Everything Wrong With Blue Beetle in 16 Minutes or Less

Blue Beetle is the first* film of the new DC Universe... I think. Anyway, it's a harmless little family adventure that has plenty of sins.

"Photonic emitters" is just a nerdy way of saying "lights" which is pretty funny.

"It's in there, I can feel it." - something my wife never said to me.

I wish you brought up that the heroes journey began with him finding a job, and he never found one 😢

[nickmontgomery]

So they don't mention how Jenny steals the keycard from the scientist working on the scarab in the lab, but then later that same scientist gets back in the lab without his keycard

I literally cannot believe, for how much Milagro shade is in the video, you Did Not sin the scene where she tripped over literally AIR, and then for some reason didn't get up, causing the Dad to go back and help her and got caught in the crossfires and eventually die. THAT SHIT WAS HER FAULT

[brolohalflemming]

I was about to search for photonic emitters, but then I had a lightbulb moment.

[oneetatsu]

you forgot to sin that they hired the kid from cobra kai who can actually do all the moves and then cg ed all the fights anyway

If this movie came out five or six years earlier this would’ve been wildly successful.

I actually prefer the organic web shooters. I know some ppl think they diminish Peter Parker’s genius but he can still make a wrist gauntlet thing that changes the spray design of the web shooting gland.

13:03 How did you see this scene and not immediately think "PowerRanger" spoof?! It's screaming it to me!

[nopenopenope]

Missed a good outtake at 10:43 - "...we can transfer its code directly into the OMAC." Independence Day: "I gave it a cold."

[benyijohnson]

Could we have a "a bus is cut in half in superheroes movie" cliché? Shang Chi, Blue Beetle, Doctor Stra nge: MoM, Captain America: WS... just to name a few, feel free to add what I'm missing

[HarringJess]

I had the same thoughts about him having a hard time finding a job when he has a law degree. The sister also saying a negative thing about pre-law, he's no longer pre-law after graduating. He just hasn't passed the bar yet. He can get ANY job in a law office for $30 to $50 per hour or MORE because he can be paid as a paralegal but has MORE skills than a paralegal since he went to law school. Once he passes the bar, he can charge higher if he's hired as an associate attorney. So yea, he graduates from law school and within the first few days he thinks that working as a cleaner is the only job he could find.

HEY! you do NOT just drop in a Leaf on The Wind unexpectedly like that! I did not have time to weep today!

[slinger]

So glad someone else noticed the Zorg blaster.

I like how most of your sins are just referencing better marvel movies

[johnb]

2:54 forgot the part where the guy somehow gets into the room without his keycard

[mediaknight]

1:18 I have two degrees and I’ve been working at a job that only requires a high school diploma for five years. Struggling to find a job after college is a real problem that basically everyone faces and entry level jobs in the field you study often doesn’t pay much anyway.

I've seen this movie in the cinema with friends, and I'm not quite sure when, but at some scene I pointed at the dad and said "Well, he's gonna die."
Some undetermined time later, "Called it."
I blame/thank CinemaSins for raising my awareness of these tropes and how to call them out.
Ding!

[MysterixInfinity]

They both have dead father, they both have the 'with great power' shit, they both have powers based on insects, and they both have the 'hero don't want to kill people' cliche
This is basically Spider man but in Spanish?
