It has come to my attention that Aquaman (2018) is just a shameless ripoff of the Mattel classic, Barbie: A Mermaid Tale.
We have the child of a mermaid queen and a regular human guy


who was brought up in the human world as a free spirit,


who talks to sea creatures,


who is fated to take over the throne of an underwater kingdom (where all the buildings are round and mushroom-y)


which is currently being occupied by an evil, power-hungry relative


with an army of sharks


And their unique position, straddling the human world and the underwater world, is at first a burden but ends up being their greatest strength


… I’m just saying
So what you’re saying is, basically, Aquaman is a Barbie Princess. Fair enough.
