My problem is that the The Atlanteans are so old that the kingdom split up when the Sahara was still underwater. That was 7 million years ago. Which means the Atlanteans have been ****ing around doing jack-all for 7x the entire known history of anything even close to related to humans on land, already had unlimited energy, and just... did nothing with it.

That's kinda just how it is. The Kryptonians, Amazons, Lanterns, all around since prehistory yet never did anything. It's a fundamental problem with the setting and there's not really anything to explain it satisfyingly. Same deal with things like Wakanda. You're just going to have to accept "They didn't want to mingle with inferior people" as the explanation.

I get the Kryptonians and Lanterns don't bother, they are on different ends of the galaxy. I guess if we go comics route the Lanterns should be more present on Earth since Earth is like, the center of the DC universe and the Amazons at least have a "we've segregated ourselves from the humans because we tried it and they're the worst".

But the Atlantian idea is "we've had a utopia since even monkeys weren't developed yet" but they stay there just cause and politely watch the humans wreck their ecosystem.

I'm maybe overthinking it a little bit, but there shouldn't have been that dumb comment about how atlantians first setteld in the Sahara.
