. Especially, and I’m just assuming here mind you, merpeople babies here might have a different substance they must drink. They aren’t mammals. Maybe it’s formula from the sea? Like chicken of the sea… 😂 but for babies.
Crazy how I just saw it and you uploaded this 🎉
Woah

rarity? it comes up in like every 3rd film made in the last 20 years
Anyone find it weird that after arthur and orm escape the prison orm is suddenly shaven wit a haircut ?? I saw that and i was like uhhhhh how
WB: 'Oh that happened in the reshoots- don't; worry about it'

8:34 its prob as simple as setting the tone that his beer isnt more important then his child.
How about Angelina Jolie’s “gimme back MYYYY son!” From Changeling.
There was a lot of things wrong with the DCEU. That didn’t stop me from loving a lot of moments and movies that we got. I get a lot of hate for enjoying a lot of these movies, but they really did some things great. I can’t wait to see what Erik’s next videos on the DCEU bring!
Fast X was better Jason Momoa movie
I just figured that she produces a lot cause as a species they mostly swim and he would need a lot to burn and build as a baby.
You didn't point out the Jabberjaw shirt that Orm was wearing at the end of the film.
Damn, I miss the fuh out of that show
He doesn't know what Jabberjaw is
I think he was more concerned with the breast milk.
Goodbye DCEU , atleast Aquaman saved his family
Weird to catch that shot of Jason Momoa on the motorbike and realise exactly where it is, up on the sand dunes at Bethells Beach in Auckland. I guess the dude really does love New Zealand.
Made me think of Lobo
yeah, he’s here atm filming for of all things the minecraft movie lmaoo
Spotted that too.
@@magdalena_dewinter really? That’s awesome
Care to know the fact that I scratch my butt crack and sniff my fingers afterwards? Thank you.
It was actually a good film
I agree. Most of the scenes made sense.
I can't see how anyone could believe that.
I actually had a great time with this movie
didnt even watch the movie
Same
Keep in mind that Junior is 75% Atlantean. Maybe he needs to consume that much from the calcium cannons.
Its funny cause DC is doing great with The Batman and Joker, just not the DCEU
There's alot of milk because the baby is more Atlantian than human because Atlantian need to drink and eat alot
It's crazy how bad the cgi is at times but it's a really funny movie tbh. Not what the serious/drama craving male audience want, but a tone that is needed to make Batman cooler

My wife is pregnant and going to b feed
Sorry, you are seeing things according to how you are as a human. Yes, atlanteans might need way more milk. They are SUPERHUMAN! You didn't catch anything brother. Apples to Oranges
Has he had a kid? He never mentioned it.

10:30 I thought the ice cleaving was foreshadowing the plot of the movie: Global warming
Actually was the worst hero movie ive seen. In a while seemed rushed seemed like a lost project… but the action was cool
Pass.
This movie wasnt good to me at all and the CGI was horrible., esp when they were talking underwater and had those close ups
Lol as a parent of children who were on breastmilk I can attest our fridge and freezer was always full of breastmilk
Him saying “im aqua man” is the biggest F U
Is it Aquaman would be like Thor in MCU ?? Flopped their last movie ??
I’m glad you made this video because I did not care to watch this movie lol
I enjoyed the movie but that ending "I am Aquaman" got under my skin way more than it should have
Same like are they trying to replicate the “I am Iron man” scene if so it’s very disrespectful and disturbing
Talking about being a dad is not a bad thing and everything that you’re going through. That’s called life so don’t say sorry about that. The video was great to give us backdrop to why this movie had the certain things that were in it but this movie was horrible from start to finish.
I had zero interest and investment into watching this movie. Not just Amber being in it.
Way too much thought into the breast milk, more stuff about comics less about the unnecessary details that most likely a prop maker didn’t give too much thought to
congrats on the birth of your child
thank you for this because I was never going to watch this movie. lol
I kinda liked this until you made the Snyder remark. Dbag remark
Finally the end of DEU
Your not the first person to make a video of the whole dceu but can't wait to see it and have a crew make a list like you did with marvel phase 4
Not a fan of this movie 😂
This is why we have to appreciate James Wan for reading comics before doing the movie and the movie was great and comic accurate to some degree.
My top 3 laughs; 1. Mamoa's random cute scrunchies with slicked back buns. 2. Mira having almost exactly 5 lines. And 3. The cgi
Everything up to like 9:50 was not in the version of the movie that I saw
He went on a rant about the milk assuming its breast milk... right because every mother feeds through breast milk and no one uses formula😒🙄.. that whole aquaman drinking breast milk idea was goofy.

Wouldn’t the baby be 3/4 Atlantan bcus of Mera too?
I love the newly developed parenting knowledge Eric is bringing to his analysis now!
It was confirmed from the test screenings that they originally did kill baby Arthur.
Planet of the Vampires was a film by Mario Bava and didnt have anything to do with ray harryhausen
Just saw the movie online, and came to UA-cam for a review, and here i am. Weird Coincidence
Thanks for the reminder that I can "find it" in HD now! Just started it and it's hilarious
It's almost like the movie just came out on digital, whooaoaoaa... 😲
genuinely one of the worst movies ive watched in a while
About the story credits to Jason Momoa, wasn't he the one who suggested the ending for the movie to be a whole UN meeting? Perhaps thats where he got the credits.
what with the milk fetish thing? u went back to it twice and it's completely odd
Nobody saw this movie and that’s why I took them a month for them to make a video on it
Still the highest grossing DC movie of last year, but not by a longshot at making more than under $500 million
He didn’t cover it because he became a dad Oh that’s why. Also UA-cam needs to fix the bot problem
I was waiting for this video!
Wait a damn minute.... did you just cheer for Mera being in the movie!??? BRUH!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL F!??? HOW COULD YOU!!!???
Did anyone here notice that Aquaman literally killed a deep diver by robbing his suit to suffocate the king fish.
shouldn't it have been George Clooney batman since the end of the flash he was there?
Legit forgot this movie exists
I cannot believe it took you this long to make this video. New Rockstars shame on you - Black Manta.
They waited til people could see it on digital since it's not an A list film
Dceu sucked cuz it was all over the place
I thought this was a decent movie ❤😂
Mira shows up to save aquaman in every fight he is about to lose.
And has about 5 lines the whole time. You reap what you sow...
🎉
I feel that Jason Momoa fits better as Lobo than Aquaman's comic book personality. Could just be me😅
Let’s gooo!!!!!
A clever easter egg for the batman despute would be Jason Momoa playing with a Micheal Keaton Batman Figure, while Ben Afflecks Batman is fighting in the flashback.
Omg Eric you've done such a good job as a dad. 💖 My kids dad did not know even half the knowledge you've dropped the first 10 mins of this lol.
12:30 *Galaxy Broadcasting system, not global
I don't understand WHY the first Aquaman did so well, it still seems like just as bad as this one was, barely watchable, IMO. I am SHOCKED that movie made so much money, i am disappointed at anyone who thought it was worth paying for. This just seems like a bad sequel to a turd of a movie.
