Blue Beetle Was Better Than the Box Office Says

Was Blue Beetle unfairly slept on? In this clip from the Average Intelligence Podcast, we dig into why Xolo Maridueña’s Jaime Reyes works, why George Lopez actually lands, and how superhero fatigue + timing kneecapped a fun movie that might’ve crushed if it dropped two years earlier. We also talk pacing bloat, that wild abuela guerrilla gag, and why this felt tailor-made for direct-to-home cult status.

In this clip:

Why Xolo/Jaime is a win even if the box office wasn’t

The “released too late” problem + superhero fatigue

Fun vs. flaws: overproduction, too many characters

The case for home-release cult classic vibes
