I think I was a bit too pessimistic about Jaime's development in the comics. I mean... at least he hasn't reached the kind of terrible situation Hal Jordan was in back then, right? Though a solo series or book is unlikely in the next year or two, at least we can still see him in various guest appearances. Since DC still values him internally, all we need is to hope for a good writer (I mean the kind of screenwriter who can write works that make me willing to give it a score of 9.0 or above. Don't argue with me. I'm not saying that previous works are bad) in the next phase. Some recent things have actually made me more optimistic—though Blue Beetle has very few fans here, being in such a niche fandom means you sometimes encounter really kind artists who give out free Bluepulse merch (how generous and sweet! As long as she’s here, I’ll keep following her!). Plus, there are Jaime memes to use, and since the fandom is so small, everyone pretty much knows each other—I rarely feel too shy to message people. Though maybe that’s just because I’m too outgoing online, lmao

Oh, and I realized I actually look quite a bit like Jaime—which is great! It’ll make cosplaying him easier, and the makeup won’t be too hard. Though, chances are no one will recognize who I’m on the cosplay party， haha 🤣

By the way, doesn't DC really have any realistic inspiration for Jaime recently?😶

I strolled around the Internet again to see what's new about Jaime. I think I know why nobody else is talking... or maybe it's just me being that freak. Anyway, I fell ill at school and felt uncomfortable without thinking about Jaime. My behavior is really a bit of putting the cart before the horse. I will withdraw from now and talk about it after June next year

Does anyone else think... the dentist protagonist in Gabriel García Márquez's 《Un día de estos (One of These Days)》is literally the perfect embodiment of what middle-aged dentist Jaime Reyes would be like in my mind??

I am obsessed with that dentist—this is what Nobel Prize-winning writing looks like, huh? In just a few pages of a short story, Márquez crafts a character brimming with tension—a man who balances kindness, compassion, and unyielding integrity, all conveyed through sparse yet razor-sharp action descriptions. The subtext is masterful, escalating the story’s themes with dramatic precision while deepening them layer by layer.

God, I adore that man. He’s exactly how I dream Jaime would turn out. Middle-aged dentist Jaime Reyes has an irresistible appeal to me—I need this.

Let’s talk about some recent comic-related thoughts.**

The average rating I’ve seen for *Blue Beetle (2006)* is around 8.0—maybe because many readers don’t find the story as "thrilling" as other superhero tales. But that doesn’t stop me from giving the pre-issue #26 arc an 8.8 (admittedly biased, not entirely objective).

I came across a review praising the story’s "layered storytelling," and I’ve been curious about how the writers achieved that effect. My guess is it’s partly due to the "episodic" narrative structure, though I’m still figuring it out.

As for translations, neither *Blue Beetle 2023* nor *This Land Is Our Land* have been localized in Chinese yet. I’m planning to do a fan translation of the latter someday—I’ve been learning Spanish on Duolingo lately. That said, I’m not particularly invested in problem of comics. There’s an old saying: *"Those involved are baffled; onlookers see clearly."* Still, I’ll need to reread it carefully.

Lastly, some hopes for DC: if they *truly* commit to "focusing on quality storytelling," I might dive back into comics. But with my college entrance exams looming, that’ll have to wait until university.

What's Khaji Da's relationship with the bluepulse kiddos? Considering they can hear and talk to him, is he protective of them? Does he care about them?

Wait! Did he give nicknames to them or is that out of character for him.... (I know nothing about his character but his name is cool and I dig it a lot)

I think he’s like a third Dad in a way. Like Jaime’s Papi, Bart’s Dad/Daddy, but Khaji is just Khaji. They love him and think he’s cool.

As much as a sentient robot can care for three kids, he does. He notices when Sol’s temper gets too high and recommends a training exercise she might like. He’ll correct Nana’s scattered mind, providing her with the exact date and time and some random fun fact. He recommends new plants to Ad, and what they do.

He is protective of them. He’ll say it’s because they clearly matter to Jaime, but in reality they matter to him too
