Triton has a great look, and one more appropriate for an underwater hero than Aquaman or Namor. It's too bad that his appearance was so underwhelmingly replicated on the Inhumans TV series - not that he appeared all that much anyway. I'm sure Marvel will take another crack at the property one of these days, but it's bound to be several years before that happens given everything else they are planning to accomplish first.
Wow, what a great cover. I’ve always been a big Triton fan and he looks fantastic along side Mera! Wonderful job on this one.
ReplyDeleteHow about Marvel's Triton and Disney's Triton (The Little Mermaid")?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tony!
ReplyDeleteNice action pose! If this had been a sci-fi flick, back in the Fifties, Triton would probably have been played by Ricou Browning and Mera...by Esther Williams.
ReplyDeleteAnon@8:15's mention of Disney's Triton gives us another "King of the Seas" that could show up next time Aquaman and Namor share a cover.
ReplyDeleteAs for this Triton, I actually found the series worthwhile, though I agree that Triton was something of a disappointment. Maybe if Kevin Feige can be convinced to preserve the characters (and their actors) for the new MCU, something better can be done with Triton.
This is really excellent. The two figures fit seamlessly. You'd never suspect they are stitched together from totally different adventures. They even look as if they've worked together before... they seem so comfortable together.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Does Aquaman know about Mera's team-up? You've created a few STF romances but I don't think you've actually broken any relationships up yet. Maybe this is where it starts.
A Homeric epic. Atlantis Vs the Inhumans. Throw in a Wooden Horse...
@Davejonz: Aquaman's probably still stuck in the early 31st century.
ReplyDeleteAn underwater team led by Mera would be cool (very cool due to temperature of deep water). Maybe add Abe Sapien as a start?
ReplyDeleteFantastic cover! I always loved Triton too. Perhaps he could have a small part or cameo in the FF movie, whenever they are introduced into the MCU.
ReplyDelete@Glenn, I second your team notion - the Underwater Union? The Watery Warriors? The Man from Atlantis would fit in along with Abe.
ReplyDeleteAbe is already part of Agents of the Abyss with Aquaman
ReplyDeleteHave you Heard? XD XD XD
ReplyDelete@Bob Greenwade: BTW, Triton has a brother, Karnak, who was not subject to the tradition(?) of exposure to the Terrigen Mist, because of what it did to Triton; Karnak instead became a great martial artist called Karnak the Shatterer.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Ooh! Sudden inspiration. Karnak the Shatterer meets...
ReplyDelete...CARNAC THE MAGNIFICENT!
and right after that, Karnak meets Kolchak the Night Stalker for an expose. (Is he part of the Newshounds yet?)
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see the Nightstalker take on the sexiest of the Darkstalkers: Morrigan Aensland!
