Aquaman 2 Completes The Disrespect Of One Snyderverse Character Started In Justice League

Summary

• Vulko played a key role in Arthur's growth in the DCEU, but he was disrespected and killed off-screen without ceremony.
• Vulko's legacy was treated poorly in both Zack Snyder's Justice League and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
• Vulko's death in Aquaman 2 was explained off-screen due to scheduling conflicts that led to Willem Dafoe's absence in the movie.

One of the biggest injustices seen in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was how it continued to disrespect one of the DCEU's best characters, who was supposed to debut in the Synderverse's Justice League. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom depicted Arthur Curry's reluctant return as the King of Atlantis and newfound purpose as a father. In it, he wrestles with the heavy new responsibilities that now rest on his shoulders following his immense character growth in Aquaman. This growth saw him embrace his Atlantean heritage and the noble motive to join the surface world and Atlantis together.
Aquaman did not undergo this growth without resistance, however. Despite being continuously branded "half-breed" and "bastard" by Atlantean detractors - especially his brother Orm - Arthur had a small but integral cohort fighting in his corner. Among these were his wife-to-be Mera, his Queen mother Atlanna, his father Tom, and his mentor, Nuidis Vulko - Vizier of Atlantis. Despite the majority of these maintaining their importance throughout Aquaman's DCEU story, the DCEU is particularly disrespectful to Vulko, whose noble story comes to a decidedly ignoble end.
