DC really had a chance to make Aquaman like their own “Blackpanther” for Samoans. They could’ve added so much culture in that movie. But instead they decided to make one of the whitest movies possible.
How tho? Atlantis is underwater Greece/Rome. Couldn’t get more white. Black Mantra couldn’t exist and that’s like the one interesting villain the comic had. Black Panther was always based in an African nation. It was always black. They didn’t just hire a minority to play the role.
