Part 3/9:
Several reports and test screenings paint a grim picture of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Early testimony indicated that audiences were walking out of test screenings, with one contributing factor being the film's overly dark scenes. A specific scene involving Aquaman's baby dying at the hands of a villain was highlighted, with some speculating this was too disturbing for general audiences.
However, insider sources suggest the issues with Aquaman 2 go far beyond just dark scenes. Many are describing the movie as "boring as hell," which may explain why viewers lost interest. This sentiment aligns with earlier reports from February, where multiple reshoots and version changes, including various iterations of Batman, signaled substantial behind-the-scenes chaos.
