Watched it over the weekend on HBO and I'm glad I didn't see it at the theater or buy it on disc.  I wasn't sure what to expect and tried to keep an open mind, but it just didn't grab me.  Hard to put my finger on why, but I kept wanting to change the channel on go back to a college football game instead of watching it.  I did like seeing Michael Keaton as Batman though.

Same here. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt but in my mind, easy to see why this bombed.

1. Ezra Miller. Even before his "shenanigan's" I found him to be very annoying in almost all of his movie roles. Worst casting in the Snyderverse. And we had "two" of him for most of the film.

2. Crappy effects and the baby scene. Honestly, that part almost made me want to stop right then and there. I know they were going for a neat way to show just how fast he is, but X-Men did it way better with better effects...The baby scene was just...Stupid. Oh and so was the "calorie counter" on his suit and watching him stuff his face. Played for jokes but wasn't funny.

3. They made Michael Keaton's Batman a joke at the beginning, some weirdo recluse with no background as to how he came to be that way. They give Nic Cage a primo cameo and nothing for Cavil? Disrespectful.

4. The story had some originality to it, but it was another super hero origin story with a dead parent angle. Too bad they didn't tie it somehow into the "Injustice" vision that Snyder had instead of what we got...But obviously couldn't do that without Cavil.

5. Throughout the whole film, you know that the story doesn't "matter". I know you could say that about lots of movies but a movie "built" on interconnectedness to a "dead" franchise, diminishes the investment in the character and story.

Anyway, at best it was another average super hero movie with an unlikeable actor. Not even Michael Keaton could save it.

...I did however, again, like Affleck as Batman...Shame he won't get a solo flick as the caped crusader.

Hispanics account for ~19% of the U.S. population - a much higher % than that of African Americans.

BP was also significantly different film as well, it was not just about the character of Black Panther, but it was also about showcasing an entire African civilization (with advanced technology) being portrayed, not just another youth (who happens to be Hispanic) getting super powers. The origin, story, marketing, etc., all completely different.

At end of day for Blue Beetle, does race have anything to do with it? Or was it just another average super hero entry that just failed to grab the general public's attention in the shadow of the former DC movie-verse?

Minor issue compared to other things posted here but even though I noted it on submission form, CGC did not include this as a Newsstand on the label. Qualify for ME?

Even if it does, I probably won't send back...Just curious for now.

I don't want to see a Spider-Man 4 to see Spider-Gwen or Miles. I'd want to see it to see Toby again, for one more outing. I'd also want someone bigger than Morlun. I still want a proper Scorpion (yeah I know we got hints in the MCU, but that's all, hints) please. 

Oh, I agree...I'd prefer it for the spotlight to just be on Tobey's Spidey. I am just saying it would be a WAY to do it (Introduce Spider-Gwen and Miles into live action) and if anyone could make a menacing Morlun, Raimi would be a good fit.

As far as villains, yes, definitely could use a proper Scorpion as one of the classic villains not yet used. Kraven could have been cool choice too, but...While derivative of Green Goblin, I could even see a proper Hobgoblin being a good choice. Heck, maybe even the Chameleon. Point being, still lots of Spidey lore for Raimi to mine :).

I would honestly love it if they did a Spider-Man 4...I think audiences would definitely show up to movie theatres to see a Raimi/McGuire Spidey 4. There are still several untapped conventional and unconventional villains they could use too. Have an older Spidey with MJ, maybe add a child element...Or, introduce Morlun (Raimi could make him pretty freaky, I suspect), launch a live action Spider-Verse movie, intro live action Spider-Gwen and Miles, have Tobey be the "elder statesman"...Anyway, suffice to say, I think they still have ample material they could mine for a solid Raimi/Tobey Spidey 4.

Hello @Wall-Crawler,

I have located the submission in question. This was a system error not done by our team. I have refunded these shipping fees back to your card. Thank you for alerting us of the issue!

THANK YOU!

For the my most recent submission, the corners of the cases of 2 books were smashed upon arrival.

CS was notified pretty much immediately and after a bit of confusion, I was provided with a return shipping label being from Canada. Form completed and shipped the books back promptly.  Appeared in my submission tracker today and this evening my credit charge was charged $80 USD.

Is this an accounting/classification error? I thought the ME should be all at CGC's expense?

I can provide submission #, etc. 

Question for @CGC Mike

What gives? Is this an accounting error? I thought the ME should be all at CGC's expense?

Hello,

Large Star Wars themed auction up - Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Legacy. A few others as well and a bunch of books with BIN or Best Offer. Thanks for looking!

As a casual DC fan, this isn't exactly renewing my faith that they can right the ship. I find the announcements pretty underwhelming.

I think the only thing I am really looking forward to is Swamp Thing with hopes it leads to JL Dark.

I also don't know why they could not have done a "soft reboot" and kept all the main players, just improved the stories and direction and added new characters to the mix like GL and Martian Manhunter.

Continue to sell and save for an AF #15, ASM #1 and complete my ASM run to present. 

I was pretty disciplined in 2022 so the I'm getting closer to that AF #15, it will be low grade of course, but it's within realm of possibility now.

MAYBE get a lesser key or a few ASM run books I need to scratch the collecting itch but not put too big a dent in the warchest.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Way too much food, good wine and lots of family time filled my day but I was still salivating about the contents of the present’s waiting under the tree! @Wall-Crawlerdid not disappoint for sure. A great and extremely generous variety of comics. Certainly nailed it with my collecting tastes. Thank you so much! 

 

Glad you are happy and you are most welcome!

Despite the USPS/Customs/Canada Post mangling my SS shipment, the presents inside arrived perfectly fine! 

Thanks in advance to @oakman29 for the gifts! Looking forward to opening these up!

Not sure if this is the appropriate area, but I have seen a few complaints online about how graders handle books.

Latest one...Post from FB Complaints and Comics Canada Group.

Just not a good look...
