Then they started flirting, from my understanding motivated by the realization that their flirting terrified their older siblings, and by virtue of being younger siblings, continued to flirt out of a genuine attraction to one another coupled with the perverse delight in the expressions of horror and disgust on the faces of his older brother and her older sister. The courtship was very public.

They dined at the castle that night, feasting upon fresh-caught river trout, cooked to crackly perfection over open flames, and served with lemon from the gardens.  There was roasted boar as well, from a mighty beast the hunters had slain, the huge chops basted in their own glistening fat.  They drank sweet summerwine, staining their lips red, and making their songs more merry as the night drew on.  And then the servants brought out platters of berries and cream and cakes, each one sweeter and more succulent than the last.

Also someone murdered the king or whatever.

For breakfast they had platters piled high with crisp bacon…

However the Stewards of Gondor still kept scouts in Ithilien (or Moon-land
in Sindarin), based at secret locations such as Henneth Annûn (the name means Window of the Sunset), which were built shortly after 2901. In 2954 Mount Doom burst into flame and those few farmers who remained fled Westward over the Anduin, leaving only the Rangers behind to harry the servants of Sauron.

From Justice League #17, the end of the “Throne of…

oh man ive never really read any comics before but this looks really good! and the new movie has me v excited for these characters!

I had watched the animated movie from a few years ago that was based off of this arc – it’s pretty good, animated fight scenes are nicely done, everything except the annoying bit that is is the nu52 so there’s a few scenes of Superman/Wonder Woman, which aside from taking up valuable screen-time for what isn’t a long film, is a pairing that I loathe for many reasons. But the animated version removed Vulko and thus made Orm a more generic actual villain. I knew that the original comic had Orm as an anti-villain and that he didn’t kill his queen mother and wasn’t working with Black Manta but was just duped by Manta and Vulko. I wasn’t expecting “Oh gods, he looks like a baby without his helmet, this is Loki-fangirl feelings and you are better than this, stop.” I knew the Trench was the first Aquaman arc in the nu52 reboot, and that villain horde will also be showing up in the live action film. Plus interviews with Patrick Wilson who plays Orm are hinting that it might not just be straight antagonism between the brothers, that their hate will come from a place of love, so I’m expecting the live action movie to fall somewhere between the animated and comic version.

I’ve been reading the Rebirth Aquaman comics (and the recent Mera mini-series), but the movie trailer prompted me to go back and read the first couple issues of nu52 Aquaman of which Rebirth is a continuation.

The funniest thing for me, to be honest, is that while I never read any of the pre-Flashpoint Aquaman comics, at least according to the internet, for the period of the Post-Crisis to Flashpoint: Aquaman was the full Atlantean (and blonde) and Orm was the half-human half Atlantean younger brother – and his mother was First Nation. Now post-Flashpoint, Arthur is the half-human, Orm the full Atlantean, and now the live-action has Orm finally as the blonde and Arthur is the brunette played by an actor with Native American and Hawaiian ancestry (and Thomas Curry is being played by Temura Morrison)
