Now before y'all hope to the commets, I'm not trying to bash MCU Namor like I usually do. This is something different I hope can actually start a good conversation.
As a comic book fan, the MCU Namor was almost unrecognizable to me for several reasons which has brought me to my pov of him being someone different all together like the creators pulled him out of thin air. When I thought about it more, I was actually thinking that they could have done something better. They made up Hope Van Dyne so why couldn't they do it again? So then then that got me thinking, for the better, about how they could have keep the Mayan aspect of the movie without having it replace Atlantis & Imperious Rex.
So in the comics, earth has many many gods & they're separated by pathenons. When I say they cover dang near everyone, I mean it. In the comics, they have the Tēteoh which are the gods of Aztec mythology. From here, they could have made a technomagical civilization where the inhabitance lived with their king being the avatar of the Serpent God & obivously not named Namor or being nothing like him. From there, this could not only build off of MCU's differen't magic, but also the different species & gods of earth which ultimately lead to great world building.
I feel this would have been the best choice because a lot less people would have been made over this & they probably would have gave a thumbs without having people compare him to the original Imperious Rex.
Thoughts?
