The actor is not simply considering the roles he performs but is in a direct way looking at the matter of the world wide political, economic, and environmental issues. He has done so even from the very beginning by using the accompanying religious and social values of his place of origin, ‘Aquaman’ star has recently declared his intention to reach the UN Environment Assembly going on in Nairobi by his presence and his words. He is convinced that earth has a lot to give and accordingly peoples living on it have to be respectful stewards. He even went on to claim that this equilibrium is the very essence of resilience and the latter ought to be the mantra for all global discussions on policy, science, and finance decisions. He said that ‘our children’ should inherit a world that is strong, sustainable, and peaceful, writing “keiki” as the Hawaiian for children. Finally, he called for support from the public through joining him and the UN Environment Programme in the fight for the future of resilience and ending his note with his heartfelt ‘All my love is for you.’

The public’s response to Momoa’s environmental advocacy was very quick and absolutely positive. Many joined him in his views and some even went as far as to talk about the pressing need for change. A person from Germany on social media posted, “I agree with you, Jason. It is of utmost importance that humans act soon to prevent the earth from ‘dying’ for the next generation.” A third person, commenting on the second one, pointed out the main ethical principle saying, “What a pattern for imitation! Give back to the earth more than one has taken. And gathering the worldwide vision for a very strong, peaceful, and sustainable world of hope we all will have.”

However, the conversation swiftly moved from general agreement to particular, practical criticisms. One very elaborate comment redirected attention to social responsibility of businesses, and possible changes in policy needed. The participant delivered a hard and fast list of demands: “Among the main priorities are banning all plastic (like New Zealand), stopping the offshore trawlers that are depleting all ocean life without caring what is killed in nets, no more live animals being taken across oceans, stopping forest cutting for concrete and high-density housing. Be gentle with the earth, please!” This very realistic opinion revealed the gap between high aspirations and the sometimes difficult, controversial, and disputably measures required to realize them. One contributor even cut in with a rectification to the original statement, pointing out, “trawlers, not trollers. Trolling would be a drastic improvement,” thereby injecting a bit of witty humor into the serious matter.

A steady flow of thoughtful responses that were along the lines of Momoa’s reference to indigenous wisdom, exposed the real environmental war as an industrial power direct confrontation. ‘Every indigenous culture has a history of caring, of being the defenders of the earth,’ he wrote. ‘The battle is with the companies that have billions and are the ones driving the ‘Dollar’ not people, not the community, not the Environment.’ This perspective reinforces Momoa’s assertion that the path to resilience is not through advanced technologies but through the ancient, custodial, and nurturing bonds with Mother Nature.

In the middle of the academic discussion, there was still the factor of Momoa’s celebrity that made him very likable as a performer. Expressions such as ‘I believe you will be the one who changes this world for the better’ and ‘THE KING HAS RISEN’ could be seen among the comments which reveal that his personal magnetism contributes to his advocacy. Nevertheless, the situation was such that the very often these comments of and their corresponding could support his message providing an evidence of a fanbase that is not just interested in his movies but also in his principles engagement with his roles.
