He looks like Namor, not Aquaman


So apparently he's going to play DC's underwater hero, Aquaman, who is blonde-haired and blue-eyed. He looks nothing like him. Weird.

You know what's weirder? He DOES look a lot like MARVEL's underwater hero, Namor (who is black-haired, brown-eyed, with angular, exotic facial features).

It's almost like this guy was born to play Namor and born not to play Aquaman, but they're going to use him for Aquaman. How did that happen?

Ugh Hollywood whitewashes so many movies and no one complains and then a PoC might possibly be cast as a FANTASY character who was white, blonde and blue eyed and ppl sh*t themselves. Who cares if Aquaman was originally white and blue eyed??? And guess what? Khan was supposed to be Sikh and not white Benedict Cumberbatch and Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne were supposed to have olive skin, dark hair and gray eyes not white Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth. I can honestly keep going on and on. Suck it up.
