Arthur Curry

Despite barely being in the show.

He was the second-best Aquaman.

[laughs] Did you see that movie?

Uh, I, I saw both of the, the Aquaman movies.

The Aquamen.

The Aquamen.

Right.

He transitioned out of Aquaman, a role he held for a decade, and managed to secure a spot in James Gunn's new superhero ecosystem.

But looking beyond that, he has two massive projects on the immediate horizon.

Okay.

He spent the 2010s defining a very specific archetype, the winking, self-aware superhero.

Right.

Aquaman was successful largely because Momoa refused to take the inherent silliness of the character seriously.

He brought a surfer bro, rock and roll levity to it.

The other thing is that if you really wanna go the full Deep One, you're gonna have to set up the revelation that at least one of the player characters is part Deep One.

This works really well if you have a character who already has kind of an aquatic thing or a mysterious background, like an Aquaman kind of thing.

You know, he's a child of a lighthouse keeper and a mermaid sort of a deal.

But like, "Well, you said my mother was a mermaid." "Well, mermaid.

Mm, Aquaman.

He played Job's friends in the Job episode.

I believe he played Aquaman in Justice League, the animated series.

He was also in the Pearl Harbor

episode of Adventures in Odyssey as Aquaman.

Oh my

God.

But yeah, so they've also found a bunch of sneaky ways to incorporate modern, which is their most popular constructed format.

So for Standard specifically, this set is coming at the tail end of the biggest Standard, right? There will be Star Trek, but I think after Star Trek comes a rotation with the Aquaman set or whatever it's called, Atlantis set.

And I thought, maybe I imagined this, I thought they were saying they were excited for Standard to be slowing down for tools in the pipeline, by which they meant banning a batch of molotovs from teacher talent.

But presumably other tools were going to signal a slower, chiller standard.

He's written on a plethora of different books, too.

He wrote for Aquaman, Young Justice, X Factor, and an incredible 12-year run on The Hulk.

For a lot of us kids growing up in the 2000s, we actually know him a lot from TV too.

He worked on notable shows like Babylon 5, which is like this sci-fi show.
