YES! Being Latino two big parts really got to me that I didn’t expect in a comic book movie. Like you mentioned the targeting the families and the scared neighbors watching from across the street (from behind bars). When they go into Karapax’s history as an war orphan turned child solider. My parents both came to the US running away from a civil war in El Salvador.

[@jonah64]

I really wish this movie would have had a better opening weekend. It was a fun movie. Hopefully DC doesn't scrap the character due to this poor performance.

[@granddaddyotaku636]

The audience score and it's afterlife in streaming should help it. ppl trolling the movie because it didn't do well opening weekend are taking this too far. It's almost as if some ppl are happy it failed. I want DC to actually do well in the cinemas. But the only way for that to happen is if fans stop being so critical and just support these films with a little more humility. DC will never succeed if ppl are just going to find fault in everything that isnt perfect. we need to learn to start enjoying things as is and stop letting our expectations dictate our reactions. I went into this movie expecting very little. This allowed me to just enjoy the film for what it did right. it's an 8/10 film for me. Could be better, but ultimately not as bad as some of its biggest critics are trying to make it seem. 🙏

When Jaime meets his father in the sort of spirit realm, the imagery they used to depict this spirit realm is a reference to the movie MACARIO (1960) , which was the first mexican film to ever be nominated for the Oscars in the category of international film and one of the best mexican film of all time!

The best fact about Dan Garret Blue Beetle is that Dan was one of the first capes Jack Kirby worked on in the 40s

[@Qicksilver0075]

This was a great movie, the whole cast just about every beat of the story was well done.

[@concretecomrade4601]

There’s a scene when the scarab turns his hand into a gun and it looks like the same prop from the Fifth Element which is funny because it’s an alien weapon meaning that the scarab may have witnessed the weapons from that film even though it’s set in the future so maybe just reusing props like the power glove

[@andreusgabriellelopez4262]

There was also a reference from Mortal Kombat with Jaime saying "come over here" at the fight sequence from pago island after reuniting with his sister. Another reference could be from Final Fantasy when Jaime created a sword that looked like Cloud Strife's iconic buster sword.

[@MrShaunhunter]

I went in with the lowest of expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The movie won me over, it was very funny, I enjoyed the action set pieces, and the audience which seemed to be 50% Hispanic absolutely loved this film!

But Blue Beetle is pretty good. not flawless, but a lot better than some critics are making it seem.

Hopefully, we will get more of Jaime n Khaji Da. Tho, I do have a question. When did Jaime learn the Scarabs name, idr seeing the part of the movie when he was told, but halfway thru, he just randomly started calling it "Khaji" out of nowhere.
