OK, understood. I talked about being a dad too much in this video. I promise I won't go into it this much in every video. I'm sorry.
Please understand that I'm very much absorbed in this phase, getting less than 4 hours of sleep per night, and this movie's weird editing and emphasis on Arthur's fatherhood really triggered my fixation with the minutiae of parenting, feeding cycles, diaper changing, etc. I aimed my laser focus on something the vast majority of you are not interested in, and even those of you who DO have kids, probably have blocked out of your memory, or you're happy to have left in the past. So, while fatherhood is now an inseparable part of my worldview, I have no plans on making this my "brand" on KZhead.
no need to apologise, we are happy you are happy :)
Fatherhood is great! No need to apologize. 😊
I actually loved this, I loved how much you were willing talk about your boy, don't apologize I've been watching this channel for about 8 years now and this was one of my favorite videos just because you shown a different view that I would never have ever saw watching this movie. So I'd welcome you talking more about your experience with being a parent
I Found it super charming, actually. Seeing you in your "Extreme knowledge of babies" Phase is super fun
Erik Voss had a baby. Congratulations man. and you didn't even gain a pound. you are life goals
for gaining pound, the question is for his wife.
Funny joke.
Fun fact: at 21:00 when aquaman throws his trident splintering Kordaxs he actually says “‘O kēia kou hopena”(Hawaiian) which translated to English means “this is your end” Coming from being a kanaka and knowing the language I love when it is shown to the world 🤗
The line when black manta or Cordax said "You're only half the man he was" shows that Cordax actually still loved and respected Atlan, his older brother
I thought it was a knock on him only being half atlantean.
Arthur and Bruce could have bonded over having dads with the same name too
Jason Momoa thought he was gonna play Lobo while auditioning but was surprised to learn he will play Aquaman
he is playing lobo now
@@artobaron399 the project where he will play Lobo is unannounced yet
I actually really liked how well they were able to tie this to the previous Aquaman film. That’s probably because I watched the first film right before leaving to see it in the theater
It’s one of the most direct sequels to a film
@@mohzayd1234it’s cause they don’t have a universe anymore. What choice did they have?
If you can enjoy the 60's silver age tone of the movie, its not a bad watch
Jason actually explains how he ended up with writing credits: he went in with a proposal, and they told him to go for it. Watch some of his interviews about the movie, he does explain it.
The beginning REALLY feels like his sense of humor but then there's a tight butthole joke too. For better or worse, this is HIS iteration of Aquaman like how there's many different versions of Thor but one popular film one
I think they’re just trying to emphasize the juxtaposition but if anything it’s that his son is super powered and has a large appetite.
A fun little detail, on Patrick wilson’s shirt when he eats the burger is a character named Jabber jaw! Which is a character from a Hanna Barbara cartoon and i believe that warner brothers owns the rights to jabber jaw! I just thought that was fun 😊
i think the batman cameo was gonna be a “what arthur said happened bs what actually happened” with bruce’s pov being what actually happened
We've seen in other media that Aquaman has needed several gallons in order to rehydrate. I think it's very feasible that an Atlantean baby, out of water, could drink all that in a day. There are many parents who have to stop their children from drinking more than they should. It's just that this kid can handle excess liquids
My parents would give me diluted juice since I'd go craaazy for "goose" lol
@@nailinthefashion Apple water is a massive help for parents.
Crazy how I just saw it and you uploaded this 🎉
Woah
I gotta say I agree and was thinking the same thing when I first saw parts of this movie. The ending line was pretty over the top and just unexpected. I don't think it was a great move to be honest. This movie was very good I think but it did have a lot of those over the top moments like that ending line as well as "give me back my son" and all that. Sad to see this current DCEU end because it did have some fantastic casting choices and some good moments but ultimately didn't succeed in the way everyone hoped.
I love your crackpot theories but I would have hoped you would realize that the baby drinks more milk than usual is likely bc he’s a meta human and needs more food to sustain its existence
9:20
Right👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Plus he's only got the one child and hasn't been a daddy that long. Not every child is the same. Mine are big eaters.
Ok but, he addressed this. The baby is still baby sized. How would it fit in all thar milk?
@@ProcyonNite he doesn’t address anything he hand waves it away by saying “I don’t care if he’s part Atlantan” he should that’s a big reason yes he’s baby sized but his cells are denser than human cells and therefore need more sustenance to keep him alive. Same concept as the flash just existing is burning enough calories that a single bottle isn’t enough to survive off of
@@ProcyonNite The baby isn't completely human. His dad can talk to fish and sense when he's going to pee. One of his rides is a unicorn. His mom is a princess of one of the 7 kingdoms. You honestly want to sit/stand and type crap about how this child can't drink that much milk in a day. Next you want to talk about the Flash and his eating habits right? Or how Superman's secret identity still is a secret?
8:34 its prob as simple as setting the tone that his beer isnt more important then his child.
Jason Momoa came up with the story plot about exploring the 7 kingdoms as a sequel during the shooting of the first film. Vulko is on life support from the events of the prequel comic Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom Special #1. Also test audiences are stupid.
Weird to catch that shot of Jason Momoa on the motorbike and realise exactly where it is, up on the sand dunes at Bethells Beach in Auckland. I guess the dude really does love New Zealand.
Made me think of Lobo
yeah, he’s here atm filming for of all things the minecraft movie lmaoo
Spotted that too.
@@magdalena_dewinter really? That’s awesome
What do you think the removed Batman cameo in this movie was going to be?
You said global broadcasting system..... it says galaxy broadcasting system right on the screen. Lower left, opposite of the GBS logo
When it was Affleck, probably something like what happened in the Flash, Batman needing Aquaman’s help with some criminal When it was Keaton, probably Crisis on Infinite Earths
Mira poops on Aquaman's bed and Bruce is like "see that's why I don't wanna get married" directly into the camera
yeah fine flex your muscle scene was hilarious for me bruh
nice video
He's a SUPER BABY!! lol. If Arthur was drinking it why would it be in baby bottles
One could argue so that the mom didn't know Dad was drinking it. But no, I agree with you, super baby!
No mention of the long take on the final fight scene? Such a rarity in movies, it's awesome to see more of it done well. I hope more movies are able to do long takes instead of all the rapid quick cuts of the past. I have no issues with an overall "less good" fight when it's done in a long take to make it so much more cohesive and let the watcher better track what is going on in the fights.
rarity? it comes up in like every 3rd film made in the last 20 years
I was waiting for this video!
love ya guys
I actually had a great time with this movie
You didn't point out the Jabberjaw shirt that Orm was wearing at the end of the film.
Damn, I miss the fuh out of that show
He doesn't know what Jabberjaw is
I think he was more concerned with the breast milk.
DC really gotta switch up the parents names a little bit, Batman mother & Superman mother are both named Martha, Batman & Aquamans fathers are both named Thomas
Good video
Goodbye DCEU , atleast Aquaman saved his family
There was a lot of things wrong with the DCEU. That didn’t stop me from loving a lot of moments and movies that we got. I get a lot of hate for enjoying a lot of these movies, but they really did some things great. I can’t wait to see what Erik’s next videos on the DCEU bring!
Keep in mind that Junior is 75% Atlantean. Maybe he needs to consume that much from the calcium cannons.
“Milk” in the fridge could be formula. Not everyone breast milks their kids. Especially, and I’m just assuming here mind you, merpeople babies here might have a different substance they must drink. They aren’t mammals. Maybe it’s formula from the sea? Like chicken of the sea… 😂 but for babies.
Let’s gooo!!!!!
It's crazy how bad the cgi is at times but it's a really funny movie tbh. Not what the serious/drama craving male audience want, but a tone that is needed to make Batman cooler
How about Angelina Jolie’s “gimme back MYYYY son!” From Changeling.
Congratulations on your little Rockstar!
Anyone find it weird that after arthur and orm escape the prison orm is suddenly shaven wit a haircut ?? I saw that and i was like uhhhhh how
WB: 'Oh that happened in the reshoots- don't; worry about it'
Have a wonderful day 😅
Yessss plssss. Im really looking forward for that autopsy video. ❤️😩 Took you long enough
My top 3 laughs; 1. Mamoa's random cute scrunchies with slicked back buns. 2. Mira having almost exactly 5 lines. And 3. The cgi
Literally just watched this on "Lexvonta yesterday. Damn you guys are quick. 👏
I just figured that she produces a lot cause as a species they mostly swim and he would need a lot to burn and build as a baby.
This is why we have to appreciate James Wan for reading comics before doing the movie and the movie was great and comic accurate to some degree.
Your not the first person to make a video of the whole dceu but can't wait to see it and have a crew make a list like you did with marvel phase 4
10:30 I thought the ice cleaving was foreshadowing the plot of the movie: Global warming
Huh, didn't think there would be a breakdown of the film! Great to see it!
This is awesome! I've also just watched it like a week or so ago.
There's alot of milk because the baby is more Atlantian than human because Atlantian need to drink and eat alot
It was actually a good film
I agree. Most of the scenes made sense.
I can't see how anyone could believe that.
Omg Eric you've done such a good job as a dad. 💖 My kids dad did not know even half the knowledge you've dropped the first 10 mins of this lol.
Congrats again on your baby Erik 😊
21:42 I couldn't help think of Stargate Atlantis at the end when the Atlantis ship was rising.
Jason was in that. Alternate reality!
Pass.
Lol as a parent of children who were on breastmilk I can attest our fridge and freezer was always full of breastmilk
I love the newly developed parenting knowledge Eric is bringing to his analysis now!
what’s up with the Jason Mamoa slander 💀
Aww Erik now has Dad input on the breakdowns
Everything up to like 9:50 was not in the version of the movie that I saw
DC..... The poor mans Marvel
I CANNOT BELIEVE No one had mention @ 17:40 the Loki reference about how if Orm was patient he could have ruled their kingdom instead of his brother, Thor (cough) opps... I mean Arthur.
About the story credits to Jason Momoa, wasn't he the one who suggested the ending for the movie to be a whole UN meeting? Perhaps thats where he got the credits.
Danny Devito poops in a bed and it’s funny
Its funny cause DC is doing great with The Batman and Joker, just not the DCEU
Loving the coverage. Even DC coverage. Cover Hazbin Hotel
cool
A clever easter egg for the batman despute would be Jason Momoa playing with a Micheal Keaton Batman Figure, while Ben Afflecks Batman is fighting in the flashback.
Mira shows up to save aquaman in every fight he is about to lose.
And has about 5 lines the whole time. You reap what you sow...
The milk lol fing goodness Eric lol
I forgot about aquaman😩 I still have to see this
The reason Jason got credited is because he pitched the global warming idea. The whole global warming plotline he was talking about adding for long time before the movie came out should be the reason
When did it come out?
Christmas
Aquaman also calls his brother Orm Loki lol
Congrats on your new born... Wishing him all the best in life.
Just saw the movie online, and came to KZhead for a review, and here i am. Weird Coincidence
Thanks for the reminder that I can "find it" in HD now! Just started it and it's hilarious
It's almost like the movie just came out on digital, whooaoaoaa... 😲
It was confirmed from the test screenings that they originally did kill baby Arthur.
man this movie was fire🔥🔥
12:30 *Galaxy Broadcasting system, not global
15:20 not necessarily the passengers, but maybe the ones who get in the way of the loose train?
you can see batman on the glass swinging
Its Aquaman Lost Box office.
didnt even watch the movie
"Prep time" in Batman's case is another way of saying "Plot Armor"
thank you for this because I was never going to watch this movie. lol
He went on a rant about the milk assuming its breast milk... right because every mother feeds through breast milk and no one uses formula😒🙄.. that whole aquaman drinking breast milk idea was goofy.
That’s not how baby formula is stored. It should only be refrigerated for up to 24 hours at most. Usually it’s prepared warm and immediately fed to the baby. I think that it is safe to assume that this is breast milk. Also, he is right in saying that body builders or people who lift have been known to drink breast milk for the gains.
Did anyone noticed that when Norm was fighting that tentacles robot it was the same fight Mr Incredible had in the beginning of The Incredibles.
Fast X was better Jason Momoa movie
Ok we get it.. you've had a kid for 2 weeks... You've now got endless parenting knowledge. 😂
Please do a video of how black manta could survive and come back in the new DCEU
Defo a first timer!!!! Hahahaha
I’m glad you covered this because I kind of wanted to know what it was about but I refused to go see it because Amber is in it
Thought you had a Helix mattress? lol
🎉
The seven kingdom of the sea got so much potential hope it got its second chance under James Gunn, weol at least Manta suit is great
I liked it
😊
Did anyone here notice that Aquaman literally killed a deep diver by robbing his suit to suffocate the king fish.
This movie was AWESOME in theaters!!! We saw it twice in IMAX-3D! 💯👏🏻👏👏🏾
Has anyone noticed the Frozen Throne reference?
ZSJL is the cannon film
Happy I seen The Iron Claw over this
