It seems they're really promoting this movie toward hispanics and Mexicans. I guess they feel you guys need to be "represented" in a movie since of course hispanics cannot relate to white heroes. That's probably why the movie will also bring up the immigration issues in Mexico about "crossing the border" and "the wall" so Mexicans can relate to other Mexicans about how oppressed they were.

And that's why it will fail. Any self respecting Hispanic will not give a **** about any of that ****.

Like I was still in Mexico when Iron Man 1 hit. It was packed with comic book nerds thrilled to see Tony Stark come to life. Obviously it was all Hispanics, not one of them said 'this movie would be even better if Tony was Mexican or if he had a funny Mexican sidekick.' same sentiment with Batman Begins/The Dark Knight.

I was already in the US by the time Ant-Man came out, and that one we rented on video so we missed out on the theater experience (we still had Family Video until the pandemic killed it). I wonder how Mexican theaters would have reacted to Luis's shenanigans.

Probably would have actually had success with that had they actually targeted "comic book fans" in a grass roots movement while they made the movie.

But instead they are targeting politically active Hispanic families, sooo......

Reminds me of when my stepbros and I had arguments cause all of em were Trump fans. We had minor bickerings though, I was never the 'YOU'RE NO LONGER FAMILY' kind of person so there was no love lost. At least when it comes to me, blood is thicker than politics, and that was while I was still on the left. I guess that's one of the several things that snapped me out of it, when I thought to myself 'yeah, they voted for Trump but I mean.... they're family. Why is everyone else so quick to break up family over that big orange dope?'

Though I wonder if it woulda been different if they were Bernie bros. The left always seems to be quick to disown family and brag about it.

This is already being predicted to be a historic flop. I wonder if WB will chicken out and pull most of the marketing budget in preparation to just eat the loss.

I actually do want to see it.

*Zulithe* · 08-05-2023, 10:24 PM

Tickets already went on sale. I think it's incredibly rare to pull a movie once that has happened.

I'm probably going to see it... just not expecting a lot from it. I actually think there is a chance I'll like it more than the upcoming Aquaman 2 though based on what we are hearing about that production. And The Flash wasn't good either. If I weren't such a stooge for Michael Keaton's Batman it would have almost no redeeming value at all.

.

I just meant stop running advertisements or slash the budget drastically.

~~Dpooly84~~ · 08-05-2023, 11:44 PM

They have to pull snow white after thier disastrous set photo leaks. I don't think this is the same, they're just gonna send it out to die.

*CyberCubed* · 08-06-2023, 09:46 AM

I don't know what they were thinking making a movie about Blue Beetle to begin with. Most people do not even know who this character is.

~~Sumac~~ · 08-06-2023, 10:27 AM

You could say the same about Ant-Man or Guardians of Galaxy few years ago.

*Andrew NDB* · 08-06-2023, 04:07 PM

Xolo pleads with people to watch the movie because a Latino superhero is very important.

Also the movie is only expected to earn about 50 million it's whole run.

It's a fair comparison, growing up with Marvel I knew Hank Pym as Ant-man not scott Lang and I knew Ted Kord as blue Beatle not whoever this kid is supposed to be.

While I'm kind of interested in seeing what James Gunn will do with his DCU, ever since he's taken over it's been epic flop after flop. This must have some of the hacks at Warner concerned, doesn't it?!

He has his get out of jail free card until after Aquaman 2 comes out, when Gunn's new actual material starts coming out. All he can do now is make them do reshoots and such.

He’s most likely the type who thinks that Speedy Gonzales should be cancelled even though the Hispanic community loves him.
