Blue Beetle (2023)

[Road Runner]

I've never seen Blue Beetle before or even heard about him, but yet this still looks totally awesome.

Ted Kord (the 2nd Blue Beetle) is the one I grew up with reading Justice League comics.

I just saw it tonight and I thought that it was pretty good.

Another racial identity flop.

Another racial identity flop.

It’s racial identity just because the superhero happens to be Latino?

It's racial identity because the movie is driven by racial identity.

Breitbart thinks any thing that isn’t White is racial identity.

Blue Beetle is about a young Latino man who obtains an alien artifact and becomes a reluctant superhero.

Of course his family and most of his supporting cast are also Latino. It’s not a stretch.

Critical Drinker said it's pretty decent.

We needed another superheroes movie like we needed a hole in the head, but Blue Beetle is a decent character with a solid premise. The market is just so over saturated with superheroes it’s no surprise this one didn’t perform.

Too many people aren't Latino. The movie has nothing to say to them about the characters. It's about relating.

Most of us can watch a movie about races different than our own.

Only a stupid person would only watch movies that match whatever race they happen to be.

Sure you can watch one. Paying to watch a movie that has no meaning is a different story.

the movie has a meaning....

Forms of entertainment speak to each of us individually. That's how Freddy Kruger got so popular. A movie centered around the Latino culture isn't going to be attractive to everyone. The makers are already expecting a flop.

a super hero movie is just a super hero movie....and the comics crowd understand this....even if the blue beetle movie had a white kid playing him,many have never heard of him.....so it would not do so great....

The blue beetle might fail due to superhero fatigue having nothing to do with ethnic identity.

it has more to do with not making a good movie....
