Save Aquaman TV series!

[laudre]

Ok! This time, I'm very pissed that Aquaman TV has been rejected by CW because of 7th Heaven, the new 11th season. :170:

Well, that sucks. I don't know if I'd've been able to watch the show any more than I could continue to watch Smallville (I can only tolerate so many insults to my intelligence -- and that tolerance is pretty high; I watched the sixth season of Highlander), but I'm always supportive of more genre TV, and Aquaman is one of my favorite of the second-tier supers. He's rather better than the Superfriends portrayal would have you think -- in fact, he was pretty damned hardcore for awhile -- but I no longer trust the people who made a train wreck of Birds of Prey and made Smallville completely unwatchable even with the presence of James Marsden.

Ehh. I'd like to see it be picked up, but I don't know if I'd watch it. Here's hoping.

It would have just been another lame ass O.C superhero series with crappy failed-the-audition O.C actors.

Plus Aquaman's story is far better when told when he's already king of Atlantis, a series based on his exile from Atlantis for sinking it would be excellent and a true way to go forward, not look back at how a young teenager (who can't act) learned to talk to fish.

What the hell happened to that Starman series they were trying to do?

7th Heaven is like watching an episode of O.C. The drama never ends and it's fillerish. How the hell does it become renewed.

I haven't seen Smallville, but from what I heard, I heard it's pretty bad. I could care less for Aquaman, because I haven't really learned about him.
Otherwise, sure.

Ignore people who doesn't like Smallville. You need to watch season 1 and make your own judge that you like or not. That's up to you.

I could see myself watching the Starman series if James Robinson were given complete and total control over it.

When was that happened? It never mentioned everywhere in this board and Rangerboard.

Small spoilers:

Has too much relationship drama in it and its not Lois til season 4. Plus Lex is his friend at the begining of the series. Just for the heads up. It was good for me at first but I just didn't get in to it. But I did like the outcast not so cool with the Jocks kids as a superhero.

Well, Lois really shouldn't even be in the series considering in most (if not all) continuities she never met Clark until he moves to Metropolis. Not saying I don't like Lois in Smallville, she's actually made it better to watch. Also I seem to recall early Superboy stories where Lex starts out as Clark/Superboy's friend as well.

Ah yes, Superboy, that show was half the length of Smallville, and it's far superior

In pre-Crisis Superman continuity (and I use the term "continuity" loosely -- the mess of it is part of why they decided to do "Crisis on Infinite Earths" in the first place), Lex and Clark were friends in Smallville, when they were both young and Clark was Superboy. Lex lost his hair in a lab accident he blamed on Superboy, which is the source for his long-standing hatred of him.

But then, pre-Crisis Lex was always just a mad scientist, not the immensely successful businessman of post-Crisis and Smallville continuities.

So putting Lex in there, in and of itself, isn't a bad thing; I just, eventually, could no longer credit the idea that all of these people -- most especially Lex -- wouldn't know instantly that Clark was Superman.
