WARNING!: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Hi guys and yes I am doing an easter egg post despite saying my Avengers: Infinity War easter egg post was going to be my last one for the year. But then I did a little bit of thinking and then I decided not to do it then I decided to do a couple months later. But enough of the "crisis" I faced let me tell you about some of the easter eggs I noticed in Aquaman.
Arthur has an opening narrations about his mom and dad (Thomas and Atlanna) meeting. His narration is a quote from Jules Verne.
In the movie we see that the Curry family has a golden retriever. In the comics (more specifically the New 52 in Aquaman Vol.7 #3) Arthur adopted a homeless dog and named it "Aquadog". Whether this is the same thing or something similar in the movie is never explained.
When Mera meets up with Arthur and his dad she mentions on he was in the fight to stop Steppenwolf's invasion. This is a clear reference from Justice League.
When Aquaman is using his summing powers you can a vuu-vuu-vuu sound along with circles. A clear nod to when his powers are in use both from the comics and the classic cheesy show Super Friends.
When Black Manta is upgrading his gear, he's helmet's lasers go off and he says "I'm gonna need a bigger helmet". This little line is a reference to Jaws.
Orm aka Ocean Master has had a numerous different origins but his origin in the movie is based on his New 52 story. The biggest explain of this being his name "Ocean Master" is not a codename but a title he must earn.
Another thing that's taking from the New 52 era of DC is when Orm send a title wave to the surface world. This is a nod to when Orm did the same thing during the "Throne of Atlantis" storyline.
During the film we're given a history of Atlantis. This history lesson is very reminiscent to the previous history lessons to Man of Steel and Wonder Woman.
When Arthur is captured and meets Orm for the first time, Orm brings up what the surface dwellers are during to the surface. He conjures up images of them being a familiar looking oil rig. Whether this is the same oil rig from Man of Steel isn't certain.
At one point during the movie we see Dr. Stephen Shin's newspaper clippings. One of them being from Coast City. Coast City is the home of Green Lantern.
When Arthur finally arrives to Atlantis Mera says they need to take her ship. The pair goes to a shipping container. When Mera and Arthur take the ship if you look closely at the debris you can see an Annabelle doll.
During the scene when Arthur gets the trident he puts it right in front of his face. The shot is clearly taking from Aquaman Vol.8 #30 cover.
We get a special cameo appear by one of James Wan's friends Leigh Whannell. For any of you don't know Leigh Whannell helped James Wan write the scripts for 2004's Saw and 2010's Insidious. He's the Australian pilot.
The final shot is Aquaman swimming to the surface. This shot is very similar to when Superman flew so fast he broke the sound barrier back in Man of Steel.
So that's going to do it for my easter eggs post of Aquaman. I hoped you enjoyed it. Until my next post enjoy the rest of your day. And if any of you are celebrating Christmas I hope you're having a great Christmas Eve and I hope tomorrow you all have a very Merry Christmas.
