He may have nailed the character of Namor - but the film shortchanged his motivation, IMO.

I just didn't feel they gave me enough to justify what he was doing.

Which could be exacerbated by the fact that the first film's villain was one of the best in the MCU.

But to go from Eric Killmonger to Namor - it just didn't work for me.

that's fair. -- nm - Remlik Feb 1, 13:20
So wait...they made Namor into a Killmonger level villain? -- nm - Jovian Feb 1, 12:51 14

- I mean, not to nerd this up, but in the Marvel comics, Namor would shatter Killmonger. He can beat the Fantastic Four on his own. - David Feb 1, 12:59 2
  - you're not wrong. But Black Panther also took him down a couple of times but it took a lot to do it. -- nm - Remlik Feb 1, 13:20
  - I meant in terms of villainy. Not in strength or powers. Killmonger is a little boy compared to Namor. -- nm - Jovian Feb 1, 13:03
- I'm saying I thought he was a pretty weak villain in the film...and compared to the first film where they had the best villain. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 1, 12:53 9
  - no I mean (spoils) - Jovian Feb 1, 12:56 8
    - Honestly - I don't remember. He just didn't really do anything for me. *shrugs* wasn't my favorite flick. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 1, 13:00
    - Just watch the film. You can see for yourself. -- nm - David Feb 1, 12:59 6
      - Yeah - he was just "meh" for me. I dont know how else to describe it. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 1, 13:00 5
        
        Huge spoilers for the end of the film - David Feb 1, 13:07 4
        
        more spoilers - Turd Ferguson Feb 1, 13:14 3
        
        Spoilers - David Feb 1, 13:18 2
        
        Something really hit me as the credits rolled - not a spoiler... - Turd Ferguson Feb 1, 13:22 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - David Feb 1, 13:23
