I'm not sure why WB/DC execs keep approving lines of dialogue that undermining their proven workhorse who keeps their entire brand afloat, let alone why they also decide to feature said lines in their promotional materials.

Nobody was asking for a Mexican superhero. Non-comic book fans have no idea what a "Blue Beetle" even is.

Neither most people knew who Guardian of the Galaxy are.
And I don't think BB being Mexican is a problem in itself.

Honestly man, I know you are a master troll, but just to meet your commentary head-on: It has nothing to do with that. This movie probably would have been a smash hit in a different social climate unrelated to woke $#!( .

But it sealed it's fate the 2nd homie in the trailer pulled that line. People just don't care anymore - the first sign of denigrating the country, or some clown's revealing dialog about implied evil and people are out. See, nobody wants fascists - but what the consumer is done with is the modern peasant-thinker using the term as if they have used it correctly.

People are done spending money on other people's bull$@!( belief systems. Because those belief systems are over nonsense - genders and rolley-polley men-women who give emotionless screams in public, or some black kids whose only real problem is their own culture and behavior rather than "racism".

People are slow to change. They spent money on this stuff for a short window hoping it was authentic before seeing it for what it really is - it's nothing more than racism against white males. The end. That's it.

F it. Let it go broke. Don't pay for woke $#!(. I don't want to help people who thought their great fight was against ME when I've never actually wronged anyone. GTFOH.

Because they stoooopid

Saw it on HBO Max. Yeah, it's a stinker. Xolo himself is fine, but he had no chemistry whatsoever with the Jenny Kord lady and that's pretty important here. None. She's totally flat. The only other good actor aside from Xolo is the sister character. None of the jokes land (and many are just cringe, like everything coming out of George Lopez' mouth and stuff with the grandma) and there's not really a coherent bad guy to root against. The stuff with the family members going on an adventure with Kord tech was embarrassing to watch. You can tell it really wants to be fun but it isn't, ever. The script is like your typical superhero script, as if written by AI. Susan Sarandon is basically playing Hillary Clinton here.

*CyberCubed* · 11-22-2023, 05:46 AM

Yeah I felt the same, the family was way too silly/cheesy especially the grandmother going into a dangerous situation like she was laughing about it. The main villain guy was boring as hell as well as the woman villain. A lot of dumb propaganda about Mexicans as well and the usual racism overtones just for the sake of it to make them feel oppressed.

On the plus side Blue Beetles suit and the special effects looked really nice, they really nailed the look of the character.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 11-22-2023, 09:52 AM

I mean, I wouldn’t care if they didn’t do a sequel, but perhaps still use the character in some capacity

*Andrew NDB* · 01-17-2025, 01:15 PM

I wonder if this is still going to be "the first movie of the new DCU."

*CyberCubed* · 01-17-2025, 05:29 PM

The only thing is if you want to see the lead kid Miguel from Cobra Kai in a superhero movie.

Which is honestly why it's so shocking this was a turd. That kid is SUPER charismatic and was a super awesome find in Cobra Kai season 1. All they had to do was build a good movie around him and they failed.

*XERO* · 01-18-2025, 07:36 PM

He was the main reason I watched this. Haha. Dude is going places.

*CyberCubed* · 01-18-2025, 07:50 PM

I honestly wonder if any of the Cobra Kai actors will be successful now that the series is over. Obviously some of them are also models like the actress who plays Tory, but for the rest of them? It's not like any of them are really particularly good actors, they're just entertaining to watch as teens in a lighthearted show.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of them just disappear in the next few years.

*Andrew NDB* · 01-18-2025, 07:54 PM

The Miguel, Hawk, Robbie, and Tory actors (all 4 of them have been in movies since Cobra Kai began) will probably end up OK. The rest? Naw.

I wonder why Hannah Kepple has been pushed to the sidelines so much? At first I thought maybe she was busy on other projects but if you look at IMDB, not so. She hasn't really done anything except for Cobra Kai. I wonder if the Miguel actor put the kibosh on her? They were dating IRL and broke up early into the show.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-03-2025, 06:29 AM

The animated series is hoped to drop by 2026 according to Xolo

I watched Blue Beetle, in general I'm a big fan of the character, he was my first take on blue beetle though, so not a fan of Ted Kord, I like Dan Garret tho.

The movie started off really well, I enjoyed the crazy hijinks but the whole family sticking around for the rest of the movie meant they really wore out their welcome. I did like th bmvoie towards the end again, the suit is just too cool it's iron man/venom all in one. I think the tone of the movie is where they went of, clearly it needed to be aimed at a much younger audience if they were going to make such a silly concept of the family fighting along.

Weird movie to be the only one to survive the DCEU and be a part of the DCU. This one won't need retcons I guess like TSS

*Andrew NDB* · 08-25-2025, 04:29 PM

Even after its failure James Gunn is still talking about Blue Beetle being in the new DCU so I guess that's still happening. It's all pretty harmless, I guess, and it's not like anyone would be interested in doing a Blue Beetle reboot movie anytime in the foreseeable future. We got what we got, "Batman is a fascist!" and all.
