The Reyes family just got its first superhero. #BlueBeetle - Only in theaters August 18.From Warner Bros. Pictures comes the feature film “Blue Beetle,” mar...
What’s sad is this is the first piece of marketing I’ve seen of this movie and it’s due in like a month. This movie gonna tank just like the last few DC movies.
Yea and the fact that the guy that is in charge came out and said yea all these movies don’t matter in the universe anymore and for a lot of people (me included) that extended universe is the cool and important part so why would I go see it. Also super hero movies have become very cookie cutter boring recently.
Yea … for something that Gunn is talking up as a whole new comics cinematic universe … this first glimpse is ahhh super generic and lame looking.
Like, as someone, and I’m sure I’m not alone, that appreciated Snyder’s DCEU and its tone, however many things went wrong with the films, I’m watching this and asking myself … “Gunn, did you really have to make everything from scratch, are you actually that good, or do you think you’re better than you actually are because you think your behind the scenes contributions to the MCU were ‘fundamental’”??
Like, I think we would have been happier with just more Henry Cavill?!
It’s sad that they really can’t seem to get away from “guy with the same powers, but evil!” rut for antagonists in superhero movies. And seriously, the “my family makes me strong, not weak!” cliche too?
yep … it was all veerrryyy tropey. Maybe that’s the point, a safe first entry to get things started. But it seems very dumb in this moment of Marvel fatigue to go and make basically another Marvel/MCU style film. Say what you will about Snyder’s DCU, it had its own tone and vibe and even stories. Like Batman v Superman, while totally overdone, had a core idea very different from anything in MCU.

I read that blue beetle is the first movie in the new DCU.
It’s not. The James Gunn led projects don’t start until 2025.
Blue Beetle and Aquaman are the last of the old DCEU.

This is not one of the James Gunn projects, those don’t start until 2025.
