There is a dispute over which version of the poster is more appropriate for the article this one or this one?TriiipleThreat (talk) 17:04, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I would say the choice is completely arbitrary purely in terms of the image itself, but at 720×897 pixels the larger one violates WP:IMAGERES. Betty Logan (talk) 23:48, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I would say the former since it is more representative of the titular character. In short, it is better "visual identification" for the topic to actually see the main character and the underwater setting. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 11:57, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Please correct the cast section where you say the fisherman king and his family are motion capture, James already said it was make up (https://comicbook.com/dc/2018/07/13/aquaman-fishermen-practical-effects/) you can see it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ1YIS4s0Mw?t=66) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.142.212.85 (talk) 01:43, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Trident.
The spear used by Aquaman's mother is described as a "trident", "trident" means literally "three teeth", this spear, however, has five tines so should be called a "quindent".213.205.242.92 (talk) 19:48, 14 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Slate does have a pre-release bit about this. Before the SMOFs start in on this, we (Wikipedia) generally follow what the reliable sources say.


 * I haven't seen this film (honestly, not my kind of gig), but my own random sampling of the sources currently used doesn't seem to mention either weapon. All I have is the casual uncertainty of the Slate piece. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 21:05, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

When Aquaman challenges his brother he holds a five pointed spear, the brother says, "I see that you have our mother's TRIDENT", one of several times it is referred to as such. I have actually seen the film.213.205.242.12 (talk) 19:22, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Aquaman WB-Studio
Den Film gibt es in verschiedenen Grössen je nach Leinwand. Der Film ist genau 2 Stunden 23 Minuten, 143 Minuten, oder 8580 Sekunden lang. Wenn der Film 8580 Sekunden auf einer Leinwand zirka 13 Meter mal 6 Meter gesehen wird, sieht der Kinofilmschauer alle Details des Filmes in der Grösse. Der Film hat bis zu 100.000 Filmdetails auf einer Kinoleinwand 13x6 Meter in der physikalischen Zeit von 8580 Sekunden (2h23min). Dieses Kinoleinwandformat ist etwas grosser als das eines Privaten Homekino (4/8K HD HDMI). Den Film sollte jemand der Hollywoodkinofilme an einem Gymnasium, Fachhochschule, Technische Fachhochschule, Technische Hochschule, Hochschule/Univesität studiert, mindestens 100 Mal sehen (verschiedene Grössen und verschiedene Qualität/Quantität). Der Film ist vielleicht ein Kinofilm-Meilenstein wie der Kinofilm von James Cameron und John Landau Avatar in den zwei Jahren 2009/2010 (erste zehn Tage weltweit mehr als 1 Milliarde US-Dollar und insgesamt weltweit 2,7 Milliarden US-Dollar). 192.121.232.253 (talk) 13:34, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Box Office Collection
Aquaman has officially grossed $345.8 million worldwide as per Comicbook.com kindly change the box office gross to $345.8 million for more info visit ‘Aquaman’ Has Already Made over $345 Million at Worldwide Box Office 'Aquaman' Takes $345 Million At Worldwide Box Office (Hunney Mallick (talk) 07:51, 22 December 2018 (UTC))

Box office
Man, the movie's box office status is $300 million, not $266 million Mighty Clasher (talk) 16:23, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Review summary up top
Both review aggregators (RT and Metacritic) indicate a purely mixed reception (64% and 55), as well as the review roundups in the sourced articles up top. Think it’s important to note the specifics of what was praised/criticized, as well as (but not just simply) put “mixed reviews from critics”, and leave the sources in lede. Thoughts/concerns? TropicAces (talk) 04:01, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * As per WP:MOS and WP:LEDE, we should summarize the content of the article as well. And as it stands, the lede does not do that. We need to indicate the mixed reception. Also, sources are not needed in the lede for something like that.- R9tgokunks   ⭕  00:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Well there are three positive, one mixed and two negative reviews in the body, not to mention four review roundups that indicated a purely “mixed” reception (until they were removed by users). The edit summaries indicate personal bias against saying mixed (“just another example of bias and hate against DC”) as opposed to concrete discussion/defense, so think it’s more than fair to label “mixed reviews” up top (cc R9tgokunks). - TropicAces (talk) 03:10, 11 January 2019 (UTC)tropicAces

Requested change
I just saw the film earlier this evening and I was reading the article when I noticed three things that are incorrect, and should be updated. The errors exist in the following paragraph, and the first sentence of the paragraph after that.

''Orm visits Arthur in captivity and announces that Atlanna was executed for the crime of having a half-breed son, blaming Arthur and the surface for her death. He offers Arthur an opportunity to leave forever, but Arthur instead challenges him to a duel in a ring of underwater lava. Orm gains the upper hand and nearly kills Arthur before Mera rescues him. Together, Arthur and Mera journey to the Sahara desert where the trident was forged and unlock a holographic message that leads them to Sicily, Italy, where they retrieve the trident's coordinates. Meanwhile, Orm provides David with a prototype Atlantean battle suit to kill Arthur, imprisons Vulko upon learning of his betrayal, and coerces the remaining kingdoms of Atlantis to pledge their allegiance to him and his campaign against the surface.

After modifying Orm's technology, a fully armored David rechristens himself as Black Manta and ambushes Arthur and Mera in Sicily, injuring Arthur before being thrown off a cliff to his apparent death.''

I'm not requesting to change the whole thing. Just a couple of words in a few sentences. The changes (in bold) I propose or request are:

Orm has Arthur brought before him in chains, and announces Atlanna was executed for the crime of having a half-breed son, blaming Arthur and the surface for her death. He offers Arthur an opportunity to leave forever, but Arthur instead challenges him to a duel in a ring of underwater lava. Orm gains the upper hand and nearly kills Arthur before Mera rescues him. Together, Arthur and Mera journey to the Sahara desert where the trident was forged and unlock a holographic message that leads them to Sicily, Italy, where they retrieve the trident's coordinates. Meanwhile, Orm provides David with a prototype Atlantean weapon to kill Arthur, imprisons Vulko upon learning of his betrayal, and coerces the remaining kingdoms of Atlantis to pledge their allegiance to him and his campaign against the surface.

After modifying Orm's prototype weapon into a battle suit, David rechristens himself as Black Manta and ambushes Arthur and Mera in Sicily, injuring Arthur before being thrown off a cliff to his apparent death.

As you can see, the changes are minor, but reflect what actually happened in the film. I would've made these minor changes myself, but the page is semi-protected. Aidensdaddy2k9 (talk) 04:13, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Trivia
The following could be included in the main Wikipage:-

From 2004 to 2009 Jason Momoa worked in the science fiction tv series Stargate Atlantis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.244.210.117 (talk) 07:12, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Why? This article is about the Aquaman movie, not Stargate:Atlantis. It's not even a page about Jason Momoa, except insofar as he is related to the movie. Wikipedia pages are not for listing indiscriminate trivia. --Khajidha (talk) 14:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
