It\u2019s not like he was all that good in Justice League<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I may be a bit biased because even as a little boy I didn\u2019t like The Flash<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen anything else that Miller has appeared in. If I have, since I don\u2019t recall Miller, his roles must not have been all that large or his acting compelling enough for me to remember him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

There are some actors, who make an impression on the screen even in minor roles. These are the folks you watch during the movie, then you watch the end credits for the actor\u2019s name, then you IMDB their name to find out what else they\u2019ve been in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

After that, you rent the other movies to see if their acting holds up. If they turn in compelling performances in other things, you\u2019ll keep an eye out for them and spend your money to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Jason Mamoa, for example. I liked him way back in Stargate Atlantis<\/em>. I know there are people who don\u2019t care for him, but I\u2019m expressing my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t sure that he\u2019d be able to pull off Aquaman<\/em>. Lets face it, Aquaman was always a generic Lilly white, blond, blue eyed dude. I remember thinking\u2026 Mamoa as Aquaman???? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Now I can\u2019t think of any version of Aquaman except Mamoa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

His portrayal is wonderful and he\u2019s brought a humanity to Aquaman that has enriched the character for me personally. Aquaman in the comics always felt arrogant and elitist. He wasn\u2019t really all that likable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Mamoa\u2019s rendition is generally humble with a touch of arrogance. He\u2019s got a sense of humor and playfulness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I really like the Polynesian cultural elements. They make so much sense in context of the character. Who better to protect the sea, than someone with a deep cultural connection to it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I was honestly hoping for something better, more interesting, for The Flash<\/em>. Instead what we got in Justice League<\/em> was a neurotic selfish child. I suppose we got too much of Ezra Miller\u2019s real personality translated into the character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Given all the negative publicity and reporting surrounding Ezra Miller. I\u2019m honestly hoping that the folks controlling the DC movie franchise just flush The Flash entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Ezra Miller is largely forgettable and perhaps should be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of other super interesting characters in the DC universe. Perhaps we\u2019d be better off with one of them stepping into the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
