WoW Moviewatch: Aquaman's Lament

We can't say with certainty that this is related, but it turns out Mark Aaron James is going to release a followup of the song called Batman's Reply. It's pretty exciting to think that Spiff and the WoW community could thus encourage an artist to create a sequel, so I think that's the version of the story I'm going with.
For what it's worth, my favorite bit was watching Spiff translate my favorite superheroes into WoW versions. He really did an amazingly brilliant job of it.
Edit: It's Batman's Reply not Batman's Lament.

OMG, it's Aquaman! :O I love Aquaman, he was always my favourite. He could talk to sharks and when I was little sharks were my FAVOURITE.

Aquaman: Hello fish!
Fish: Hello Aquaman!
Aquaman: Have you seen any evildoers, fish?
Fish: Hello Aquaman!

I like the little detail in the background showing the Wonder Twins. Also gets them correct. She turns into an animal, he turns into water. Which he generally tended to do on the show.
Also like how he uses a fish to attack.

Great costuming work!

What gear did you use for Green Lantern. I have to get a set of that gear. My fav superhero.
StClair Nov 5th 2010 2:52PM
Agreed, I love the costuming in this. Lots of attention to detail.

Yup - we need an article on what gear to collect to make those costumes!

That's what I told the artist on youtube when I first saw this. I don't know enough about model view to understand just how much time it would take to mix and match to find the right costumes for these.
Great work. As a comic book geek from way back I heartily approve of the topic. XD
Spiff is also the artist that brought us Code Monkey which still brings a smile to my face.

Dreyja, I DO know how much time it takes to put together costumes like that. It's a lot. I'd post my RP fashion blog site, but last time I did that, it ate all my bandwidth for the month in a day and a half.
Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get modelviewer back up and running. It hasn't worked for me since the patch.
Dreyja Nov 5th 2010 7:24PM
Even more impressive then. XD

You know Superfriends really gave aquaman a bad rep. The guy had super strength superdense skin could manipulate water and talk to fish. Plus he got his had cut off and had an epic beard. That's a superhero i can get behind

I liked the "Kiss the Girl" moment.

Love this song, and love what he did with the superheroes! Now I need to start assembling my Superman RP outfit....

The Legion of Doom headquarters had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Oh, well done.
Titanik Nov 5th 2010 12:43PM
I'm not sure if there's a The Little Mermaid reference at 1'10'', but it made me laugh anyways ^^
Awesome job on the video!
sfraser83 Nov 5th 2010 12:59PM
That was awesome!
And yeah, The LoD headquarters was a nice fantastic. Had me rolling on the floor.
