Please Support the Blue Beetle movie!!

Not to be Dramatic™ but this movie is a huge deal for the Hispanic community, especially Mexicans. The Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes movie has the potential to be the Hispanic communities Black Panther.

It was recently reported that the movie is in production, you can read about it here basically, this is the first superhero movie headlining a Hispanic. Not only that but Jaime Reyes and his family are amazing and we have the potential to have a wonderful Mexican-American family being shown on the big screen. I know we won’t get a movie that includes everything in his comic run but, the Blue Beetle series did a wonderful job of showing his family and him. There was one issue where they literally showed his extended family and how amazing they all are (BB Vol 8 #26) and can you imagine having people everywhere see a Mexican family reunion as it is? Normal and common.

Jaime Reyes is exactly the kind of representation we need. Hispanic men would benefit so much from seeing him framed as this all powerful superhero because guess what? Jaime Reyes is such a vulnerable young man, he’s shown crying in the very first issue of Blue Beetle

And again in the second issue when he’s offered clothes, food and help from a random stranger.

Like??? Do you all know how big of an impact it’ll be on young Hispanic boys (and boys in general) to see a superhero openly crying when he’s in danger or when he’s offered help? Jaime Reyes is a huge crybaby momma’s boy and it’s a truly wonderful thing that he’s so open with his emotions. Not only that but he has a minor case of PTSD when he returns to Earth after the Justice League left him behind in space (long story). He takes his family out to the desert where he crash landed and tells them the story of what happened and he literally has flashbacks before having a small break down. And you know what? Nobody mocks him for it, in fact his family runs to his side to comfort him, like? Jaime Reyes is the perfect representation if they do this right.

Do you know how powerful this scene is going to be if they decide to include it in the movie? Khaji Da/The Scarab that gives Jaime his powers was an alien device created to destroy or enslave entire planets. Just one super soldier (Jaime Reyes) is enough to destroy entire planets. Jaime Reyes has the potential to decimate the entire Justice League if he wanted to, the scarab has limitless weapons and limitless power but he still chooses to be such a kind and giving person. Even after gaining such incredible power, his deepest and strongest desire isn’t power, it’s literally to become a dentist. Jaime Reyes, who has a weapon attached to his back that could take down Superman himself…. wants to be a dentist.

I cannot say this enough but, Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle has the potential to be so good for the Hispanic community. In the last issue of Blue Beetle he thought he was going to die but his final thought wasn’t “I’m going to die” it was “I’m loved”

He of course, didn’t die, just broke every bone in his body.

I could literally keep adding amazing and funny and genuinely sweet panels of Jaime with his family and friends but I’d end up just screen capping every single panel. Jaime Reyes is a Mexican-American teenage boy who openly cries when people are nice to him, he has PTSD, he throws up in front of Batman, he’s a wonderful and kind boyfriend to Traci 13. He fights and teases but loves his baby sister, he openly expresses his love and appreciation for not only his mother but also his father. Batman gives him a boat load of money and what does Jaime do? Use it to buy his father’s car garage back. Jaime Reyes is an oblivious dork who once threatened to drop a villain from a couple hundred feet in the air before promptly saying “Kidding, please don’t tell my mom.” he’s also such a kind hearted person who cried because he couldn’t rescue everybody during a villain attack. Jaime Reyes, his family, his friends and his story have such a high potential to be such good representation for the Hispanic community and I genuinely hope they do his character and story justice.

I’m going to be hyping up this movie the entire way, because Jaime Reyes is my favorite superhero of all time, he made me feel proud to be Hispanic and his comic run brought me so much joy and laughter. I would highly recommend everybody read his comic run from 2006 and I want everybody to get as excited for this movie as I and others have gotten already. I’ve already cried several times upon realizing that we’re really getting a superhero movie where the main character is a Hispanic. So I really hope everybody can come together to support this Hispanic superhero headlined movie like we did with Black Panther.
