I would like to talk about Justice League and Aquaman, and how Aquaman should have come out before Justice League.
I feel that Justice League is missing many things, but one thing that could have help it was world-building. There was the Wonder Woman film, and it was a very good film. But the issue in Justice League we are given nearly the beginnings of 3 superheroes: Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg. Given the history of Barry Allen, and time travel, I can overlook the inclusion of The Flash. The Justice League film gives the viewer the origin of Cyborg, but sadly he wasn't truly the focused of the film, so it fails at connecting the viewer connect with Cyborg. Then comes Aquaman, and for most of the film he was just there, but still the character was great because of Jason Momoa's presence on the film.
Then early this month I saw Aquaman. After viewing the film, and understanding the end. Here is the Aquaman, that should have been shown before the events of Justice League. This Aquaman is a King, a King that understand the land above, his home-world, effects his Kingdom, and his current home. Having this film take place before the events of Justice League, would allows us to connect better with Aquaman, and help us the viewer to understand what is truly at stake during the events of Justice League.
So as a King he understands that an alliance needs to be made in order to keep not just Atlantis safe, but Earth itself. So he would be willingly to be a foundering member of the Justice League, and understand that someone else is pulling Steppenwolf's strings.
So in conclusion having Aquaman that is a King of Atlantis, and a hero that understand that an alliance is needed to survive, would have made the Justice League film a better over all film. Sadly Joss Whedon is not a director or writer that understands this, and his presence made the film worse.
