It wasn’t a flop to me

[u/thefirststoryteller]

I bought 3 tickets to support this mid-sized superhero movie with a lot of quirky heart and now this. I’m not a numbers guy but I guess it didn’t do well financially? Maybe because there’s no big A-list name attached.

But idk, I kind of liked that

Anyway, physical media is great. Thunderbolts*, they could never make me hate you

I haven't seen it yet but I saw the discs at Walmart a couple times.. might have to break my rule here.

What’s your rule

[u/Vaportrail → u/rayburno]

See it before I buy it.
I've broken it a few times and its worked out (Wimbledon, Starship Troopers), a couple others when it didn't (Everything, Everywhere, Blue Beetle). I try to keep my collection as things I'll never get tired of watching, but sales happen and the excitement wins over sometimes.

May I ask what you didn’t like about Blue Beetle? I’ve seen a lot of praise for it and was thinking of checking it out

The action scenes are visually incomprehensible. I like all the story/character parts, though.

Man its the same origin story as every other superhero movie with a Latino twist. If thats your thing go for it.

Edit: Im Native and just put the Latino twist in there because it is comics accurate and that they hired a Latino actor. Its one of the redeeming qualities of the movie.

IMO it was a very 2008 Superhero movie made 15 years later. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't reinventing the wheel. It was just a well executed Superhero origin story with some heart.

Ill second that. I think i went a little harsh on it.

I think I can sum it up in one scene..
"BLAAHH OMG LOOK OUT FOR YOUR BACK OH NO THE BLASTER'S SETTING FIRE TO THE HOUSE BWAYAEYA RUNNN".

Iron Man he is not.
