Bro. You and common sense as so far from each other. 1st you think Susan's character is ted Kords wife 🤦‍♂️ And then you say something stupid like. Oh it's his niece by marriage? Like TF? What does that even mean by marriage? "I'm my aunts nephew by marriage 🥴🥴🤡🤡🤨🙄🤦‍♂️"

[@DaveRedsky]

And you're also a marvel shill as well

[@odinsahn7648]

Blue Beetle was a decent entry into the DCU. Much like the first WW or Shazam!, I enjoyed this film quite a bit. I liked the fact that all the characters had exposure and a great amount of screen time. I like Susan Sarandon but she wasn't that menacing even with Carapax, which is my only gripe. The action and pacing was well done and I liked the after credit scene. More Beetle to come. Great reaction.

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

Ted Kord is Jenny blood 🩸 father

[@DaveRedsky]

@@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb no. He is Jenny Kords father "by marriage" 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️

[@mr.moviemafia]

Blue Beetle, more so than any superhero movie in the last few years, REALLY didn’t deserve to flop at the box office like it did.

[@nicholasdeporto5257]

This movie was fuckin’ awesome

[@ydenneki]

I know it's a superhero movie and a lot of creative license is taken in regards to reality, but you cant JUST IGNORE THE NORMAL LAWS OF PHYSICS without consequence ... in THIS case poor box office sales and a mediocre IMDB rating (only got a 6.0). TWO examples near the beginning, a person falling straight down, even from space, will NOT generate any significant amounts of heat, and a motor vehicle that's cut in half will NOT remain upright and would instead fall towards the center (the wheels are on the outside). It was ENTERTAINING ... but it DESERVES a flop just for those.

[@calebsoria1901]

it didnt flop cause of ratings but it was during the sagafa strike which lessen advertisment.

[@Sim0n0711]

@@ydennekibro it is a superhero movie. It doesn’t need realism

[@U-A-V]

As it’s been said many times, this movie really didn’t deserve the flop. I find it sad that it did but at least we know he’s in james gunns dcu, and hopefully we get a follow up to this specific story whenever the next blue beetle movie is since they built such a special connection with him and his family.

[@xackwerley9184]

Yeah blue beetle is one of my favorites so I hated to see it flop, however I absolutely loved the movie.

[@nijel1943]

Well the movie itself is really great, i think the reason it flopped is the lack of marketing behind it so there's no hype

[@xackwerley9184]

@@nijel1943 yeah and the fact that it’s an origin movie for a not super well known character in a movie universe that is being rebooted. I’m just glad that the cast is supposed to be staying for Gunn’s DCU

[@rmhartman]

Timing is everything. They had already tanked the DCU, so this was a lame duck when released .

[@carlosjaimez9028]

Wait. It did worse than the flash?

[@Room-jx1ke]

As an Mexican-American I felt so represented and i loved this movie they got accurately a lot of stuff that Mexican families do, and when my family and I watched it, it was a blast. I was happy that you guys saw the film that you guys enjoyed it❤

[@Alderam95]

Hey just wanted to let you know that I’m Mexican and I took my mom and dad to go see this in theaters and your right I felt this was accurate for us as well. I cried so hard when dad died, a few days later my mom brought up that my dad was also crying to that scene too lol I’m glad blue beetle will be in James Gunns dcu

[@TheTicianni]

I can assure you, watching this movie as a Latina is a completely different experience, and watching it as a Brazilian with a Brazilian audience... Bruna Marquezine is a big deal here. We've watched this girl grow up, acting her heart out and making us cry since she was six years old in our telenovelas. For starters, we would show up at theaters asking for tickets for 'the Bruna movie.' The hype when her name appears in the opening credits? Woah! When she speaks in Portuguese, just one line, the theater celebrates as if it were a World Cup goal. Seeing her in such an important (international) role was a source of pride for a nation. Blue Beetle didn't revolutionize the genre, but the cultural background hit the right spot.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

I love the strong hispanic cultural element and Jaime's character growth. Everyone in the Reyes family is great, especially Rudy. George Lopez slays this role.

[@TheBlond49]

Terrible cultural representation

[@isabellesoto4391]

And the family aspect of making you stronger. I’m Hispanic and family means everything to us.

[@SpiritxEnigma]

@@TheBlond49As a Latino, I have to say you’re wrong lmao

[@TheRManProds]

GLAD THAT XOLO IS STAYING AS BLUE BEETLE IN THE DCU!

[@TheGamer_MJ]

Bro i absolutely loved seeing this film in cinemas, it was the first DC film that actually made me tear up, especially a Character that I had only known from Shows and through other characters there’s a reason it’s in my top 3 films of the year

[@gdog5798]

The death scene alone made this movie for me, usually films will pass on the moment but it felt real, the emotions from the family felt authentic and brought me back to when I lost my mother back in 2016, truly this is my personal favorite dc film that I will rewatch countless times, hopefully gunn allows the family and Jenny Korg to also come back in the new dcu alongside xólo as blue beetle Nuff said

[@AdrianChazz]

Man, you gotta love Tara... She brings her 200% EVERY SINGLE TIME...!

[@wrenwry]

This movie is such a fun blend of Tokusatsu flick, MCU phase 1 origin story, and latino indie film. I absolute loved it.

[@diode_wow]

This movie hits even harder for latino watchers because it it hilariously and aggressively latino. All the small easter eggs, the little details, the filming locales in Puerto Rico, it was honestly such a blast to watch in theaters.

[@Jordashian93]

The Reyes family are by far the best thing about this otherwise by-the-numbers caper. Funny, endearing and surprising, they recall the family in The Incredibles, and give the story its heart.

[@Gabrielclarke15]

I think you should know that the girl who plays Jenny Kord, Bruna Marquezine is a Brazilian actress and this was her first big role in Hollywood we Brazilians are very proud of her funfact: when she says "me too" to victoria in the end she actually spoke in Portuguese

[@aaguilar061289]

Yeah it definitely wasn’t Spanish I was wondering

[@Gabrielclarke15]

@@aaguilar061289 actually surprised me that they made her character brazilian

[@ASUKPOP]

[@RafikiTheBaboon]

You've got to think his grandma grew up during a hard time in presumably Mexico. She's a badass.

[@mushroom4286]

This was such a fun movie to watch in theaters! Nana Reyes is hands down my favorite character! She is such a badass!

[@sammiebray1661]

This is one of the better superhero movies in recent years and I’m so upset that it flopped at the box office because it didn’t deserve to, at all. I’m happy that he isn’t out of the universe though, so James Gunn is at least putting his faith and support behind this. I’m excited to see the future of Blue!

[@monsterking1973]

This was such a great movie in my top 5 for the summer movies blue beetle is a great DC character and to see him and the history of the other two blue Beatles is a dream come true

[@sombrashadow0013]

Out of all things, I did expect O.M.A.C to have a role in this. I guess it makes sense since the reason Ted Kord was killed in the comics was because of O.M.A.C

[@TheeJasonReyes]

Shoutout to the one white family at my screening who understood NONE of the Mexican references while everyone else were laughing their asses off 😂 such a great movie I love it 🙏

[@DavidGowers]

If I may ask, could you tell me what Rocio actually says to Jaime that the subtitles say "and kick their asses"? I know very little Spanish (or really, any non-English language) but I know enough to to fairly confident that "pinche madre" or however it's spelled doesn't mean what the subtitles said it means

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I don't really know Spanish either, just a few words. But in context, it sounds kinda like MFrs.

[@mykelaird6691]

Several curse words lol I head Mf's , A hole , bitch 😂

[@blueproxy]

@@DavidGowers She said "parteles la pinche madre". The literal translation of that would be "break their fucking mom" which obviously makes no sense lmao. "Kick their asses" is an ok translation but doesn't bring across the vulgarity of the statement. I would say "fuck them up" or "beat the fuck out of them" is better in terms of the vibe lol. There's a lot of slang in spanish that is pretty vulgar and for some reason movies translate it to a much tamer version of it. Maybe to keep with the pg13 rating.

[@besupaaa]

Bruna representing Brazil haha, yey. I'm so glad she's in this movie and having fun with her role. ❤

[@mr.moviemafia]

The Oreos in frame at 51:50 was stated to be a very purposeful reference to something in the comics, and Martian Manhunter is a notorious fan of them. So, by process of elimination. apparently means that Ted Kord is likely doing something with Martian Manhunter

[@gdog5798]

That would be hilarious, hopefully it’s true, I can already see countless Oreo and dc commercials with Martian manhunter starring in them.

[@thenerdywave2007]

This movie was fun to watch! Can’t wait to see Blue Beetle in James Gunn’s DCU! 👍

[@TheHeroClass]

Tara's energy for those intros are always at 500%!! Great reaction you guys as always you guys!

[@UBONME]

That’s why I can’t watch reactions with her. So extremely irritating.

[@chvisk]

One of my favorite supe movies from the last couple years. Laughed, cried, left me wanting lots more of this world, family, and Jaime

[@dillonsukram9381]

22:35 that was so cool! There aren't many live action DC movies with young superheroes, I like how Blue Beetle is the first young DC hero to get a live action movie because he doesn't get enough focus in animated movies and I don't think the general public knows him well. I like how they didn't have everyone at the corporation be evil, Jenny, the girl in the white, helping out is a good idea because she knows the building in and out and can help. We need more young DC superheroes in DCU theatrical movies.

[@auslandermercury972]

Great movie. Great reaction. Just wanted to note, I didn’t mind the sound without the headsets working at all. It sounded great to me 🙂

[@TJUC123]

“So this is her niece by marriage, I assume.” My man’s doesn’t know how marriage works. If Victoria was married to Ted, that would be her step daughter. Not her niece. 🤣🤣🤣

[@DavidGowers]

Yeah, the way they centred the movie on Jamie and his family, and KEPT it centred on the family, without sacrificing Jaime's screen time is what made this movie so good to me. Like, yeah, he's this big kickass, awesome hero guy now but he still kinda needs his family in the way that you SHOULD 'need' your family. And then at the end when a whole bunch of the community turn up to show their support and offer their respects for Jamie's dad, like community SHOULD rally together. Also, I too got big Iron Man 1 vibes from the first big fight between Jamie and Carapax, but even then they managed to distance themselves from being just another rip-off really well, especially with the way they had Carapax redeem himself at the end. That moment when his mother comes to him and tells him it's time to come home gets the tears flowing every damn time.

[@mostrecenthero]

As always, you guys are an absolute joy to see. Keep it up!

[@marcussantos4816]

I saw the movie with my friends we all agreed is had some superhero cliches also agreed is was a good watch. I end up seeing myself in Jaime like I would with Peter Parker. Plus that scene with Jaime trying to protect his family and his father dying got me 😢

[@CarlLepeltier]

We love to see how Andrew was very moved all along the movie ! Truth is, whatever is your impression about the movie as a whole, at this end of the day what's for sure is that it has a soul and a heart, with this deep and strong family bond that's at the core of it... I remember shedding a few tears for 2 or 3 scenes of the movie (the one between Jaime and his dad in order for Jaime to find his purpose and finally manage to be in complete tune with the Blue Beetle was particularly powerful on an emotional-standpoint)...

[@Kanoog]

The scarab is bound to Jaime at a microscopic level to his spine, it’s literally impossible to remove without killing him even the Atom shrinking down small enough to go inside Jaime’s body can’t succeed, while he was able to cut it at first it quickly started sending out its own army of anti bodies that attack him and they also went a repaired the damage he did to look as good as new. It’s a curse and a gift.

Big fan of Tara's chaotic energy (especially during the "Saw" movie reactions)😂

[@codyt821]

Didnt expect to have a new fave movie react duo on this channel, but Tara and Andrew have risen to the top of my list super fast. Theyre reactions arw always so awesome to watch. And may i also say, this movie deserved so much more love at the box office. It was a great script, some great acting, stellar casting, and super cool effects and set pieces. The practical beetle suit is the best superhero costume on screen in a while. And homie did a great job bringing the character to life. I guess the stink of the past few years of DC films kept people away....justly or not. Its a shame, i hope we see much more of Blue Beetle in Gunns new DC movie universe

[@loreleivixen]

The only thing I disliked about this reaction was the guy comparing everything to Marvel, this is way better than Marvel.

Generic superhero beats but a surprising fun family dynamic that really carries the movie and makes it enjoyable.

[@nintenmetro]

The strikes severely screwed up the cast and crew who worked so hard to create this film. They deserved better.

[@viztorhugo]

I understand why it was a domestic flop, the producers made risky decisions by making the story full of references to Mexican and Latin culture, with characters speaking in Spanish most of the time. But as a chilean it is incredible to see those references to, for example, Violeta Parra or Don Francisco and they also made me connect with the family, which is something very Latin. It's one of my favorite DCU movies even though it's a generic origin story...

[@thedarkemissary]

Nah. It flopped because these 2 people just watched a Blue Beetle movie and still no nothing about Blue Beetle. They did get to enjoy a fun Mexican family movie, though. So, they know about Mexicans.

That part in the "lab" of Jenny's father is very funny when Jaime says "no way" and the uncle responds "sí wey" it's a play on words but as a Latina I appreciate those little details a lot, in general I loved this movie a lot although I can't be very objective, I hope its sequel or what they continue to do with Blue Beetle goes well, I loved the family and the role of Bruna but I love Xolo very much and I love that he is in the new DCEU, I have a lot of faith for the future of his character and DC.

This movie was a total love letter to the overall Blue Beetle legacy! Crazy to think that the name has continued to be successfully used since the 1940s.

[@youngzee8]

It’s supposed to be in El Paso. That’s where it was filmed and that’s where Blue Beetle lives in the comics, but they changed it to your standard DC generic city in post production for some reason. That’s why there’s El Paso stuff all over the Taco, they live on El Paso Street.

[@DanielTorres-pw8il]

Because in the comics he is now from Palmera city because DC wanted him to have his own city like every other character.

[@youngzee8]

@@DanielTorres-pw8il as much I love DC, that’s the thing about them is hate lol. Like stop creating all these extra ass cities and shit, and just put mfs in some shit that’s real.

[@Brook11223]

So James Gunn confirming Xolo will return as Jaime Reyes aka Blue Beetle for DCU but now will the Blue Beetle version be a newer version as this is going to be set in the DCU timeline while the the Blue Beetle film kind of set in the DCEU timeline. I feel with actors reprising their roles they will be doppelgangers appearing in the new DCU timeline with previous events having never happened unless James Gunn gives another explanation. John Cena's Peacemaker will return but season 2 will it continue a new story completely ignoring the events of season 1 as that took place during the main DCEU timeline.

[@TheBlond49]

What a mess, worse than it was before

[@halfcentaur9836]

I don't think any of these details are set in stone. There's nothing written for any of the characters beyond Superman and maybe Batman.

I don't see the need to reboot since this movie is very disconnected from the dceu it can easily fit into the new dcu.
