Disappointment doesn't even adequately express the feelings in my head right now at the underwhelming performance of Blue Beetle at the box office.
When it was first announced, I was ecstatic. As someone who had grown up in a world where the superhero world lacked the Latino representation I often wanted, I was eager to see what superhero fans thought about the first leading Latino character like that. It wasn't an animated film; it wasn't a side character – Jaime Reyes was the story's live-action lead.
