After reading some Aquaman comics, watching the Throne of Atlantis animated movie, and generally getting myself more acquainted with his history, it's funny to me that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has every chance to make things tragic but refused to. Instead we get quite possibly the best ending for the character ever yet.

At the end of the movie, Aquaman has it good since:

His son was kidnapped but was rescued and alive

Both of his parents are still around

His marriage with Mera is intact

He and Orm have mended their relationship

He is still king of Atlantis

And he's able to reveal Atlantis to the world and presumably go on to stop climate change. I'm not totally caught up on all the Aquaman comics but damn he had it good in the DCEU
