This is gonna flop unfortunately…

shyt should be like the Mexican Black Panther, I don’t understand the lack of interest. Horrible marketing?
i think one of the biggest reasons is ever since Gunn said fukk the DCEU, I'm making my own... people have lost interest in these already made movies.

The stingers that hint at stuff dont mean shyt cause nothing will come of it. like the one here or the one in shazaam 2, etc

When the trailer first dropped, I had zero intention of watching this film; it looked lame to me but I saw it anyway and ended up enjoying it :leon:
Seeing all the low ticket sales is a major bummer though because this movie deserves to do at least decent numbers. I hope this movie can at least break even. I don't understand the lack of support thus far, maybe this movies international numbers will boost it up. When I went and saw it last night the theater was like 90 percent full on a Friday night. The Hispanic demographic, at least where I live, came out and supported the film :yeshrug:

There were a lot of jokes and references I didn't understand due to being Black but the Mexicans in crowd were cracking up for a good portion of the movie.

I'm not the biggest Blue Beetle comic fan but I've read a good chunk of his comics and this movie had me scratching my head with some of the changes they made. Jamie's best friends, Brenda and Paco are completely missing from the film. They were major pieces to his story in the comics. Jamie's love interest and the main villain of the film are both original characters which is odd when they could've just used established characters from the comics. La Dama (Brenda's aunt) would've been a better villain than Victoria Kord IMO.

The inclusion of the OMAC's was odd to me and they didn't look anything like the OMAC's from the comics. Blood Beetle could've been Jaime's enemy instead of Ignacio but maybe they'll save him for another film if there is one.

It had a great RT score but a movie like this also needed an A cinemascore in hopes of longevity from great word of mouth. Elemental started off disastrous (29m opening) but had a great RT score and an A cinemascore... it went on to gross 444m world wide, despite looking like a bomb.

Black Adam had a B+ cinemascore and Flash had a B, and both more or less plummeted despite solid RT scores.

I think DC is just currently limping through what is left of the Hamada reign. "Flop or not, let's get through this shyt and start the reboot." I really do feel bad for Blue Beetle. It's a good movie caught in between one outgoing reign and one incoming reign.

Gunn officially announced that Jaime Reyes will continue on in the new universe.

Had a lot of fun with this. The practical suit looked incredible. Gorgeous. Makes me mad MCU did that CGI suit shyt with Spider-Man and iron man.

Bruna is sexy AF.

I liked the small stakes. I hope it catches on at the box office since there's absolutely nothing to see for the next few month. My theater gave out free T-shirts and pins.

This is the back the front looks like the pin
