Atlantis Is Boring: Difference between revisions

 

== Comic Books ==

** In Aquaman's case, they keep on trying to avert this, but it never takes. Their first big attempt in one of his more recent series was making Aquaman into an underwater retread of the King Arthur story. This was followed by having San Diego turn into an underwater city and all of the inhabitants turned into merpeople so that Aquaman could fight crime. "Sub Diego" proved somewhat popular and managed to last until the book was reworked to star a new Aquaman.

** Before Sub Diego, the later issues of Aquaman's previous title rather desperately tried to provide Aquaman with crime to fight by suddenly giving Poseidonis (Atlantis's capital city) dark alleys, [[Fantastic Racism|racial prejudice]], a [[Fantastic Drug|drug problem (hallucinogenic fish)]] and a humanoid-shark mob boss. The only part of this that rung even vaguely true to the city's portrayal up til then was the racial prejudice (since these were the same people who left young Arthur to die because he had ''blond hair'').
