Blue Beetles DESPERATE Director Can't Stop This BOMBING

[@disparutoo]

Blue Beetle Reviews are out with their first impressions and to repeatedly tell us the geographic region the cast comes from. I'm just not sure why that would make me go and see a movie. Set a film in Liverpool and I'm still not sure why it should make me go and see it. But this movie has nothing else seemingly going for it, and the cast themselves think not marketing the movie is on the right side of history. So for a movie that wants to have multiple movies spanning 12 years, they're really not putting in much work to make it a success in the first place! Now we can sit back and wait to see if it releases more like 12 or 30 million dollars....But what do you think about Blue Beetle? Has their marketing made you interested? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

And he's not expressing any regret about that... he's saying he WANTS to stick it to the company that paid him for his work so they get nothing from it. While that might be the right attitude from the union's perspective, his present and future employers have a perspective too, and they will be right to be wary of hiring someone who is happy to destroy them after his checks clear. There was a diplomatic middle road here and he didn't even TRY to take it.

[@jacquelineking5783]

Given the writers and actors are over paid for the quality of their work I would respect him more for crossing the picket line. This strike is stupid. The actors, writers, and executives all deserve massive pay cuts. Besides that $1000 per day for a part time job is a fucking wonderful pay rate compared to almost fucking everyone else in the States. You want more then take on some of the risk of the movie or TV show flopping. Though I do agree with transparency and protecting your likeness. Besides that it isn't so much the victors that write history as much who writes the most about it that makes the narrative. Just look at the American Civil War and how it gets talked about. Hell for WW1 plenty people nowadays seem to recognize that shitshow was more than Germany's fault. Even if post war everyone was happy enough to absolutely blame them for it.

The thing is, Blue Beetle comics did have values. Jaime was about Respecting his family; hence why he told them about his new powers cause he didn't want to worry them. He respected the past, hence why he tried to live up to the legacy of Ted Kord and Dan Garret by taking what they had done and learning from them. But sadly, that sort of thing isn't allowed in Hollywood anymore, so a once great character has been boiled down to "Look guys, we got a new super hero and he's LatinX, please give us your money!"

@jabyalex7868 It is that deep. This is about far more than pop culture.

Females will have the same rights they’re afforded by the invaders in their home countries. The last decade has been about weakening our social values and dividing our nations, butchering our children, silencing any discussion with accusations of horrible personal traits. Led by people completely out of touch, and often people who are openly hateful of their own nations. Wait until car bombings become more common than school shootings.
