I recently rewatched the Rush Hour movies and was struck by how easy it was in 1998 to make a wildly successful buddy cop movie about a black guy and a Chinese guy. A Hispanic superhero should not be news, it should be happening without fanfare or congratulations of any kind. We are 30 years past when this was groundbreaking and it has never been difficult to pull off. Write a good story and cast appropriate actors to portray it and people will like it. Nothing else matters.

What do you expect from a Hollywood and politicians that try their best to put the focus purely on skin-color and gender/sexual orientation? It's even sadder how brainwashed some people have become. I recently started to catch up to the American Ninja Warrior shows (cause i watch them when i work out) and a black dude said something along the lines of "if you stop looking at skin color, it doesn't get rid of racism, it makes it worse". I had to stop my workout, because i thought, wasn't not looking at skin color the point? Treat people as people and not by "race"? Mindnumbing, really.

Latin America is a cultural concept denoting the Americas where Romance languages-languages derived from Latin -are predominant.The term was coined in France in the mid-19th century to refer to regions in the Americas that were ruled by the Spanish, Portuguese, and French empires. The term does not have a precise definition, but it is "commonly used to describe South America, Central America, Mexico, and the islands of the Caribbean." In a narrow sense, it refers to Spanish America and Brazil (Portuguese America). The term "Latin America" is broader than categories such as Hispanic America, which specifically refers to Spanish-speaking countries; and Ibero-America, a term not generally used that specifically refers to both Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries while leaving French and British excolonies aside.

The “I could care less” means there are other things you care less about meaning you care somewhat. Anyway thanks for listening to my tangent :)

Something I liked from some of Blue Beetle's animated appearances are when he is sort of at odds with the Scarab. When it's difficult for him to control, and he can't even see his family because the Scarab might hurt or even potentially kill them. Makes it a gift and a curse. From the trailers, it was obvious this interesting conflict was ignored. Such a shame. They could've had Jaime himself have a no kill rule, but the Scarab doesn't and maybe forces him to kill. Would've been a more interesting conflict.

You’re quite right. That’s one of the things I wasn’t a fan of from the film. I felt like this iteration of Jaime had it easy with Khaji-Da to the point where he doesn’t go through any internal conflicts or see how the Scarab affects his life & the people he loves. Even the Reyes family doesn’t seem to mind the Scarab by the end of the film. They pretty much just made this version of Khaji-Da the equivalent of KAREN from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Overall, it had a lot of potential but I do like the scene where Jaime finds out the potential outcome if he removes the Scarab.

Literally anyone who finds this beetle suit can be Blue Beetle, it would work for ANYONE. It just happens to be in this kid's hands at the moment. Lantern Rings choose their owners, and it won't work if you don't have, in the case of Green Lanterns, exceptional willpower. Tony Stark is a genius and built his suit himself. Peter got his powers by happenstance, but his journey is of recognizing since he has those powers he has a responsibility to use them. He's THE hero that symbolizes this. Blade is a half vampire whose past causes him to be highly motivated to hunt down and eliminate vampires. Captain America was chosen to get the super soldier serum because of his personality, his exceptional courage. The serum was also destroyed, so it was vital that he get it RIGHT. Batman lost his parents at a young age and dedicated his life to saving other people from such tragedies, but his wealth gives him the ability to do this the most effectively. Not just anyone can be a superhero, but Blue Beetle could slap his suit on literally anyone, cause the suit does all the actual work.

In the comic the Scarab is constsntly trying to kill people and Jaime has to keep it under control. So he chooses to be a super hero despite the living armor trying to turn him into a super villain.

@@Magnet_Chaos "That's a lie though. One of the main things about Blue Beetle is that the Scarab doesn't work on anyone." Because IT doesn't feel like it, or because of something that actually refutes my point? "The first Blue Beetle could only partially acces some of the powers" He could access all the powers the beetle provided access to, which it can do, for ANYONE. "and the 2nd Blue Beetle couldn't never get it to work"....... Double negatives aside, then they WEREN'T the second blue beetle, huh!? That's like saying "Well the first Iron Man built all these suits, but the second Iron Man couldn't even put the suits on." And again, that's just the beetle being stingy. If it decided to work, it would work for ANYONE. "Jaime was the first person in 40 years that the Scarab worked for." This alien bullshit being written to be super picky for no reason doesn't invalidate my point. It's just arbitrary nonsense. ANYONE who puts this suit on could do all these things. It's not even broken and Jaime fixes it, it just RANDOMLY works this time because fuck earning anything. "Though to be fair in the comic the Scarab is constsntly trying to kill people and Jaime has to control it. So he chooses to be a super hero despite the living armor trying to turn him into a super villain." Killing people doesn't make you a super villain. Killing people that are innocent or at least not that bad is what makes you a super villain. Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, literally all the Avengers kill people all the time, and they're still heroes. Bruce has a problem with it because he kills people as the Hulk and he can't control the Hulk, so he could literally run through an orphanage and have no say in it. "Super Heroes never kill" is not a thing. Spider-Man doesn't want to kill people because he's a KID, and even then he can be driven to that extreme under the right circumstances. Batman doesn't kill people because he KNOWS how unstable he is, and if he starts he won't be able to stop. There's actually an entire story about how BAD an idea it is to take away Batman's rules. Jaime's FAMILY is being murdered and one of them actually IS murdered, but killing a group of armed assailants totally cool with murdering women and children? THAT'S A STEP TOO FAR! If you want your hero to be averse to killing people, you need to actually EXPLAIN it. "He's a good little boy" only works UP TO A POINT. If you want to literally open fire on the hero's entire family, your explanation for why killing the shooters is off the table needs to be a BIT more solid. There are ENTIRE STORIES dedicated to why Spider-Man holds back. This movie only needed to spend a couple minutes, and they failed to do that despite it being PRETTY standard for super heroes to kill people in Marvel and DC movies these days. THEY EVEN HAVE BATMAN KILL PEOPLE NOW!

I wish they would have gone deeper into the Latino culture. The movie sucks because it feels very generic, with a few Latino slang words thrown in to make it seem more authentic. A better version of the movie would have taken place in Mexico. Done completely in Spanish, with a good cinematographer, and written by a good Mexican screenwriter. And the the movie could have shown a real Mexican family in Mexico, exploring some of the culture, but also exploring the real poverty and hardships that Mexicans experience there. Maybe the villain could have been a corrupt politician who is in bed with the cartels.

It could've worked, as pretty much all of Phase 1 MCU were C-level Marvel characters (except The Hulk, but his MCU movie bombed anyway.)

(Leaning more into the wokeness.) 5) The movie is mediocre at best, and a stew of other tropes we've seen before. At worst, this movie should've released in 2017. At best, it should've never been made at all.

My biggest complaints were the obscene addition to the family in nearly all the action scenes, the lack of development between Jaime and The Scarab, and of course, the way overplayed corporate-is-evil angle. In a direct watch without analysis, it was so-so but the second you look deeper, the movie is just way too cliche.

Guardians of the galaxy is easily one of the best if not THE best movie in the MCU. The suicide squad is easily the best DCEU film so far imo. The dude has proven time and time again that he is really good at making superhero movies. And there have only been like 3 DCEU movies post-James Gunn.

I honestly liked the movie. I am Mexican so all the references they made to Hispanic culture were HILARIOUS to me. That said, I HATE when people put politics in movies or race stuff. Like 'oh hispanics are treated to bad', 'no one pays attention to people like us', 'first Hispanic hero.' *STOP THE CAP* Zorro would win that (I am a huge fan of him) + literally none of that is true if anything Hispanics, African Americans, and other minorities have an advantage over white people because they play the race card so often 🤡 -- ANYWAY, you can tell I get heated up about that but if you take out or not pay much attention to those parts of the movie I actually did enjoy it and the suit was awesome.

Yeah, true. I'm starting to worry about the Gunn DCU universe. Sometimes it doesn't seem like him or the studio know what they are doing. There is so much potential with the characters they own. They should just make a live action Nightwing movie, or Teen Titans movie, or Static Shock movie, or a live action movie based on the Justice League animated show.

15:25 James Gunn said that Beetle Beetle was disconnected from the DCEU which makes it easy it incorporate into the new DCU, which he did, no it wasn’t planned from the beginning, He and Peter Safran took over and Blue beetle was ready so it made sense to add it to the new universe instead of leaving it behind

The whole thing where characters in a film will start talking like they are an audience member/press outlet is so weird and offputting, and seems to be an epidemic in film and media right now. It's like they are trying to throttle and strangle out any sense of immersion and suspension of disbelief and constantly remind you of THE MESSAGE, DON'T FORGET THE MESSAGE, YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCING A DIFFERENT WORLD, REMEMBER OUR WORLD AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT YOU BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE. Holy shit at some point, this isn't entertainment anymore, so why do they expect us to pay for it? They should be paying US for the honor of getting to propagandize us.

Self-referential humor... it works if you're Deadpool. Unfortunately, Hollywood elites love it but have no idea how Ryan Reynolds pulled it off. So, they are trying out experimental models that continuously fail... because they are not being done by Ryan Reynolds. The hypothetical 'Superhero Fatigue', is probably better defined as, 'Superheroes Trying To Do Meta And Failing Fatigue'.

I have not seen Blue Beetle yet, and I do not mind if movies are not considered great, I loved and still love The Green Lantern and Black Adam was for me a great film, and was well done, and yeah Black Adam states he is no hero more than one and this one reason why I thought the movie was great, that said, neither Green Lantern nor Black Adam went out of their ways to mirror scenes from other movies, and for what I have seen of Blue Beetle, it is basically a mashup of scenes from Marvel Movies (as you yourself have alluded to in the video) They should have stuck to the original plan and kept this one on Streaming it would have been better received, and there would no idiots making false claims about being the first Latino, I mean okay we can ignore Miles Morales for a moment since he is Marvel, but Vibe is DC and I also noted that Blue Beetle has Big Belly Burgers just like The Flash on CW,
