Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I have always been a HUGE fan of the character "Aquaman" and the mythology that his character brings to the table. And the new film did NOT disappoint me whatsoever. I thought it was beautiful. With that said, I am curious as to what you all feel on ancient mythologies. As with Wakanda when others have asked if there were already industralized civilizations in the world long before it was documented, A strong theme in Aquaman was that the Nation of Atlantis was one that was highly advanced/found a way to have infinite and renewable energy - and ended up sinking when they went too far, but adapted over time to the undersea world.
Theme wise, as I thought on the dynamics, I literally considered how this is something not really taken seriously at points when we seem to assume we're the most advance there is in human history - and yet we still cannot explain how ancient developments occurred. It is with this in mind that I do wonder if others truly take seriously what ancient mythologies indicate when it comes to assuming only one generation was advanced.
