And I helped! :)

But seriously, even among comics nerds, B.B. is largely an unknown property and the super generic trailers didn’t help.

Doesn’t help that it just looks like an off-brand Iron Man. I saw one trailer and had no desire to watch anything related to it

Like I said, the super generic trailers didn’t help.

It’s Iron Man, but replace the alcoholic billionaire with a broke fresh college graduate, and replace Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan with a multi-generational Hispanic family.

Why are box office numbers always framed as a competition in the USA? Did I read once that, for example, movies in France report the number of people that attended–not how much money was spent?

First Oppenheimer, now Blue Beetle.

I still don’t get what my movie has to do with either one of these movies.

It has become an easy way to create a narrative in American movies, especially after Covid cleared the slate on how movies used to perform.
