2 things.
Tell me you don't read comics without telling me you don't read comics.
One- The only reason Iron Man is now an A list hero is because of the movies. Before marvel started building out this universe,(first iron man dropped in '08) and I'm sure we can go back and looks at posts from back then... 15 years ago ( Shaddy, u was probably a toddler back then) everyone was like Iron man who? why they making a movie about THAT nigga? The geeks were hyped, but it was widely regarded as a gamble for Marvel Studios, because Like I said, Marvel has licensed away all their money makers and was making a movie about this D-list alcoholic hero, played by a fallen from grace alcoholic actor.
same with Dr. Strange, same with ant man, same with Guardians- these were NOT popular comics, and it was the MOVIES that made them into household names. They hot in the streets now, and ya'll want to act like they always been.
I could have just as easily said "Amazon took the Boys, a comic NO ONE was checking for and made it popular" or would you still be arguing about that too? or Suicide Squad? the whole point of which is that these are unknown -ass-lame-power-ass characters and they made a (arguably) decent movie out of it.
Two, I'm not riding for Blue Beetle. All I'm saying is that taking a relatively unknown character from the comics and making a movie about them is not an automatic fail- and yes, we all know DC S*T*A*Y*S fucking up what should be absolute home runs. If the movie sucks, it will probably be more from DC fucking it up than from the character being unknown.
Just ask yourself- could marvel make a good Blue Beetle movie? If your answer is yes, then it ain't the character.
