Aquaman Will Return

 I wouldn't have believed it if it had been foretold: 

Holiday Season 2022 

and still no sequel released 

to follow up on the landmark hit movie 

greatest success in its genre*, in 2018: 

James Wan's AQUAMAN 

* said genre being not strictly super-heroics 

but much more than that: epic fantasy, too! 

Something that binds all of it: myth, legend, 

modern-day make-believe... 

In brief: something far beyond the limited scope 

of mere superheroic shenanigans! 

However, even after the film's release, 

this many years later, some infinitesimal minds 

do not admit it - heck, they don't even see it...! 

But that is another story... 

With the wave of changes (!) set in motion now 

by the other James (Gunn - not Wan!) 

one thing is for sure: AQUAMAN WILL RETURN 

...only Jason Momoa might not return as him! 

Maybe we will finally get (again, actually) 

a classic, "accurate" (Aquarate?) depiction 

as we did -twice- on the small screen already 

when Alan Ritchson played the part - then reprised it 

after Justin Hartley (inset) briefly played that part for a 

tentative series pilot spun off the CW's Smallville! 

There are idiots on the net that still believe 

that such a pilot was never done - that the stills 

and excerpts from it are fake! 

Poor, hopeless wetrats... 

Making Momoa a simple Lobo 

would open the floodgates to a far more 

faithful depiction of the entire Aqua Saga 

starting with the Sea King himself; 

whose 80th Anniversary was, in fact, in 2021. 

It will be close to two years overdue 

-both the film's release and this book, below- 

when St. Valentine's Day 2023 rolls around...!! 

Until then... 

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas 

and some Acqua Di Parma with that! 

Emilio Pucci will say GRAZIE. 

Tell him Luciano sent you!
