But he literally attacked Arthur saying he had planned to meet and kill him cause he was an evil pirate. Hi, im Evil McVillain! Thats literally Black Mantas character from the comics. Hes evil and petty for the sake of it. No tragic backstory. Dude is just an asshole. When Aquaman died in the comics, Manta stopped being a bad guy and had a normal life. He went back to being a villain once Aquaman returned. Its honestly refreshing. Not every villain needs complex motives. It's weird because they spend a chunk of the movie giving him a 'tragic' style backstory. We see him bonding with his father. We see the knife being passed down. We see his father dying and the guy begging for help. We see him grieving his father. We see him not caring about the money when he's hired to kill Aquaman. He is given the plot of a tragic villain despite not even really being a major antagonist and not being a sympathetic character anyway. It's weird. He's a pretty terrible villain in every single aspect and they're gonna have a tough time salvaging that in the sequel. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:914951769] in Aquaman mo...
