Okay.
I'm gonna fly.
Yeah.
You got to force it to come out.
What do you want?
You're a genius.
I know what I say. No!
Did you know what was going to happen to my brother
when you stuck him with this world destroying thing?
It's called the Scarab.
I had no idea it would activate.
It has to choose you.
So how do we get it to our anxiously
host acquired
Who said that? Systems tracking three
Host Overreacting. Overreacting.
I'll go check, but I'm done with that, you know?
You know, so that a person in drinking post
protection
threat eliminated.
Sorry about that
I got it out, but what do you think the government is going to do
when they figure out that some kid has some military tech?
We're going to change the world with the power of the scarab.
It belongs to me.
Oh, he's pissed
Listen to me!
you got the wrong guy.
I'm a nobody.
I swear.
The world is a place to protect.
I have an arsenal at my disposal.
Anything.
Please watch and learn jaime
Whatever you can imagine,
I can create.
That's more like it.
That love
yo feel for your family makes you weak
You're wrong.
My family, that's what makes me strong.
Oh, my.
Oh, I forgot how bad it looks.
Target the family.
Sorry. me mom
Jaime?
You're the blue beetle that could use that arsenal right about now.
Thought you'd never ask. Oh, yeah.
I advise we back away.
Welcome back, everyone. It's Charlie.
They just dropped a brand new blue Beetle trailer with a whole bunch
new footage, so we'll break it all down.
There's a whole bunch of Easter eggs here for a bunch of different DC things.
James Gunn was also talking about the future of the character
inside his new DC studios.
The new DC Chapter one as well.
if you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos.
They'll be a bunch of big announcements and a bunch of more trailers
coming in the next couple of weeks because the movie is coming out next month.
And James
Gunn has basically just been dropping all the details about Superman Legacy
recently to even just announced what a lot of the new version
of the Justice League is going to be, which will be in Superman legacy,
like a bunch of the new Justice League characters will be in that movie.
I'll do a completely separate video about that the next couple of days.
Just because there's so much stuff that he released.
Like, for instance, Nathan Fillion is now playing Guy Gardner Green Lantern.
That's right.
Nathan Fillion, Green Lantern, Finally so fast on the towel.
You'll have to do better than that.
We should do. Darkseid is more powerful. Dark.
Not so fast. Dark.
Looks like we got here in the nick of time and we got backup.
Let's lock
per the announcement, Blue Beetle will be a big part of that.
And even though the people that
made Blue Beetle say that they want there to be a trilogy of Blue Beetle movies,
I don't know that they're going to do Blue Beetle too.
a lot of that just depends on the box office.
Now, they didn't spend nearly as much money as they did on the Flash movie,
so it doesn't have to make nearly as much as the Flash, like
the Flash would have had to made
about $1,000,000,000 in order to make it into profit.
No way That's going to happen now.
But if Blue Beetle does well enough, then they might do the second movie.
during the new trailer, you see a bunch more of car
parks and Victoria Court played by Susan Sarandon,
who are basically the villains of this movie.
The Reach is technically the real bill are
the people that actually built the scarabs.
but I think they just barely get into them during this movie.
They explain a little bit
about where the scarabs come from, but not completely get into that.
there are a lot of other DC Easter eggs and references,
like they made the Batman jokes in the first trailer
and there are references
to some of the other characters like in this
you see Ace Chemical in the background from the Batman comics, you see Lex Corp.
So there are ties to a lot of the other big Superman Batman, other huge characters
but they themselves like Superman isn't actually in this movie
part of the reason
why it's able to survive the transition into James Gunn's new DCU,
it would have actually gone worse for them if Ben Affleck's
Batman and Henry CAVILL'S Superman actually showed up in this movie,
it would've been harder to explain him showing up in the New DC movies.
is certainly the beginning of the trailer
working our way through, shot by shot, talking about Easter eggs and WTF moments.
The trailer itself is a little out of order, But.
They start with a funny scene of him trying to activate the scarab on command,
trying to figure out how to actually do it.
And he has to threaten his own life like, Oh, I got it.
I'll just try to jump off the building and pretend like I'm going to kill myself.
Then the scarab will automatically activate.
And if it wasn't clear, the voice of the scarab is
Becky G, who was part of the Power Rangers back in the day.
She also just had a track on Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse
to there's a little bit of power Rangers action going on in this.
but part of the idea with the Blue Beetle Scarab is that it was damaged
when it fell to earth.
So it doesn't listen to all the commands
like it doesn't obey all the commands that the reach gives it.
Like the normal scarabs.
What, for instance, the black beetle scarab,
Sometimes it'll do what high may Raya's tells it to do.
And sometimes it'll do what it wants to do.
Like the scarab has a will of its own.
think of it as, like, a really beefed up,
way, more advanced version of Iron Man's Air Friday or Jarvis.
Like they're a couple of lines of dialog where it sounds like the scarab actually
has its own sense of humor.
Like finally, let's have some fun.
this is is love interest Jenny.
She works for Cort Industries and steals the scarab, giving it to him inadvertently
causing the scarab to bond with them, not knowing that that was going to happen.
there isn't a Jenny from the comics.
So I think that
she might be an original character they just introduced for the movie.
she's also the person that helps them get into Ted Cord's lab later in the movie.
George Lopez is playing his uncle.
During the movie, his father is dead.
They do deal with the death of his father,
but it's kind of the same way in the comics, too.
there might be a couple of flashbacks to explain his father's death.
Or they'll just talk about it a little bit.
this is inside the Cord Industries lab.
when she says the scarab has to choose you.
The whole idea is that the rays conquer different planets by sending a scarab
pretending like it's a good thing, like a benevolent thing.
It'll find a compatible person to bond with whose consciousness it can
then override and the reach will give it commands, telling it
to take over a planet after a certain level of technology has been reached.
So the whole idea is that the Blue Beetle Scarab landed on Earth
about a thousand years ago.
Eventually, Dan Garrett found it couldn't activate it couldn't bond with it.
Ted Cord also found it, couldn't bond with it
but because Jaime Reyes wound up being compatible with it.
That's when the scarab finally fully activated.
when he asked them how do we get the scared to untie
choose me the joke about that is that you do not get to choose
you like he is the blue beetle for the rest of his life.
hopefully it will be a long life.
all the dialog that you get from the suit like host overreacting.
Please give me commands. Tell me what to do.
Like asking for permission to do certain things.
That's just it.
Trying to exert its will under normal circumstances,
if the scarab hadn't been damaged, it wouldn't need to do that.
The scarab would just do with the reach it programed it to do
They'll probably use this for some WTF reaction in the movie where he's not able
to get the scared to activate or do things during critical points.
part of the idea is that it doesn't always do what he asked it to do,
this is the car parks bill.
And without his suit activated at this party,
you notice,
he has a couple different versions of his suit
through the film, like he fights him with a lesser version of his suit.
It seems like his suit.
Then bonds with cord tech.
The Victoria cord was messing with this based on the scarab
so his suit was already core tech derived from the scarab
but then it bonds
with this other scarab tech in it winds up evolving into the much crazier
looking version of the suit Later in the movie
so the movie is kind of using him
like a dark version of him a ray is like he has a suit to kind of like
his only his isn't nearly as powerful as the blue beetle suit
We see more of Victoria Court played by Susan Sarandon along with Harvey Green.
From what we do in the Shadows, who's playing Dr.
Sanchez, who's sort of like a misguided scientist, is not totally evil enough
to make a Superman Christopher Reeve reference
this scene of the three of them at this Arctic base
feels very much out of the Superman Christopher Reeve movies.
he be like a much smarter version of Otis in this equation.
someone who isn't totally bad but has been doing whatever
the villain Victoria Court in this case
has been telling him to do up to a certain point.
So maybe he will wind up helping him areas later in the film.
but it looks like this
Arctic base is where they're experimenting with a lot of scarab tech.
this is probably when they'll start to tease the connection to the reach.
the joke in the trailer I may raise is a superhero,
whether he wants to be or not, whether he likes it or not,
is the idea that the scarab will override his personality if he's not careful,
like the suit will force him to do what the reach wants him to do.
But the idea with Blue Beetle is that the blue beetle scarab was damaged.
So it doesn't always do what the reach wants it to do.
the other big part of the trailer here is that they hype up the rest of his family
working with him.
Like you see George Lopez's uncle flying the blue beetle.
Ted courtship, that's also right out of the comics, too.
to make a DC in a marvel reference.
He's kind of like Ray Palmer, the Atom who uses a lot of tech
to be a superhero as well as Iron Man in the Marvel movies,
he uses a lot of his money in tech to become a superhero.
I'm hoping is that Ted Kord is still alive in the DC Universe and he just missing
People don't know where he is, so they think that he's dead.
The history of his relationship with Hymie Reyez blew.
Beetle is a little complicated.
They tried to sew that up a little bit,
and after a couple of DC reboots, the comics basically brought them
both back at the same time.
so in the more modern
comics, TED Cause Blue Beetle winds up being a mentor to him eventually.
but one of the other funny things in tying this back to James Gunn's new DCU
is that peacemaker also winds up being sort of a mentor to him.
A ray is blue beetle.
They've also been reports that he might come back in cameo
in the new Booster Gold series that DC is working on as well too.
that'll be part of James Gunn's new DCU.
They didn't say when the Booster
Gold Series will happen, but eventually the next couple of years
they started to get into those characters during the Smallville era.
So easy to imagine a much better looking version of that.
His uncle calls him Blue Beetle for the first time.
But the idea is that Ted Kord was a version of the Blue
Beetle before that, so was dangerous.
So I don't know how they're going to explain the origin of the actual name.
The Blue Beetle.
Maybe they'll find records of it in Ted Cord's lab
and they'll just start calling him that eventually.
Like you're the new blue Beetle.
Then they have the funny scene
when they're in Ted Cord's lab with his grandma Meemaw, just picking up
some of TED cords, weapons unleashing on all the guards.
suddenly the movie's testing really high with Grandma's
there's a whole bunch of new footage here.
So if you spotted any new Easter eggs
that I didn't talk about during the video, just write them below in the comments.
in once the movie comes out, I think the James Gunn girls are talking
more about the future of the character, but I think a little bit of that depends
on how the movie does financially at the box office.
Like do they do Blue Beetle too,
or does he just show up when they do the Booster Gold Series?
Either way, the movie does feel like it's going to be a solid small flick,
but it'll be much smaller in scope than, say, like the Flash movie,
which was trying to be way bigger, like a mini Justice League movie.
They did say there would be a bunch of Blue
Beetle specific cameos, but I think they were talking
about characters from the Blue Beetle Comics.
Not necessarily like Big Justice League crossovers or anything like that.
there was a bunch of other big stuff that just released.
There was like a brand new Deadpool
3 teaser of Wolverine vs Deadpool and a bunch of videos from the set.
So I'll do a video for that in the next day or two.
click here for that new Deadpool 3 video.
Update the link as soon as I post that
and click here for my full secret invasion Episode 4 Video.
Thank you so much for watching.
Everyone stay safe and I'll see you guys in the next one!
