Blue Bettle. Just thoughts

Obviously, the upcoming film is an origin story. We’ve already seen Reyes, played by Xolo Maridueña, acquiring his powers through the activation of the Blue Beetle itself, which is an alien artifact that attaches itself to the unsuspecting teenager and grants him the use of an Iron Man-style super suit. However, this new clip hints that his origins may be more closely tied to the comics than we thought.

flash

I do not believe The Flash deserves to be one of the biggest bombs in movie history, reportedly on its way to lose $200 million, and likely finishing below movies like Black Adam or even Green Lantern for its lifetime box office. It’s a sad state of affairs when The Flash is advertising that it’s the first movie to release as an NFT on the blockchain, whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.

But while I enjoyed most of the film just fine, I agree with the sentiment that the end (spoilers follow), meant to be full of DC “multiverse” cameos for no other sake than to have them, was one of the worst scenes in a superhero movie I’ve ever seen. Now with uh, the movie on the blockchain, I guess, that scene is now going viral, and being passed around so people can see how bad it is.

Y2K

The era of excess, known for its fusion of pop culture and excessive consumerism, greatly influenced fashion trends. It was a time of designer monograms and bedazzled logos adorning everything, where everyday outfits blurred the line between streetwear and glamour. Interestingly, with the current resurgence of logomania-driven fashion, the intersection of luxury and streetwear, the self-absorption of social media, and the longing for simpler times, it feels like a natural progression to revisit this era. In this article, we delve deep into the Y2K fashion trend, discussing its origins and providing tips on how to incorporate it into your adult wardrobe without appearing to have a mid-life crisis. #y2k
