If a writer could manage to make Orin an Adventurer and a King at time same time without the series getting all lopsided then I'd be all about it but...that never seems to happen. --Previous Message-- : Sure. If I hung in there during the Larsen era : (Cringe) I'd buy it. I'm not saying I'd only : be interested if Artie was King, just that : it adds more demension. The only limitations : is the lack of imagination of the writer. : : --Previous Message-- : Would buy AQ as just the Atlantean hero and : not King? : : --Previous Message-- : I wouldn't say I'm hooked on the notion, but : it does have story potential and it's not a : hinderance IMO. He works best being king and : adventerur at the same time. Protecting : Atlantis and defending his adoptive surface : world. It's a hard line to straddle and : that's what intrigues me. : : --Previous Message-- : I can tolerate him being king but don't see : how it's essential to his character. Mostly : what I hate is the 'king' cliche and how : fans (no one on this board thankfully) are : so hopelessly hooked (oops, another AQ pun ) : on the notion of AQ HAVING to be king. : : --Previous Message-- : I like Aquaman as king. But he has to many : roles. He's a hero, a king, and the : protector of the secrect sea! I think he can : do all three as long as they make him stand : out as a hero. That's his best quality. He's : a a great hero, so being a protector and : leader (or king) should come natural. : : --Previous Message-- : I do. Can't help it. I think it makes him to : much like Namor, creating this cliche among : underwater comic characters, and ultimately : taking attention away from the essence of : the character. I'd much prefer if AQ was : just the defender of Atlantis and if it were : absolutely essential for AQ to be king then : I'd rather see him as a elected king. : : --Previous Message-- : I like Aquaman when he's Aquaman, not Connan : underwater. The only reason I get the issues : when they come out is to see the dweller. : The original Curry will be back soon. This : is just a old case of if it isn't broke : don't fix it. : : --Previous Message-- : --Previous Message-- : : Arthur was replaced because : "supposedly" once he became King : then his story is over. I say hogwash. : : I agree, it's definately hogwash. Especially : considering he's been a king for most of his : existence. : : : I say : there was so much more to lose. I think A.) : Get Mera and Arthur back together again. B.) : Have Atlantis rebuilt and C.) Give him an : Heir. Aquaman works so much better when he's : protecting not only his people, but his : family. : : Agreed again. though i am enjoying the : title, and what's going on with Orin at the : moment, when he does return these things : should happen. Especially the heir part. : Look at the current Justice title, Aquaman : and his son are both playing huge parts. His : sons been taken and we all know that : Aquaman's going to stop at nothing to get : him back. : : Jurgens run is a great example of Aquaman : still being a King, having his family : intact, and still telling great stories. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
