Why is she so pretty oh my ggodd hjghejcncnxmxnxnskxnx

[red-ro5es]

While looking for some other screenies I found these and it just reminded me how badly I hate Alex and the parallels between Jean & his mom.

(Spoilers & me rambling follow the cut!!)

For anyone that doesn’t know (and also just to say it), Alex’s dad (idr his name LMAO) didn’t support his mom in raising him at all. He stayed out of Alex’s life until he was over 18 which means his dad was a deadbeat until there was no way he would have to actually take care of his kid.

Now to be clear!! His dad did seem to want to help him and take care of him later on. Which is better late than never I guess, but either way waves my hand.

Alex tells him that the only one who can forgive him for his absence, lack of help, and abandoning a teen mom (if I remember correctly!) is his mother. Who has passed away and won’t get the chance to do that, not that she would want to.

But throughout the entire series !! Alex is literally showing up at jeans house begging her to forgive him. He shows up at her place of work, where she’s trying to make her first film, and her HOME. because he wants her to forgive him so badly for something she should never have to deal with again.

She is aggressively uninterested in seeing him!! In the first screenshot she is actually telling him to get the fuck away from her. The second is when he shows up to her house (part 2 I think.). By the way he goes to her house multiple times. She didn’t tell him where she lived!! she probably spent YEARS paranoid and avoiding him only for him to relentlessly stalk her 10 years later.

And yeah sure Alex didn’t know what happened and the whole time travel thing but that literally does not matter!! She didn’t want to see him and he knew this and he kept coming back.

Despite all of this he doesn’t stop until he’s cornered her in the back of an engagement party for two of their high school friends. He doesn’t stop until she is sobbing telling him she wanted to forgive him and asking him to leave one final time.

I would!! Get a restraining order?? i mean that’s awful it’s literal harassment. How can he harass the girl he traumatized, knowing vaguely that he did some awful hurtful thing. And then turn around and say that only his mom could forgive his dad. It makes me so mad. Jean did not want to see you! She didn’t want your apology she didn’t want anything to do with you! And you kept coming back!!

I know that talking to his dad was later in the series but even after that he shows that he learned nothing. He corners her after expressing that nobody should have to forgive someone who hurt them. And then once he’s back in time he still immediately seeks Jean out. Which seems unbelievably stressful & upsetting! Especially considering the context he finds her in. He didn’t know if Jean was okay with him showing up or if she ever even wanted to see him again. He did not care! He decided that he wanted to be there so he would be, because it’s what would make him feel less guilty about everything.

Also, my mind is a bit fuzzy on this last bit so forgive me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Alex’s dad try to apologize to his mom at one point? How can he understand and even defend that some people don’t deserve forgiveness only to do this.

But then again! When has he ever listened to what Jean wanted or showed genuine concern for her comfort. Or followed her boundaries. Or even respected her.

God he makes me so mad sometimes actually I hate him a bit LOL. It drives me wild when I think too hard about the warp effect, always find something new to explode over I guess :,]

Pspsps if people could give me t/k/cdrama recs I’d really love it! No idea what to watch. Ive seen like two (The warp effect & daily dose of sunshine I think) so !! Pleading hands

Also kat and jo would’ve been amazing friends, or jo and jean, I would’ve loved to see how they treated everything with him because he went through so much as a result of army’s actions

Thinking about how kat could’ve outed army (especially since he cheated on her) (not to mention they were in high school so I wouldn’t exactly expect good judgement) but instead she just wanted to break up and then continued to supported him coming out at his own pace

Please Support the Blue Beetle movie!!

Not to be Dramatic™ but this movie is a huge deal for the Hispanic community, especially Mexicans. The Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes movie has the potential to be huge for Hispanic communities.

It was recently reported that the movie is in production, you can read about it here basically, this is the first superhero movie headlining a Hispanic. Not only that but Jaime Reyes and his family are amazing and we have the potential to have a wonderful Mexican-American family being shown on the big screen. I know we won’t get a movie that includes everything in his comic run but, the Blue Beetle series did a wonderful job of showing his family and him. There was one issue where they literally showed his extended family and how amazing they all are (BB Vol 8 #26) and can you imagine having people everywhere see a Mexican family reunion as it is? Normal and common. 

Jaime Reyes is exactly the kind of representation we need. Hispanic men would benefit so much from seeing him framed as this all powerful superhero because guess what? Jaime Reyes is such a vulnerable young man, he’s shown crying in the very first issue of Blue Beetle

And again in the second issue when he’s offered clothes, food and help from a random stranger.

Like??? Do you all know how big of an impact it’ll be on young Hispanic boys (and boys in general) to see a superhero openly crying when he’s in danger or when he’s offered help? Jaime Reyes is a huge crybaby momma’s boy and it’s a truly wonderful thing that he’s so open with his emotions. Not only that but he has a minor case of PTSD when he returns to Earth after the Justice League left him behind in space (long story). He takes his family out to the desert where he crash landed and tells them the story of what happened and he literally has flashbacks before having a small break down. And you know what? Nobody mocks him for it, in fact his family runs to his side to comfort him, like? Jaime Reyes is the perfect representation if they do this right.

Do you know how powerful this scene is going to be if they decide to include it in the movie? Khaji Da/The Scarab that gives Jaime his powers was an alien device created to destroy or enslave entire planets. Just one super soldier (Jaime Reyes) is enough to destroy entire planets. Jaime Reyes has the potential to decimate the entire Justice League if he wanted to, the scarab has limitless weapons and limitless power but he still chooses to be such a kind and giving person. Even after gaining such incredible power, his deepest and strongest desire isn’t power, it’s literally to become a dentist. Jaime Reyes, who has a weapon attached to his back that could take down Superman himself…. wants to be a dentist.

I cannot say this enough but, Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle has the potential to be so good for the Hispanic community. In the last issue of Blue Beetle he thought he was going to die but his final thought wasn’t “I’m going to die” it was “I’m loved”

He of course, didn’t die, just broke every bone in his body.

I could literally keep adding amazing and funny and genuinely sweet panels of Jaime with his family and friends but I’d end up just screen capping every single panel. Jaime Reyes is a Mexican-American teenage boy who openly cries when people are nice to him, he has PTSD, he throws up in front of Batman, he’s a wonderful and kind boyfriend to Traci 13. He fights and teases but loves his baby sister, he openly expresses his love and appreciation for not only his mother but also his father. Batman gives him a boat load of money and what does Jaime do? Use it to buy his father’s car garage back. Jaime Reyes is an oblivious dork who once threatened to drop a villain from a couple hundred feet in the air before promptly saying “Kidding, please don’t tell my mom.” he’s also such a kind hearted person who cried because he couldn’t rescue everybody during a villain attack. Jaime Reyes, his family, his friends and his story have such a high potential to be such good representation for the Hispanic community and I genuinely hope they do his character and story justice. 

I’m going to be hyping up this movie the entire way, because Jaime Reyes is my favorite superhero of all time, he made me feel proud to be Hispanic and his comic run brought me so much joy and laughter. I would highly recommend everybody read his comic run from 2006 and I want everybody to get as excited for this movie as I and others have gotten already. I’ve already cried several times upon realizing that we’re really getting a superhero movie where the main character is a Hispanic. So I really hope everybody can come together to support this Hispanic superhero headlined movie.
