Blue Beetle (Official Thread)

But it was supported

It was supported but it also did what... 60% of the original? That means it LOST 40% of it's previous support. And guess what? The same thing is going to happen with the Aquaman sequel too. It is what it is.

But none of that really matters because it wasn't Gunn's mess or the new Warner Bros. leadership's mess.

859 vs 1.3 mil after losing their man character to death and not recasting him or having any A listers in the movie...

I'd say that's pretty goddamn good

 

[thenatural]

a lot of characters dont require films/shows, they can just be recurring characters

@bolded is mainly why I don't goo to theatres anymore

I just saw Marvel is doing a Thunderbolts movie. I have zero desire to see that and I know a decent amount about the team and their goals. Imagine someone with zero knowledge wanting to watch it.

It just shows me that they should have recast and made a simple story instead of the convoluted mess it became.

A digital release after 1 month? Wtf are these nikkas doing

You think they do 1.3 milly with who exactly playing BP?

shyt black people was like "we ain't going if you recast" so who exactly was gonna make up the difference?

You don't think the movie is better with Black Panther in it?

Wakanda sucked

No it didnt.

Of course I wanted to see Chadwick, but I enjoyed it.

And in my opinion it was too soon to recast him. He literally died during Cooglers script writing. They wanted to honor him and progress at the same time. And that's what they did.

Shuri temporarily being BP is cannon.. I'm sure she'll be challenged ... or mbaku or a young tchalla will take over

We'll agree to disagree then. There's a whole thread on it where most posters are about the whole way it played out.

The fact that some of y’all saying this movie was good is why DC been flopping in the first place. This sh*t was trash just like the other DC movies. Same sentiment over and over. Black Adam wasn’t that bad. Flash wasn’t that bad. Blue Beetle wasn’t that bad. They were all equally garbage films. Some of y’all no disrespect need to step up your expectations because if you’re calling these films good when the collective can tell these films are trash which is why people aren’t going to see it in theaters I don’t know what to say. These movies are arguably terrible and the box office is translating that. If that’s not the case you wouldn’t see such catastrophic fall offs in the box office the week after release because good word of mouth would help these films. They don’t have true good word of mouth and the numbers are actually reflecting that b

DC REALLY gotta pull that Aquaman movie before its too late. They are literally pouring money down the toilet

No way James Gunn makes great quality with a studio this stupid

Five flops in a row would be crazy

Black Adam
Shazam 2
Flash
Blue beetle
Aquaman 2

nikka NO.... Half to most these Marvel movies are absolute shyt shows

I do not think them scrambling to find any nikka they see fit, and throw him into a role where he's going to be compared to Chadwick, and has half the people hating him for even taking the role...........

Would make for a better movie. At all. That's why I keep asking who exactly.. They need a good actor, with star power, who also looks like he could be BP AND can play it where you ain't watching the movie the entire time thinking "Chadwick was so much better than this"

Nah I'm not just gonna THINK that's gonna be better

$1 billion in production costs and aint ONE of em got 500M in box-office

So we aren't discussing the highly profitable Joker and Batman movies during the same time period? What those made in profits far eclipses whatever losses there are from the others
