AQUAMAN. HIS MOMENT IS NOW!

More than any other character in the Justice League (and possibly comic books in general), Aquaman is constantly labeled as "lame", or "the laughing stock". Comic book artists and writers have tried to make the character translate as the opposite, but generally fail to hit the mark. Nobody is to blame for this, not creative teams, nor the character himself. The blame lies perhaps with the medium. Despite the fact that things have evolved over the years, from talent to how things are printed, a lot of what should make Aquaman "cool" gets lost somewhere. No matter how many killer whales, or how big the great white sharks, print form holds back the king of Atlantis.

If we were still in the 1990's or even the early 2000's, this could still come off as cheesy and further damaging the character. However, in the age we live in, the age of near flawless CGI, Aquaman now has a platform to show the world what he's capable of. From the creatures of the seas, his live action presence (Jason Momoa has a "presence" to him naturally), to even the water effects that will really add to the character. All of which are in a visual sense of course. The performance and story will really be the basis of what makes of breaks this character, but the visuals are very helpful with this one. Sure, we have seen Aquaman in live action form before in Smallville, but not much was really done there. And in comparison to what could be done in a movie (or event now on television, hint hint for Arrow and The Flash), it will be nearly non-existent.

We won't know much for another year, but there is always room for questions until then. Questions like "if this pans out, will we see Aquaman get a solo movie?", "what if this fails?". That one is somewhat key. Like mentioned in the beginning, this is Aquaman's chance to become one of the "cool kids". There is an opportunity to annihilate the haters from over the years, but there is also the chance to add some jet fuel to their fire. As with everything involved with this movie, guess we will find out.

MOVIE AND TV SHOW FAMILIES

Similar to the Valentine's Day article with Movie and TV Show couples, the family side of things will also have more of a nerdy focus to it. Families can consist of a lot, from blood relation, to love, and respect. A combination of all of those, or individually, each make for the foundation of a family. So, in the spirit of Canada's holiday today, Family Day, here is a short list of Movie and TV Show families...

The Queen Family

(Arrow)

It is somewhat of a tragic family with the deaths, deceptions, amongst other things. But, as is usually the case in any heroes life, and their families.

The Bennet Family

(Heroes)

At times dysfunctional, but in the end nothing but an unbreakable bond, and a father's love. Yes there is Noah and Claire, but lets not forget the "normies" of the family who protect this family is Lyle and Sandra (despite divorcing Noah).

The Potter And Weasley Family

(Harry Potter franchise)

Not your typical nerds per say, and possibly generalizing here, but Harry, Ron, Hermione, etc are a collection of outcasts, geniuses,  etc. Typical nerd and geek traits, no?

The Amell Family

(Arrow and The Flash)

Sure we mentioned The Queen's which has Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen. But, there is also his cousin, Robbie. Who just so happens to play Ronnie Raymond aka Firestorm.

Alex and Lilly

(Grandma's Boy)

Besides being a video game tester, Alex is also a creator as well. His grandma, Lily, is quite the natural born video gamer.

MOVIES AND TV COUPLES

There is really an endless list simply of these couples based on the fact that "love" is really the basis of any story (if you think about it). So, we'll try and focus this list on the more "nerdy" couples from across both the big and small screens. Here's our favorites...

Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood

(Indiana Jones And...)

Marion is a keeper for sure. She goes toe-to-toe in verbal and physical encounters, but more impressive, is her ability to drink every man under the table. She does lose some points for raising Mutt, but can't really blame her for Shia La Beouf being horrible.

Neo and Trinity

(The Matrix trilogy)

Sure, the love scenes seemed awkward, and unnecessary, but their story is quite beautiful. Neo was "the one" in more ways than one.

Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane

(Lois And Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman)

Easily lands atop any Comic Book Couples list (which you can find HERE actually), but this television rendition was great, despite the occasional cheese.

Sheldon Cooper and Amie Farrah Fowler

(The Big Bang Theory)

To be honest, Raj and his little pooch, Cinnamon almost made the list instead. But, that at times is a little too weird, and the dog might want to lawyer up. Joking aside, Sheldon and Amy are the poster couple for generations of awkward couples.

Han Solo and Princess Leia

(Star Wars...)

Said it would be "nerdy", and this was almost not an option if going that route.

Spock and Lt. Uhura

(Star Trek...)

Now, there is no need to war. Well, one of them.
