That implied that they were the bravest, most fierce of the creatures at his command, but I do sort of hate the thought of Aquaman NOT being able to control them. So, yeah, this part doesn't really bother me, him having to put forth a bit more effort, but when he faces the new Marine Marauder, I do hate that he can't keep the sharks from devouring the innocents and is forced to run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-84386470664389599572008-04-08T16:37:00.000-04:002008-04-08T16:37:00.000-04:00i understand what you mean, but i think i like the...i understand what you mean, but i think i like the idea of some sea creatures being more independent than others.<BR/><BR/>people love their (respective) God(s), but people "obey" them differently, on different ways. so the idea of sharks being super super aggressive, requiring a bit more "persuasion" on Arthur's part i think is neat. <BR/><BR/>all Aquaman has to do to command some flounders is to ask, they're easy.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-55856904344423301522008-04-08T16:27:00.000-04:002008-04-08T16:27:00.000-04:00I know how you feel Rob, despite the darkness of t...I know how you feel Rob, despite the darkness of this series, it is still excellently written. There certainly is room for MORE in the story, but it is still one of the best Aqua-runs I've read. I love how Aquaman deals with Geist in this issue, and they really humanize the character, brining him past the usual mad scientist archetype. His reactions to the suffering of the Sub Diegoians is fairly moving.<BR/><BR/>I for one don't care for the whole "fighting 100 million years of evolution" bit, mostly because it implies (as we see in later issues) that Aquaman sometimes can't control the denizens of the deep. He's the king of the sea, and they should obey him IN SPITE of their natures. I don't like the idea that the sharks would ever NOT listen to their king.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
